Might be the biggest but it's procedurally-generated and I strongly suspect that there won't be much more to it than what we've already seen. Since the initial reveal, it's had "not gonna live up to the hype" written all over it, imho. But you're right, 20 bucks is kinda low, I suppose. I wasn't saying that should be its price, just that I had assumed it would be in that ballpark. Maybe 30-40 would be more reasonable but at 60 bucks I'm out and 80 bucks is just downright fucking insane.

Wait, No Man's Sky is a retail release? For some reason, I thought it was a smaller, downloadable game. I figured it'd be like 20 bucks or something. And just like that, all my interest in it is gone. I'd say "I'm not paying 60 bucks for that" but looking at Amazon.ca it's actually 79,99$ here, which is all kinds of WTF. I'll wait until it's ~15 bucks on Steam, I guess.

Alright, who's ready for the shit show tomorrow?! Nintendo's like whatever but the Square Enix conference promises to be particularly horrible! And then there's that PC gaming show which I kinda want to get excited about but I have a feeling it's going to be a whole bunch of nothing. edit: Holy shit, the Shenmue kickstarter is almost halfway there. At this rate it'll be well over its goal by the time I wake up tomorrow.

Okay, that was pretty badass. Closest they've ever come to topping that Uncharted 2 E3 demo. Also the Shenmue III kickstarter is already past half a fucking million. O_O Bloodstained might get dethroned pretty fucking quickly at this rate.

So, are they going to close with Uncharted 4 again? That would be pretty disappointing. I mean, I'm sure whatever they show of Uncharted 4 is going to be great but I hope they have something new to finish it off. And seriously, what's the point of showing the same games multiple times? We've already seen ACS and Battlefront at the other conferences... edit: Goddamnit.

Well, yeah, it's low as far as the game's actual needed budget goes. That's probably like Bloodstained where they need to raise this much to secure their real funding. I meant high relative to other kickstarter goals.

Have you even played Shenmue 1 and 2 or are you just hyped because the internet told you to be? Kickstarter is live. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ysnet/shenmue-3 Seems like a pretty high goal. Really curious to see if it'll make it.

I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't give a shit about Shenmue. I really don't get why everyone is so obsessed about it. I tried whichever one was on Dreamcast years ago and it didn't seem all that great.

Lmao, did they just announce a fucking Kickstarter?

I fucking lost it when they showed that chibi game. If it had been the only thing, that would've been so fucking amazing. But shit, it's actually happening. Meh. Just a short CG so I'm guessing it's very early in development. Calling it now: it's gonna be one of those games. Gonna take fucking forever and maybe even go dark for multiple years. Possibly never even come out.

Right. That's not an RPG.

I'm surprised by how much it looked exactly like last time. Maybe it was the stream quality but it even kinda looked like a PS3 game. I'd figured it had to have gone through a serious overhaul or something. Wonder what the fucking hold up was. Horizon looked interesting enough. Doesn't look like an RPG at all, though. Isn't that what the leaks said? I got kind of an Assassin's Creed vibe from it.

So, the two main fake rumors we get every single year are both back in full force this year. People are adamant that this is the year that both The Last Guardian and Final Fantasy VII Remake come true. I seriously hope that neither happens because the meltdowns on NeoGAF will be fucking glorious. edit: Well, shit.

What I want to know is whether it was already localized (or even partially) and they've been sitting on it for all those years or if they actually went back and localized it recently. If it's the latter, that might suggest Mother 3 being next is fairly likely, which is pretty cool.

XCOM 2 gameplay reveal on the IGN stream in a few minutes. http://ca.ign.com/events/e3 edit: Well, that was fucking sick! So stoked for this one!

E3: interviews with sports people and shitty musical performances. Truly the greatest week in video games.

Just realized that since it's not developed by Obsidian but by an internal Ubisoft studio, it's probably going to be a uPlay title this time. Ugh...

You mean with a celebrity host? Meh, Aisha Tyler's been doing a decent job. She's certainly much better than her predecessors.

HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!!! STICK OF TRUTH SEQUEL!!! FUCK YES!!

Man, that's two years in a row where the EA conference is a dud. This one actually made last year's look good by comparison. Maybe they shouldn't bother next year...

I love how they said right at the start "Star Wars Battlefront at the end!" as if they knew people would lose interest 20 mins in.

Hopefully we'll see some gameplay at the Sony conference or whatever. The games have always been revealed with CG trailers but this one isn't actually as far off as the previous ones. Also I'm okay with this if it means they keep the formula alive but take it in different directions a la Bloodborne. Bloodborne's cosmic horror lore/setting looked fucking great and the medieval/dark fantasy one is getting kind of old. I'd fucking love a sci-fi Souls-like game.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! Holy shit, the end!

Yeah, "whoever you don't pick dies" is my guess as well. And it's kinda funny that it's not happening in Tyvia. Guess that means those Darkness of Tyvia leaks were completely fucking bogus, then.

Finally, something I was actually waiting for! Just in time, too, since I just finished replaying Ys Origin right before the Bethesda conference started. Now gimme Trails in the Sky!
