I do feel like there's something wrong when I can buy RPGs like The Witcher for £50 and they give me hundreds of hours of enjoyment and games that are far shorter and not necessarily as entertaining cost the same.
Titanfall 2 for instance had a great campaign but I never bothered with the multiplayer so the amount of time I played the game for was pretty short. In that case I feel like I should have paid less or only for the campaign somehow.
Something like The Witcher or Persona I'd have been okay paying extra for because I got so much out of them.

1. Dragon Quest XI
2. Ni No Kuni II
3. Soul Calibur VI

Lots of others I'm looking forward to but these three I'd go so far as to probably buy Collector's Editions of : p

I really like betas, you get to try before you buy.
I've had some that sold the game for me and others that did the opposite.

I'm fine with this, Soul Calibur next year and hopefully DOA6 the year after. The full 3D movement in those two franchises has always made them my favourites out of all the fighting games I've played.
The DLC could have done with being a bit cheaper imo (for individual costumes, the season passes were a joke) but I liked that they kept supporting it and adding new characters/outfits.

I don't mind too much even though I'm really hyped for this game. I'll pick up Monster Hunter in Jan instead.
I just reeeaaally don't want it to clash with Dragon Quest XI

Can't wait! Going back to when they were younger seems like a smart move. I hope they can still somehow fit Hilde in.

Here's a short interview section on the game:

This is exactly what I want for remasters. None of this horrible looking Mobile Final Fantasy stuff or 3D Secret of Mana. It looses the charm of the original.

I have heard from a number of people that Fifa is broken but I think they still continue to play it.
I'm glad to hear they're altering the progression system for NFS, I'll wait for that to continue playing. Really it's the only thing holding back a fun game, hopefully it's not such a grind afterwards.

I bought a Switch with the intention of playing it at home. The portability was just an added bonus. However I've been playing it out and about more than I expected and the two built-in controllers work really well to just hand someone one and have a match.

This is surprising to hear but actually has me intrigued as to what they're planning.
I feel like it could be something new/unique.

Well it's been ages since the last Soulcalibur game and now Tekken is finally out that's likely what the studio is working on, right?
Plus it wouldn't interfere with Dragon Ball's sales if it's released late 2018 for instance.

If it is delayed I'm likely to pick up Monster Hunter... I suppose the more polished the game is the better.

Japanese audio would be a good fit for sure. I always liked how Assasin's Creed had the ambient dialogue in the natural language.

Plus I stick subs on my english games too. Just find it easier and never miss/misshear any dialogue.

I'm liking digital but they really shouldn't cost as much as physical discs do.
Need for Speed Payback I was all set to buy on PSN... It's £60 for the standard edition. I ordered it for about £45 from simplygames instead. Now I have to hope it arrives on time >_<

The only thing that bugged me was that it's kinda spoilerish. Like I will remember that scene and now I know whoever that was survives.

Violence-wise it's no worse than The Walking Dead so seems par for the course for this genre

Mario>CoD>Need for Speed>AC: Origins. It's looking pretty good for the next month to me : p
See what else Destiny 2 throws at us too

So wait for the inevitable complete 'ultimate' edition down the road... gotcha.

I always did like the 3D fighting games more. Hoping for a new Soul Calibur entry next. Plus DOA5 is finally stopping all the DLC so we might get a new one of those in the not so distant future. The Dragon Ball game does look amazing too.

Damnit, was going to play today. Wish we at least knew what exactly they were doing that needs the game to be offline. You'd think they could choose a better time to do it

I was pleasantly surprised to find Pokken Tournament has the exact tutorial systems i like. One where you progress trough every move your character can do and another with some combos to learn. In addition to tutorials covering the mechanics of the game.

I love the portability and playing local multiplayer with my Switch and it's two built-in controllers but at the same time I'd probably trade it in for a PS4 Pro/Scorpio level Nintendo home console so Zelda etc could have looked mind-blowingly good.

