Here's the schedule for everything this week. Go nuts. (http://www.theverge.com/2016/6/10/11902070/e3-schedule-2016-live-stream-events-sony-xbox)

As someone who only owns Nintendo products (because lack of money), I can't wait to see what Nintendo brings along with Zelda. I'm always excited on what Nintendo brings every year, even if most people don't like it (i.e. last year).

But I'll also watch other streams such as SquareEnix since my friends are super excited for it (especially on news like Final Fantasy).

I'm looking forward to Nintendo as well. Sony's also a good one for me, they usually do a good job of showcasing ALL OF THE GAMES. I'm also curious about Bethesda, weren't they working on another Elder Scrolls game?

I did hear rumors about it but I dunno if it's true. I wouldn't be surprised though. Skyrim did really great and it's been 5 years since it first came out.

I watched EA's and Bethesda's stuff...The only thing that EA got me interested in slightly was Titanfall 2, it actually has a singleplayer campaign now. Let's hope it's not trash. Bethesda's was pretty good, I got hype for Dishonored 2 because of Emily Corvo and the fact that if you preorder Dis2 you get the GoTY edition of the original Dishonored for free ahhhhhh

No Elder Scrolls VI announcement tho. That makes me sad. :( I need to look into this Valenwood thing and see if it's still legit. On the other side, if you own the Legendary version of Skyrim or Skyrim and all its DLC on steam, you get the "Special" version of Skyrim for free. :D Also that pre-pre-show for Bethesda was hilarious, I think it's my favorite moment in this year's E3 so far. It was also nice seeing Adam Sessler and Morgan Webb again (skewed opinions be damned).

Looking forward to Sony tonight. Plz be gud ;u;

Kinda disappointed that there's no news of ES6 and that it's not about how they're going to take the best elements of 3 (mostly 3), 4, and 5 and blend them together. Did they announce anything else for Fallout 4 DLC? I'm interested to see where else stuff will take place. My friends and I live in the general Boston area and the first (major) DLC took place in Bar Harbor, ME.
As someone who only owns Nintendo products (because lack of money), I can't wait to see what Nintendo brings along with Zelda. I'm always excited on what Nintendo brings every year, even if most people don't like it (i.e. last year).
I have tried and failed several times to one-up my girlfriend when it comes to the new Zelda title so I can joyously break the news to her but she beats me to the punch every time.

So far, yeah. Crash coming back is great, so is seeing Skylanders, God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn and the indie(?) titles they showed in their preshow. Now we have to pray that they won't suck...

...Speaking of not sucking, I hope Nintendo doesn't flub up this E3, it's been a while since they were there in person. I look forward to the new Zelda, but I'd like to see what other games they have on hand. ninty plz show mother 3 you dropped enough hints already

New God of War was really interesting; and of course who can forget Kojima and Death Stranding stealing the show? And a Crash remaster? Holy shit my childhood!

After watching the trailer and currently watching the Treehouse live. I am so excited for the new Zelda game. The environment looks amazing and with all these new features (cooking, multiple weapons, climbing, etc), it's gonna be tough to wait till March 2017.
I'd also love to see what connection the Sheikah has with this game, considering how many references there are (the book Link holds, the shirts Treehouse live representatives are wearing, etc)

I also laughed at shirtless Link. I know a friend who loves Link and going shirtless would be the cherry on top for her.

Post by: Third Eye Lem on June 14, 2016, 10:03:29 PM
I had to go to work, so I only was able to watch the Zelda trailer and the Pokemon Sun/Moon demo. However, what I did see was interesting, I like some of the changes they made to the Pokemon UI (Etrian Odyssey-style stat screens and a Pokeball item shortcut? YES PLZ), and the introduction of some new Com-Mons (Pikipek and Yuugoos). Zelda...It's hard to say, I feel like I missed the meat of the Zelda part of the conference, after I left I heard that they just kept playing Zelda for hours...

And hours...

And hours...

AND HOURS ON END they might as well just post a let's play of the entire game on their channel. :V I'd still play it, I enjoyed the non-linearity of Link Between Worlds, and I'm expecting Breath of the Wild to be in a similar vein.

...On that note, has anyone noticed the sheer saturation of all the Open World games? Watch Dogs 2, Norse God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Days Gone, Dishonored 2 and the updated version of Skyrim (which I remind you all is free on Steam if you already have the Legendary Edition or all three DLC packs), I think we've found a new "hot" genre" for this generation if we haven't already. That being said, Open World games are nice and all, but I'd rather have a more...Cozy experience, I guess you could call it? Not to say I can't enjoy open world games, I just find them a bit overwhelming when I'm offered so much to do, but all I really wanna do is just get to the next quest or destination. Am I wrong for thinking like this?

