Obligatory E3 Thread

by

E3 is in session, and already I’ve seen some cool games and concepts that I’m already looking forward to getting my hands on. I’ve decided to compile a list from today’s findings. featuring flashy trailers!

Having played The New Order and Colossus I was filled with extreme hype when I saw them mention Wolfenstein: Youngblood. It features what I’m guessing are the daughters of B.J Blaskowitz, two specifically to represent a coop mode. My only concern being if it’ll be coop only or if it’ll feature a single player campaign like all the other games. I’d also like the idea of a local coop, for playing with someone on the couch. 😛 As another small note I wonder how long it’ll take before someone gets their knickers in a twist over these two characters for having knickers.

Skyrim is one of the most ported games in existence. You can play it on XBox360, PS3, PC Thrice, XBoxOne, PS4, Nintendo Switch, and now Amazon Alexa. No word for how mod support will be rolled out, but I imagine telling Alexa to buy things over Creation Club should be easy peasy.

Available right now for free, some fun looking DLC for Prey that rolls out three new modes: Story Mode, New Game+ Mode, and Survival Mode which looks like it has some elements of Prop Hunt in it. Looks like it could be fun, I’ve been meaning to get back into Prey… Curse my many distractions. :v:

I loved DOOM2016, and when they announced they were going to make a sequel I was pretty hyped. The trailer seems to be set in what I think might be New Jersey. :trollface:

Then there’s Fallout 76. This one I have mixed feelings about; mainly due to the online play. I’m wondering if it will be mainly PvP, or if it will let you just play PvE with friends. They show quite a bit of gameplay, and it does look like fun. But it also looks like it could be a big trollfest if not executed properly.

Then after watching Bethesda’s presentation I ventured to my RSS feeds and found this potential cherry waiting to be plucked:

A new Devil May Cry game, something I’ve been anticipating for awhile now. It follows Dante and Nero, ready to kick all kinds of demon ass with some new friends and even new equipment. I can’t say I like Nero’s Justin Bieber look (I almost mistook him for DmC Dante), but Dante looked pretty swank with facial hair. Though looks aside the gameplay looks like it’ll be hella fun. I can’t wait to fuck some shit up with the mechanical arm.

This is another one I have mixed feelings about. While I had fun playing Tomb Raider, and Rise Of The Tomb Raider, it still didn’t feel like a Tomb Raider game to me… maybe more like Skyrim meets Tomb Raider. They do say though that this will be the game where she becomes the legendary badass heroine she is known the world over for. As usual the graphics do easily impress, and the gameplay looks more or less like the previous two games. I do look forward to it, I just hope for a less whiny Lara this time around. I forgave it in the reboot since this was supposed to be her origin story, but in ROTT there were certain points where it was too annoying for me. Also, Microsoft had better not pull that timed exclusive bullshit again. It didn’t make sense to do that with a game that has been on multiple platforms since the dawn of fucking time. :zorak:

Then of course the lovely Ori is back in Ori and the will of the wisps. Much like its predecessor it features the same graphics with some newer tweaks, and looks to have the same emotional pull as the first game.

Anyone else having fun watching E3?

A Zen Game For a Zen Day

by

I thought long and hard (uhuhhuh) this evening about what game to play, the same ol same ol or something different? I thought I would give the remastering of ÅŒkami a go, and I regret nothing.

Bringing talking out your ass to a whole new level.

I remember hearing about ÅŒkami a long time ago, when G4 (channel for the latest in gaming, technology, and depending on what time of the night showed awkward animes and porn gadgets) was showcasing this title, and I thought the style and gameplay looked cool. I thought the concept of being an ethereal wolf who defeats their enemies and solves puzzles relying mainly on paintbrush strokes (and pissing apparently?) was intriguing. But alas, the game was primarily for the PS2 nullifying my desire to get in on the action.

Years later I contemplated getting my hands on a rom for it to try in an emulator (this was before acquiring the $10 PS3 mind you), and behold! An announcement was made for a PC port. Now I can play it on my main platform, be able to take it anywhere I go, and use it with any controller or the ol keyboard and mouse setup. I even thought it was nice of Capcom to include an official Steam Controller config for the game, I can tell they took some time to set it up, though me being me I had to configure it my own way. :trollface: Still, a really nice touch on their behalf. They’ve come a long way on the PC side of things. I can almost forgive them for their shitty DMC3 port… almost. :zorak:

I’d have to say the only complaint I have is the long cutscenes in the beginning, and the voices of the characters in the game are out of a fever induced BanjoKazooie nightmare. But everything else is golden. The fighting style is really different, just painting your enemies to death. Interacting with elements of the game with brushstrokes, and of course making the world a beautiful place once again after being drenched in darkness by a 5 headed cockdragon :morty: . I may of had to wait longer than everyone else on PS2, but at least I can enjoy it in my own way. :melon:

Spain is looking rather sepia this time of year.

by

After a couple days of dabbling with console emulators I’ve decided to return to a console port… I will say that I like Resident Evil 4, but the controls take some getting used to. Moving the mouse doesn’t turn your character in any particular direction, you have to use WASD at all times to move a certain way… It took a couple deaths for me to really get used to moving around like that, you definitely don’t want to stand in one spot while zombies try to tear you apart with explosions and pitchforks.

The game centers around Leon Kennedy, he’s like Dante from Devil May Cry minus the personality, demon/angel powers and sharp objects… Actually he’s not like Dante at all, he just looks like a less albino version of him.

That’s the RE6 version of him, but my point still stands. He’s fabulous.

Leon is a government agent tasked with rescuing the US president’s daughter, and the path left him to a part of Spain that suffers from a plague of depressing sepia.

I haven’t found her yet, but I’ve found plenty of other interesting things. In the RE games it’s important to observe your surroundings for clues, you don’t want to miss out on anything stating the obvious!

Of course you have Leon… You’ve passed it like 12 fucking times so far.
Someone needed to feed their pet maggots.
I would too, looking up and seeing Palpatine on the wall would make anyone stain their sheets.
Yes, I’ve decided that’s Palpatine.
I’ve yet to find the chicken laying these things.

I just made it passed the point where I met a mysterious fabulous Spanish dude named Luis Sera. He was bound in a closet, then we were bound together. The locals haven’t been friendly, but one thing is clear… They’re into bondage. We managed to escape a local that had an axe to grind with us. I’m now at the point where I met this charming fellow:

From what I can tell he’s the local drug dealer, but he’s out of the usual stuff and has weapons/weapon upgrades instead. Weird controls aside, I think I like this game. I’m glad I have this version and not the first release. I haven’t looked into it but have heard it was a terrible port, if it’s anything like the DMC3 port for PC I may have dodged a bullet.
