Darksiders 2

Ugh. That's not death, that's that bloke from the Legacy's of Kaine with a mask.
Seriously, this is why I hate games that take mythology as a base. They get it wrong, and every figure in there is transformed into a hyper muscled titan (if a man), a Lolo Ferrari look-alike (if female) or something with the waist of an anorexic wanna-be model and an inverted pyramid for a mask, if undead/ dead/ evil/ Death.

This, Death just looks terrible.

Also, I was hoping that it would continue on from Darksiders 1 and that awesome ending, but apparently it isn't.

[Aptorian]

I would like to point out that you're not actually seeing the Biblical Death. You're seeing a warrior who is the avatar of death making out some kind of order of the apocalypse.

This is not the biblical apocalypse. It's a bunch of cartoon angels and demons having a fight over who's the best.

Speaking of which, can Crystal Dynamics get off their ass, stop remaking Tomb raider and make a new LoK game already?

At Konami's pre-E3 press conference, they "teased" a new Contra game.

You know it's an intelligent game when they think it's cool for a character to shout "Wrist Strike!" while doing a stabby move I can only assume is a wrist strike.

[Gothos]

I liked the Darksiders II trailer. As for not continuing War's story, that's pretty obvious, and stated numerous times since Darksiders' release. What I'm hoping for is them making Death play differently than War. Also, it would be nice if it was a bit more ambitious than another Zelda reskin.

As a final word, WTB new Legacy of Kain game.

I think The Old Republic is going to be so mediochre and awkward that it will make the new episodes look brilliant.

Making the new episodes look brilliant is impossible in any realm; there's just too much crap, gathered like moss, all over those movies. It's just not gonna happen.
Anyways, I'm definitely cautiously optimistic about TOR. If nothing else, I'll probably enjoy the single player aspects of it, like the class stories and whatnot, but, as has become increasingly prevalent in the last few years, struggle with the mindless retards whose numbers appear to be legion. We'll see what happens.

[Gothos]

I must say two things watching Microsoft's presentation:

Ryse looks interesting at least.

Fable The Journey or whatever's the name seems like it has a very fun magic system. Looks like someone played Magicka a lot

[krishian]

Anyone watching the Microsoft conference? After this PC gamers can really make fun out of console gamers, and no one can say anything about it... *sigh*

What "game" did Kinect change, exactly?

[Gothos]

That's marketing, though I have to say some of the upcoming games really make me changy my mind about Kinect. I'm totally not digging Kinect implementation in Mass Effect 3 though - is THAT why my game's delayed? Fuck you!


Skyrim footage: looks incredible, if somewhat more action-oriented than I'd expect from Elder Scrolls. Also the guy only mentioning three factions makes me a sad panda.
I also really hope that radiant thingy will work. I'd rather be able to silence all witnessess. I'd also like to know more about the stealthing, as it'll probably be the most fun playthrough for me (WTB THIEF 4 NAO)

[krishian]

Yeah, I know, that was just my hate of Kinect coming through. And I get that they have to force it, after spending so much on it, but everything I've seen of Kinect so far, has been terrible. That Star Wars demo...

Arkham City looks great, can't wait for October.
Skyrim look pretty sweet, too, but Elder Scrolls games aren't my thing. Oh, and "Here we see the undead who live in these ruins." was pretty cool...

I just saw a guy dressed in a energy drink costume have balls pistol whipped in Saints Row: The Third. I think I want this game.

[Gothos]

More Mass Effect 3 - and it was epic, if short.
The new Need For Speed looks FUCKING INTENSE.
Even that snowboard thingy looks very nice.


they totally blew it with The Old Republic - just recut the existing trailers into one new trailer. No wonder, I doubt MMO gameplay would be exactly 'thrilling'.

Y'know, despite knowing I'll see all the flaws in yet another 1-vs-1 fighting game, despite the crappy story, the weird animations, the endless juggling wars and my inability to play a console game for 15 minutes or longer, I will probably buy this. Not because it is good, great, believable or weapons or the costumes make sense (apparently, if you wear a breastplate the size and shape of a bikini and are otherwise naked, you are still protected against a blade to the stomach if you're female), but because it is shiny. And then I'll regret the 59,- price tag and forget about turning it in.

Ryse looks cool, for the gaming revolution aka failed experiment called motion tracking. Only, someone needs to go and tell those dickwads that designed it that Rome was historically NOT a kingdom apart from its mythical past. Clunges. Read the fucking Oxford Encyclopedia of Ancient History of Greece & Rome, entry Rome. Available online. Clunges.

I don't think words can sum up this year's E3 for me.

[Mentalist]

read the liveblog on Microsoft's presentation from RockPaperShotgun--a site devoted exclusively to PC gaming.
aside from Skyrim, they were struggling to find stuff worth writing about.

[Cause]

This years E3 is pretty underwhelming.

We have the NGP- http://tinyurl.com/65medxz
A PS3 Branded 3D monitor- http://tinyurl.com/62q932u

and various games we have been excited for ,or not, for over a year!

This year is glorious for games - it's not so much for E3, insofar as we already know most of the big titles landing this year and early next.

I called it.

Ghost Recon getting shelved and restarted from the ground up is interesting, but doesn't really affect me. Especially seeing as people are apparently still complaining despite the changes (some saying it was better before....unpleaseable, much?) and it wont' be released until next year anyway.

Far Cry 3 is interesting...not buying the "character development is important" crap. Too much hype, not enough likelihood of truth. Characters in games are difficult to do, and just giving them good dialogue and decent motivations is not enough to make them 'good' characters.

What else....Skryim looking more and more action-y. But I guess that's to be expected. Moderately underwhelmed by the animation improvements. They're a lot better than Oblivion's, but they still look a tad awkward by modern standards. I'll live. XD

Battlefield 3 so far? Kicking the ever-loving-hell out of Modern Warfare 3. And 'Call of Duty: Elite'. EA/DICE are going all out on this one, and it seems to be reflected in the game. Probably the best thing at the show, right now.
