E3 2013

[sergiomonty]

If the next Banjo-Kazooie is on an Xbox console... trust me, I won't give a crap. Not only Nuts & Bolts isn't worth an entire console (it's "okay", but not worth a console), Xbox One is not the proper console for a B-K game. Not only because the console sucks... but because the the series is loved worldwide, and making it available only in 21 countries is fucking sick.

[Rayfist]

So it turns out Steven Spielberg, a man whom many have respect for, for good reasons says he thinks "videogames can not tell a story" -never in my life have I disagreed with a man as talented as himself, it's very odd, considering he's making a Halo TV series and that is the way he thinks of videogames and he also states videogames can't make a consumer care for a character. That's just wow...

[Adsolution]

It's sort of like how Roger Ebert, the most renowned film critic in the world, stated that video games will not and cannot ever be considered high art. I was like agh what.

[neo]

I'll be the 10.000th person to say this... but I truly want Nintendo to buy Rare back. If only the company wasn't so Japan-focused they'll notice that what America and Europe want is that they purchase our beloved franchises back...

Funny, because I said the same thing to Adsolution on skype.
I agree with everyone else here, I want to see Microsoft ditch the console industry, I wouldn't mind them still making OS's, I actually though Windows 8 was decent, despite a lot of people hated it. Sega entering the industry would be pretty cool, the Dreamcast was a legendary system, Sega's console died a hero.

I don't want that happening. One, I like the 360. Two, gives the other companies competition and reason to step up their game.

Yet, sadly I see that Microsoft is very strict and really only cares about themselves. They aren't really about hardcore players, just about business. Maybe.

I want them to continue and do better but I don't think they will because developers don't want to deal with them, and well in reason. For example, the Devs for Super Meat Boy.

[Adsolution]

The thing with Microsoft is that their products and service are excellent. Even though it required a fee, Xbox Live is probably one of the most stable, consistent and quickest online services I've ever encountered. Windows, akin to all that, has virtually no (major) functional flaws, almost always delivers what people want, but contrary to their other products, its security has always been extremely lenient.

The thing with DRM is that, if done well, its purpose is simply regulation. It prevents stupid people from falling behind, and it prevents aspiring people from moving forward. While the concept creates a more uniform, organised reality (what some might consider to be a dream), I think that dream when analysed is very boring, uninteresting, and leads us nowhere. Fuck DRM and the pussies who created it!

[sergiomonty]

^Well, Ad, I'd contradict the first part of your opinion with a really strong argument... but your image of rank is distracting me a lot....

...

Man... I would totally motorboat those Voodoo titties.

...

EHEM. Oh, I don't know if you noticed, but you make DRM sound like it was created by Ales Mansay. Really, just take a look at my signature

[Rulez]

Haha what the fuck Sergio

[Adsolution]

image of rank

My image is of the Fée de la Mort, not of rank.

Are you implying that he didn't create it?

[OCG]

My image is of the Fée de la Mort, not of rank.

How did you even get that option? I remember before, you were Rayman 1 rank.

[Snagglebee]

That's a Special Rank, that he got awarded in the SOTM?

[Rayfist]

So after that fantastic E3 of Nintendo's. I have now assembled a wishlist:

Wii-U and 3DS wishlist

Wii-U:
• Super Mario 3D World
• The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD
• Mario Kart 8
• Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze
• Super Smash Bros
• Sonic Lost World
• (maybe) New Super Luigi U

3DS:
• 3DS XL
• Project X Zone
• Pokemon X
• Super Smash Bros
• (maybe) Sonic Lost World
• The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
• Mario & Luigi: Dream Team
• Yoshi's New Island
• Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D

Looking forward to these titles! Sadly I may have to wipe some of these off the list in order to save me money, it's tough deciding.

[Master]

The console of this gen has yet to be decided for me, perhaps I might not pick any at all.
However, handheld wise, I'm with the 3DS.
The games that have caught my interest for the 3DS are:
- Pokemon X/Y (Big 'un)
- Smash Bros 3ds
- Sonic Lost World (if DIMPS can get it right again)
- Mario and Luigi: Dream Team
- Mario Kart 7
- The new Yoshi's Island.
- Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies

Good list my man, I just want X version to save me money. Looks like I'll have to work a job this summer! Oh forgot to mention going to Nintendo World when my vacation starts soon!

So.... shovelware, ports that even the Wii U has and 2 or 3 exclusives... can someone please remind me how the fuck did Sony win E3?

... I see... Insulting the competence in public.

[Rayfist]

I think Nintendo won E3, Sony certainly did better than Microsoft though.

Oh, I wouldn't get both versions, I'm not yet decided on which one I would get (though I'm leaning towards Y, Yveltal is of more interest to me).
Nintendo World in New York? Hm, hope it is enjoyable for ya, good fellow.
Speaking of Ninty, I tried out a 3DS XL at a shop the other day, and I must admit, I actually prefer the larger size, compared to the normal 3DS next to it.

[OCG]

can someone please remind me how the fuck did Sony win E3?

By showing best games?

[Keane]

Let's mark all the ports and bad games, and games that aren't bad but not titles that will make you want the console.

PS4

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag
Battlefield 4
Call of Duty: Ghosts
DC Universe Online
DriveClub
FIFA 14
Just Dance 2014
Killzone Shadow Fall
Knack (I think?)
LEGO Marvel Super Heroes
Madden NFL 25
NBA 2K14
NBA Live 14
PlanetSide 2
Skylanders: Swap Force
Warframe Digital Extremes
Watch Dogs

And in my humble opinion Killzone is nothing more then just another FPS series, but apparently it's got a fanbase.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!


Don't make me laugh. It has good games, kid, but certainly not the best games on stage. If I remember, the game that got everyone overly hyped was Kingdom Hearts 3... and that game is also confirmed for Xbox One... and is still in development, so we won't probably hear about it in the next 2 years.

[Keane]

Same goes for MGS5. No, society doesn't think they won because of games, they think they won because they acted like douchebags to please the internet audience and because they have a group of people that will buy anything as long as their brand name is on it.
