I kinda feel back for Platinum, I'm sure that going the GaaS was not their decision. And speaking about that, wasn't that same thing that lead to their falling out with MS with Scalebound.

I'm definitely hoping for GB/GBA sooner rather than later. Tons of games I want to play that I don't have good access to. And I don't want to emulate them on PC, I want to sit down and play them handheld.
My expectations are just low. It's been years now. I know the service can't be what the VC was, but it sucks to always restart Nintendo's classic game offerings from the beginnings and take years to ramp up. And this time, while they are free, we have access to much less than the Wii, Wii U, and 3DS.
Not a good E3 yet, but 3 games in particular I am very excited for so far.
MS - C+, solid pacing and some solid games, but nothing super exciting for me personally or things I am interested in that I can't get elsewhere.
Ubi - C-, terrible pacing but loved Mario + Rabbids and Avatar. Showsavers but the first 45 minutes was pathetic.
Square - D, disappointing as hell, but LOVE Guardians of the Galaxy. Extremely underwhelming or downright aggravating everything else.

They can keep it. Hitman 3 on Switch was absolute garbage. And I paid 50 bucks for that garbage. Just end this cloud shit, it's not working.
Sorry. Made a bad joke. Because you wrote that your Smash hype is dead followed by unless those games you mentioned are at the Direct, I misinterpreted that you wrote accidentally Smash instead of Nintendo. I'm tired.
What a difference a thread makes. Last thread, people were complaining about that Direct as the worst of the Switch Era lol
It hasn't. If and when it does, please keep that second question to spoiler tags (even just "omg the Direct is sooooo good" or "wtf is that it" is considered a spoiler by some).
*I Am All Of Me intensifies* :p
I didn't realise the PS5 demo was live already, was gonna download it but uh
The chaos never ends!
Nobody is forcing Platinum to do these projects. They chose to work on these titles.
lol for reals?!! Unless Zelda is being released on Tuesday I don't see whythe consoles has to be held back
MS - B+ (an A- show would've been Redfall/Hellblade 2 gameplay and a stronger Halo MP emphasis)
Ubisoft - C-
Square - Literal F

Obviously, I meant the direction the game went. Babylon looked like a SP game at first.
Starfield will be a shooter too. So 3 games and indies. Well, I think my point is ok. The conference had good pacing and it's ok if you like shooter. To me, nothing exciting but I'm glad you people who had enjoyed it.
They patched it to run 720/60 and it works way better now. You still need a decent internet connection to run.
Yep, everyone is getting the corrupted message for FF Origin demo. What a shit show this E3 has been for Square lmao.
Thankfully the Dragon Quest showcase was actually awesome the other day. Should have been their E3 show instead of that lmao

Platinum started a whole new studio to develop GaaS titles though. It was part of the Tencent funding deal.
I'd just cross out Square. Giving them an F implies they tried.
I doubt Starfield can be considered a shooter. It'll be a RPG, shooting won't be the focus of it. As a BGS fan, I gotta admit they clearly don't focus on combat and that it's never really exciting to fight in those games.
Though yeah, you'll shoot at things in the game, so I hear you, if you don't like that kind of setting I understand your point !
Yeah I don't feel for them at all. They make these decisions. They make these deals. They put out some mediocre products and it will continue with Babylon Fails.
Lag is still awful. At some moments it goes up to whole one second. A game that requires precision like Hitman shouldn't have any lag. They say a wired connection on docked mode improves lag but unfortunately I have Switch lite.
Also before patch there were lots of error messages that made my lose my progress.
Aside from the poor showing, I think Square needs to figure out a way to separate their Square Enix branding with their Eidos branding. It's been several years but people still think of Square as a Japanese, RPG-focused company. I think most people don't even realize that Square is the publisher for Avengers, Tomb Raider, etc. They think of Eidos as a separate entity until they are reminded during SE's presentations.
Save us Takahashi
too bad it takes like 50 hours to reach that. and it's awesome!!!
then you make mechs for your teammates. AND THEY START RUNNING OUT OF FUEL ALL THE TIMEIWIDSwew3rwfsed
The thing with Platnium is that they make great games, but also bad ones. It's been like this for a while so it's not a surprise.
However, when they hit it out of the park they hit it out of the park.

