nobody on the staff seems to care that much about MN9 but several have personal attachments to SF, so that seems obvious

actually the premise isn't bad, even if it's a little trite. it's more that the actual details of what the game is have turned me off.

I do not see 'it' with We Happy Few
I was in until I heard that the actual gameplay is more crafty survival stuff which was hugely disappointing.

Drew made such a MGS-like sound when talking about breakfast on the bombcast.

Still early access so I have hope. Austin said the story missions are great so if they fix the side stuff, I'm good. Looks intriguing.
Jeff would fire everyone and shut down the website.guys what if austin leaves giant bomb but mysterious anime qls just keep appearing

Anime Ted is the new hire, isn't he? Austin and Vinny dropping hints.

'you don't take your drugs and then the world is shit' is a) a weird message
I think that is a perfect metaphor for the nightmare that is late capitalism

My love of Overwatch apparently makes me an Anime fan, so that makes Austin's departure that much more difficult. I have not yet chosen a waifu, but my understanding is that is obligatory.

It's Mei.
Zarya is an acceptable back-up plan.

Well that's a bummer, that crazy multi-vehicle game that Criterion was working on is scrapped. They reached the expected end result of just being a husk of a studio that helps on other projects. Three Fields Entertainment is our only hope for a new Burnout-style game now.
They're working on a new IP, they need to pay the bills somehow.

Brad is already the worst.
"Horizon Zero Dawn felt like a complete game, I played a 10 minute demo of it." Meanwhile Zelda has an hour long demo on the show floor and the Treehouse streamed something like 5h of gameplay. I also don't get the obsession with Sea of Thieves. All they've shown is drinking and working on a boat. It sounds really cool though.
But who cares, list is still pretty good. And it's SCIENCE.

Eh, I could see the argument between Zero Dawn and Zelda. Sure they showed a lot of gameplay off of Zelda but it was still not much of what you expect to actually do in a Zelda game. There is still more to see about what makes that game so it can feel like less of a game when a lot of the stuff shown was just meandering around. Where Zero Dawn may have shown less but seeing the mechanics for gameplay and stuff can just feel more fully developed.
It's just perception but I can totally understand where it comes from.

Sea of Thieves is going to be complete shit with strangers, let's be honest.
The ideal game to play at E3 with a led experience but out in the wild? I'm not so sure.
I hope the single player/pick up group experience is well realised. I'm the only one in my group of friends who plays games that aren't FIFA.

the craziest thing was them thinking We Happy Few and Strafe looked good

Nothing about Strafe looks good. The 'nostalgia bro!' art style, the UI, the jerkiness of the aim, the enemy design. I was... very surprised to hear Jeff talk it up.
but nothing about Death Stranding was new or exciting or told us anything except Reedus is still maybe involved and we saw how that went over.

About to start Tokyo Mirage Sessions. Hope to beat it before the endurance run.

We Happy Few... the discrepancy between E3 trailer and gameplay desevers its own award.

Will We Happy Few have story missions and stuff? I saw a little bit of gameplay but it was someone running around for ages and then punching some people.
Well, we got official confirmation thatbut nothing about Death Stranding was new or exciting or told us anything except Reedus is still maybe involved and we saw how that went over.
Kojima will keep coming

I wasn't. The guys like to think they are above nostalgia (Brad, Alex and Jeff), but put anything out that resembles a PC game from the 90s and they are all in.

OT 24: A little anime tiddy goes a long way against cancer.
I mean if that were true I'd never have to worry about cancer again!

I haven't seen any of Strafe, but as I was listening to that dude talk about how you could paint the entire room in blood and how sick that is, all I kept thinking was "this conversation is fucking insane to anyone who isn't into FPS games and kind of makes me embarrassed for the medium a little bit"

We Happy Few looked real good. The information that came out after is the real disappointment. Maybe they'll get it right, but I expected a tight narrative experience out of it instead of a procedural survival game. Strafe gets props because it's like an old game and GB is mostly old dudes.
I think it looks rad
Still waiting for an Unfinished of Planet Coaster and / or RollerCoaster Tycoon World
need a coast to coast ql for that to bring back Big Jeffrey's Second Expansion Park

Would Jeff or Brad really deny their nostalgia for old games?
I do not see 'it' with We Happy Few
Will try and contact Jeff Green and ask him if he detected a hit with that one.
