  • Oculus Rift

    Quote from FrieChamp

    Yea this is going to completely rely on word-of-mouth and trying it out yourself in a store or at your friend's place. In the case you mentioned, personally, I have a bigger problem getting excited about VR in games that are not first-person.

    Exactly. Two of the three titles they showed off were third person, unless there's some clever twist on it them I'd say that's not exactly the best way to sell and communicate the best sides of VR early on, but maybe it's an antiquated point of view that VR has to be in first person, I donno.

  • Oculus Rift

    Cool, but man they have the (obvious) problem of making VR seem really hot and really selling it when you're watching something like this in 2D. I know the something like the EVE Valkyrie demo is probably absolutely incredible in VR, but it just falls a bit flat in a presentation like this.

    Anyway, I'm ready for dis shit. Probably gonna end up being an "early" adopter and get 1st gen one, just to fuck around with it in UE :)

  • The Martian - Trailer

    Quote from (HP)

    That's why when I go to movies, I avoid going too early, specifically to avoid watching trailers. If I have to go early to save a seat, I typically either look away or walk out when they play a trailer for a movie I know I already want to watch.

    Yup, I'd love to be able to avoid trailers entirely, but in a lot of cases then it is kind of a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation, since you might not know that you might actually want to see a movie by avoiding the marketing entirely.

  • What are you playing now?

    Been playing Splatoon for a few hours and holy crap this game rocks! Really satisfying to run around get everything painted and try to keep the opposing team balanced out, with the close calls (as in nearly 50/50 of the top down map being both colours) with incredibly exciting end of match score counts. The motion control aiming didn't really do it for me tho, though I appreciate the idea

    But of course Nintendo nails shooters, tho it's not really the shooter part that's so great about it

  • Fallout 4

    Quote from (HP)

    The fuck guys... Am I the only one that absolutely loved that trailer? Considering the scale of the game, it looks really good too!

    Naw man, I'm hyped! Can't wait to see what they'll show at E3~~(and whether it'll be a 2015 title :O)

  • Fallout 4

    5 hours and 30 minutes O_O

  • E3 hype!

    Yusssh~~Hah love all the text at the bottom, guess after that fake countdown a few years back then they're trying to make it clear that it's real (tho anybody could probably write all that stuff on a fake site, eh :D)

  • The Witcher 3

    40 hours in and finally went to Novigrad, still extremely impressed by it, love the amount of depth that pretty much all of the side quests have, some really impressive story telling to be found there. Also quite liking the combat, happy that I went with the next hardest difficulty~~

  • XCOM2

    Given that they knocked it completely out of the park with XCOM Enemy Unknown (and did some really cool stuff with Enemy Within as well), then I'm definitely going to give them a lot of chances, and again then it is a tricky job to create a follow up to XCOM.

    Hell, just look at Terror from the Deep, that was an attempt at keeping it within the roughly same fiction as the original but trying to mix it up, and it really didn't deliver in any way. Hopefully they can mix things up in a meaningful way and not be too weird or feel necessitated to change everything just to seem fresh.

  • XCOM2

    Now I get that I'm probably extremely hard to please when it comes to XCOM/UFO and I really wanna wait until they've actually shown it off properly, but as a first reaction then this direction looks really unappealing. I always loved the entire setup of you having to defend earth in a somewhat contemporary setting, and changing it for some covert ops future setting with the aliens having taken over earth is just so far away from that that it looks like a completely different game, tho I totally get the tricky situation of having to make a sequel to XCOM that doesn't just feel like a reskin (tho doing the same game again with more locations and procedural levels would be fine for me, lols)


    Anyway, I'm an old idiot who is way too nostalgic about the original XCOM, so I should probably just calm down for now :)

    Those screenshots really don't look too hot either, tho procedural levels sound nice :)

  • E3 hype!

    Yup, Bethesda's press conference is definitely the one I'm most interested in. If (when!) they show Fallout 4, then it better also be with some gameplay instead of just some CGI trailer O_O

    Anyway, I have a feeling that this is going to be a good E3, last years was probably one of the weakest ones to date, but it makes sense that this is the time in this generation for some larger 1st party titles to be revealed.

    Also taking the Tuesday off so I can stay up all night and watch it all, gonna be great :D
