How many people here have tried Dwarf Fortress? I have an afternoon to kill and I feel like I'm finally going to give it a shot.

What's on everyone's E3 wish list?

Red.
Dead.
Redemption.
I'll buy a PS4 sometime this year if they announce it.

If this comes out on PC with an online mode similar to GTA5 online, I may die.

If this becomes a console exclusive just like last time Rockstar are dead to me.

Should have said consoles exclusives, meaning only on consoles.

[ReaperKK]

I want to replay red dead again. It was such a fun game.

[Nick]

Horizon looks absolutely amazing but then again it's a cinematic so not much to say about the gameplay or how it actually will look. I'm not sure why you say it looks dumb, you mean the plot?

Yeah, it's more the plot that makes me question it.

FINAL FANTASY XII REMAKE TO BE RELEASED ON PS4 IN 2017

Holy shit. I may have to get PS4. Typical RPG turn based combat usually bores the shit out of me but I plugged a solid 125 hours into FF12 when I played it because their new (at the time) combat system was outstanding. Also the hunt/bounty system was such a great feature.

Hell yes.  If they include option to play the original license board as well as the new version, I'll die happy.  Although from what I've been reading, that seems unlikely to happen.

The original license board was silly, anyways. I'm excited we get boards based on what we're doing, which makes more sense as upgrades to specific goals as we progress, per character.

[AcidLameLTE]

I'm looking forward to getting to the end of the game, trying to do all the side missions, getting bored and never finishing the game (for the third time).

New video for Mass Effect Andromeda. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2vgHOXeps0&feature=youtu.be&list=PL3a3tkpS9DNRUbHcBYrvv9GKtFlFoSqH7&sf46713463=1

Looks so good! By far my most anticipated game.

Edit: New gameplay trailer for Battlefield 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pY3hlQEOc0&index=1

Looks like this is gonna be my favorite Battlefield game and easily better than the last few CoD entries.

I've never played the Zodiac version but I'm excited to try it.  However I did like the freedom and flexibility granted by the original license board.  It let you develop your characters however you liked rather than pigeonholing them into overly restricted roles which are rigid and cannot be modified.  I do understand the criticism of an endgame of 6 relatively homogeneous killing machines though.  Hopefully the Zodiac job system version is well balanced and optimized!

[orcus116]

Is the license board the skill tree system in FF12?

[Lynxo]

More or less, but you also have to unlock licenses to be able to use certain equipment. You can't just buy a brand new sword and be able to use it right away, you have to have the license as well..

I beat Uncharted 4 twice and got all the treasures and such, so I decided to go back and re-play Uncharted 1 - 3 all the way...

In Uncharted 1, relatively poorer graphic aside, I really don't recall the number of enemies in each stage... I was in Chapter 4 last night, and it seemingly like wave after wave of enemies kept coming in to try and kill me; and there must have been way over 50 of them in Chapter 4 alone!! Plus, it is my first re-play of U1 since 2010 or 2011 I think, I noticed the aiming and weapon reloading systems are just not as smooth as to my liking... I am sure it was ok and cool back in the day though... still trying to enjoy my re-play run, and hopefully I won't get too frustrated by it in latter chapters.

[MrBoom_shack-a-lack]

Have to say i'm pretty impressed with Bethesda and how productive they are. The stream of content for Fallout 4 since launch have been solid even though some are just extra content. They still have been coming with new stuff almost every month.
Then we also have new content for Doom and Fallout Shelter and a remaster of Skyrim to look forward too.
On top of that we have "new" games like Prey, Quake Tournament, Dishonered 2, TES: Legend

Yes they have sub-studios but I find it pretty impressive.

[Lynxo]

They are publisher for a lot of these games though, which means they don't do any developing at all on those titles.

[MrBoom_shack-a-lack]

Yea that's true, I never really thought about the fact that Bethesda only publish games, however Bethesda Game Studios develope games so they do it to some extent both the Fallout and TES series are mainly done by Bethesda.

[Rattlehead]

On the Bloodborne topic, now I just have Orphan of Kos and Mergo's Wet Nurse>Moon Presence (and Chalice stuff) left. I got Orphan of Kos down to low enough that his health bar ended at "Orphan" but god this guy is a motherfucker.

Now I'm using the Whirligig Saw because OF COURSE I AM. I also really like the Rakuyo.

