New Wolfenstein looking good, as does that Dragon Ball fighting game (even though I don't care about DB).

Anthem looks pretty blah though.

I will be getting the Xbox One X day one if possible. Games wise, Metro intrigued me the most.

I'm very skeptical that the XB1X will be able to handle 4K as easily as they're letting on. I mean, this last gen was supposed to render 1080P at 60fps, and even now, several years after release, that's still not happening anywhere near to the extent assumed.

So Ubisoft showed an honest to god trailer for Beyond Good & Evil 2. Hope it actually comes to fruition and makes some people happy. I never understood what people saw in the first one.

I am losing my shit over Monster Hunter on PC. Fuck yes. Do not need Dauntless anymore. That game just got buried.  :lol :metal :corn

Pretty interesting E3 from the big boys overall. I am really wanting to get both a PS4 and Switch now. Past few years I've been totally and completely content being a PC only gamer but now that's starting to fade.

Since I know nothing of what you serious gamers are talking about, here's a post about Super Mario Odyssey!

Super mario odyssey looks awesome, can't wait to play it

Can't wait to see more about metroid prime 4 (very excited for that)

Xenoblade 2 looks great.

I'll probably pick up rocket league and skyrim for switch as well.

This exactly. In my mind I just bought a Switch. Now I need to go out and actually do it...maybe tonight. Probably tonight. Or tomorrow at the latest.

Cause with that, the announcement that Pokemon is getting a main entry on it...the Switch is about to go back out of stock real soon.

I have no interest in Metroid, but that's great news for fans who have been waiting forever for another game. Mario Odyssey looks like a lot of fun!

I told myself that the only way i could consider buying a switch, would be if they somehow made Metroid Prime 4...

I still don't know if i should get a console just for one game, but if Prime 4 turns out to be incerdible that could be it for me.

I'm not 100% on this, but IMO Metroid Prime could be the best game ever made. Echoes and Corruption are awesome as well!

I haven't bought a console since the Gamecube, which I bought used. I got a Wii as a gift. My time is just spread too thin between work, parenting, and PC gaming to get much use out of a console. But Possibly the best Zelda game ever, a promising Mario game, and Metroid Prime 4 are making the Switch very appealing. Retro isn't doing MP4, I haven't seen who is. They did such an amazing job with the Prime series.

At $5, absolutely. At $500, no. I think you'll need to give a bit more info. :lol

I really wish Bethesda said they had a VR version of Skyrim in the works. I really want to get it, but I've already played the original and the remaster to large extents. It's not even having to buy the game a third time, it's having to reinvest that time again. It'd be awesome if the VR portion was a downloadable add on that allowed me to continue my current game.

I can't wait for NFS: Payback and CoD: WWII this November.  Actually, I haven't played my PS4 in several days.  I'm really enjoying the older NFS games on PS2.  Underground, Underground 2, Most Wanted are my favorites.  Yeah, the graphics aren't great compared to PS4, but I like the racing controls better than PS4 versions of NFS.

But in other news, I finally got Persona 5

 


I am loving it. For anyone that likes RPGs like final fantasy, or chrono trigger or xenoblade, this is basically what it is, but you are a japanese high school student and it gets wrapped up in all that drama. But there's also monsters and demons to fight. Its offbeat, quirky and crazy and there's nothing quite like it

Yeah, this is going down as one of my favourite games of all time, easily.

Words have not been invented to describe how rad Persona 5 really is. I got it for my PS3 and have been having a blast with it (got a little frustrated earlier but the game still kicks ass). Just taking things slow but I lose all track of time if I sit down to play.

Oh, and Steam sale until 5 July. Hide those wallets if you don't want to break the bank! :laugh:

So, Steam Summer Sale is on.

Already picked up Dishonored (£1.99) and Shadow of Mordor GOTY (£3.19). Not bad.

Im right near the end of this now, the story is great but I felt the game design suffered a bit in the later half, mostly in some weaker dungeon designs & kind of bad boss fights

Got quite a bunch of little games:

Uplink
Year Walk
Hexcells (and after an hour of playing, got Hexcells Plus and Infinite too  ;D )
The Beginner's Guide
Half-Life 2, and Episode One and Two

In other news, I'm halfway through Mother 3 and it's been a blast so far, loving it.

Get UplinkOS, which is a MAYOR graphical improvement of the original. Here's a video of the original devs trying that mod, and it looks gorgeous.

Finally caved into the first round of the sales and got Hollow Knight, which I'm fairly certain I'm already addicted to... Psychonauts, which is just going to be a huge nostalgia trip for a bit and I'll probably never play it again... Stardew Valley, again, pretty sure I'm already addicted... and Dishonored 2, which is going to be a future proofing game considering I've yet to finish the original and wanted to wait till they got their shit together with this one, and judging by reviews and comments it seems they have.

I'm sure I'll get a few more before it's over but I'm definitely not going to go as crazy as I did last year. Not only because I just don't have the time I used it but also because I still have about twenty or so games I haven't played more than five minutes of.
