Title. Haven't watched too much myself honestly. E3 always feels like a needle in a haystack thing for me. You either put in major time and get a nice overview of all the games (and sit through all the games presentations you are absolutely not interested in) or it is impossible to get a nice overview.
For me, Destiny's short teaser made me kinda hyped. Shit is about to get dark. I hope we get a more serious tone in the game. Cayde was the best character in D1, but now, he was just cringy. Honestly somewhat glad he is gone (oooof).
Last of us 2 looked very good. Curious where that is going. I hope they improve on the controls for the game, because that is what kind of ruined the first for me personally. Very cool setting and story, and then you are stuck with these unresponsive controls.
That steampunk GTA kinda game looked good as well.
Anything I need to watch and get hyped about?

At first, I was a bit disappointed with the division 2 reveal, as I think they sorta took the "easy" way out... it looks like they just took the same game but put it in the summer. But when I heard about 8 player raids in the game... well... I got a bit happier. As they reveal more, I'll get more excited about it. Nice move to give away free DLCs but I need a bit more to consider pre-ordering it... too many Ubi games suck at launch and given what happened launch with the division, many people are very skeptical. I did sign up for the beta tho...

Competitive Smash people are scary... They're like their own weirdo degenerate gypsy race that doesn't shower.
Hmm, Division 2... yeah Ubi games suck at launch but they seem to have a pretty good track record of fixing them in the long term instead of abandoning them. I think that's a game I need crossplay for if I'm going to bother with it.
As a mostly FPS guy, Battlefield V seems like the most interesting thing out there. They actually have the tech to put out an interesting BR mode unlike a certain lootbox obsessed dev that is still for some reason doing a season pass for maps not to mention stupid pre-order bonus maps and all sorts of heinous playerbase-segregating bullshit who will remain nameless... And they're also revamping all sorts of their mechanics for the better. Grand Operations sounds like a hoot, especially the Day 4 no respawn finale.
TLOU2 stuff was pretty cringe-worthy. We get it Naughty Dog. You're so progressive.
Zampella at the EA event was pretty bad. Mumbled about their Star Wars game with nothing to show... The question is, who is doing a better job of killing off Star Wars, EA with the games or Disney with the movies?
And nothing on a Titanfall 3.
Maneater was good for a laugh.
Prey Mooncrash DLC caught my eye a little, but then again I didn't play Prey in the first place.
The Starfox reveal on the Ubi space fighter game was pretty good. Hearing the Starfox comm gibberish was probably the closest to marking out I got during any of the shows. I'm still probably not going to play any of it, but If I were 10 years old I'd be all over that shit. And I'd like to see Starfox come back strong.
Overall pretty weak E3.
Very possible that a year from now I'll still be maining Siege, Rocket League, and PUBG

And nothing on a Titanfall 3. Honestly the only thing I was really hoping for. I miss Titanfall. Do you think PUBG has anything over BF5 BR? Of coarse there is still a lot room for error on BF side, they showed us nothing. But at least they have a proper engine. I think it could steal a reasonable playerbase chunk from PUBG if done right. I still hope PUBG is going to step up their game, but it is taking quite a while for sure...

