E3 2013

Akratus

Bleep bloop.
Did anyone pick up any announcements at e3 so far, that were actually interesting? Because I didn't. My reaction to everything I know so far about E3, can be summed up with the word SNORE.
 
For me:

Infamous Second Son looks good, it definetly washed away the stupid from that "police are evil, SUPERHEROES!" speech made in the PS4 reveal. And well, I can't ever get enough Infamous.

Bayonetta 2, the Wii U needs to push harder to get people to buy it, it's a good start, but only that.

Star Wars Battlefront, even tho they only showed that rather crappy and short cgi trailer, a new Battlefront could be awesome, if they don't fuck it up.

Super Smash Bros on the 3DS, cel shaded casual fighter on my pocket? I can dig that.

Rayman Legends, loved Origins. Nuff said.

Dark Souls 2, if that one has a good PC port I might finally get into the game.

I was excited for Watchdogs, but that cgi trailer makes me fear it'll be a shooty shooty TPS with either scripted or very contextual "Hacking" actions... let's hope it is not.

And well, I am a pokefag, so Pokemon X and Y, Looks like gamefreak are blowing their load with this one, a good contrast to what they normally do releasing the most basic set of games possible first before ramping things up in the next ones.
 
Been interested in the latest Metal Gear Solid. Not sure if I will be a fan of the open world thing, though.
 
Eh, no Metal Gear for pc, no purchase from me. And that's really too bad because it seems so cool. I guess I'll have to wait a decade or two for it all to be playable on emulators or something.

EDIT: Fuck that shit. I just saw the Metal Gear open world trailer, it looked amazing and then they fucking reveal a "sniper girl" in a fucking bikini! AND THEN THEY GO ON TO SHOW SOME STUPID ANIME KID AND A GUY NAMED SKULLFACE. FUCK YOU KOJIMA.

I take it you didn't play Metal Gear Solid before?

I have no real issue with Quiet. For some odd reason, I find her less problematic than Eva's out-of-control cleavage.

You are right, I'm quite unfamiliar with Metal Gear and haven't played it before. The only woman from the series I knew before this was

And I assumed Kojima or also other people thankfully had the sense no other japanese developer has, but I guess not.

It's really stupid to see such smart gameplay, environments, story elements, and character design on the one hand, and retarded characters, botched english and just overall stupidity on the other hand. But I guess I shouldn't have expected so much from a japanese developer, I know no other japanese developer makes good games, so it was stupid of me to think they'd be otherwise.
 
I really don't get the reverence for Kojima as a writter, he is like a poor man's Tarantino.

Which, hilariously, actually was a plot point.

Wow, just wow. Such an ignorant thing to say.
 
No, the only thing that got me mildly interested is the Witcher 3, but it looks like it's gonna go the same path as skyrim. Would love to believe it's for the good, but it usually isn't.
 
Obviously interested the most in Battlefield 4 and it didn't disappoint me. :P

Dark Souls 2 seems to be going the way of the edgy Emo-Music trailer now, let's hope it's not an indicator how the final game will be

That Metal Gear game looked nice (and so did that womans cleveage)

Rest was pretty uninteresting/embarassing so far (I've watched most of the stuff live via stream)

Yeah it's partly preference, but really, japanese developers simply do not seem to take themselves seriously, or their work, that's all I see. I prefer my Planescape Torments, Fallouts and Half Life 2's, thank you very much.

EDIT: Fuck it, whatever, I take it back. Metal Gear V is coming to pc and DAT STEALTH.

Oh, don't you worry. I'm sure they've changed out all the in-game music with edgy emo music. And you will only be allowed to choose between emo haircuts for your character. And it's likely that razorblades and pill bottles will be the only items you will find.
 
What I really don't like are these diamonds in Big Boss' head. It looks stupid. Especially because he didn't had this stuff in MGS4.
 
Not much. Nicest surprises for me were a new Killer Instinct (shame it's X1 exclusive) and Mirror's Edge 2. Other than that, MGSV, Witcher 3, and Dark Souls II.

I know I am. Ever since MGS3, we haven't really had much freedom outside of the mission based games like Peace Walker. While MG1-MGS2 were limited, they didn't feel as linear. The gameplay looks good enough where I can see it working well in conjunction with an open world environment.

I just hope there isn't parts where you just travel for like 5 minutes straight with nothing going on.

I've seen speculation that her skin can possibly act as some sort of camouflage like the octocamo hence why the dark spots on her face disappear.

Wouldn't call it a stretch considering we had a character that was capable of "photosynthesis" and could regain stamina.

I can *kind of* get it because I used to be that way when I was younger, but as I grew up and got more exposed to things, I realized how nonsensical it was. Although I still think MGS1 and to some extent 2 (if you believe in it being post-modern and such) are probably the best. Everything after that has been abysmal. But, nonetheless, I still enjoy the games a lot.

Nanomachines!
 
But this is what I fear. Most open world games of this type are boring shit / don't hit my taste. I fear that you might end up running a long time through empty terrain and I also fear that you could be running through a big area while shooting and stuff all the time. Yeah, you probably can stealth around it then, but I know that after a few hours, I will just start shooting everything to get done faster.
