E3 2015 AND YOU!

[Bryy]

Caed Nua, Part 2

Exactly my thoughts.

 

Probably one hub town revolving around a dungeon.

[Keyrock]

This is Ubisoft levels of cringe.

Yeah, I've done at least a dozen eye rolls so far.

[Elerond]

They seem to be very keen to get worst show in E3 award.

[ManifestedISO]

Well it's their first attempt at a show. Can't be easy to do.

 

I'm sure in years to come it'll be bigger, flashy, full of crazy reveals, maybe some Monster Energy girls. Someone of color.  

 

 

For now I'm looking forward to six-inch video cards and The White March. 

[Malcador]

 

[Keyrock]

LOL

[Lexx]

 

I really hope that wheel-inventory is console only.

[ManifestedISO]

I'm wiped, spent, glazed over like a fixed junkie. Tens of hours of video. I'm seriously considering a 1TB Xbox One, is how drunk I am on backwards compatibility. 

 

Forward compatibility is kinda irritating, though, how do I permanently remove this 'Get Windows 10' desktop taskbar icon ...

Well, if you find out, let me know...

Go -> Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Notification Area Icons and select Hide icon and Notifications for GWX

 

You can get that control panel address by clicking up arrow (Show hidden icons) in notification area and then clicking "Customise..." link.

 

If you actually want to delete the icon file then you need edit \Windows\system32\imageres.dll file, I think that icon can be found from there.

I really hope that wheel-inventory is console only.

Wheel inventory was in Human Revolution too and isn't really an inventory at all, just the console equivalent of the quick select bar on PC.

[Keyrock]

So, now that E3 is over and we've had a few days to get over the initial hype and the seemingly endless stream of marketing buzz words, what games from E3 are folks looking forward to the most (I'm talking both games we knew about previously to E3 and games newly announced at E3) ?

 

My most anticipated games from E3, in no particular order:

 

Super Mario Maker - Far more robust tools than I had originally expected.

XCOM 2 - It's more XCOM with expanded abilities, I already liked XCOM.  Still bummed you can't stand, crouch, or go prone anywhere, though.

Shadow Warrior 2 - I love Shadow Warrior and this looks much better.  My only concern is how it will play in SP with it being designed for co-op.

Just Cause 3 - I expect ridiculous mayhem.  I like ridiculous mayhem.

Deus Ex Mankind Divided - The fact that it was revealed that it would be possible to completely ghost the game from start to finish gave me wood.

Genei Ibun Roku ♯FE - This game looks insanely Japanese, insanely wonderfully Japanese.  The battles taking place on a stage with a cheering crowd watching on is a cherry on top.  The combo mover are hilarious too.

I would say

 

Total-War-hammer: It is full Total War scale waring with Warhammer units, it is interesting until it's revealed to be buggy mess that miss most of shown features

Xcom 2: I like their first Xcom game and with this they promise to fix many of the things that I found that could had been done better

Blood Bowl 2: I liked their first game and with this the promise to fix UI issues and other issues that I had with their previous tittles, but maybe I wait buying it until they release version that has all the teams.

 

Consoles didn't show any games that would make want to buy even one of the "new" machines.

 

Virtual reality gaming don't feel that exiting when you can't experience it yourself.

 

If they bring virtual Warhammer for Hololens I am in.

 

There was some games from big publishers that peaked my interest but their showing still left me skeptical (new Assassin Creed, new Deus Ex, Fallout 4 and Dishonored 2)

[ManifestedISO]

What, no, there is only and will only ever be American Truck Simulator BOOM 

[Agiel]

For me...

 

XCOM 2

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

The Division

Total War: Warhammer

Cautiously watching Hitman

Interest piqued by Assassin's Creed: Syndicate, but because it stands a real chance of really 'effing up, handling it with a pair of tongs like it was a uranium rod.

Games I'm looking forward to:

 

Dark Souls 3

Pillars of Eternity - The White March

The Banner Saga 2

Dishonored 2

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

XCom 2

Eitr

 

Biggest disappointment: No Bloodborn PC announcement.

