Easy Allies @ E3 2017 Streaming Thread & Schedule

Love Huber and I love AssCreed, but I hate when he gets defensive over it. Comparing these games to the MCU is ridiculous.
You enjoy a janky ass game and the others dont, nothing wrong with that.

A gulf of quality

I agree with Kyle. Revealing BG&E2 and then coming out at a later date and saying it's a Switch timed exclusive would be super shitty. It isn't that different from what happened with Rise of the Tomb Raider.

Anyway, my quick review of Ubisoft's conference:

Positives:
- Mario+Rabbids actually looked decent
- Lots of new IPs and surprising announcements
- Not much talking
- Great trailers almost across the board
- BG&E2 CG trailer was incredible

Negatives:
- Dancing segment
- Off-screen Assassin's Creed gameplay was dumb as hell
- A new toys to life game in 2017 seems somewhat out of touch

I'm giving them an A-. That was a very good conference, far superior to the conferences we've seen so far this year.
 
Like i always thought, they only took a year off Assassins Creed because it was getting increasingly negative, this is just more of the same in another environment.
 
I think all the conferences have been pretty mediocre so far. Mario + Rabbids appeal did alot to make this one stand out from the others. Save us Sony + Nintendo
And yeah, Ass Creed looks like the same old jank

EA: C
Microsoft: B-
Bethesda: C
Devolver: F
Ubisoft: B
 
It's really weird to me how down these guys are about Skull and Bones compared to Sea of Thieves.

To me what they showed today craps all over what Sea of Thieves showed yesterday.

Nah, Skull and Bones looks to be just naval combat. Where's the pirate adventures?! They're totally different and I have zero interest in Skull and Bones unless I get off that ship.

Love Black Flag, but take my personal worst aspect of the entire game and spin it out to multiplayer and ughhhh

Naval battles with sea monsters.

Those to me are what Sea of Thieves is missing the most.

Skull and Bones seems to be a competitive naval combat game. Very different to Sea of Thieves.

Agreed. SoT looks painfully boring, while SxB takes my favourite thing from Black flag and makes a game about it.

There was a moment when the talk about dividing the fleet to naval or kand combat or something like that. I hope not all is naval combat and that gives me hope.
 
I think I prefer the adventure aspects of SoT, but I really loved the naval battles in AC4.

So both appeal to me in different ways.
 
So, Ubisoft is definitely the best conference (9.2)
2. Microsoft (8.7)
3. PC Gaming (8.5)
4. Bethesda (7)
5. EA (5.5)

(Im not ranking devolver but i thought it was funny)

It does feel like Ubisoft showed off a lot more stuff that was long off, maybe feeling that Vivendi takeover which is kind of sad. Trying to play all their chips they can to prevent the takeover.

Yeah, it's a long way off so plenty more to show I hope. But if the focus is competition wherever, it's a bummer.

I really need to go play some Pirates Gold tomorrow and dance with some goverenors daughters.
 
8.8/10

+ Mario+Rabbids overperformed, very exciting presentation of several games. Excited for an AC game. BG&E2.

Yeah, Sea of Thieves seems like wacky co-op pirate adventures, while Skull & Bones basically just looks like multiplayer only Black Flag ship combat.

Having said that, I think Sea of Thieves will be DOA when it comes out, while Skull & Bones will probably be fairly successful in the same way Rainbow Six: Siege and For Honor were.
