Well, this is decidedly mediocre, and yet it's still the clear highpoint of the EA event. The other press events are going to need to actively try to come up with something worse than this event.

God, I still want a good Iron Man game...

So...Anthem basically works like SWtOR, just that the single-player instances will be the entire town.

And here's the desperate loot box walk back ...

Are they really devoting this much time and effort to a phone game? And is this even a new game? They didn't do any sort of announcement for it. This is baffling.

Oh boy, both an athlete and an esports fucker for the too-long EA sports segment. Going for the twofer.

Odds of this chick hyperventilating and passing out? I give it at least 40%.

Well, a pachinko company, but I'm talking about their 2010 E3 conference, also known as, "Oh yeah, that televised fever dream." Hard to muster up more cringe than that fascinating train wreck.

Heh, if you want to see cringe, go onto Youtube and search "E3 Konami". Enjoy.

So, they're awkwardly announcing what is basically The Force Unleashed 3, without actually showing anything.

Exactly one game into E3, and we've already got "no lootboxes, we promise!" and Battle Royale. Isn't predictability fun?

10 minutes out. Almost time to watch Anthem continue to feel like a missed opportunity, to watch an entirely too long EA Sports segment, complete with random athlete brought out to awkwardly banter with presenters, and to watch them *desperately* try to walk back the whole loot box fiasco.

If there's one thing Wild Arms should be remembered for, it's the music. To this day, it's one of my favorite game sound tracks, and I still periodically feel the urge to go look up a bunch of songs on Youtube and marathon it.

As this is the E3 thread for the year, we should probably have the schedule for the press events somewhere in here. I always find it easier to have it somewhere like here, than to hunt around for it on gaming news sites come E3 time. All times are Pacific: Sat, June 9 11 am: EA Sun, June 10 1...

On the vain hope front, I'm hoping to see something of that game Wild, the other game Michel Ancel is working on alongside Beyond Good and Evil 2. It looked pretty cool last time they showed it, but the last time was a couple years ago. While I'd love to see it at E3, my gut says that, if we see...

Correct; by the time of the Wax and Wayne books, there are no full Mistborn or got-everything Feruchemists. Can’t remember if it’s the bloodlines thinning out, or Harmony deciding that shit needed to be toned down, or if the reason has been specified at all, but people are down to one power per...

I think they've confirmed that MnB2 won't be at E3 this year.

I'm predicting the following: Ghost of Tsushima gameplay (I believe this is already confirmed, but whatever) First look at the Avengers game being made by Crystal Dynamics First look at Cyberpunk from CDPR Nintendo's thing will be 75% Smash Bethesda shows off one of their new IPs Entirely too...

Damn, I'd hoped he would have a bit more time after his options had been exhausted; that was fucking quick. RIP TB, now go critique God for the lack of graphics options available in life.

Pretty much where I’m at with this game. It can’t possibly be the descent into madness that was the Omikron LP, but it should still be a fun train wreck.

Great movie, and easily the best use of the post-credits stinger to date.

Played this one last year; short for an rpg (to be expected for an indie title), but a fun game. And while not perfectly historically accurate, these guys clearly did some research on this one, so I have to give them props for that.

Yeah, that’s fair. Let’s instead say “the only MMOs in development, period, that aren’t some Korean shit”.

This, Pantheon, Ashes of Creation, and... um... yeah, that's it.

Jesus Christ, this movie. The fact alone that they managed to have like twenty fucking superheroes, and managed to give every one of them their moment, would make it worth calling it a great movie. The fact that they did it, and also gave us what might be the most compelling villain that...

I have no ill will against anyone at Daybreak, but God this has been entertaining. The sheer brazenness of the whole "what are you talking about? We have no connection to Columbus Nova" thing has been downright awe inspiring. EDIT: And now they want the Ashes of Creation guys to buy them? Huh...

Yeah, I've had my eye on this one since it was announced. Looks like it might scratch that VtM:Bloodlines itch.

For female gaming streamers, PeachSaliva's an entertaining (and somewhat baffling) mix of super competent (blasting her way through many of the harder bosses in Bloodborne) and massively incompetent (watching her brain shut down on the shadow puzzles in RE7). The whole dynamic between her and...

And we’ve got a release date, September 7th. Also, Gameinformer’s doing a whole month-long coverage thing for the game, so we should be getting some news in the coming days.

Well fuck, guess I need a Switch now.

Observation points are kinda neat for being able to see what real-world locations the various game locations correspond to, but that's about it. All the other collectables are just for selling to merchants in Meridian for special resource boxes.

For me? Go hard on the “virtual world” side of mmo philosophy: -drop linear main quest lines that make your character (and every character) into the Chosen One. -develop systems that do away with the static game world, and allow persistent change to come about both through player actions...

Solid B-tier Marvel movie all around. Decent action, good supporting cast (I especially liked the sister), nice aesthetic, and didn’t go over the top with a “blacks fighting off white oppression” theme, which would’ve been an easy pit to fall into. Good movie, but not hitting the level of the...

New Soul Calibur 6 trailer: New character Groh is a big anime edgelord, but whatever, gameplay looks interesting. My boy Kilik is looking awesome, and the whole corrupted form thing is a nice throwback to his SC1 lore, and Nightmare and Xianghua are also looking good.

They have. It’s called the Mortal Empires campaign. You do need both games, but you only need to own WH1 and have it in your Steam library, it doesn’t need to be installed; the campaign’s accessed through WH2.

My plan has been to run the Vortex campaign with the four base races, then do ME with any DLC races. I'm in the middle of the skaven campaign right now, leaving me with just the dark elves to do; after that, I can move on to ME with tomb kings and norsca, and whatever comes next.

Each series in the Cosmere books takes place on a different world in the same universe. For the most part, this fact only shows up in some easter eggs (there's a world-hopping character who pops up in every book, and the various magic systems have a common foundation), although the Stormlight...

Settra does not serve... So this is the only remaining main race that fits for Warhammer 2’s map, which means that in a few months we get to see if the hopes/expectations for things like Araby or the Southern Realms have any merit.

Okay, Finn's whole storyline was completely unnecessary; it really does feel like they couldn't come up with any significant role he could play in the story, but they couldn't very well have one of the main characters just not show up for an entire movie, so someone just came up with some random...

Yeah, looking pretty good for its current stage of development. Glad to see that; this is the only MMO right now that's looking remotely intriguing to me, so it's good to see that it's shaping up.
