The only pretty thing I found interesting was the pirate thing and they’re probably too cowardly to scale it down for the Switch

idg the Andrew WK thing. seems like people trying to make a meme out of nothing. i saw the video. there were people smiling and stuff. yes everybody is sitting down because this is a multi hour long stageshow about videogames.
i expected the video to show everybody looking at their phones. they are at least watching him perform. imo the band brought their A game and not holding back but the audio mix is kind of shitty tbh.
what is the cringe here, are we supposed to feel embarrassed for the audience? i guess you can't report an event nowadays without some kind of Schadenfreude slant to it. we have to feel superior to somebody with each piece of news.

Watching The Last of Us 2 gameplay, I’m impressed that games can do all this stuff, but stuff like this still doesn’t resemble anything I want to play

a bit underwhelming this year, feels like there were no really big announcements, just trailers for already revealed stuff. wonder if studios are already transitioning to next gen development?

Shadows Die Twice looks really cool. Death Stranding as well. so nice to have gameplay footage of both!

still not convinced that death stranding is a real game and not just kojima messing around making trailers

If that's the case I'll watch the eventual blu-ray collection.

i liked how the death stranding trailer was just showing off the movement animations

It would be great if Death Stranding has no combat and is just Norman Reedus making deliveries and hiding from ghosts

because he won't buy a PS4?
― Nhex, Tuesday, 12 June 2018 08:16 (five years ago) link
No joke, depending on how things go today that may decide it for me! Given how inexpensive a used or refurbished PS4 slim is, and given that the games can be $30 or $40 cheaper for big titles, I could save money by spending money. I'd buy it for the Souls and Bloodbourne stuff alone. Obviously I'd keep the Switch though, because there are all those games I haven't played and my kids like it. Another major factor for me is that I rarely play the switch in portable mode, so I am basically hurting my gaming experience for no reason. Also, with stuff like Fortnite and Animal Crossing on the horizon, a second console might give me something to do when the kids commandeer the Nintendo.

My E3 report:
Cyberpunk 2077Ever Scrolls 6Death Stranding
I wouldn’t be surprised if all three weren’t released on this generation of consoles. 😳
I expect that I’ll need to update this after today’s Nintendo direct.
― Allen (etaeoe), Tuesday, 12 June 2018 13:00 (five years ago) link
cyberpunk looks like its gonna be a 2020 release imo regardless of generation. don't really see anything in that trailer that isn't doable right now
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 12 June 2018 13:15 (five years ago) link
im pretty excited for Death Stranding now that i've seen some gameplay (pretty sure all the walky bits are gameplay). yay a game trailer with no guns and no shooting! that world looks incredible. i'd definitely down for some weird sci fi where all you do is explore and see weird stuff if that's what it is.
― Hazy Maze Cave (Adam Bruneau), Tuesday, 12 June 2018 13:25 (five years ago) link
don't have massive expectations for nintendo in terms of big surprises, i think the general theme will be games we already know about but haven't seen yet.
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 12 June 2018 13:26 (five years ago) link
I think "when" will be very important for Nintendo/me. There are lots of games we already (think we) know about but we still have no idea when they're arriving. Stuff like Metroid and Yoshi or whatever - Hollow Knight - they've been teasing for months. And stuff like Dark Souls, that featured big in the last Direct - it was the finale iirc - but since getting delayed two months ago and missing a perfectly placed May released date, there have literally been no updates.
I watched that grim Last of Us 2 gameplay and was sort of captivated (extreme violence aside). I have no idea how the mechanics of something like that even works, and the AI interaction was uncanny. Like, you sneak up somewhere and hide in some bushes, then baddies in the background hustle over and talk about how they just saw someone right around here but they must be hiding, then divide up to find you. Or you rush through a scene and fluidly grab a bottle and throw it at someone while running. It was like watching someone play a cut-scene, which is to say, like playing an interactive movie. Which was pretty neat. Maybe all big games like this are like that, I have no idea.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 12 June 2018 13:33 (five years ago) link
i forgot where i heard it, Super Bunnyhop or somewhere, where someone explained that triangulating a single point in space is the most efficient thing you can do with 3D computing. lining up crosshairs with a target is the basis of pretty much all 3D gaming. it just happens that shooting a gun is a real world analogy to that simple act of computation (which you can design an entire game around, just ask 19th century carnival workers).
plus society is entirely violence and pro-gun, tv shows and movies glorify guns, the new/old media promotes the most shockingly violent stories. even at its most divided the US govt has never had trouble jointing reaching into the piggy bank for larger and larger budgets to buy bigger and more sophisticated weapons (that actually kill real people in real life). reality is violent therefore media is violent. sometimes people mistakenly think it is the other way around.
― Hazy Maze Cave (Adam Bruneau), Monday, 18 June 2018 16:36 (five years ago) link
Yeah tbh I think I'm a lot more comfortable with shooting for fun as a UK resident than I'd be if anyone here actually had guns for real.
― JimD, Monday, 18 June 2018 16:39 (five years ago) link
Which isn't justified at all but yeah.
triangulating a single point in space is the most efficient thing you can do with 3D computing
Eh, I think shooting at things is just the laziest way for these designers to craft something with minimal world building and story telling.

do you think it matters if you are shooting monsters versus people?
― calstars, Monday, 18 June 2018 17:29 (five years ago) link
I hardly consider myself a sophisticated or self-aware gamer (I barely consider myself a gamer at all!), yet I'm deeply anti-gun IRL but have little problem playing games where you shoot people.
Anyway, I do think that even if the enemies are monsters, that greases the wheel to
