E3 2017 (1,224 views)

Oh no, how dare they ruin the sanctity of E3. Like this night show will have any baring on Sony's conference, it wasn't even on a real stage. Twitch did it as a joke. Do you remember the absolute garbage that was the Konami conference in 2010? It was so bad that literally everyone in the industry was embarrassed by it and it was the first real sign that Konami was doomed. But it did not leave an in-erasable scar on the industry, it is now a fun "so bad it's good" moment to look back on, people moved on. Because goddamn, Konami 2010 and Sony 2006 were the absolute WORST. Sony was so bad in 2006 that it had a direct cause on their sales of the PS3. People thought it was a fucking joke of a console because of that shitshow. I still think back on it and cringe.

How dare people want to have a satire conference during the event.

And you know what? If they want us to have fun, maybe they should make some fucking games to play. Thats the entire point. Thats the fun part, having some games to look forward to. If I wanted juvenile, cringy humor, I'd go to a shitty "gaming" message board or the Youtube comments section.

The PC game conference just announced this ludicrous monitor.

$1500

Jesus Christ! 32:9!? What is that even for!?

People haven't even really adopted 21:9 yet, where the hell are you going to find 32:9 aspect ratio content

Thats actually not that bad of a price considering how bleeding edge it is, and how many much smaller 21:9 panels with less features are that are in the $1000+ range

I just hate curved displays.

There's a rumor floating around that Gen Design is going to show something off during Sony's conference. They JUST released The Last Guardian, it would be too soon to show anything unless Ueda had some serious downtime during TLG's development (which, to be fair, he did).

[pichubro]

No Aisha Taylor this year? Has Ubisoft finally realized that she's a horrible host?

[Mario the black knight]

Maybe TLG DLC?

Probably nothing

[pichubro]

Ugh, I would rather not have DLC for TLG. I don't even know what kind of DLC you could add to it.

[Mario the black knight]

Scholar of the First Sin style? The same game, but better?

Thus why I'm leaning towards it probably being a baseless rumor.

[pichubro]

Miyamoto shows up for Ubisoft's conference but I had to work the counter so I missed whatever he was going to talk about.

[Mario the black knight]

Probably came to flip the entire company over and tell them to start again

Frankly, I'd listen to him.

[pichubro]

So I pretty much missed the entire conference because of work. Ehhhh.

[Mario the black knight]

It's Ubisoft, who cares?

Work is doing you a favor.

[pichubro]

I want to see why they are selling a $700 collectors edition of the newest Assassin's Creed game though

[Mario the black knight]

The answer is always the same: it's fucking Ubisoft, thats what they do.

It'll come with the same thing all of their collectors editions come with, a giant pile of disappointment and regret.

[pichubro]

Whoa, Beyond Good and Evil 2.

[pichubro]

9 minutes of Ni no Kuni 2 gameplay, coming out this year!

Thank GOD they changed the battle system. Now I just need to beat the first one before picking up this. I like that they went full action gameplay and not the retarded hybrid style of the last game. Looks so damn good.

[Mario the black knight]

God I hate the new protagonist, Oliver was so much better

Also, I hate the action system, they should have gone full turn based instead.

[pichubro]

His voice is kinda grating, but if he's written like the typical Ghibli protagonist than I won't really have an issue with his writing. Olivier was hardcore though. If only because he grew up in Detroit and learned how to drive-by when he was 3.

They were going to have to choose one or the other and action was definitely going to be it because the first game was already 80% an action game with 20% awkward menu juggling and no dedicated block button. I think Kingdom Hearts is the only action game that has gotten menu-based action game down right.

[Mario the black knight]

Not just his awful voice, he looks stupid.

It's unfortunate, I think it could have been more strategic

I guess this means the only person left who can bring back turn based combat is me.

[pichubro]

Talking about an IP where the secondary protagonist of the first game was a walking teardrop with a lantern hanging off his face.

I actually like this battle system, it's Pikmin instead of Pokemon. And Pikmin can get pretty strategic.

There have always been turn based game releases. At least two big name ones this year.

[Mario the black knight]

And yet, that is still less stupid than the protagonist of 2

I would have rather seen them trend closer to turn based.

Not good ones. Just more anime garbage

[pichubro]

Are you going to watch Sony's stream? I might be able to catch the first hour or so but it will be in low quality thanks to our internet and I will surely get interrupted by customers. And I will be driving home during the end.

You ready for dat KH3 goodness?

[Mario the black knight]

Ugh...maybe?

I dunno, I'm just not excited for it anymore.

I've got nothing I'm really looking forward to...
