I'm gonna have to pick this up again. I played it at launch, enjoyed it, but found it too big and long and got distracted by other games. Now that I have about 2 months before Borderlands 3 releases, I'll probably pick up AC Odyssey again and finish it. Really enjoy the combat and open world of the newer games compared to the earlier ones.

My prediction: The game will be very, very linear, with more cut-scenes then actual gameplay. It will have zero customization and multiple quick-time events. It will be squarely aimed at kids.

Of course God of War is #1. It wouldn't surprise me if GoW was also best racing, multiplayer and indie game. OK we get it, GoW is your favourite game, but half the games on this list crap all over GoW's graphics. Detroit, RDR2 and RE2 easily beat it.

Nier Automata is my number one. It's just so different. Its a mix of genres all in one game, and the ending hits you hard. (The true ending, not the first ending )

I could never get into the Witcher 3. Yes it looks good, but I find the story drags on and the combat ain't as fluid as other games. I prefer Horizon Zero Dawn personally.

Bot Ross gave me a reason to buy.

Been wanting to pick up HZD again to play the DLC. Will def grab it next week. Top game.

I reckon this will be a very linear, but cinematic game. As others have said, it probably wont' be a Spiderman or other superhero style game, with upgrades and freedom. I bet this will be a cut-scene heavy title with small spots of combat and free movement. One for the kids, not the fans.

Graphics are one thing, but if the gameplay is not there, the game is useless. I'm more interested in Cyberpunk's setting and gameplay than anything else. Witcher 3 didn't grab me because I don't enjoy medieval-ish settings. Yes it looked good (back then) but its got nothing on Zelda BOTW. That game proves gameplay over graphics. Hopefully Cyberpunk will play well and keep me interested, and not just look pretty. Ghost of Tsushima also looks good because of its setting. It could have average visuals compared to other big games, but if the gameplay is there....it could be something special.

Nintendo won easily.

Combat was great, but the rest of the world activities were boring. Once you finish the story there's not much else to do besides clean up the side missions, which become a chore very quickly. I don't see how adding a new expansion pack and group of enemies can make this more interesting. Sorry Bethesda, i've given up on RAGE 2, and i'm not coming back.

Rumour is that it will also include Rogue One and Solo. Cant wait, LEGO SW has always been the best of the LEGO games IMO.

"A new way to play, complete freedom in your game choices."

• Every new game announced at E3.

Meh. 20 seconds of soft electronic music does nothing for me. I enjoyed Wildlands but this looks like a new map and enemy type upgrade to me. Nothing special.

This game was a disappointment for me. The only thing to blow up were enemy bases, while the rest of the settlements only had driving/wingsuit challenges. A big difference to the chaotic fun that was JC3. Too much focus on the one or two tornadoes on the map.

Sounds fun. Might pick it up once i'm finished with Rage 2, LEGO Movie 2, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Uncharted 4........

I'm only about 90 mins in but so far so good. Very Mad Max-esque with plenty to upgrade and collect. Still has that Rage 1 vibe, with collecting random junk to sell/upgrade. If you enjoy killing, collecting, upgrading, and killing, you'll have fun.

If the game wasn't so long I'd pick it up. Sounds like they could of halved the play time.

Since the Borderlands 3 gameplay reveal I've been back into Borderlands 2. Can't get enough of it.

GOW had good graphics, but not the best. Horizon, RDR2, UC4, Detroit, all had better visuals IMO. Can't wait for the "GOW is the best game/visuals/audio/multiplayer/racing game" to end. We get it, you're God of War fanboys, but admit defeat when it comes to it

Is it supposedly to be available to preorder now? There's nothing on the store.

As much as I love the Borderlands series, I feel that this is a rushed and sloppy release. It could have been handled better, unless Gearbox is planning something else.

@daveofduncan This is what's going through the back of my head. A surprise release.

Borderlands and Portia for me please.

I'd be happy with October. With the remaster coming out in 2 days, plus Rage 2 and other soon-to-be releases, it gives me enough time to catch up on these and other games.

Doesn't bother me really. I don't own either game so I can't complain. And I'll also be too busy playing Borderlands 1, Generation Zero and Yoshi's Crafted World.

Finally! At least we'll have Borderlands 1 to kill time.

@LiamCroft I joined a random session the other night and after about 2 hours the host left and I got booted. When I reloaded my game all progress was kept. Not sure if this is supposed to happen or I just got lucky. Can't complain really.

There definitely room for improvement in most aspects of the game, but I don't see it any worse than Anthems decaying game or Fallout 76's mess.

As soon as I read "explosive, experimental, and action-packed nature of Just Cause 4's Solís", i knew this review would be off. JC4 was one of the most boring and worst games of last year, both in performance and gameplay. This game is a better end product of what it is meant to be.

Generation Zero's world is supposed to be empty and the reliance on markers for quests is just hand holding these days. Time to use your brain and look around. I've spent an hour searching for a certain clue to a mission but in the end I had walked past it 5 times because I had not read the previous clue correctly. I wasn't angry at the game for showing me where it was, I was slapping myself in the forehead.

It's not meant to be a non stop action packed game, and because of this its sets the mood of being what its supposed to be: teenagers with little to no experience fighting robots. Yes the gunplay is clunky but IMO it adds to to realism as everyone can't be a Captain Price. You also have to get out of the run and gun mindset where every other game makes you invincible. I was getting killed easily and quickly until I started playing smart and sneaking around robot patrols, only taking them on once I had planned an attack with flares, explosives and guns.

