PC gaming show starts in 15 mins. Limit your expectations though, it's always pretty quiet

For once, Ubisoft couldn't save E3.

Which ties into the running theme: unless the project has had a troubled development for years or is the last sequel out the door this cycle, everyone seems to be moving on to next gen in their minds.

People who have played Assassins Creed Odyssey say its pretty much the Origins engine, upgrade tree, items, etc just reskinned with 2 new PCs and set in Greece during the Peloponnesian Wars. So if you really liked Origins and played all the DLC, you'll probably want Odyssey. I really liked Origins although I haven't yet finished the DLC, but the main story is pretty much like every post AC4 game - starts out really strong, gets pretty grindy in the middle, and ends up being weak and a bit neutered/unexciting/mostly forgettable.

Still a lot of mainstream titles that you can pick up anytime and fill in the niches that other companies seem to not work too hard on anymore. Division 2, AC Odyssey, more R6/For Honor stuff, The Crew 2 (out in like 2 weeks), whatever that dumb toy game is, Skull and Bones, Mario Rabbids DLC in June, Trials Rising. Nothing that really excites me but I'll play Crew 2, AC Odyssey, Division 2, and Skull & Bones for sure.

Be interesting to see if Sony has anything up their sleeve, everyone else has been fairly blah so far. We do have Spiderman, RDR 2, Hitman 2, Tomb Raider, DQ11, and Fallout 76 coming this holiday so its a pretty good game lineup.

It'll be interesting to see how Sony takes it, Nintendo too. This gen seems so much younger because of the mid cycle upgrades.

I might give division 2 a shot as well as skull and bones. That’s about it. GameFly. Won’t be paying full price.

I fully expect Sony to save E3.

It's Factorio 3D, but I really like Coffee stain games, Sanctum was as cool as fuck.

Factorio was one of those games you'd end up letting your kids starve to death over losing track of time.
