Well I think we all know who won E3

All fine on my end.
It's coming and going for me
Yeah it was down intermittently for me for like 30 minutes.

NeoGAF and Kickstarter both took a dump earlier.

This day is the day of days. I'm still recovering from the hype overload.
Bro

This is the greatest E3 in history. Hands DOWN.

I fell to my knees. Was practically crying in the seafood section.
 
Hmm. Destiny has made it so that I worry whenever I think of RNG rewards, haha. I can just imagine games being lopsided because one team got lucky at some point and can call in things like the Mantis while I'm stuck with a Warthog.

Think it's going to be more like Titanfall burn cards, but for weapons and vehicles only. Some will be rarer than others, but nothing completely OP.

They'll downgrade visuals a ton. They have to. No way can 24 players, plus the AI on maps larger than BTB support all those explosions and vehicles. Unless 60 isn't locked and routinely hits below 30.
 
I didn't notice, what was different ?

Hm, have to take that back too probably.

I thought I saw a DMR on the ground with a different scope type, but upon closer inspection it looks like the standard one. There is a DMR with an holographic type BR scope in the UI though, which could simply be a mistake:

In the card picker thing:

It doesn't look like they are doing different scopes and stuff on guns. Although I suppose they could, I doubt it will be very robust.
 
The ViDoc did Warzone a lot of justice, looks like it will be a worthy replacement to Firefight/Spartan Ops. Wish it was Spartans vs. Elites, though.
 
Warzone will have a longer shelf-life compared to Firefight and Spartan Ops. Looks pretty fun too, everytime I watch the Vid Doc it grows on me.
 
lmao
You can flip the script, but you still gotta read the words. Sick burn

TJ Miller is a gift.

Welp. GG.

I can send in my resume if need be, at least until FF7 Remake is released.

Yeah, hopefully there will be plenty of maps and scenarios to keep it fresh.

Warzone (NOT WARREN FUCK YOU AUTOCORRECT) looks great but the card thing is sort of putting me on edge, sounds like an unnecessary complication.
 
The card thing is a little confusing.

So "Loadouts" are "Unlimited Use" but then you get one card (x1) for a BR in this screenshot, which is apparently "Uncommon"?

Maybe it's talking about within a match, like you can get a BR for however many BR cards you have, but you can only play one card per power weapon per match (so you can't go spawn, rocket launcher, respawn, rocket launcher, and so on)?

Probably get some clarification tomorrow after some people play it.

They really need to make it so we can play Halo Wars.

I need my fix. So glad I didn't sell it when I packed away my 360 now.

if the "big 3" from sony was supposed to blow me away.... ehhh

it didnt.

i thought MS stage show + Daily thingy were a better coercement/reaffirmation of the console
 
Warzone is everything i was hoping it would be. Burn cards aren't a big deal to me, and it provides another level of depth in terms of rewards that I've wanted in a halo game for a whole.

Sign me up day zero.

So, I was at work durring the vidoc release and have had a little while to watch it and rewatch everythnig from today.

And I gotta say I'm in love. Warzone looks like the fucking bonanza of casual fun in a mildly competitive environment with a neat reward system that will keep me playing for hours in between campaign runs and Arena goodness. And if I get sick of it, BTB is still around for classic objectives.

Halo 5 is shaping up to be the biggest and most fun Halo ever. I hope Warzone is half as amazing as the beta was and the campaign looks, this is day fucking -100 bad kid fat kid edition for me, 343, you've stolen my heart.

peep the level. you get the exp from killing and objectives, and I'm willing to bet requisitions are tiered by level. So even if you have the points or cards or whatever, you still have to wait until you're a high enough level to redeem it. That's just how it appears to me.

plus, the more special cards are most likely consumable, since you earn them in area as well as Warzone.

Don't worry I didn't find it amazing either.

The Last Guardian doesn't interest me.
Never been into FF.
Never played Shenmue 1 or 2.

However, I did find both Horizon and No Man's Sky to be great.

How old are you?

its insulting you think it matters, but im 24.

TLG looked a bit janky and unchanged from 2009

FFVII no gameplay release date or platform reveal

Shenmue revealed via token kickstarter? also coming to PC

Those didnt get me

Guerillas IP looked good, No mans Sky looks amazing (no idea about actual gameplay)
nothing else struck me


i also thought ms presser was a dud, but they made the console the star
new features, backwards compat, new ui, new optional controller

edit: exactly @forerunner
sorry but I thought Uncharted looked cartoonish at best, not even a molecule of realism in that fantasy
Im not trying to be rude, Tomb Raider is over the top, ofcourse it is, but UC was waaay over the top
its like they are parodies of adventurers, I blame COD

I watched the b-roll video and I'm disappointed at the fact there are no classic Halo sound effects in Halo 5. And the stuff that's in there doesn't sound cohesive or all that good.

Looks like Titanfall, alright.

It wasn't directed as an insult. I was genuinely curious.
FF7 came out in 1997, 18 years ago. So someone young enough to not have that, or the other games, be an impact to their childhood probably wouldn't be shitting their pants over it.

Me though, I have already gone through my supply of adult diapers.

Its actually a super fun mechanic in Titanfall. It works well there because the game is fast and frenetic and because getting kills isn't too hard. What I'd worry about in Halo is a scenario where you finally get to use your Spartan Laser card but then get wrecked by a surprise Warthog thus having your card go to total waste. That happens in TF but you have so many cards and its easier to get kills so you'll at least get one or two in before dying.
