I can also vouch for getting a Switch thanks to nowinstock.com. Got one a few weeks ago from Amazon and I'm in love with it personally. It's just like my Vita but better. I haven't even set up the dock yet because I'd rather have it as a handheld.

That Pokemon Direct was pretty troll city. It almost seemed like they were embarrassed about Ultra Sun and Moon the way they went about it there. And I didn't watch the Direct for 6 minutes of Pokken
-_-
I'll probably still get USM because I looooove Alola and am part of the problem but I can't blame anyone for skipping it, there are many valid reasons to.

I'm going to wait until it's back down to $299.99, sadly a relative got me zelda botw for switch but I won't be able to play it until probably 6 months to a year from now... When nintendo finally gets it « Cow Poopoo » together and stops pulling the same stunt as they did with the amiibo's, freaking vipers are charging a ton for a console that shouldn't even be having this problem...

Anyway I'm predominantly looking forward to bethesda, sony, and nintendo direct, hopefully some good things will be announced.

Yaaay, E3 is almost here. Can't wait to see what's announced/shown (I'm hoping we get some good things for the Switch.)
Like every year, I'm mainly looking forward to Sony's and Nintendo's press conferences.

So far, some pretty interesting stuff has been revealed. The Switch version of Skyrim has amiibo support and motion controls, so that's pretty cool. New Assassin's Creed looks nice, but samey as ever and Code Vein looks like an edgy anime Dark Souls.

Can't wait for tomorrow for that sweet, sweet Nintendo presentation.

So far I'm looking forward to Life is Strange Before the Storm, the new Ori game, and Cuphead (preordered!). Can't wait for Sony's conference tonight and maybe Ubisofts.

Well Bethesda was a bust IMO. Not sure why they even showed up.

Did anyone watch the Devolver conference? It was some pretty amazing satire. I like how they paid for an E3 timeslot just to make a parody E3 conference with 2 games.

They're still streaming, too. Apparently they plan on doing this for a total of 12 hours? They're a little over halfway through in that case. I haven't watched the whole stream but some highlights of what I did see:

- They played a video of the Heavy Rain Shaun glitch
- They played the DOOM mod where every sound effect is the Tim Allen grunt

Even with context this is weird:

Yup, I came to post about the same thing. For anyone who missed the conference, it's a must watch. It satirizes E3 perfectly.

Not into much of what was shown other than LiS. Mainly waiting for Sony and Nintendo though so I'm sure I'll change my mind after their conferences.

The Devolver stream was wild, no idea what I was watching during most of it. Friends and I lost it when they started showing the Heavy Rain Shaun glitch and Ninja Slayer.

I always rely on Ubisoft to bring the maximum cringe. Don't fail me now guys

Anyone remember the 2010 laser tag segment? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vizBWaNdSgQ

I missed Devolver live but watched a recap, and holy « Cow Poopoo » that was incredible, lol

It's like they just wanted to make the best live shitpost ever, and did.

Holy « Puppy Doodoo » it is.

I've known about the game for a few weeks now as it leaked, but I didn't expect this zany thing to be an XCOM-like game.

It just went from a 'meh' to a must buy.

It's even coming out the same day as XCOM 2's expansion, lol. Incredible

Yeah I thought it was going to be some weird arena shooter type game so I was pleasantly surprised!

Few hours until Sony! Excited to see what they have in store.

Edit: Wow that was...underwhelming. Yikes. Not really interested in anything but Detroit.
