I will go further and say this is true for me about almost anything, not just video game walkthroughs. I dislike having to watch a video for news, or having to watch a documentary and much rather read written articles

Have fun with your Vectrex, old man.

You don't even like Lazy Game Reviews? Clint is intelligent, passionate without being shouty, and has a voice that could melt butter. Also his Oddware and Tech Tales episodes are amazing.

Microsoft just wrote its own suicide note in the console arena this E3, and the XBox name will only be tied to a service in the very near future. Going in both directions on new consoles seems to be a problem, especially since the slim model is $400 when it really should be half. I'm actually interested in the beefed up Scorpio, but not at the price that it'll likely be (I'm assuming more than $400). Also where is the incentive for me to get a Scorpio if all the games will be on PC?
Sony is continuing to rest on their laurels. They've used up the good will and now its time to deliver the goods. PSN still isn't as good as Xbox live. I've had fun with the PS4, but I'm not excited about it, outside of No Man's Sky and Horizon.
Nintendo has Zelda, which has a great style and shitty last-gen fucking graphics. I like how people think that they are holding back some treasure trove of goodies for the NX in the face of the very real possibility that this new Zelda, if its a masterpiece, could likely be their last, dying breath of greatness.
Steam is a dumpster fire that I only use begrudgingly because its the defacto standard in the PC arena.
VR seems DOA.
Since we already got The Witness, Doom, Stardew Valley, Dark Souls 3 and Overwatch this year, I'm thinking that E3 didn't really matter, since 2016 has already been a great year for games.

Yeah, I'm just feeling sour on gaming ATM.
I do think Horizon:Zero Dawn, Zelda, Forza/GT Sport, GOW, Detroit, Whatever that Kojima Game was called, and REVII look like good to great games. Also, I think that indie games will continue to produce some of the more interesting content, much like Axiom Verge and Undertale did for me last year.

The Uncharted series is overrated as hell. (Have a PS4)

Doom 4 is exceptionally over-rated game that doesn't do anything better than other FPS games around. It is just an ok arena shooter with pretty terrible weapons, extremely poor gore, mind-numbing "glory kills" and no story line or anything to keep you going. Just an arena after arena with boring predictable enemies with constant health drops that make you invincible. The game has extremely poor colour pallet and everything looks the same, the ground textures are insanely bad and most environmental details are pre-historic in their graphical fidelity. Most weapons feel dull, boring and weak and some of the alpha effects on them (specifically on the plasma rifle) are beyond terrible. I am so mad at this game, SO MAD!
Well, now that I got that out of my system, the game is ok, it doesn't impress me on any front but it can be fun at times. I just can't play it for more than 30 minutes at a time, it is just too soulless.
Don't hate me, guys, ok? I don't think it was a (total) waste of money, but I expected a lot more.

I guess to hop on the wagon a bit, I'll say that I'm" not really excited for the new God of War. Don't get me wrong, I'm" very happy they decided to go for Norse mythology and I love bearded Kratos but what I wanted from the new God of War (more or less an Ascension successor - gameplay wise plus multiplayer) is not the direction they decided to take and that's perfectly fine and I am happy for those excited for the new direction of the series. I'll just stick with playing Ascension.
Heaven forbid people should get excited by a game that isn't on your console.
Ooh, the post-E3 controversial opinion thread bump
I wasn't impressed either. It was very pretty, but it looks like they're taking it in a more narrative-focused, scripted direction. The old games were fun but I don't care about Kratos as a character. So I don't think this is for me.

Gran Turismo Sport looks more fun than Forza Horizon 3.
Also I think world of Final Fantasy might be a more fun game than XV.
Days gone looks boring.
Recore was the only thing interesting exclusive out of that ms show.
I wished Horizon Zero Dawn didn't get pushed back to 2017 because I don't want UC4 be uncontested in being ps4 goty.

Someone is going to have to explain mechanical dinosaurs in Horizon for me. How the fuck is that a thing? So we have the tech for that and high tech weapons but we rolling around in loin cloths?
Looks great. Makes no sense.

Not just of Ubisoft ones but I enjoy collecting pointless stuff in any game, in fact I consider a game bad if it doesnt have pointless collectibles to find.

Sam not being in Uncharted 4 would have made it infinitely better.
Boom, there you have it. And I love it. Cause why not? I prefer having stylistic creativity over completely bound by realism every time.

I did some googling, and it seems to be used as ammunition in the console wars, since only one of the platform holders has an exclusive open world racer.

Is 2016 and still most games bathrooms lack mirrors
Is 2016 and the AI in games still suck big time
Is 2016 and smoke effects have not improved since 2003
is 2016 and still some games presented for the Xbox360 and PS3 unveil can´t look that good with current hardware
is 2016 and many studios have trouble illuminating their game world
I really want to like Watch Dogs 2, but cant help to see empty streets with barely no vehicles, LOD that sucks and off all the things they said they have improved, the game engine aint one. Same for Ghost Recon.

I'll post this here:
The new Zelda does nothing for me. Don't care for the gameplay shown, the art style, characters, the graphics... everything. Everything about it is underwhelming to me.

I feel like the extremely fast refresh rate for video game consoles has resulted in a hardware non-standardization and lack of consumer confidence that removes some of the main benefits of console gaming. (Which is hardware standardization and the knowledge that you'll have a steady stream of games that will work with your box for several years.)
I might as well invest in a new computer built for gaming. Although I don't know anything about buying parts or putting them together.

Heard this crap about driveclub.
*fist bump*
Though, to be fair, the only LoZ games I've truly enjoyed were the original and Wind Waker. Huh, I guess that's my own controversial opinion. So there you go.

These are genuinely false. Has anybody gone back and actually looked at 2003 effects lately?
And I can't think of any bullshot footage from gen 7 launch that isn't achievable today. Including Killzone 2.
Using a Ubisoft game as the example of how modern games are disappointing may not be the best yardstick.

Your lost.
LOL I have enough quality games that I won't mind missing on one.
Between no gender choice and what I feel is an ugly art style I think this "lost" isn't really an issue.

Heh. Just messing with you. I feel that way too somewhat. I mean, I don't think I would be interested in Horizon if Aloy was a guy, y'know?
With no male option in Horizon you won't play it either right?
It's all good
I just roll with the punches in this thread.Her being a female certainly makes me more interested in Horizon certainly.
Don't get me wrong I don't believe for a second Zelda won't be good but we have some amazing games coming down the pipe and I have a limited budget.
I hope Zelda is straight 10's but I much rather give games that allow me to play as a woman or speak to me personally.
