I'm in Cocoa, and we have the same prices.

At least, the same as your JD.

Let's not get lost in the fact that PC =/= Steam

I didn't actually watch EA's, but I give them points for bringing Madden to PC.

I'm watching the Direct, right now.

Consoles aren't infected with Steam though.

Yeah, having frequent sales of 50-90% off, freedom to access your games from any PC, and the ability to sell useless trading cards for additional store credit really blows.

Considering you're not getting a disc/case/manual, 90% off is only a fair price. Uh huh freedom. Including not being able to play online or at all because there's no off mode or a forced update. Why would you buy cards in the first place?

It's not worth the effort. You can't place Steam in a positive light. Tried it once and I haven't used a PC for gaming in 10+ years.

Uh, there's an offline mode for Steam and has been for a long time. Oh no an update, consoles would never make you wait to play a game if there was one of those.

Consoles these days are trash and that's the only reason I made the jump and upgraded my PC.

I miss how the 360 used to be it's own little self-contained entertainment device. But that got ruined with the kinect update, share buttons, and GTAV.

First off, you don't buy the cards. You get them free for playing games naturally.

Secondly, have you even read a manual since.... '08?

They're the most barebones pieces of shit ever. Manuals haven't been good since the PS2/NGC/OGXB era. Furthermore, discs are completely obsolete and redundant now. I'd be all for 100% physical copies of games, but now they only exist to install the game onto your HDD and ironically, as a form of DRM. Even though you have the game on your console's HDD, you can't play it without the disc unless you own the game digitally

I honestly don't know what you're talking about regarding not being able to play online or otherwise.

With that said, it's still redundant because of PC.

But so is Playstation. The fanboys won't like to hear that, though.

Consoles aren't infected with Steam though. Power isn't the #1 factor in a gaming platform.

This nerd really hates Steam.

So do I, but Steam isn't even necessary.

There's GoG and.... other means, of playing games without a third party client.

I didn't follow it at all. Did I miss anything big?

You'll have to be specific. The biggest news is DMC5 and a RE2 remake.

The next Fallout is an MMO, but it looks like it has some sort of promise.

ESVI is confirmed and will likely have an actual trailer in 2035.

Souls-like is starting to become it's own genre. We saw at least four new games that emulate the style, 3 of them being set in Feudal Japan. Nioh 2 is one of those games.

B+

I'm excited for Battletoads, DMC5, Nioh 2, Cyberpunk, Assassin's Creed, and Madden on PC.

There's other games that I'm either cautiously optimistic about or intrigued by, such as Babylon's Fall and Sekiro and others.

There's games that while I'm not specifically hyped about, look great, like KH3. I do look forward to playing that sometime, especially with it being on PC and all.

And then there's stuff that I'd be excited about if there was any point to it. I'm not going to spend the next however many years with ESVI on my mind. Remind me about it when we actually have footage of the game itself.

However, in spite of all of this, I still feel like there were quite a few missed opportunities. Like, where the hell is Mortal Kombat? Nothing of Soulcalibur VI? Or the Spyro remake trilogy?

On top of that, a lot of presentations were just outright awful. Even with AC: Odyssey looking great, by the time we finally got to that portion of the show, I was just sick of Ubisoft and their bullshit.

Sony's format was weird and didn't seem well-thought out. On top of that, when they finished, I didn't feel fulfilled. I felt like there was more we should've seen.

Squeenix similarly left me feeling empty, but they didn't waste any time. They got their presentation over and done with in a swift half hour and the new Babylon IP looks promising. I know everyone hated their presentation, but I give them points for it, due to the format and no bullshit. I think everyone, myself included, just wanted more.

Bethesda was decent. They had a lot of stuff to show off, but.... they didn't really show it off. They spent more time telling us about it, than anything and even then, they didn't really say anything of a whole lot of importance. They had good content, but they needed more show and less tell.

They revealed some cool stuff, but their presentation was horrible and when it ended, it didn't feel like there was enough.

This thread is funny.

They have the two singlemost high profile games coming up, right now.

Outside of possibly Red Dead.

And even if you don't want to make that argument, RE2 got the single biggest pop of the entire convention so far.

No Mortal Kombat, No Soulcal.... I'm sad.

That's it? They showed off some cool stuff, but I'm still disappointed.

Alright, I'm down for Nioh 2

First game was awesome

Hail Hydra

Wtf Sony

Pretty sure we didn't need to see that shit

Hail Hydra

Never understood the hype for this series.
---

Hail Hydra

Depends on just how much they can milk VI.

Hail Hydra

Don't get me wrong, I'm not betting on it in the least.

But it is a possibility and the series has gained a bit of steam, it seems.

Man, I was expecting at least a Beta or something.

Maybe, just maybe it will be during the Sony conference with a surprise announcement for a PS4 release. Warband made it to consoles, afterall.

Hail Hydra

LMAO, okay.

Welp, that's why half of my attention was directed to pornhub.

Sony's on at 9:00 EST, right?

I'm surprised this one has been so long.

3/10 conference

Odyssey was the only thing worth a damn that they showed.

Skull and Bones, I liked pirating in AssCreed 4.

That looks pretty good. But if it's only online, I have no interest.

Did they say that and I missed it? If so, then I've got no interest either. Hoping it's single player that can have multi if you want it. Otherwise idc one whit about it.

I agree.

I don't think they said it, but I got the impression that it was a multiplayer game.

E3 needs to cut Ubi's stage time in half from now on.

*15 minute CGI-fest trailer without any relevant information pertaining to the game*

*25 minutes of some fuckface talking*

*15 minutes of actual footage ruined by too much narration or horribly scripted/linear gameplay*