But at least they have a proper engine. I think it could steal a reasonable playerbase chunk from PUBG if done right. I still hope PUBG is going to step up their game, but it is taking quite a while for sure... It depends, on PC I think PUBG is fine. 60 bucks + EA Origin, the cheapskates will stick with PUBG. I don't get the feeling that BF is very strong in Asian markets so PUBG will always have that going for it. The thing is... DICE has everything they need to completely knock it out of the park. They already handle 64 players with pretty good network performance on large maps. They can almost certainly provide (at a lower resolution) a similar map size and experience at 60 fps on console. And the Xbox version of PUBG is really what's in trouble. The issues it still has 6 months in are the sort of things that make people just want to stop playing. Lots of people don't want the cartoony Fortnite thing, myself included obviously, but give them a credible alternative and they are out. Unless PUBG really pulls it together on Xbox, all BFV has to do is deliver a BR mode that works. In some ways Battlefield is even more poised to do BR right than they are to do Battlefield right. Like, they've been kind of all over with destruction tech. The biggest problem they had is their flagship 32v32 mode with hundreds of respawns along with a steady supply of fresh vehicles means the map would just get flattened in shot order and lose any sense of design or tactical play. So they scaled back destruction, did the levolution stuff for a big map event kind of thing and... it works decently. But in BR there's no reason not to make the whole map destructible. In fact it sounds totally amazing... just imagining a final circle on some town that just gets progressively more and more destroyed. Or rolling up on a compound and seeing that there was a big fight with chunks of wall missing, or even a collapsed building. And yeah yeah, I know Fortnite does destruction but it's not quite the same. And it sounds like BFV will have Siege style bullet penetration, where you can take out chunks of wall by shooting through... it's all stuff that if grafted on top of PUBG would make it so much better. And mechanically BF5 has all it needs to ape PUBG in other areas already. It has projectiles instead of hitscan, it's got bullet drop, it's got the thing where shots will be blocked if you try COD-style headglitches because your gun needs to be in a vaguely realistic position to shoot over cover. They have DBNO mechanics. They've got traversal vehicles... They've got parachutes.... like, 90% of what they needed they've been iterating on for well over a decade. There's always the question of how over the top they're going to go though. Are their going to be air-dropped tanks? Bazookas? They could turn off some people by messing with the tactical pace of PUBG but I think at this point nobody on Xbox cares just because it's so broken. They've got "I like realistic guns guy" pretty much locked up. I guess if you really want to quibble, a modern game instead of WW2 would probably be ideal but I mean, that's coming next BF anyway and if the mode is established as a success in the WW2 release and they can iterate and perfect for the modern title, so much the better. And there's always the question of how much in the way of resources they are willing to put in. I mean, Fortnite pivoted pretty much their whole company to support and grow it as it took off. BFV has so much other core shit going on where you got to wonder if the BR mode is going to get the love it needs. I don't know, as usual I'm rambling, and they haven't shown jack shit in regards to BR, just like COD hasn't. But yeah, whereas with COD I have no idea which orifice they are going to manage to pull a decent BR game out of... DICE was basically born for this shit.

The question is, who is doing a better job of killing off Star Wars, EA with the games or Disney with the movies? That is actually a very fair question, tho I personally give a nod to the games trying to self-destruct the franchise with idiotic pricing and general asshole practices. As for me, I haven't watched any E3 coverage, just the trailer for FromSofts next game which is basically a reimagined Nioh which is not what I wanted; I wanted to see Bloodborne 2.

I thought Microsoft had a killer presentation and stole the show.
Been trying my best to follow Cyberpunk 2077 since they teased it like 5 years ago or whenever. I am ridiculous hyped for that now.
Kingdom Hearts 3 will be fun since I'm a dad now and actually know all of the Disney characters, and it coming to Xbox is icing.

This year’s E3 was a waste of time. They should have just put this stuff up on YouTube and called it a day.

EA: Sea of Solitude might be interesting, we'll see about the Respawn Star Wars game when they actually have something.
Microsoft: Cyberpunk 2077 is probably the game I'm most excited about in general, CDPR is a fantastic company when it comes to consumer interest and making great games, and I love the setting, and the fact they worked with Mike Pondsmith to make sure it encapsulated the world he invented in Cyberpunk 2020.
Bethesda: Just about all of it (looking at you Blades), sure Doom, Starfield and ES6 (ESPECIALLY ES6) were more teases than anything, I'll definitely be looking forward to hearing about them next year and after. Fallout 76 has me hella hyped, especially when they make private servers and mods available. New Wolfenstein and Rage 2 have me interested.
SE: Kingdom Hearts 3, finally it's real.
Ubi: Uh...I mean...okay?
PC: Didn't watch it tbh
Sony: Last of Us, still need to finish 1 though. Death Stranding, I just, still have no clue what to make of this game.
Nintendo: Haven't had a Nintendo console for years so.

Do you think PUBG has anything over BF5 BR? I read the other day that DICE said BR won't be there at launch of BFV... I kind of expect COD to do that as well, just because I don't think they can pull it off. But I'm pretty disappointed in DICE on this one. Being post-launch DLC makes it feel like a bit of an afterthought. And I don't like the idea of BR as just one game mode along with all the other typical Battlefield shit. If I were running the show I think I would go Fortnite style F2P as a separate product. Do a map or two from your BFV assets, and then transition into pillaging stuff from the upcoming modern BF game and on and on. COD was rumored to be more of a BR platform, and I think that's the way to go... though the rumor also said that the yearly COD entry would be your 'buy-in' for that year of BR and that is just moronic. But then again everything about how Activision handles COD is moronic. Hey is everyone enjoying the throwback map pack in BO3 they got EXCLUSIVELY from pre-ordering BO4? Yeah, didn't think so.
