E3 2021 is about a month away, how hyped are you?
- Thread starter Meelow
- Start date
i'm struggling to see how folks don't see this as the biggest showing since 2015/2016, honestly. 2018, 2019 and 2020 practically had nothing compared to the current lineup.
I used to mark E3 in my inner calendar and take off work on monday and tuesday. Those days are well and truly behind me.
This is the first E3 in years, close to a decade, where I'm actually more than a 3 on the hype-meter. I remember a few years ago getting banned from the old site thanks to trolling a GOT thread and the mod put in there "looks like you're going to miss E3, sucks to be you" and I physically laughed out loud. I wished I could have sent him a message saying "do you seriously think that's a punishment?" Every year I would just wait until each day was over, then read the news posts.
HOWEVER. Between companies live streaming this information directly to us, to Nintendo killing it with announcements lately to a lot of games I am heavily anticipating, I haven't been this excited for E3 in probably 15 years. Not since back in the 360 days when my friend and I would take three days off for "second Christmas".

If there was a 0 I'd have picked that. I feel nothing. I'm gonna walk out of this E3 with zero reason to get involved in next gen AGAIN, I can feel it.
Lol this gaming enthusiast forum hates just about every game and generally has a negative skew in perception of just about anything. I'm willing to bet this E3 will be VERY successful.
8-9. Mainly excited for games I already know are coming, like Halo Infinite and Breath of the Wild 2. Really want to see more footage from those two games. Excited to see the new Switch hardware, wonder if it'll have DLSS capacities.
Hope Nintendo and Microsoft have some surprises in store. Hope I get to see Forza and a new Metroid or Donkey Kong game. Can't wait :)
And the negativity on this forum sometimes gets to me. I need to curate the threads I visit more.

Here's 700+ people going to bat and writing positively about their favorite games in 2020. I know that people like to say that people on Era dislike games, but the critical voices in one-off threads are typically louder in threads than the silent supporters.
Next week we should be getting the overall schedule and all. There's also the Summer Games Fest, and that's happening before E3, so maybe some teases here and there.
Hey, at least you might have FF XVI, FF Origin and Elden Rign to look forward to, right? These three seem to be almost a given by now (well, maybe not ER, but it's supposedly showing up soon wherever).
I mean, I'll play those games if I have hardware to play them on, sure. The issue for me is actually finding a valid reason to shell out hundreds of dollars for a console, and multiplatform games aren't that. A console needs to justify its own existence with games made specifically for it before I'm willing to take that financial plunge. And unfortunately, Sony no longer seems interested in making anything that would interest me for their machines.
Right now, I'm not that hyped. Most of that is due to the pandemic setting them back last year, and me not having confidence that they've cobbled this together very well. I will be happy if I'm wrong, but I feel like this has all just been a big hodgepodge of chaos for the ESA.