I definitely do not like open world games as I feel it makes the entire experience shallow.  I get annoyed walking forever between a 5-minutes-of-content set piece to we-need-a-generic-dungeon-here set piece.

I'm very, very picky about my open world experiences.  I don't enjoy 90% of them... but at the same time, Wind Waker was my favourite Zelda experience and it was open world.  Xenoblade X's world is one of my favourite worlds in gaming.  So I remain cautiously optimistic with this case.

I'm hoping the next day or two from Nintendo bring with them more than just the new Zelda game though.  As interested as I am in this, I'm also interested to see what else comes along, and this was only 'day one', so maybe?  It just feels weird not having an actual conference or direct from them.

As for the Nintendo stuff from today, Zelda's looking like loads of fun and I'm glad we got some new Pokemon shown for Sun and Moon.

Maybe if I ever play the like ten games I still need to beat Ill finally play DQ 7 then,  i played some of the original PSX version at a friend's house.

My only regret will be not getting to play with the real spell and skill names as opposed to the modern ones which sound so stupid to me, but I think that's minor so whatever I guess.

Seeing that ESRB logo at the beginning really makes me excited. Fan made game. Released in the West. On a console. Let's all hope this (and the new ULiL) isn't PS4 exclusive and that PC stays a part of this wonderful and beloved franchise that's almost synonymous with it. I don't care if it's a timed-exclusive deal, all I care about is that the circles remember the primary userbase they are targeting. The day doujin circles sign their souls away to publishers that practice the bullshit concept of console exclusivity is the day the Touhou (and doujin) community takes a painful and unforgettable hit.

What's even more disgusting is that those games were developed on PCs, using x86 code and OpenGL graphics routines. Maybe one day there will be emulators that accept game discs and plays them with minimal modifications due to the matching architecture.

The tonal shift here is astounding, lol.

I wouldn't worry too much about anyone signing their souls away, although I'm not sure if these are going to be console exclusive or not. I think that would be more up to the publishers in this case, whether Mediascape or Xseed/NISA.

The original got panned by a bunch of critics when it first came out but apparently this one is a lot better? Admittedly I'm a transient DQ fan at best but so long as they continue localizing them like they did 8 it's all good. Also there is a job system so I must obey. September works for me because I may actually be done with Bravely Second by then and potentially build 3 of 6 in Dark Souls 3 AAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

Sounds like you upgraded from a PSX to a PS2 recently. It's ok, it's never too late to appreciate classic games. I also bought all of the consoles in the order they were released despite getting into gaming late.

I for one am hype. The art style looks adorable, the gameplay seems like something I'd get behind (provided my hands don't cramp up), and the setting and characters as a whole look gorgeous. Definitely going to get this whenever it comes out.

I was sold on it after watching halfway through since the whole oasis building + combat reminded me of Rune Factory (big fan of the RF series). And then once puzzles and boss fights came up, instant first-day buy. Although I do wonder if there's any co-op involved, like Monster Hunter. While I do like the idea of having to switch between allies to tackle the bosses, having friends to fight them makes it even more fun.

Speaking of Nintendo 3DS games, the new Mario Party Star Rush actually looks really good!?  It's drastically different from its predecessors again but it looks to be putting a huge amount of control back in the players' hands (Free movement on a grid!), as well as doing a lot of just general streamlining (Simultaneous turns!) and some interesting mechanics involving collecting other characters to act as allies in minigames apparently (!?!) and other stuff and just... yeah.

I need it.

Giving DQ7 a serious look now that I've had some time to... give it a serious look. Class systems with routes mean party planning and hoo boy if there's anything I enjoy about video games it's planning how I'll play one before I even touch it.
Naw man, me and Reddyne lived that shit. The NES was still the new hotness when we were elementary schoolers.
Yeah I've been playing video games since 1989. I'm not snobby enough to think DOT MATRIX 4 LYFE BRUDDA but really anything that lets the people making the game paint the picture they want to paint is best. The Wii U is not a very powerful system and eye-soaking graphics at a killer resolution with a 5 kilometer draw distance while capturing every last blade of grass waving in the wind all at the same time is optimistically VERY tough to optimize and realistically out of reach.

Everything Konami has done in the last year just makes me think less of them. It's a damn shame because it comes on the heels of MGSV, which is an absolute blast and I've been able to milk it for about 3 times as many hours as I thought I would. But Konami likes money too much now. No more Castlevania. No more Silent Hill. No more Suikoden (was holding out hope for years). They'll never make anything like these ever again and it's a damn shame.

EDIT: Speaking of Castlevania, they had some demos of Bloodstained out there. It looks real sharp. Not gun lie day 1 buy take my money Iga.
