Babylon falls by Platinum games? This looks note worthy. Though they didn't really reveal what kind if game it is I imagine it must be a kind of fightibgvgame given platinum pedigree.

[Aptorian]

I really want to be excited by Just Cause 4 but 3 looked great as well. And then you started playing it.

[Aptorian]

The fuck is The Quiet Man? A super hero game maybe?

[Mentalist]

-ooh, are we gonna get to see Tomb raider gameplay now?

-hmm, maybe not

-or maybe yes? Lara is Batman now. Except with killing. Stealth is worth 10 extra XP
-also, that UI font looks like Witcher 2
-ooh, wall-running and swimming- that's pretty cool.

Now, for an MMO update

Okay, why is Monster GHunter here? isn't that Capcom? oh, more MMO

Now it's the Dontnod free thing - the LiS 2 prequel
-hmm, the kid has an S on his cape. I think this was leaked as proof of the Superman game. That makes me lol.


I have no idea what this JRPG is... coloured dragonballs?
-Oh DargonQuest. That was part of the Walmart leak, I think

\
0ooh, Babylon's Fall Platinum games title! me want! YES! it's on Steam! I want that lore. Loads and loads of lore.

Hmm, hey Square. How about porting the 1st Nier on Steam? you know we'll pay money for that....

Okay, that Switch exclusive. We knew about that.

And we're back to blowing stuff up. In South America again.

Tornados- this is building on Mad Max's storms, right?

Lol, Bulldozers and wrecking balls. I want to play a disgruntled construction worker who's just had enough

"physicalized".. it that a word? Google sez no.

is this FF7? looks like it...
OR... sometign brand new. Yay, another IP coming to Steam.

Okay, unless someone puts the original Kingdom Hearts on PC, I won't even try to pretend to care about this series.
-I think it's the same trailer as Xbox? that feels... redundant?

That.. can't be it.

Where's the Avengers?

They DID tell us to wait to the end...

[Mentalist]

Is this like one of those Marvel things where you watch all the credits and then there's a sequel hook?

Umm, nope, they just went back to Gamespot studio. looks like that's a wrap.

My Square Enix Summary

Definitely looking forward to Shadow of the Tomb Raider. And Captain Spirit (free on June 26), Babylon's Fall, and The Quiet Man look interesting.

I've never played any of the Just Cause games, They any good?

[Aptorian]

That was disappointingly short. Maybe they show something extra during the Sony conference? Some FF7 or Avengers?

FF7? I'd say most definitely.

Avengers? hrm. They might be pulling a Cyberpunk with that one.

[Mentalist]

So now there's 2 and a half hours til Ubi. That gives me some time to be useful around the house.

The second Just Cause game became a big hit carried forth by some great YouTube videos of people having fun with the tethering and the fact that it was, still is, an enormous open world game back when that still something new. I really liked it.

The third one was even more colourful and full of things to explode but it was incredibly shallow.

The thing about the games is that they have terrible characters and cheesy bad writing. That was charming in 1 and 2 but completely missed the mark in the third.


If you'd like to play a game where you can blow up a lot if stuff I say try it out.

Depends how far along they'd be in it. Like I said, EM is apparently working on 3 games right now, and CD was also (still) helping out with Tomb Raider, so they wouldn't be going all out on Avengers either.
If the NextBoxes arrive holidays 2020, I'd say there's a good chance Avengers might be next gen.
Of course, that also depends on what kind of game this will actually be. And since it's supposed to be a multi-game deal, fair to guess they'll be transitioning to next gen, even if the first title could be a "bridge" game, available both on current and next gen.

so yeah, many things are possible.

Just re-watched the Babylon Falls trailer. I want somebody to take screenshots of the history screens do we can read the lore dump.

Thanks Apt for the reply and descriptions. I hope there are no hard feelings about earlier, I was just joshin'

I like blowing stuff up (and doing it in a number of different ways). I like traveling around in various ways - vehicles, parachute, tethering etc. But, anymore with open world/sandbox games, i'm at the stage where I need compelling story and side missions and just overall fun things to do and pursue in the game to keep me invested in it. So Just Cause doesn't exactly sound like it is for me. I'll keep on eye on how Just Cause 4 is received, but I don't see it being something I play unless it gets great reviews.

Dude, you need to relax. I don't actually care what you post. I rarely take anything on this forum serious except Anita Sarkisian and Sarah Jessica Parker.

However, in case you're not intentionally trolling, that "be happy, relax, smile, m'kay" shtick makes want to push you down a flight of stairs.

You can't both say something provocative or trollish and also say "just kidding" or "lighten up" afterwards. Either think before you speak or stand by your words and accept people might disagree and get annoyed.

What ever the case nobody should ever be that positive or use hashtags!

Well it's sort of my calling card. Because I legitimately think people should have fun and smile more (it would be a better world if we did). So not sure if I can give it up or stop using it, particularly when I think people who are overly annoyed at something insignificant need to hear it.

Watch E3 or NOKO Summit?

I'll spoil the summit for you:

There will be no nuclear war over North Korea.

Now, go watch E3