I do agree that the inventory system is clunkingly bad and needs fixing to make it more streamline, but other than that I'm enjoying the game immensely. I was a bit unsure for the first hour, but after finding clues and getting in the mood of being in a bleak and lifeless world, I really began to enjoy the game for what it is. Something different than all the other predictable shooters at the moment. Also when you jump into a 4 player co-op game it makes it more believable.

3/10 is a harsh score. I'd give it a 7/10 personally with room for improvement in certain areas. Plus its almost half the price of most new release games.

I've had NMS since launch, and while it was disappointing, it's only gotten better every update. This game has been screaming VR since day one. I'll definitely be jumping back in for a fresh new game.

@jacobia maybe a VR option will be included in the game!?!?

Insert extreme happy face here

My guess is a streaming service, where you can stream to any smart TV. And you download games to the controller, (prob from the steam library only), which is this actual system/console. Also Netflix, YouTube, etc will also be streamable from the controller. Just another Ouya/Virtual Boy, etc, except this one captures all your personal data and WiFi settings.

I don't care if its a remaster or a reveal, just give me more Borderlands!

Totally forgot about Firestorm. Haven't played BF5 for months. Might try it out when it comes.

Can anyone confirm if this plays similar to LEGO Worlds? I watched some gameplay on YouTube and it seemed there was lots of little menus and choosing certain objects to build, more than just breaking and building with the one button. I enjoy the simplicity of the LEGO games, and found the LEGO Worlds game to be less fun.

I purchased an Xbox One last year, as i passed my Xbox 360 onto my son a few years ago, and wanted to try a few MS exclusives. After about 2 months of playing State of Decay 2 (which i enjoyed the most), Sea of Thieves and Forza, i ended up selling the console. Why? Because i found that those games weren't holding my attention like the PS4 and Switch games do. Plus 90% of the other games are also available on either Sony or Nintendo's platforms. MS really need to do something special or different with the next console. IMO the Xbox One had the worst dashboard and console performance of the all the systems. Moving around the dashboard was slow and always delayed, as was the internet connection. And way too many ads.

I just couldn't finish FC5. You were repeating the same quests three-fold, and by the time I'd beaten the second sibling I was over it and couldn't do it again. This setting looks interesting, even though its just the same location with a new splash of colour, but i can see myself getting bored real quickly. I'll wait for FC6 or FC7 or whatever the next installment is called.

Agree with those that have already said it, i wouldnt call TLOU a horror game. Thriller/drama yes.

RE7, Alien Isolation, and RE2 would be my top 3. I couldn't even finish RE7 in VR, while Alien has the most tense momenta in gaming, and RE2 brings back the good old jump scares and gore.

Finally got to download the demo, been waiting weeks/months to try it. I first played Tetris on the original GameBoy back in the 80's, and thought how can this version be so special since everyone is raving on about it. All I had to play was the first level of the demo and it hooked me. The audio visual elements intertwined into the gameplay is something special. Easily one of the best VR games, probably equal to Astrobot, and even one of the best PS4 games period. Instant buy.

@jly1987 fair enough if designing and making your own game, but when making a popular and established franchise such as Battlefield, its a bad idea to replace gameplay mechanics with money making ideas. Spit out an unfinished game with missing modes and maps, and of course you won't make sales. I enjoy Battlefield V but it still feels incomplete for some reason, and not just for the Battle Royale mode which I'm not interested in.

So greedy. If EA listened to their fans or even let them design the game, they'd probably sell double the amount.

Got an invite but not sure if I'll download. The only thing scarier than being chased by Mr X in Resident Evil 2 is a system crash before you get to save your game at a typewriter.

I played the closed alpha last year and enjoyed it. Didn't pre-order the game but will definitely buy once it comes out. I can see it lasting longer than Destiny as there seems to be more variety with gameplay, enemies, and customization.

"The vast majority of the team is hard at work envisioning future experiences, enemies, and ways to play the Guardian you've been building since 2014."

So in other words, rinse and repeat for Destiny 3: same enemies, different colours.

I don't remember signing up but received a code yesterday! Oh well, guess I'll try it out.

I wonder if the game comes with a built in step counter?

Please be true. The Borderlands franchise is one of my faves, and this will keep me busy until Borderlands 3 is released. A remaster instead of a port would be nicer.

I played the closed alpha and actually enjoyed it more than I thought. Felt like I was playing as iron man with a gun, with the flying, hovering, shoulder mounted rockets, etc. The world felt more open and alive than destiny, even though most parts were closed off for the demo. This one has potential if they give you enough customisation and gameplay variety. But then again EA has a way of f'ing things up, i.e. Battlefront 2.

No other game hit me emotionally like RDR2. It was a sad story of failure, one which you couldn't prevent, but then ended with a story of redemption and even more sadness as the credits rolled, knowing what the future held for certain characters. GOW had a cool story, but to me had no ups and downs as RDR2 had. It had its moments but it never hit me emotionally. I just felt it was a story of a disappointed father and revenge. As others have also said, GOW is a tad overrated to me.

@Marios-love-child same here. I'm waiting for a demo to try out before handing over full price.
