I do not think mn9 was actually trying to be mean to anime fans, not that it makes the trailer any better.

I'm not saying the anime thing was a good or funny line but anyone acting offended by it is worthy of much derision

Only problem i'd have with it being open world is that I could end up just sticking with general routes between areas constantly and it'd get boring.

I'm still interested though cause from videos the platforming looks good so I'll wait for reviews before jumping on it.

look its 2016 can we just go ahead and say that open world is just a dumb marketing buzzword. any games that aren't corridor shooters with invisible walls are open world, they cram a few fetch quests and a hub with a store in there nowadays and bam

back when anything but segregated maps meant major technical considerations 'free roam' and 'open world' was hella impressive but now every game ever is and it rarely ever brings anything to the table because most of the time its 'open world' on the level of far cry 3, not 'open world' like gta

Isn't the Nintendo e3 confirmed to just be Zelda? Like I know people were assuming they'd have a direct but I thought even that was confirmed to not be happening and to just be a treehouse focusing on Zelda

They're claiming it's just Zelda, but I'm hoping we'll also at least get more info about what the heck the NX is besides "the thing that Zelda is coming out on".

the worst part is that people are proud that they spent $150 on a game

when halo 4 came out a ton of people i loosely knew were bragging about spending that much and im talking about grown rear end men i didn't even know play video games

i was dumb and bought bf3 premium because i fell for their bullshit and just that once was enough, how do people not feel burned after spending $150 on a plastic figurine and a book is beyond me

Considering most reviews and player feedback from the first game voiced how bad the forced combat sections hosed with the game flow it's a little surprising that they come wheeling back and present forced combat sections again. We'll find out if it's good or bad when it comes out.

I don't know anybody that actually cares about Mirror Edge's plot.

They should really just cut combat comletely, that's what almost everybody was asking for. But its :dice: and the idea of making an FPS with no guns gives them a brain aneurysm.

I like how the big bad plot of mirror's edge was that they were training cops in parkour and that's evil because the parkour cops were going to stop the illegal package runners

Nope but the enemies still do, right?


That's pretty cool, it would be even cooler if they got Steam to support them the other direction.

But then at that point... are they just the same service? :confused:

Kinda feels like Valve should just buy out GOG and make them the 'classic games' division or something.

What was the robot dinosaur game, I remember seeing it and it looked neat but what they showed was obviously super scripted for e3 reasons so hopefully if they show it again they'll have a demo or something

It was a CG scripted trailer, yes. They showed a real gameplay version of that same game segment later and the visuals were worse, the framerate chugged inconsistently and there was screen tearing. It's been a while so I'm sure at least some of it will get fixed up in time for release but still, never trust an E3 trailer not by Nintendo.

I was looking up to make sure that yes Nintendo are only showing Zelda and there are still so many articles from like this week that are still like "maybe Nintendo will actually show the NX after all" despite no indication that's going to happen. Like it was hard to find anything about Nintendo not having a direct because there are so many articles just assuming they will with nothing to back that up. Oh games journalism :allears:

I had a friend tell me that he saw people were really mad that you could play a female Link and he was surprised when I told him that to my knowledge that hadn't really been confirmed anywhere.

They might've been thinking of that weird bit of news when uhh was it aonuma or whoever joked about how he never said the person in the zelda u teaser is a boy so people latched on to that assuming that you played a girl link and then aonuma was like "no I was just trying to joke" which, to be fair, was a kinda lovely joke

Except it's kind of not which is part of the reason Nintendo have seemingly gone into emergency mode. Like it's not doing bad but it's not managing to hold up the company like it used to and they are losing a ton of ground to tablets
