The Last Night is easily the most interesting thing revealed at that conference. So excited to play that when it comes out. Also definitely going to pick up the Life is Strange prequel and Ori 2. Now to watch the Sony conference tomorrow where the Spider-Man game will single-handedly tempt me into picking up a PS4 Pro.

Assasins Creed having levelling up and loot is hilarious

Might as well throw in reputation grinding, complete with forcing you to camp "rare spawns", and that franchise will have completed its transformation into a single player MMO.

Giant zones where you travel around doing pointless shit while waiting to do the main quest line, shallow crafting, horrible escort quests - except in Assassin's Creed they dress it up as 'follow this dude and eavesdrop' quests but it's still a fucking escort, less than stellar combat, bad A.I., and now loot and levels. And like almost every MMO a really awful plot that they just won't quit, no matter how bad it gets. Assassin's Creed should have dropped the near future stuff with Assassin's Creed 2.

To be fair, the series has had tedious and ultimately pointless side content from the start. Fuck those flags in the first game, fuck them forever.

Edit: Found the interview where the game director says the flags are literally pointless:

The justification concept could only go so far, and Desilets found himself on the losing side of an argument that almost broke it all apart. Throughout the game, there are collectible flags. Players can find them in nooks and crannies throughout the game's massive cities, gaining 100 of one type or 60 of another. The game tracks them. But do they really make sense? "They have nothing to do with Altair," Desilets admitted. He suggested he could have done without them but said others on his team thought players would enjoy gathering them. But random flags ... could they be parts of memories? "I managed to justify them," Desilets said. "I tried to do it in the instruction booklet and say that [Altair] had a thing with flags." In fact, the booklet states that planting flags in the 12th-century land of the game "was a popular way to lay claim to an area, but in the assassin's mind, these were false claims." Removing the flags is a way for the assassin to voice his disapproval. Such was Desilet's manner of masking an impurity in his game. Note that there are no rewards for gamers who collect all the flags other than pride. "It's almost a statement for gamers," he said. "It's a statement about the futility of collecting things."

Dude metro looks good. Is it only on the windows store though? =S

Nope, it's confirmed to be on Steam in the thread on gaming side, there is no way Deep Silver would ever deny sales like that. (I really hope Ori eventually comes because it sucks seeing indie developers lose sales).

It looks like Artyom is going to be a silent protagonist again, which kind of sucks. Oh well, the atmosphere is great.

I would've thought MS would have at least one or two new big first party games there. A lot of what they showed I thought was cool, but I suspect many will be super down on the conference. And that price won't help.

2 years a row now MS doesn't announce a big new 1st party game at E3. This was the perfect year for them to do it too since Halo and Gears were absent..but they had nothing. Very disappointing. Night and day compared to what Sony has done.

I mean, I don't even remember that there are flags in the first game. Clearly I didn't care for collecting them. I also don't carry a weird six years grudge about them. Aren't we supposed to... simply ignore the activities we don't like in these kinds of "there are a lot of icons!" games?

They had Forza I guess. Those games sell pretty well and are well liked. But I guess they're also basically just assumed to be out every other year depending on vanilla/Horizon so they aren't a surprise.

Microsoft does more than any other platform holder that I agree with, I think, but I just can't find the will to really support them. I think they're in a weird spot right now.

I said in the chat similar things. Was disappointed in the lack of any new big MS owned exclusives. Yes I want everyone to play the most amount of games possible. But they are a console manufacturer, so that is just part of that territory (Plus we get them on PC anyway). So for them to not show anything new outside Ori was a huge disappointment. Hopefully their gamescom is better in that department.

Since after gamescom, they don't really have any other avenues for reveals outside the VGA.

Really odd that Bethesda is doing their conference so late in the night US time compared to the previous years. 3 hours later than they did in the past couple years. Wonder why they decide that.

I dunno, even if the explicit gg support wasn't there, so much of cyberpunk is the atmosphere and world created as a result of technology combined with social inequality. This sounds like it's just missing the fucking mark entirely.

I hadn't heard of Code Vein before, that trailer gave me animu Darksiders 1 vibes which I would be fine with. I really need Ori 2 and DBZ to not suck also please.

Well, if the story turns out to be garbage, at least we will look at a fucking gorgeous garbage.

So, Ori may or may not be windows store only? If so fuck that, it's the only thing I really really wanted from their show. The other games all look cool though. In for Dragon Ball.

Too bad one of the lead developers is a fucking GGer. Such a shame.

I think it makes more sense for me to upgrade to a 1070 or 1080 GPU then.

There are so many different 1080 GPUs out there though, that I don't know which one to go for, other than the brand Evga. On this page alone, there's multiple choices.

Should I go for this FTW Edition ($711), a Superclocked one ($875) or a Founders Edition ($735)?

[edit] Actually, I might consider a cheaper 1070 looking at those prices.

Founders Edition ($618), FTW Edition ($562) or Superclocked ($538)?

I would not pick EVGA, they don't have the best performance or cooling. Try MSI or ASUS.
