View Full Version : TGT's Guide to E3 2018
So far, I only want 2 games. AC Odyssey and Anthem. Kingdom Hearts 3 is a possibility. Skull and Bones was high on my list until I learned that other players will be in my game attacking me. Hard pass.
I’m waiting to see if Nintendo drops a new Fire Emblem this year and if Animal Crossing is announced. Those will be my top 2 games if both are shown in the Nintendo Direct.

To be fair Skull & Bones was always offered as a PVP game. It's the same as For Honor. I'm not sure that the game would work as an offline only game. However, in For Honor you could choose to play against live opponents or against the cpu. Your teammates would still be humans (which you can mute and not talk to). That way you can control the difficulty.

I was hoping for something along the lines of AC IV: Black Flag which I’m sure was the blueprint for this. I’d be cool if it were Co-op only akin to Anthem or Mass Effect MP but if I’m gonna have to deal with other people attacking me for my plunder, I rather not play that.

I'm not sure how that will work itselt out but I'm not sure this is a game where people can come and steal your stuff. I'm assuming it's more about you battling on the seas for plunder against another team. If you win you keep it. I don't see a situation where people can take that away but I'm not sure.

Yeah, it’s still unclear and I hope to be wrong but that’s the impression I got after the squad teamed up against the ship won in the gameplay presentation.

I jumped on the XBOX Game Pass for $1 so I can try Sea of Thieves and form my own opinion on it. Figured that was the best way to do it.

I knew Fortnite would be available today.
Super Mario Party looks fun! I think by the end of the year I'll have a Switch.

Every single fighter that ever appeared in a Smash Bros. is in the new Smash Bros. Impressive.

A LOT of talk on Smash Bros. (as expected). Almost 30 minutes on it I think...

Yeah with an almost 3 year old I'll probably bite at the end of the gen or switch 2 as a way to introduce videogames.
A fairly large hole Sony/Ms both have is young child friendly games
In all honesty, how long can Nintendo keep milking the same franchises and largely the same games every console generation before people get tired of it?

That’s not a Nintendo thing. That’s an industry thing.

Yep. We're on the 15th Call of Duty, the 11th Battlefield with 13 if you include the Battlefield: Bad Company series, the 11th Assassin's Creed (if you including the smaller games like AC Chronicles, Freedom Cry, etc, that bumps it up to 16 games), we're on the 8th Fallout, we're currently on the 6th main Ghost Recon game with Wildlands. If they ever announce a new Splinter Cell, that'll be the 8th game of the series. The Elder Scrolls has something like 7 or 8 main games in the series. We're up to 15 Final Fantasies now, not including the multiple spin-offs.
Gaming today seems to be 30% new games and 70% remakes/remasters/sequels.

It's an entertainment thing. Hollywood is WORSE.
The budgets for these games/movies is so large now publishers aren't going to risk money on developing new IP when they can just crank out the 1000th comic book/star wars movie or rehash a previously successful "guy" movie and just replace the cast with women. Etc.....

All of the above, exactly right.

Hollywood is the worst. Not just with sequels but freaking reboots. Halloween is now on it's second reboot of the original.

Something else to chime in with what the others have said. Unlike the yearly sequels, Nintendo Franchise are not tossed out yearly. We may not see another Zelda or Mario this gen or it will be at the very end of the Switch lifespan. It took fans almost a decade to get Nintendo to bring back Metroid. Which was a very successful first party game.

I did not get to see EA's presentation but Dunky came through with the epic LOL for those who missed it. (starts at 1:25 to 1:45). Welcome to America!
