Great piece Push Square, one of the best ive seen on this site. Honestly, to institute a refund policy, there would be many scumbags who abuse it, but there is just as many people who work hard for their money that might deserve a refund. No Mans Sky is the perfect example. While I did enjoy the game, the game is NOTHING like it was presented to us in bullshot videos over the years. Forget about the Sean Murray lying fiasco. Just look at these videos and tell me you have seen anything even REMOTELY close to being that awesome in the game. I do believe Sean and his team did their best with good intentions, but these videos we were shown do not even remotely resemble the game and the fact that they refused to talk about any features of the game prior to release ... example its nothing but a grind fest, was even more mis leading to the hardcore gamer, I cant imagine how fooled the average Joe and general public was.
@Gamer83 wouldn't that be more reason to stick with sony? This guy is not hideo kojima. He will likely move on to some indie game that nobody cares about after a day....
Lol why can't he make games with sony? Anyway Sony is so far ahead I'm sure whoever takes his place has a cake walk. Especially considering how long games take to make, the next year if not more is already mapped out
Does Capcom have any resident evil games left to remake? Resident evil one was remade twice, then we got resident evil 0 remade along with 5 and 6. Resident evil 4 is one of the best games ever, I had it on gamecube, ps2 and ps3, and here we are again. Capcom is bleeding us dry instead of producing new content... obviously I'm well aware of the new game, but it will likely be a 10 hour if that game since it's fully vr. Blah, I'm not buying this unless it's like 10 bucks. What would be different from the ps3 version I already own?
We need to stop buying all these remakes and force publishers to invest in new content, now if you'll excuse me I just got borderlands 2 remake on psn sale lol
Eh there is a difference between a cowboy walking in a bar and shooting it up and soldiers shooting soldiers in series that are known for nothing else. I still find it strange that they ended with days gone. I believe somethinGod else was there, even if it wasn't red dead. My initalics feeling was last of us 2 teaser but maybe they pulled it because show was so strong...
I thought Sony had its best showing ever. No indies, even though they have taught me to like some of them, anything that looks like it can be played on an nes doesn't belong on stage.
Ubisoft wasn't as strong as usual and Bethesda was doomed after last year's phenomenal showing.
Sony first party was strong enough to make this a great e3 for me.
1. God of war
2. Horizon zero dawn
3. Death stranding
4. Detroit become human
5. Dayes end
6. Dishonored 2
7. Watch dogs 2
8. Mafia 3
Last guardian
10. Resident evil
The hate for watch dogs is ridiculous. It was a good game, maybe it didn't deliver all that was intended but it was easily a 7.5 out of ten maybe better. People act like it was filled with bugs and broken. Hating watch dogs and ubisoft in general is the hipster thing to do.
I agree, worst yet other games have adapted it. I couldn't finish ac syndicate, first one ever and I still haven't played far cry primal and I platinum ed the last two far cries.
Of what I saw I'm thinking watch dogs will be the only game they showed using this format, however they did manage to sneak it even into the crew.
Either way based on games and new ips alone they are much better than a d minus.
I didn't watch ea because they don't have a single game that interests me but it's clear nobody liked it.
Bethesda would be a c. At least they showed something new. They were doomed, no pun intended following an excellent showcase last year.
Ubisoft would be a c plus. I'd give it a b if not for all the stupid interviews, we don't need someone to introduce every game, that's what the rest of e3 is for. Still they are the only one pushing as many new ip as Sony and taking risks. Plus aisha is fun.
Microsoft is a b. Honestly their best yet, I was nervous Sony couldn't top. Releasing an Xbox slim shouldn't be praised. That machine should have never been so big to begin with. Also who wants to buy a slim if another console is coming next year?
Sony is an a. They killed it. Perfect pacing, kojima, release dates, and awesome games. I love Lego games but didn't think star wars deserved show time with so many other games we've heard nothing about. Also strange to split up days end, should have just been 1 big segment at the end, made it slightly anti climatic.
Sony obviously won but the biased is obvious here. Ubisoft was long and unnecessary but they did show a lot of good games and are one of the only companies consistently pushing new ip.

Re: No Man's Sky Is Finally, Finally Finished on PS4
I'm waiting for reviews. I'm still not convinced that there is actually anything interesting to do after a couple hours of play.

Re: E3 2016: What Was That Death Stranding Trailer About?
It probably won't even be in the final game

@Vineleaf
I think last year was highly over rated, I think this year is brilliant though. However I don't care about final Fantasy or persona...
