E3 2018 Impressions - What The Fuck?

A fucking teaser for Halo Online that tells us almost nothing and Devolver telling us, "Oh whoopsie! SS4 WON'T be shown at E3 at all except to journalists."

First of all, E3 was Microsoft's chance to show that they did care about the PC community. About the Halo Online community. But then they showed us a little teaser and expected us to be happy about it? No, I'm not happy, Microsoft. Stop being a stingy bastard with the news and stop fucking Halo Online over. I expected an announcement at least that the ElDewrito team would be hired on or something, but no. We couldn't get that. We got deer and rhinos. That's what we got.

Second of all, this was Croteam's chance to shine. SS4 has been sitting in quiet development for a long time now. Few people even know it's still being worked on. E3 was the perfect venue to finally show off everything they're working on. To get some much needed publicity. But NOPE. Guess one of their top funded games with one of their absolute best teams doesn't deserve any screen time. Are you fucking kidding me, Devolver? Serious Sam deserves better than that.

0/10 - All interesting IPs were practically a no-show.

I dunno, one of my chats went apeshit over Cyberpunk. I'm not paying attention to E3 this year. In a transitional period right now, games are falling out of my interest, I think.

Besides, it's not as if Fallout: New Vegas is getting a sequel.

I don't even follow gaming-related news anymore

Between my hate for most of the publishers and my work schedule I rarely play video games other than pokemon on DS anymore

The only reason I have a ps4 is because a friend sold me one for $100 and I just get whatever game I feel like getting that's under $30

I'm happy with a new Kingdom Hearts 3 trailer, FromSoft's Sekiro also looks like fun in a Tenchu / Soulsborne way, haven't seen much else that catches my interest though.

So far, there's Metro: Exodus, Doom Eternal, Kingdom Hearts 3 and Cyberpunk 2077. Just mild interest though, not excitement.

Although I already own half the collection, I'm quite excited about the Kingdom Hearts All-In-One package, $100 for pretty much all Kingdom Hearts games on PS4.

Last of Us 2!!!!!


I'm sure there were other games too but Last of Us 2!!!!!!!!


Honestly though, I generally just ignore E3. History has taught us like...half of these games are going to suck major donkey so I don't really want to get super excited for a game that may or may not be worth getting excited for.


Except Last of Us 2 of course, the exception that proves the rule. I normally would have gone into information blackout once I decided to buy a game (which was instant for LoU2 after LoU) but I was interested to see the game-play and God damn that is a sexy looking game...


Last of Us 2!!!!

(I did watch Death Stranding too but that was more curiosity than anything and to be kind of blunt, the trailer really didn't do anything to answer any questions about what kind of game it was or what was the plot or anything so I'm not sure that even counts)

I tend to ignore E3.

Anything halfway decent is gonna have people screaming about how great it'll be (with no proof whatsoever). I'll take a look in a week or two at those screams to see what looks like might have potential.

I didn't even like the first one. Characters and graphics were good, but that's about it.

Probably gonna get crucified for that.
I watched a bit of it and wasnt sold. It looked like it was just another "movie" game, but probably the best one like it. I love a good story in a game, but it still needs to take second place to the actual game, which is nothing you can say about most of these. Basically, any time there's a qte in a game, it's being used as a crutch to gamify a movie. its ok in narrative experiences like the telltale games, but the further you stray from that genre, the more obtrusive it's going to be.
