The gameplay for The Last of Us felt like a movie. I'm excited about the game but we'll see once it comes out and I see some more gameplay vids by non-devs.

As much as I like Uncharted, cover and shoot mechanics need to be functional with every console game.... because learning to aim on a console is retarded compared to a mouse and keyboard. So, if I'm forced to derp to shoot my enemies, I fully expect them to derp in return... that won't work very well would it... have people derping around trying to aim and generally sucking a dick..... yes, cover and shoot mechanics are a must for any console shooting.

And you simply cannot ignore the setting.

I used to feel the same way about console controls for aiming, but i've gotten so used to it now that I'm just as accurate with a controller or a mouse.

I think my favorite console aiming was in the Metroid Prime games, the first two mainly. The lock on feels a little easy at first, but constantly snapping between targets as I mow them down gets pretty satisfying once you're used to it and as the enemies get tougher and faster it works really well.

Hey Bioware, thanks for not saying a damn thing about the ME3 ending DLC and instead focusing on shitty trans-dimensional platform shit for SWTOR. Did you guys not get the memo that Zen was the worst part of Half-Life? Have you yet to notice how you guys cannot do trippy shit to save your lives (see: The Fade from Dragon Age, the geth consciousness from ME3).

Dicks.

Dear Valve,

Fuck you for not announcing Half-Life 3.

Another year, another E3, no Half-Life from Valve.

:(

Also, for some reason Watch Dogs gave me a strong Assassin's Creed feel. Maybe it's because Ubisoft's sticking with what they know, or maybe it's a similar engine, but I kept expecting the player character to suddenly shank someone with his hidden blade.

It's the slow, purposeful stride.

Could be it. Might also have something to do with the "hiding in crowds" feel.

And yeah, I agree with everyone boggling over Ubisoft having the best offerings. Did you know I boycotted Ubisoft not long ago? When they made AC2 have always-online DRM? Now I have every single Assassin's Creed game and I'm definitely planning on getting AC3.

DAMN YOU UBISOFT!!

Valve can't count to three.

Half-Life
Half-Life 2

Half-Life 2 Episode 1
Half-Life 2 Episode 2

Team Fortress
Team Fortress 2

Portal
Portal 2

Left 4 Dead
Left 4 Dead 2

Stop hoping for a Half-Life 3. It just isn't in the cards.

Half-Life is exactly like Mass Effect and Valve is exactly like Bioware, got it.

Can't wait for Valve to get purchased by EA and go fuck all with everything they do in that case.

I'm actually super excited for the WiiU! I don't love the name, but I think the console is really neat (hope to try it out at PAX) and love the look of the Pro Controller. Actually, REALLY excited for the pro controller so that you're not just stuck with using a Wii controller.

Last Of Us looks amazing! Holy crap, smart AI?? :confused: Don't own a PS3, but it might finally be time to pick one up soon. ...although we did just buy a new 360. Anyway, there's enough games that I'm interested in now for the PS3 that I'd like to have one, also bluray would be nice as I'm lacking that here too.

I'm also really interested in The Unfinished Swan. It really seems like my kind of game, and I'm kind of bummed that I watched so much of the gameplay, because I feel like I know too much about the game already! I would've loved to have discovered it all on my own.

Halo 4 has my interest since I've been playing through the series.

Paper Mario 3DS!! I LOVE Paper Mario. Super excited for this one!! And the other new Mario game too! <3

I think that's all I was excited about. Never played any of the Lara Croft games, but the new one looks good.

Word of advice, wait until the game is out and there's hand on accounts of the AI from players before buying anything... making an AI look smart in a trailer (or having a boss chop off a barbs head, i'm looking at you Diablo3) is way easier then actually doing it...

Y'know, I do have to say...For some reason, Half-Life 2 is cosnidered to be the end-all be-all of games for a WHOLE LOT of people. Even ignoring whether or not this is true, there's the problem of expectations. Expectations for Diablo III were so high that the game, despite being very good, is viewed by many fans as "not what it should have been". I think Half-Life 3 is the same. I think it's quite literally impossible for Valve to actually live up to the expectations of fans at this point. Episode 3 would theoretically be more manageable - but there they'd have to pull some REALLY amazing shit out of their hat to keep people from saying "it might've been any other mod". I think they're right in not making a third installment. They can't win.

I'd guess Bioware would like to go back to pre-ME3-release reputation if they could. Businesswise, "gambling and losing" isn't a winning strategy. "Don't gamble, always take the sure path" isn't, either - but it's a much slower death. If the company collapses *after* you've left, you win. Therefor, in a business environment, at high levels, most people unfortunately prefer to drive slowly towards a cliff and let the next driver fall down into it, rather than try to soar over it at breakneck speeds...and risk falling into the chasm.

Life lessons for kids =/= the way most high-up business people conduct themselves.
Of course, I freely admit I'm one of those never-dares-to-make-a-move, worry-and-feelb-ad-about-roads-not-taken-afterwards people. 'm aware it's not a good trait. :(

Unfortunately, the model of successful business has been 'don't rock the boat' for so long that it's been legitimately described as a sound business strategy.