So the Pro enhanced third party games that were rumored, do we still think those will be shown off Tuesday, just with regular Switch footage? Or pushed back entirely?
For me the September 2019 Direct was far far weaker than than the E3 2019 Direct and Feb 2019 Direct. The only notable first party thing was the Xenoblade remaster.
Hmmm so far the conference has been 4/10, so that means the rest must by 12/10! /s
They're trying really hard to have their cake and eat it too in that regard. Like, it feels like their approach right now is to have something heavily Westernized, and then a few months down the road, something heavily Easternized. I don't think it suits them.
i was pretty disappointed in the microsoft show as a non-xbox one/series owner who has been looking positively at MS for gamepass and other features but waiting for them to up their game selection as i felt the old stable of MS exclusives are stale; i'd give it a 6/10. Thought the bethesda purchase would fix the lack of games that appeal to me, but not seeing the fruit of that purchase until at least 2022 it seems. The only game thats a must play for me is psychonaughts 2, which will be available on PS4 as well, 12 minutes also looks great, and atomic heart was interesting, nothing else really thats a system seller to me for 2021. Lots of games that I'd try on gamepass, which i guess is their angle. Halo looked better than last time, but still nothing thats jumping out as "this is next gen halo" like other first halo's on a system would be; as someone use stood in midnight lines for Halo games in the past, this isnt pulling me back in. bethesda's vampire game at the end did zero for me, and not being a RPG fan starfield isnt interesting to me either; but totally get the appeal for others. Was hoping to see more variety and see more exclusives that could rival Playstations quality...maybe next year.
Baffling, having all the characters playable would instantly dealt with its biggest issue(s).
I don't mind an edgy game, I just already hate the main character with a f*cking passion
Earlier he was expecting the Nintendo Direct to be 8 out of 10...guess things changed again.
The rumor was that third party were showing them in their presentation and announced for the Switch family, but the Switch games that are announced could be count with one hand as of now.
Does Nate know the entire contents of the Direct? If not, maybe we shouldn't get too obsessive about the number he puts his excitement at.
Its unusual for you to seem so... "negative" / direct about something.
But yeah, it is kinda bafling that they even felt like they have a show with what they showed,
instead of releasing press releases and trailers on youtube.
Its just so sad...but it was good for the ton of funny takes here. CHAOS!
I agree. Feb 2019 had Splatoon and Mario Golf which were both new games, and that's better than just Xenoblade HD. E3 2019 was better as well.
So what was the expectations for FF origins? I didn't bother much with the rumors cause one of them was PS5 exclusive and lost interest right there and then.
After watching all these shows over the weekend, seeing all these games with super pristine polished graphics but these interchangeable visual identities, frequent lack of gameplay, and comparatively risk-free designs, I feel like I come to appreciate the more "A-AA" sized games coming out like NEO TWEWY, Psychonauts 2, and No More Heroes 3.
All those games have varying degree of roughness to them but it feels like these are games where their aspirations are strictly within the realm of what the developers know they can provide, and that you can just take it or leave it. Doing something totally crazy, stuff that might look/feel awkward to the common consumer, but just straight up knows it's willing to compromise on itself and push its humble ambitions to deliver something no one else is going to give you on a holistic level, doing so with confidence. "Anti-pretentious" in a way. It reminds me of the wild west of the fifth gen when we'd get games like God Hand, Killer7, the original Psychonauts, Stranger's Wrath, etc. Games that weren't scared of being something a little different while being focused in knowing entirely what they want out of themselves.
Obviously I still want these games to be polished and all, and everything is still subjective, but y'know, just speaking in a general sense. I guess I'm just thinking about that now and seeing how PlatinumGames, one of my favorite developers, continues to feel like they get dealt a bad hand by the producers they work for when their tenure since Clover made them the premiere provider of these kinds of "we just want to do something crazy and unique" experiences in my eyes, like I could always expect them to offer something truly unique that stands out, even when not always the most polished. It feels like the studio always gets contracted because they're known as the studio who makes those good combat hack 'n slashes, even though their nuances go deeper than that. Sometimes they'd do a super crazy take on a third person shooter, or their take on a Zelda-like, or a side scrolling beat em up. I miss those scrappy days.

I think it was supposed to be A Dark Souls clone or something
omg how can the FF 'collection' look significantly worse than the psp games from 15 years ago
they might even be worse than the gba versions, we shall see

Oh shit I misread it. Feb 2019 had Mario Maker 2
and Astral Chain so the point still stands.
Xbox was good. Square was boring. I thought Babylon looked cool and the premise was interesting but with the GaaS I lost interest.
FF Origins was ok I guess? It felt more like watching to DmC than a FF game.
FF Collection is cool. But only on PC is a bit meh.

Me thinking we'd get to play as characters inspired by Amano-art in Final Fantasy Origin.
Straight up clown shit.