[Sarex]

For me:

 

Deus Ex: MD

Xcom 2

Dishonored 2

 

in no particular order.

 

Also I will take a look at the new Mass Effect. (truth be told I didn't mind the ending of me3, but it did kill any replayability of it for me)

[Chilloutman]

For me:

 

1. Total Warhammer

2. XCOM after mandatory DLCs (not going to burrn again like with first one)

3. Kingdom Come: Deliverance

4. Deus Ex (if it will be more stealth then they showed)

5. Shadow Warrior 2

[BruceVC]

For me :

 

After E3 and the noticeable presence of all these female developers I am interested in if we will see certain changes in some games and what these changes will entail 

[WorstUsernameEver]

Biggest disappointment: No Bloodborn PC announcement.

I have bad news for you....

Wait, what, XCOM mandatory DLC? Everyone I know plays with DLC disabled, unless by DLC you mean the Guile flat-top hair option.

As for the pick of E3, I can't remember what was covered, but after perusing a handy list:

 

Tier 1 aka I'd totally have preordered them if I ever preordered things:

• XCOM 2 - I bent my GOTY rules to give the previous game the award twice, so it goes without saying really.
• Deus Ex: Something Somethinged - Sounds like more of the bits I loved, and less of the bits I hated (which was unfortunately the game's core missions)

 

Tier 2 aka Something would have to go disastrously wrong for me to not go for it not long after release:

• Dishonored 2 - Emily should have a personality, unlike Corvo, so the game's biggest issue is already instantly solved, right?

 

Tier 3 aka I'm sure I'll get around to them eventually; or, Somewhat misleading heading because technically I already have ownership of two of them:

• Fallout 4 - Let the modders have early access to the current builds already, so we can get mods on day one, thanks.
• Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition - I'm not sure enough's changed for a second playthrough, but will get started at least.
• Pillars of Eternity: White March - I want less dungeoneering, not more, so kind of cold on this. Er, no pun intended.
• Yoshi's Woolly World - Dammit I just want that woolly amiibo to be honest.

 

Tier 4 aka I might get bored sometime and look for something to do:

• Fire Emblem Fates - I haven't played a JRPG in years but was told if I were to start I should start with the previous game, but if I delay any longer I'll be forced to start with this.
• Just Cause 3 - I heard the previous game was some chaotic pointless fun? And that maybe it'll ship with multiplayer this time instead of modders tacking the feature on?
• Mass Effect 4 - I'd take stale and rehashed any day over offensive stupidity like the previous instalment.
• Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam - I heard some people say the Paper Mario games are actually good games. Maybe it's time to stop ignoring them?
• Mirror's Edge - Not sure they're making the right noises about the direction this reboot is going, but still some latent interest in the concept.
• Rock Band 4 - Would require me to buy an Xbone, eh.
• South Park: Fractured But Whole - No idea what to expect, honestly.
• Super Mario Maker - My 10-year old self's dream product. Unfortunately that was over two decades ago.

Tier 5 aka Actually E3 killed my interest in this game:

• No Man's Sky - I've heard people people hyping this to the, erm, sky. But then I saw the trailer and struggled to what the hell was the point of this game.

Mildly curious about Dishonored 2.

 

Not sure about Mass Effect.

 

Hated the X-Com game, so no interest there.

 

Pillars of Eternity - The White March, oh yes

 

Total Wars series were never my thing (my inherent dislike of RTS strikes again, regardless of the Warhammer name)

[Mamoulian War]

Pillars of Eternity expansion

NieR "2"

Dark Souls 3

FFVII remake ( but after reading some articles that they are planning to change the gameplay, I am not so sure about that anymore :-/ )

Shadow Warrior 2

 

EDIT: Forgot about Doom. Though I bet, that it will be bethesda.net exclusive, so I'll pass on it unless it will be another DRM free DD platform, which is unlikely.