Hardest boss in the game for me I think.  He's so damn aggressive it's hard to find a way to get a hit in most of the time.  Beating him was so exhilarating though, a feeling in gaming that only this series seems to be able to give me anymore.

-J

The Orphan of Kos was a major pain in the ass for me, I struggled with him more than any boss in the entire Souls series (including DS3). I just went back to Dark Souls 1 and got the Platinum trophy, it was pretty rewarding. I tend to stick with melee builds in the Souls series, but I started a Sorcerer build from scratch and was surprised at how much easier the game was for me. Some of the bosses I was able to just blow up from far away without even getting touched. I'm going back to Demon's Souls next for the Platinum.

Resident Evil 7 looks sick

[adace]

Resident Evil 7 looks sick

Sure does. As much as I like the last few RE games they didn't feel that much like a real edge-of-your-seat horror game. This one does though. Can't wait to try the demo.

And like last year's E3, Sony won the show. God of War 4, RE 7, remastered Crash Bandicoot, new Spiderman, Detroit, Horizon Zero Dawn, Days Gone...all incredible stuff.

The new Call of Duty looks surprisingly good. Still more excited for Battlefield 1 but this definitely seems like it's worth playing.

I'm really confused by Kojima's new game though. I seriously have no idea what it's about.

Also, I seriously do not feel like spending $400 for the PS VR headset after spending almost that much for the PS4 itself. Same goes for the PS4 Neo, XB1 slim and Project Scorpio.

Very much looking forward to seeing Zelda and the NX tomorrow.

[Genowyn]

Standalone Gwent yaaaaaasssss

Best part of Witcher 3.

Still want physical cards.

[Chino]

I think $400 for PS-VR is completely fair. Even with the cost of the cameras for motion tracking and the PS4 itself, you still come in less than what just the computer to run a Vive or a Rift would cost.

[cramx3]

Same goes for the PS4 Neo, XB1 slim and Project Scorpio.

I think I may officially be done with buying consoles.  My xbox1 collects dust.  Finally disconnected the TV cable from it so I can just leave it off now.  This new wave of console announcements which aren't even true new consoles, just better versions of what's already released just makes me sick to think of buying one.  I'll keep gaming on my PC. 

[FlyingBIZKIT]

I wish I could get into PC gaming, but I just can't. I love to sit back on my couch and turn on a console and play with a nice PS4 controller. The whole performance aspect doesn't bother me to be honest, as long as a game runs fine and I have fun with it, that's all that matters to me. In fact, my laptop is one I purchased right when I graduated highschool, great specs and everything, doesn't get used for gaming at all. The game I've played most on it was Team Fortress 2 and you don't need a $1000 computer to run that. 

[cramx3]

Yea, my post was not to say console gaming is bad per se, but I think the whole upgraded console thing leaves a sour taste in my mouth and I was already moving strictly to the PC for gaming and now I just see a  point of no return.

As for the controller and TF2, I play Overwatch with my xbox1 controller on my PC and could play from my couch if I wanted.  So it's not far from being able to act like a console now (just more expensive and physically larger).

[wizard of Thought]

So, Zelda: Breath of the Wild easily won E3 for me today. Amazing first impression and I honestly cannot wait anymore to ride through the fields of Hyrule!

However, tomorrow will be the Persona 5 livestream, so there probably will be another contender for my personal game of the E3.

Yes, it definitely looks incredible. Day one buy for me.

The upgraded consoles are showing their full computer/PC hand at this point, which is unfortunate. The line that separated the two from each other (fixed hardware) is now disappearing. I may be too far on the sidelines, but when did PCs carve out a huge chunk of Sony and Microsoft? Is the pressure from developers to have the horsepower closer to what they are designing on their ultra-computers too much?

On a tangent, there is the eventual future of streaming games from ultra-super-duper servers that do all the processing and rendering that will render this moot mostly. So I do not understand why Msoft and Sony are now creating intermediate consoles, considering the future it will not be fully relevant.

Also, to me the Indie game scene seems to slowly be gathering steam. In addition, the AAA games and their developers I feel are on increasingly unstable ground.

[Progmetty]

When is E3 over? I can't remember how long it usually lasts.

[Progmetty]

Watching E3 live on PS3 live events app, it's free.
Dishonored 2 looks awful, more first person bull shit.

[ReaperKK]

My girlfriend and started and finished Firewatch yesterday. If anyone here is a fan of first person adventures, play it! It's an amazing game.

[Chino]

Has anyone played a game called Gone Home?
