Mister Jack Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 I played Monster Hunter 4 on the 3DS. It had some pretty good things going for it, but also some infuriating things as well. The combat is structured in such a way that you gotta learn the flow of your weapons kind of like an MMO character's skills, which is cool, but the game is already damn hard and sometimes it feels like it goes out of its way to make things unnecessarily harder. Healing potions, for example. Why in the name of all that is holy does your character have to stop and pose every time he drinks a potion? I can understand needing enough time to drink the potion without getting hit. That makes sense. But stopping to pose? You're in the middle of a fight, you idiot! Get your head in the game!

I do want to add that to me A Way Out looked cool, but coop-only is almost a dealbreaker for me. I don't want to have to coordinate with other people to play my game's campaign, and I don't want to have to rely on randos from the internet for what appears to be a heavily story-based game like that. I love it when games offer coop, but I don't want them to require it. I think it's really admirable actually. I'm someone who loves playing games locally, and whilst I get that it totally sucks if that's not a possibility, I really like the idea of them building a game from the ground up that can't be played solo.

Mister Jack Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 Pack it in. Nintendo actually won E3 this year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 Maybe Game Freak and Nintendo should've started on the Switch Pokémon game earlier. A potential for a 2019 release is too damn far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 I will now rank the press conferences: 1) Nintendo 2) Sony 3) Ubisoft 4) Microsoft A large gap 5) Bethesda Another large gap 6) EA An extremely large gap 7) Devolver Digital Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyEthan Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 The only exciting news was confirmation of a Pokemon RPG for Switch, but that was just a comment made in passing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyEthan Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 Not to me, although I know it is to lots of people (I honestly had completely forgotten they even announced it because I care so little). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Jack Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 Prime 4 Pokemon on the Switch An actual Metroid on the 3DS that isn't spinoff bullshit They don't have actual footage for the first two yet but weren't people just saying that you like to know you have something to look forward to rather than having a conference with no surprises at all? The fact these games even exist is fantastic news. My E3 ranking goes like this: Nintendo Sony Devolver Ubisoft Microsoft PC show EA Bethesda Yeah, I'm putting Bethesda below EA. EA was shit, but at least they aren't deliberately making the industry worse. Bethesda's constant Skyrim shilling, paid mods, and the fact they expect people to actually pay 60 dollars all over again for Fallout 4 VR kind of make me want them to fail as a company. They haven't even started on Elder Scrolls VI, if rumor is to be believed, and I believe it. Wolfenstein II was not enough for me to forgive all the other bullshit.

Just don't go full retard and start showing concept art and tech demos like EA and Square-Enix did last year. Those "Now in development!!" announcements are exactly what I was talking about when I said don't go full retard. It just reeks of desperation. The Pokémon Switch announcement I can kinda get since people acted like complete nutjobs over the Ultra Sun/Moon thing. That was probably just to appease the crazies.

TheMightyEthan Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 Wolfenstein II and Dishonored DLC was enough from Bethesda for me. I'd probably go: Sony Ubisoft Nintendo MS EA Disclaimer: I didn't watch Devolver or PC Gamer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 I think Pokemon Switch / Metroid Prime 4 announcements were smart. People would have freaked without those announcements so at least they've shut people up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 I don't really see the problem with doing "Now in development" announcements if they're brief, like the Metroid and Pokemon ones were. They just said "Hey, we're working on it" and moved on. They didn't waste a bunch of time talking to developers behind the scenes who went on about how excited they are to be working on it like EA did that one year. That's something I can definitely understand not liking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toxicitizen Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) Yeah, I guess. I just think that having literally nothing to show is pretty much the one scenario where you're definitely announcing too early. I'm not gonna give them a pat on the back for showing a fucking logo and having entered pre-production on something people have been asking about for like a decade. Anyway, don't really feel like ranking the conferences because most of them fell into "good, not great" for me. Except for EA, they were trash as usual. A+ for consistency, guys! The highlights for me were: The Evil Within 2 XCOM 2 expansion Wolfenstein II Metro Exodus Griftlands (new Klei game) So, I guess Bethesda and PC Gaming Show technically win. Btw, I'm probably missing something obvious but how do you guys do line breaks without a full line skip? Since the forum update, whenever I hit enter it skips a line and goes to a new paragraph. I had to copy paste Ethan's post to not have my list take double the amount of vertical space. Edited June 13, 2017 by FLD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
