Does anybody care about E3 anymore?

This gen has to be the most uninspiring ever. There is no buzz about anything. Younger gamer folk in work don't really talk about games any more.

This gen has given me some of the best gaming experiences of my life, there's an absolute shit ton of brilliance out there.

Every E3 has some gems in it. It's still basically just one big advert that people lap up, but that doesn't mean we won't see some promising stuff as ever.

Speaking of seas.
Sea of Thieves I will be keen to sea.
I really like the look of it but with my Gold lapsed it isn't going to be cheap as I will be subscribing purely for that.

Tbf every gen has primarily been absolute shit, its just we're adults now so jaded as fuck.

Nothing new under the sun that isn't in your narrow purview of appealing. I mean I feel for you as you're not getting stuff you enjoy, but I'm sat here with a stack of games to play after exams and there ain't a single AAA title in there.

What they fall to render though is that in those two days, Sony can tear down any claims/pictures made and produce a reverse engineered cheaper tooled alternative copy

Or flat out lie which is more probable.

I wonder if MS will reveal a Scorpio VR setup or perhaps Hololens.
Games will always win though, tech is no good without hem. Although Sony haven't released half the stuff they stole the show with last year.

Ahhhh its more fun here anyway. I imagine there is much queuing at e3.

Haha this has reminded me that a guy I know who makes videos (what I have linked here before) chanced his arm for a press pass at E3 and got two, so he's gonna be there for... I dunno what purposes exactly. That's what happens when you get 50,000 subscribers in 12 months I guess.

Have a feeling the GDC might be the more interesting to go to, if you're actually want to see interesting stuff instead of days full of hype.

Still, I'd like to go at some point since we're close enough now.

I recently played through A Link to the Past, and whatever anyone else thinks about it, I enjoyed it more than Breath of the Wild. I tried Deus Ex: Human Revolution and gave up as soon as I died in its first stealth section: another sodding warehouse with crates and glowing ladders, cramming stealth mechanics into the always-too-tight first-person view. If I can't see a fair amount of the field then I'm buggered if I'm iterating my way through it with trial and error.

I still love gameplay, I just hate most games now. There's rarely difficulty any more, and without that there's no expression. When there is difficulty it's almost invariably a rote grind, rather than something that you can think about when you're not playing and return improved. I went through Another World: 20th Anniversary a few days ago and it actually made me think a couple of times; 'bout stuff I'd forgotten.

It's a bad game, and yes — it is rote, but engagingly so. Most of my failures were because I hadn't worked something out, rather than simply because I'd not had a clean enough run yet. Castlevania IV was largely the same. I was entertained.

And wish-I-were-a-film-writer stories can piss off. Ditto most film writers. Castlevania IV opens with a scene of Belmont looking up at a castle. There's yer narrative, and it's kickass.

RoboCod's easy, mate! But it was so bloody creative for its time. Show me a modern game with a robot fish in a toy biplane.
