    Do you only look at the blockbuster triple A titles and then make that your image of video games?

    There's a few titles that I'll be looking at. Not the best E3 for me though so far. Still time and still lots of information to filter out.

    Dunno if they were actually announced at this E3 but Bastion and From Dust look cool. Part of my point is that you can't look at E3 keynotes and then go "yeah that's all the games coming out". There's other venues, other developers, and things not mentioned in those press conferences. Maybe a lot of indie games and whatever else is out there aren't for you either but you kinda just seem like you're being a drama queen over press conferences.

    Nothing blew me away because everything that got press time I already knew about before the show started, and everything new was a stupid Kinect/Move game or, in the case of Microsoft, it was Gears/Halo number 353463634634 that I don't care about. That said, there is a ton of games coming out this year that I'm looking forward too, but they just are not getting press time because they are not the big shooter all the cool kids like, and that's all these dam companies want to talk about.

    that new Brother in Arms game looks kinda cool.

    Far Cry 3 looks insane. Have I told you how insane it was?

    erg Aliens Colonial Marines? Kinda pumped for that.

    that Muramasa/OdinSphere developer new game with big boob/butt ladies looks kinda nice

    Adventures of Young Lara Croft makes the wait for 2012 unbearable.

    I wuv game developers. They are kinda cool & overworked people.

    This is bullshit, sure some could come up with a more unique idea but they can not make a viable game that is actually fun.

    What he said!

    Just because you have a 'fun' concept doesn't mean you can turn it into a full fledge retail product.

    Overstrike, Far Cry 3,, Band of Brothers, Luigi's Mansion.

    Also, dude. You actually thinking that any one of us here could seriously develop a game ourselves better than anything out there just speaks to your ignorance of games in general, which is why I'm not surprised to hear that you "left". You clearly have no respect for the medium.

    Does MGS count? I know it's not new but it's the only announcement that made me go "hey, I might buy that."

    It was a pretty unexciting E3, but Hitman Absolution is something I'm certainly looking forward to. I'm also excited to see what minecraft will look like on the xbox, will this be coming out after beta is finished or will it just be a completely different kind of thing?

    Dark Souls and Skyrim. It's not tough to be excited about either.

    If we're talking solely unannounced titles, I'd say the new Pixeljunk "game".

    maybe gamings just not for you any more.

    While I don't think we need a new Halo game yet, I'm still pretty excited about Halo 4, it's the only FPS I'm still interested in playing.. Nintendo had a lot of good announcements too, Lego City Stories finally looks like an evolution of the Lego series and a Smash Brothers sequel is always big news, even if there was nothing of it what so ever.

    This is the most popular fallacy amongst forum-level game criticism, that a game has to be "new" with a unique premise or genre or mechanic, otherwise it's shit etc. In all forms of cultural production, nothing is new and almost everything is recycled. To pretend otherwise is to delude oneself. Isn't it enough for a game to be fun, well-told, and mechanically well-executed? Innovation is an ideology, not an unquestionable value.

    Buy a puppy and pick up 'walking the dog' as a hobby, instead of gaming. Problem solved.

    If I need to name a game. I'll chose Dragon's Dogma. Capcom's take on Demon's Souls. Like Demon's Souls meets Monster Hunter meets drop-in/drop-out co-op. Extremely sexy. Look at these videos...
     
        
            
        
     
    Modern core gaming doesn't get more core than Dragon's Dogma. It's everything core gaming has to be. That's nerd-gasm material right here. If this doesn't move you, better pull the trigger on your gaming life.

    QFT. Innovation is overrated. Books are still written on paper and they still rock. The language of writing games is much younger and has still a lot of growing to do - true. Doesn't mean a well-written 2D platformer ain't just as entertaining as it was back in its heyday.While we can expect gaming to innovate at a much higher rate than any other media, it's not a pre-requisite for an enjoyable gaming experience.

    I was going to suggest playing golf or taking up scrapbooking, but you'd probably just complain about the lack of innovation there.

    Battlefield 3.

    Massive fan of the Battlefield series and I played BF2 religiously. A sequel to that game is the only game I need.

    This edit will also create new pages on Giant Bomb for:
