| Well, The Lab was a collection of well-thought-out VR tech demos. Nothing was more than 10 minutes long, but more than anything else, it clearly showed that Valve still has master craftsmen working there. Two years later and no one’s topped their Xortex shooter idea, nor the astounding tech on display in Robot Repair. So I’ve got a bit more enthusiasm for whatever they crank out next. They’re absolutely the most likely company to release the first killer app for VR, because they seem to have a better grasp of what to DO with it. So many VR games currently just mimic flatscreen game types, and that’s not what’s going to do it. |

Darks! My wife and I will be at E3. We were gifted free passes, but we aren’t sure if they’re Press or Public passes, which apparently determines what time of day we’re allowed to be in there. They’re from an ESA employee, so it could easily go either way.
I’ve never been to E3, not sure what to expect. I do plan on finding the side hall that the indies tend to get stuck in, as waiting in a line for 2 hours to get 5 minutes of playtime on a half finished fame isn’t exactly my idea of a good time.
Has anyone on here been to E3 before? Any tips for preparation? |

Why is Hellblade on the top 10? Didn't it come out months ago? I've heard it's a pretty good game but, what made it so popular now? Did it go on sale or something?
Yeah, it’s a good game, one time thru. It’s been on sale before, must have been a deep discount to get it on the top 10. |

| The 1180 won’t matter if it doesn’t come out with enough stock that miners don’t make them impossible to get. I’ve got a couple friends who want to get into pc gaming but not at the stupid prices the high end gear still commands. |

Mm, lets start with your Butcher comment...no one expects butchers to cut people with a cleaver. But I bet when YOU look at a cow, and a butcher looks at a cow, you’re not seeing the same thing. His job absolutely informs his perception.
As for Aaron whatsisname, I wasn’t aware of any of his other outbursts. I had assumed this was a one-off, as the article linked didn’t say anything about the other incidents. I was giving him the benefit of the doubt (due to being uninformed, admittedly) that maybe he’d been having a terrible day/week and having difficulty with the restaurant employee broke the dam. But yeah, the guy is a piece of shit. |

I’m surprised that the restaurant has the non-English speaking employees in a location where they’re required to interact with customers. If the restaurant’s primary customer base speaks Spanish, then this isn’t odd at all. If nearly every customer speaks English, then the people they interact with should as well. The Spanish speaking employees shouldn’t be deported, but they probably should be moved ever so slightly to a position where they don’t have to talk with customers.
They were talking to customers that also spoke spanish. It's midtown Manhattan, half the people there speak a native language other than English.
So ok, then he’s just being an entitled asshole, but he IS a lawyer. It’s their job to convince people that they or their client is entitled to something. So while it’s shitty behavior, it’s also exactly what people want him to be like most of the time when he’s working for them. I’m not excusing his behavior, but I do think that his attitude is probably a bit skewed by what he’s expected to do daily. If you think YOUR attitude isn’t skewed by your job...you’re lying to yourself. |

This would be nice if I could simply play my Steam games EVERYWHERE without being connected to my home network and without my pc running them. It should be a streaming service by Steam - this would really make sense and give Steam game buyers additional benefits. But this app is only interesting if you want to play some TBS game while taking a shit or sitting outside, but close to your house.
I don’t find it particularly useful either, but I also don’t have a significant other who insists that I watch shows I have no interest in with them. I have a friend trapped in that situation, and he somehow willingly married this person. Now, nearly every night, she demands that they spend “quality time together”, which somehow always means doing what SHE wants to do, which is watch garbage tv shows. He piddles around on his phone, but cellphone games are almost all junk. So this would be great for him. He isn’t the only person on earth who isn’t allowed to use their computer in the name of “being social”, and being forced into doing something only the other person is interested in. |

You have to watch a two minute ad every time you launch the game.
Haaaaa
It's funny because someone at Activision is prolly already trying to make that happen.
Also, if you want a great single player game, The New Colossus is fanfuckingtastic, aside from a bit of a letdown of a final battle (mostly, because you don't realize it's the final shootout). |

The main news out of E3 I'm looking forward to is Cyberpunk anyways. And hopefully Nintendo does a Direct and shows Metroid Prime 4 or a new side-scroller like Zero Mission, Super Metroid, Fusion, or Returns.
Oh god I hope CDPR shows Cyberpunk, that’d be worth the trip right there. Anything else is icing. |

| While it’s always a bummer to see a studio go under, this one was no surprise. The “Xtreme early access!” on Radical Heights was an obvious desperate last shot. Hopefully the devs will find work elsewhere. |

Can’t wait until they spend two years making a quarter of this game into a VR version, which they’ll sell at the price of the full size game. I say this, while admitting that Superhot VR is pretty goddamn awesome. It’s just SO short, while being incredibly simple. If they added a way to import levels, people would build all sorts of crazy scenarios...but then they couldn’t turn around and make a sequel like this.
I can’t decide if I love the game or hate it, apparently. |

This seems like the first step away from loot boxes, although I don't think they are disappearing as part of this revamp. Seems like a more predictable way to earn free items with game time, and some targeted, time limited things to buy for cash instead of buying keys to gamble or spend on the trade exchange. A compelling alternative to gambling seems like a healthy thing.
Agreed. Also, with a season pass, like a subscription MMO, people feel compelled to play, to “get their money’s worth”. This helps keep the player count up, which will help sell...more season passes.
I really enjoy during up RL once a month or so, but I can’t see paying for a season pass. I’ve happily purchased some of the cars, and rolled super lucky on my first and only loot box, got a car. But I’m not gonna pay for something that expires, since I absolutely don’t put enough time into the game to get anything. |

Wonder if this even works on some of the static roll weapons (always the same perks)? I’d love to swap out a couple lame ones on my Noble Launcher, although it’s still the best goddamn weapon in the game now once you learn to aim it properly.
Considering how rare some weapons schematics are, this will be nice for weapons that handle nicely but have shit rolls. No one wants “bonus damage to afflicted”, Epic! |

Well, I’d rather have seen some Wolfie 3 stuff at E3, but this will do, since they clearly have fixed the engine to work properly.
Gonna be my first and prolly only time to go to E3, so I’m hoping to see some awesome shit. |

New GPUs are still a long ways off? So is my system upgrade apparently...
MOST GPUs are back to normal price. The top end AMD and Nvidia ones are still $250 overpriced tho. A 1080 is quite the wrecking ball of a video card tho, and they’re at or below MSRP. |

Well the GPP didn’t happen overnight. It probably was in progress before Vega was released, as a countermeasure to a possible true contender...but it turns out AMD didn’t have anything. Nvidia’s likely very close to announcing their next big thing, while it feels like AMD blew their load on Vega. GPP as an insurance of a sort is no longer needed. Besides, didn’t Asus already announce its two separate gaming lines? That’s likely already deeply cost-embedded into the manufacturing, so the damage is done.
None of this will make me consider an AMD card. My top-end purchase every couple years will be fed to the infinitely hungry VR machine, while its castoffs go into my mortal gaming rig. AMD simply doesn’t have the muscle that machine demands. |

This sounds cool, and reminds me somewhat of Ghost Master, but man, I'll be glad when this crap art fad goes away, where everything is as basic as possible.
Yep, gotta agree, it looks like trash, visually. If it looks like a little kid drew it, I’m gonna assume that’s who the game is for. |
