So far so good. E3 is showing us it's going to be a great next few years to be a gamer. What have we seen so far? Well, let's see here, we've seen the next Assassins Creed:Revelations, Far Cry 3, Gears of War 3,Star Wars The Old Republic,Torchlight 2, Dead Island,A new MMO called Neverwinter,A new Tombraider, Battlefield 3,Modern Warfare 3 and of course Uncharted 3. All in all, it's enought to keep this gamer salivating for the next several months. Personally, I'm still waiting on Blizzcon for more Diablo 3 news.
Out of that whole bunch, I'm most excited about Dead Island,Torchlight 2 and Uncharted 3. Everyone is all hyped for Skyrim but i stay reserved after Oblivion, wasn't much of a fan, it was good but something felt lacking.That being said, I think the winner will be Dead Island, it looks very promising. It's like a cross between Fallout,Farcry and Dead Rising. You can't go wrong with that combination, if you don't believe me, check out this awesome clippage.

You know what I felt Oblivion was lacking?
ReplyDelete...wait for it...
...excitement. That's right - I went there. I've played Oblivion to death and as much as I like the game, it is really, really redundant. Eventually you just get so used to the grind that you start playing on autopilot. Every encounter, cave and Oblivion gate starts to feel the same after a while that you end up getting bored and rushing through what little story there actually is. Morrowind felt like it had a more compelling story, at least. Let's see what Skyrim has to offer.
And how can you write about E3 without mentioning Dust 514! Sheesh, don't you know CCP is the greatest MMO developer of ALL TIME? I may be biased though.
