OT: Video Game Thread Part VI

[1865]

Anything good come out of E3?

Worst E3 in living memory.

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

Worst E3 in living memory.

Metroid Dread looks pretty awesome.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Metroid Dread looks pretty awesome.

And it looks like we're getting a sequel to Fusion, which should of happened so much sooner. f*** I'm excited.

 

[Striiker]

Excited for Halo and Starfield.

Skyrim in space? I'm in.

 

[Jack Straw]

I’m not a huge video game guy, loved Skyrim and some other older RPGs, this looks like it could be awesome.

It is kinda funny to see Microsoft cry foul over exclusives and then this generation appear to be loading up on them.

Game Pass is turning into a sensational deal tho, I just don’t get how the finances work for them without a hefty increase in price.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

The pay increase will come soon enough. And on top of the games, all the back end work PLUS the streaming devices that are rumored to be coming out.

Streaming devices? Isn’t that just the disc drive-less Xbox?

I must not hype
Hype is the fun-killer

Speaking of Bethesda, I started playing Elder Scrolls Online with my friend yesterday, since it's on Game Pass. It has been a minute -- like ummmm 15 years -- since I played an MMO, and while it's likely more a short-term fad than a commitment, there's something exhilarating about being thrown into the deep end.

Only @landsbergfan will truly and utterly appreciate that we went Argonians -- swamp reptiles -- and named our characters, Moistus Septim and Moistrunes Dagon, after Elder Scrolls Oblivion characters.

Spoiler

My friend and I in our Fortnite days exclusively used the Moisty Merman skin for 2 years. I'm not saying it became our adopted identities; and I'm definitely not saying we called ourselves the "Moisty Boys"; and in no way shape or form did my friend's wife make him a birthday cake with the character on it......but yeah.

 

[BritainStix]

Another Halo game.....you don't say.....

 

[wankstifier]

Metroid Dread looks pretty awesome.

Seriously? I thought it looked like a CGI show from the early 2000s and the gameplay didn't seem impressive. There are good 2D platformers available for the fraction of the cost.

Argonians aren’t reptiles, they’re farming equipment.

The Xbox had a game “shadow something” about 10 years ago that was basically this game minus the sliding around cinematic moves.

Friend sent this to me and I laughed. I can't count how many times I did this.

Carter Hart stopped 68 of 73 shots and we lost 5-0

How was Hayes?

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

How was Hayes?

This is Captain Tiger Pants, I'm assuming Hayes was bound and gagged and left to die behind a dumpster.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

How was Hayes?

I wouldn't know - trading him was the first thing I did.

This Blue Box Studios stuff is superb conspiracy theory work. I really do think there's something behind it too.

Is BLUE BOX Game Studios 'Abandoned' Really Kojima and Silent Hill?

For anyone not in the loop like I was.

Shadow Complex and it ruled.

If I were in charge, I would've Babcocked him. Keep him on your team but never let him play to ruin his career.
