Boss rush could be cool, people liked titan souls a while back. Content just for paddings sake is bad

Why is the PC gaming show so early this year? The last couple of years it's been in the middle of the night, and so boring that I fell asleep both years.

yeah except the whole boss rush thing didn't get revealed until like a year later and well after it was hyped to hell and back, so everyone thought it was some slick 2d platformer.

Star Citizen has produced one valuable tangible thing. The bbq grill in my back yard I bought by selling a $300 equivalent of a tie fighter for $1200 to some idiot

I was also idiot for backing the game in the first place

There's actually a secret cabal to ensure that Freespace 2 is the last great spaceship game ever made.



They haven't had to target Star Citizen yet though because it's just kinda collapsing on its own.

I hope they are giving Cuphead the time it needs to meet those expectations and that they're given the creative control they need to do it. I'm pessimistic about that though.

Also if Star Citizen is at E3, I am gonna watch the hell out of that if they do a live demo. I love watching their streams and occasionally dipping into its ludicrous drama and kinda-admirably geeky dream of making the ubergame AND MOVIE a reality. It won't happen, but it's fun to watch when nothing's going on.

Other than blatant e-ship peddling I wouldn't expect anything fun from star citizen, they have to keep their powder dry for citizen con

I wouldn't be surprised if they just showed the logo and maybe a picture of Master Chief.

You can't really fault them for going all in on Master Chief at this point when that whole advertising battle gimmick they tried to do around the release of Halo 5 went south really quickly in terms of "PICK A SIDE MASTER CHIEF OR LOCKE?!" and it was overwhelmingly in favor of MC.

If House of the Dying Sun was way longer it'd easily be a contender to dethrone it. As it is though it was just enough to get my space ship blood lust up but not long enough to be really satisfying.

If you're having trouble, just find your time zone on the left and then run a greasy doritos finger to the right across your monitor in a straight line to find the times. Next time you open the chart, line it up with the grease stain again.

Maybe last Ubisoft conference ever. Vivendi preferred to have their games featured in the Microsoft/Sony conference rather than host their own.

Huber's a good boy who enjoys videogames a lot. Even if I don't agree with some of his opinions, I still like hearing his thoughts.

Yeah I'd love to send them a video saying how much I loved playing Phantom Dust, Steel Battalion, Shenmue 2, and Metal Wolf Chaos on my OG Box but only one of those games exists on Xbox One and not in a capacity they would like to be reminded about.
