E3 2018 - Ushi's 6th Annual Information & Discussion Thread

[Panda Parfait]

I'll be super into Fallout 76 if PVP is completely avoidable. I love the idea of co-op survival Fallout but randoms who can come ruin my day, ehh....

It's cool that Starfield was confirmed as a real thing but man that was a whole lotta nothing, I didn't think it would be so far out that they could only show a logo.

Dat cliffhanger though. Can't wait for Robo Nina Struthers for next year's E3 conference lol

Right!? No wonder they told people to watch Robocop. Also it doesn't have the shock value from last year but the "audience" footage was great.

Devolver Digital's conference made me laugh so hard. The Lootbox Coin thing slayed me. Can't wait to see next year's. It'll be a riot that's for sure.

Bethesda had a rough start with the Andrew WK thing, but I was into it. When companies just do something goofy I tend to enjoy it more than the straight press conference. It's also why I like Nintendo Directs because they cut out most of the talking stuff and save it for Treehouse Live. Bethesda acknowledging the Skyrim meme was amazing. I'm hype for Elder Scrolls VI and I can't wait to see how many people screw each other over in Fallout 76.

I don't know about the new Fallout. It looks really great but I really can't see it being anything more than a constant murder fest. I just want to play video games without having to deal with mean real life turds in it. Guess we will learn more as time goes by.

Excited for Starfield and a new Elder Scrolls! I know they only showed titles there and not much else but still stoked to even have that as information at this point.

Yessss the gif skit got me so good lol

Only 13 hours until Square Enix's conference tomorrow! Another full day of conferences :D

Heyo guys! I'm popping in after spending Microsoft's conference with some friends and watching Bethesda's after work. Microsoft KILLED it; it was so good, the best one from them I've seen in years. Bethesda was okay but still better than EA.

I've decided to cancel my preorder of Fallout 76, for now anyway. I'm not fully interested in an online Fallout, and if I do change my mind and get it down the road I'll get it for PC instead of PS4 like I originally planned. I guess I'll wait for that Fallout 5 announcement and more information from Elder Scrolls VI and Starfield. I'm not even that big of a Bethesda fan; Fallout 4 was probably the first game I got myself and beat it. I own Oblivion, Fallout 3, and New Vegas (I know it's by Obsidian, but still), but they don't really draw me in like how Fallout 4 did.

So far, this is what I'm definitely getting:

The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit (Set in the Life is Strange world, FREE, and the choices in the game carry over to Life is Strange 2? Yes please!)
Cyberpunk 2077 (It looks fantastic with the trailer alone; I must have more information on it!)
Tales of Vesperia (Switch! And it's the last 360 game I needed to get either on Xbox One as backwards compatible or the rumored enhance edition on another platform)
Tunic (It's so cute!)
Ori and the Will of the Wisps (Also so cute!)
Cuphead DLC (Need to beat the base game first though)

Can't wait for the other conferences!

Not sure what to think about Fallout 76. On one hand, i feel like its probably a good setting for that kind of game and it CAN be fun. But with my observation from some online survival games, other players can easily curbstomp any enjoyment you may get from it.

But the way its expressed/talked about online seems the consequences are far less harsher...so...i will wait and see.

[Bluie]

One nice thing for me that comes with E3: Projared starts uploading videos again. I missed you, bruh.

I'm interested in SE's conference, buuut i'll probably be at work when it airs. Guess i'll catch the highlights when I get home. I MADE SURE I have Tuesday off because Nintendo's is like my mini Christmas. I can't wait for tomorrow.

[Kikki]

This year so far, they seem to want to shove multiplayer (and the need to be constantly online) down our throats. :/ I'm 100% solo, and needing to have a constant internet connection is an irritation, so it's a trend that makes me uncomfortable. Though if any of you guys are into it, congrats on your good luck having the trends match what you like, this time around (It's always nice when that happens...everyone should get a turn at it!)

I'm going to the chiro to get my head straightened out (kinda literally!) and then hope the dentist appt later on today doesn't undo any good the chiro managed to do...then assuming I can still hold my head up, I'll be checking in to see what's up with all the potentially awesome announcements that may be out, today...we're now into the companies I actually follow.

Good luck getting some good news today, everybody I'll be hoping for glimpses of games like Dragon Quest Builders 2, Dragon Quest XI and Ooblets...and 505 games will also be at the PC Gaming show, so maybe a peek of Re: Legend? Maybe? But mostly today I expect I'll see a bunch of new things I knew nothing about before, which may be fun, too.

[Celestrian]

I'll watch whatever's on today if my brother is watching it but tomorrow is where it gets real for me. Even better, this is going to be on my birthday! I'm getting it ALL on my birthday and I'm excited! Regardless of what Nintendo shows, I'm sure I'll be happy with it.

I'm mildly interested in Sony too but since I can only afford to save up on Nintendo's consoles for now, they are my main focus.

This is exactly how I feel about it. On one hand, it sounds like a great Fallout premise after 4. On the other, it's always online and the enjoyment can be ruined by other people.

Edit: well that was short lol. Pretty much saw everything at Microsoft's yesterday. Great DQ11 trailer though!

[Kikki]

Well, that was quite entertaining. Happy to see a new trailer for DQXI, and a little bit interested in Fall of Babylon...enough to want to check it out again next year. (The way it supposedly starts reminds me of the two titans in Xenoblade Chronicles.) The art of most of what I saw was gorgeous, but I just don't like hyper-realistic character art and I'm no good with games where what you're running around killing are humans rather than monsters.

So, no DQB2, but that was pretty iffy anyway. At least now I have another good trailer to show friends who are still on the fence about DQXI

[Mikodesu]

^ I think I'm pretty much a ditto.

Dragon Quest is really one of those series I've wanted to get into for a long time and DQXI looks good! I was oddly getting more Dark Souls vibes from the Fall of Babylon trailer, but the premise looks cool. (Edit: Yep, confirmation that it's Platinum making Fall of Babylon. That will make for interesting combat. Has Platinum ever done a high fantasy game before??)

I'm surprised that Square didn't have an actual conference considering they've FINALLY nailed KH3 down? Ah, well. It'll sell great no matter what.

That was...short, Squeenix. 30 minutes???