I really want there to be a cheaper, without-the-free-games PS+ option.
Like it's either cheap games I don't care about or great games that I already bought. There really is no way to win, I'd rather feel like I was't paying extra for them when all I want is to play online.

I'll try it if it ever comes out in the UK...

I was playing it when it went down and have plans starting when it goes back up >__<
Kinda annoying the Destiny app didn't mention the maintenance : /

Well I bought it digitally instead of physically this time around.
Plus I imagine a fair few people are waiting for the PC release...
Also yeah fair enough a good number of people bought Destiny 1 and were disappointed by it.

Definitely want this game after how much I enjoyed Memories of Celceta but will have to see how my Destiny addiction is going when it's released...

Kinda conflicted on this. I love the Mana games and have been saying for ages they should remake them but this looks kinda horrible so far : /
Wish they'd put some budget into it like the FF VII remakes.
Or stuck with pixel graphics like the original but modernized so the game didn't lose it's charm... And that voice over, please have a toggle off for that.

That was an annoying way to end the trailer.
Reminds me of the racoon thing from Guardians.

Oh awesome. I was waiting to see what the limited editions for Ni no Kuni II were... I loved the Wizard's edition of the first game with the book.
Bit weird how we got a plushie last time but not this year in the EU : /
Vinyl isn't of much interest to me, I'll buy the CD version of the soundtrack separately I guess.
Which leaves do I want to spend an extra £110 vs the standard edition (at shopto.net) for a very nice diorama and an art book. Oh and the season pass. Why does this game have a season pass? : / I'll have to do some research...

Oh and GAME have the Prince's edition exclusively in the UK >__<

I had no idea a beta for this happened. It's one of those game I'd want to try before buying...

Hell yes, Ni no Kuni 2 and DQXI next year. Imagine if we get the first FFVII game as well...

I really think they should have two options, one cheaper just to play online and one more expensive with all the extra stuff that might be hiking the price up (Since we've finally started getting decent free games).
The only thing I'd pay for is to play online, everything else is just an extra that I could do without. Can't remember the last PS+ game I even bothered to play, I have enough games to try and keep up with as it is.

If there was a cheaper option without the monthly games/discounts etc and just for online I think people would opt for it.
£50 is high but I play online so have no choice but to pay it...

£10 a year is a pretty big jump with no justification given...
Not like we have a choice if we want to play online. Can see more people waiting and getting Destiny 2 on PC instead of PS4 because of this...

Aww man, this is my most anticipated game. I wish they'd not given the original release date if there was a chance it would be delayed and left it as 'TBC 2017'. Now I'll have to move that week off I booked >_>

I think they'll stick to the £350 price point. When the available tech for a noticeable leap is available cheap enough to pull that off then they'll consider it.
I think most people are happy with the quality of PS4 games at the moment anyway, don't see much reason to rush another Gen out when this one is going so well.

The assassins creed origins deluxe edition preorder is on offer to about the price of the normal edition too

Ah great. I'm never going to have time for any other games am I >_<
I quite liked having breaks and coming back for each DLC

I feel like if this is coming out this year we'd definitely know about it by now. Bit of a shame but oh well. The 3DS version could complicate things, adding another two versions of the game to translate and check. I wonder if the dialogue is identical between it and the PS4 versions...

Destiny 2 beta and keep going with Persona 5 until Uncharted hits

Destiny 2 and Ni no Kuni 2.

There are loads of others I want and am really looking forward to but those two are my priority and I'll be spending a ton of time with them this year.

So many other notable games for me:
First Assassin's Creed game I like the look of since Black Flag! Need for Speed looks really fun.
CoD is going back to what people like.
Battlefront has a campaign and free DLC.
More Uncharted is always good
Ys VIII I love the combat, hopefully the story and characters are good.
First new 3D sandbox Mario game since Sunshine! and can't remember how long it's been since the last 2D Metroid game I played.

