Rabbids Kingdom Battle looked quite different to what I expected, and it looks fun. I'll pick it up depending on reviews - I'm worried about potential low difficulty in a Mario SRPG.

Beyond Good & Evil I#'m excited to see back, but I want to know more.

I liked Ubisoft's conference. The pirate game looked fun too. I thought it was a pretty good showing all in.

I thought something similar about Rabbids Kingdom Battle, but I think even if the difficulty is baby level, the game itself could still be cute and fun. I pre-ordered it today. I detest rabbids, but I love anything Mario, so I'm willing to bite the bullet on it.

Curious to know what folks thought of that rabbids game post reveal.

I'm honestly not sure. I didn't have any idea of what kind of game it was, and seeing its a modern XCOM like strategy game was the last thing I expected. At this point, I'd have to play it to make a call. As long as it is varied enough and doesn't drag on pointlessly, and brings on some Rabbid humor, I'm all for it unless the gameplay fails somewhere.

From what they showed, it looked like the battle was at the very beginning of the game and the combos and jump mechanic looks really interesting. I think we will have a fleshed out and in depth strategy game that parents can play and enjoy while their kids are watching and laughing along. We will see though!

Did anyone ever play Rabbids Go Home for Nintendo Wii? I heard that one was pretty decent.

I'm not interested in the Rabbids game but it looks fine. Just not for me.

That GI Joe BJ is incredible.

Oh damn...

I just realized the EA conference blew over with nothing on Dead Space again. Guess it really is still dead.

I mean I just beat System Shock 1 haha. So yeah, I shouldn't have said it's an age thing there. But I don't like Wolfenstein's looks and graphics. Some people hate Doom because it's too "maze like" which I never agree with, but I can totally see it with Wolfenstein. Too bland and boring for me.

The last one was The Old Blood which was kind of an expansion to The New Order. I agree it wasn't nearly as good, not to mention the final boss was a huge pain in the ass.

I'm glad BJ is back.

I agree on both your points about the modern titles. It really is an expansion and not a very good one. I got fed up with it around the giant walking mechs/canal area and just put it aside and forgot about it until I sold the PS4 games off. I figured as insanely well the first one did, it would get a real sequel and not a crap pack only so I intended to wait on a sweet Steam deal and snap them up on there since I already paid once full price.

Now I'm motivated. That Wolfenstein Old Blood was an amazing fun ride for me, not like most FPS's in a long many years with slim few exceptions withstanding.

...and I get it with the boring bit, Wolf3D is best in doses, not hours of play these days. You have to be in a mood. I have it on GoG but I also have the skinflint cheaped out version for GBA where they went with a lower cost ROM and removed the beautiful music of the game leaving only the sound effects. I've played old Wolf3D so much I can still hear the tunes in my head though.

And WOW on that huge 60s style GIJoe figure. Tempting, and almost never do collector's boxes tempt me.

Speedy: Then they're arrogant jerks if that is worth a chuckle on Switch, very uncool. What they're doing with that game for a portable system is quite very well done. Too bad the PC elite can't handle something under like 1440 or better quality with a few hundred frames per second smoothness to keep them euphoric. I got over caring about petty crap like that ages ago. If it runs 30 or 60fps solid depending on the title and at a basic HD (720 or 1080) level I see no reason to get jerkish about it.

If it's Intelligent Systems, then I'm totally down for another X-com style game from them. They already showed they could do a good X-com style game with Project STEAM, but now they have an IP that hopefully people will actually care about Xp

I actually didn't care that much for Codename STEAM. Never finished it. It wasn't bad, don't get me wrong, but it always felt kind of just okay to me.
