Another year, another E3, but this time I’m not at the show. Like the rest of you, I’ve been fixated on every stream and piece of information I can find. Overall, I can say this year’s E3 is turning out to be an OK show, but nothing altogether spectacular.

The motherfunking BATMOBILE! Also Elite: Dangerous and No Man's Sky.
Don't really know about worst of E3. Probably the CGI trailers with little to no in-game footage. There were lots of those.
Meh, I don't know. Destiny introduced some gameplay footage that looked really nice. Maybe you're feeling a little bit of that over-hyped vibe.
I kind of agree with you on the other two. Not because I think they're the worst games, but because I simply want more info. I was hoping that battlefront was going to be showing full-on gameplay footage.

Most everything else is wait and see for me.
You have the Witcher 3 and Dragon Age 3 on your "meh" list?! You either hate RPGs with a passion or are just plain crazy man!
Smile
No Man's Sky all the way, if there is at least some ground based combat in it to go along with that space combat...I am totally in it.
With Destiny, I think they just used horrible footage at the conference because what they showed on the floor the next day that IGN was playing...looked so much better.
Best:
Witcher 3
Metal Gear Solid V: Phantom Pain
Zelda
Splatoon
Yoshi's Wooly World
BLOODBORNE!<3
Assassins Creed Unity with campaign coop
EDIT: i forgot to mention Little Big Planet 3
Worst:
Assassins Creed male only coop.... seriously, Ubi? you wont force me to play male on AC multiplayer(coop) so ill probably pass this time.
I love RPG's but I hated Dragon Age 1 and 2. SO boring. The new one does look pretty awesome though.
If all Destiny is, is halo with new skin then that's just fine with me. I loved Halo 1,2, and 3. The thing is, it looks like more than just Halo with new skins, time will tell, but either way it's going to be a solid game me to enjoy as well as many others.
Battlefront 3 .... if it runs anything like Battlefield 4 then we are screwed - the game has so much potential but it's got alot of mishaps and Battlefront 3 most likely will have the same. Console can improve simply by limiting the number of players in mulitplayer to 40 or less. PC - servers always could use help unless they are run by the company and typically BF series has not been.

yea I know I liked a lot and could prolly add more to it
I really dont have dislikes lol
The good: Xenoblade Chronicles X was very impressive, same as Elite: Dangerous, Splatoon and EVE Valkyrie.
The bad: I was not impressed with all the same-same FPS shooters, rehashed and sequels. Looking at you Destiny.
The ugly: I really though that Star Citizen would have looked better for 40+ million raised and all this time in development.
i was really interested in The Order 1886 but after watching this video about the game im not interested anymore. Those devs have no clue about what they are doing. Disturbing....

Well, Battlefront and ME4 obviously weren't coming this year anyways. I was just hoping to learn more about them. Destiny was the only one I actually saw a ton of and still came away "meh" on. There's a bunch of really sweet stuff coming out this year overall.
Man No Mans Sky looks very interesting... That shit better be coming to PC!!
No mans sky does look bloody godo and it better come to PC..
Totally disagree with Battlefront being in the worst list.. hell even just the snippet of in game footage was bloody amazing.. I think DICE is gonig to blow everything out the water with this one..
Yup, definitely Elite: Dangerous and No Man's Sky for me too.
Those have the potential to last me for hundreds of hours. Heck, I'm actually spending a good bit on something like "Planet Explorers" right now.
I'm excited for the new Battlefront, but agreed that the snippet isn't much of a reveal. Of course we'll need to wait until next year for info on that.
That's true up to a point, they will need to put things in there that keep people coming back. But that's possible, look at Starbound: same procedural planets all over the place. But there are hidden fortresses, bases, powers that people keep looking for.
Of course modding is also a big part of that, which will be much more complex to do in this game. Still, it isn't impossible as a voxel based game like Planet Explorers has an ingame creator for 3D objects for example.
It also depends on how good their empire building gameplay is. That's something most of these games haven't yet perfected.
Feel free to use my referral link for SW:TOR if you want to test out the game. You'll get some special unlocks!
My List:
The Witcher 3

Best of E3:
Skyforge
No Man's Sky
FFXIV Shiva and Ninja reveals
Halo Master Chief Collection - I've never played the originals, not owning an Xbox all those years and this year I'm switching from Playstation to Microsoft, well because of this collection right here.
Worst of E3:
Nintendo - what is up with this company? Where did the company I remember as opening the door on in home video games go? Where have my Metal Gear, Metroid, Legend of Zelda, dragon warrior, Final Fantasy, Super Mario Bros etc. Nintendo soaked days of the 80s and 90s gone? /cry
Kingdom Hearts 3 - Oh, I want the game, badly. But the teaser for this...still nothing to show? What is with E3 this year and showing snippets of games that should be halfway done but seem to be just getting going?
All these stupid Dance games, gah, do people really buy/play these? I don't know anyone who does.