I don't like the Nintendo Direct method at all. Lacks the audience reactions and emotion.
Too much talking obviously isn't ideal but Sony's this year felt lacking without some. I quite like how Ubisoft do theirs.
I also had no idea Sony had shown stuff off before the conference, that bugged me. I tuned in for the time they said... Make the Conference longer if you've got too many games to show off.
Similarly, Nintendo should have announced the 3DS metroid during their main show, not the treehouse thing. Go into detail after the show but at least give us all the announcements together so those of us watching get all the news...
And there's got to be more than just a logo to show off, even if it's a logo plus someone talking about what they're planning for the game. Sorry to keep bringing up Nintendo but their E3 bugged me the most. We don't even know who's making Metroid Prime 4. Team Ninja again after Other M?

I have only heard people complain about indies. Especially in relation to PS+ and how they're all we get.
Now they complain about Sony not showing off more?
I can absolutely see the majority of viewers switching off when the indie trailer reel comes along.

For both Days Gone and Detroit, have Sony confirmed they're coming out in 2018 now? I believe both were originally slated for 2017.
Or since they didn't give a release date at E3 for either, does that mean they're definitely not coming this year?

Apart from Drive Club?

Anthem - Best new IP/unexpected surprise, the flying and the world look amazing and I can always use more fun co-op games.

Ni no Kuni 2 - Looking forward to this so much, the first game is a big reason why I went Sony instead of Microsoft this gen.

Shadow of the Colossus - This looks so amazing, the game is fantastic and deserves another remake, for a second I was wondering if it was a sequel but it'll be incredible seeing all the colossi in high fidelity

It makes sense, just give us an expected window for release until closer to the time and update that if it gets pushed back. It seems a odd not having a specific date for Detroit yet if it's mean my to be 2017 though, I'd like to know if it's been delayed :/
Days gone as well, I'm sure I saw that's Aiming for this year?

I was happy with Sony's conference. No complaints here.

The Pokemon and Metroid 'reveal' was the weirdest E3 moment I've had yet though. I should have been so happy at the news, and I am, but it was given in such an... offhand way.
Sony's FFVII, Shenmue, Last Guardian Conference was fantastic, Beyond Good and Evil 2, really well done. Give us some gameplay and keep us guessing at what we're being shown...
These two games being revealed should have been among those sort of moments with the whole audience applauding but instead we were just told they were in development and given a logo... No cheering or explaination/detail, just onto the next video. And the next. : /

I felt like the beginning was really strong and Spider-man ended it with something amazing. I'm glad they're putting a bit more effort into VR though I wasn't too wowed by those games.
And well, I wasn't that keen on Days Gone when they first showed it (didn't think it could possibly live up to TLoU) but the 2017 E3 gameplay sold me on it. God of War as well, this trailer was better than the last one and I know I want it now.
Detroit I already knew I wanted day one, same for Uncharted.
Spiderman is making Xbox users jealous, it's that good.
Shadow of the Colossus was such a surprise and looks phenomenal, one of the best PlayStation games ever.
I know someone that is so hyped for Monster Hunter, that was a great surprise after the series had been stuck on Nintendo for ages.
I was looking forward to seeing the CoD Multiplayer trailer and more Destiny 2.

There are so many games I want to buy now it's unreal.

Some things were missing that people expected, like From Software and Sucker Punch (and for me personally I'm waiting for a new Soul Calibur, or DOA to be announced and a Dragon Quest XI release date) but I think it was a pretty solid showing.

Nintendo on the other hand just now, they dropped two bombshells in Pokemon and Metroid for the Switch and didn't even have any images or trailers or anything! No audience reactions or clapping since it wasn't a real press conference. Felt like it should have had way more impact. : /

I try to remain objective. The console should be good, much like the Ps4pro I like having games look/run better. £450 is going to be pretty steep for most people when it like the pro is just a mid-gen option that runs the same games.
I'm really glad Xbox didn't reveal any exclusives I personally am jealous of, unlike Titanfall and Sunset Overdrive back when the Xb1 launched. Anthem looks fantastic.
Did they say anything about timed exclusive content for anything? I was telling my friend if they stole Destiny away from sony we'd be so mad : p
