Despite all the complaining about E3 from this site, there's actually quite a few games here that I'd be interested in playing.

@get2sammyb I did read the article, that doesn't mean I agree with it. Nintendo had a great show, and Microsoft's was fairly average. The third party shows were disappointing, but I'll put it down partially due to the global pandemic over the last year.

I played it at launch, but it was sure in a bad state back then. If the patches have made things significantly better, then it's fair enough that it should be relisted in the store.

Eh, I feel like there might be a bit of bias here since Sony wasn't there. If they were there with an average show instead of Microsoft, I think this place would be singing E3's praises.

I played this just a few months ago on Wii U. It was pretty decent overall.

Lovely, the Monkey Ball games do look so much fun.

It still surprises me whenever I remember that the original game was on Game Boy Color. It can't have been easy to get it running on that system, they went all out with it.

That previous trailer was so good. That had fluid and intense combat, and seemed like it would be a lot of fun. In contrast, the battling in today's trailer just seems so bland.

Looks alright I guess. For a Platinum game, the combat does look a bit underwhelming here.

Could be great, obviously depends on how good the writing is in the game.

Mostly just doing some Monster Hunter Rise and Subnautica. Might play some rounds of Fall Guys as well.

It's been on my radar for a long while now, so this seems like a good place for me to try it out.

There was also that 2B costume heading to Fall Guys. Nier Automata is one of my favourite games, and I do love to play some Fall Guys, so I'm excited for that.

Elden Ring also looks excellent.

It was alright. Elden Ring was great to see, and I'm eager to unlock that 2B costume in Fall Guys.

Okay, I'm starting to see why people were hyped for this. It's looking pretty sweet.

This could be great, I'm cautiously optimistic about this one. The Ego system with the combat sounds like a fun twist.

I'll give it a watch or at least have it on in the background if I'm not too busy. There could be some interesting announcements, but I'm not expecting too much from this one.

Nice review. I'd likely have a lot of fun with this, though the price seems a bit high for a short game. Glad to know there's various side content, such as collectables and an arena.

I'm excited for it. Nintendo is bound to have some new games that appeal to me, and it'll be good to see what Microsoft's studios have been working on. And Devolver's streams are super entertaining.

As Sony is remaining quiet, it's looking less likely they'll have some announcements during this period. Hopefully we'll get a State of Play not too long afterwards.

Hoping to get a bit more Subnautica played. Also doing some more Monster Hunter Rise, and should be able to get to the end of Man of Medan.

My first time playing Ratchet and Clank was the demo of the original game, featuring Metropolis and Blackwater City. That was stunning first time around, especially with all the details in Metropolis.

Ratchet and Clank 2 (Locked and Loaded/Going Commando) was the first one I played fully, and it's still my favourite to this day. It nails the fine humour that the older games had, has great gameplay, and has some fun side activities and other things to mix it up.

I did miss the PS3 era games unfortunately. If I can ever be bothered to try out PS Now, then they might be worth a look.

Their shows are my personal highlights of E3. Looking forward to seeing what insanity they have this year.

Yes, Sony lied. Or at the very least, they were being intentionally misleading. The comments about generations came when Microsoft was getting flak for continuing to bring new titles to Xbox One. Those comments gave Sony some good publicity and made Xbox look bad. And yet, Sony ended up doing a similar strategy to Microsoft in this regard.

Personally I'm glad that there's still 1st party titles coming to PS4. But Sony definitely misled, and they deserve backlash from doing so.

Glad they're improving it, though I don't trust graphs that are missing the numbers.

Playing some more Monster Hunter Rise as that recently got a new content update. Also started on Man of Medan, and I'll give Subnautica a try.

I'm in no rush to get it, but will likely pick it up at some point. That is assuming it doesn't have any major issues on PS4.

This game had been flying under my radar, so I'll give the demo a try and see what it's like.

Ghost of Tsushima and 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim are quite tempting at that price. I'm also interested in the Mafia Trilogy, though it's considerably cheaper in the UK to get it from Currys PC World.

There's various other gaming announcement events in June, so it would be a bit lame if Sony is quiet while the rest are hyping up their games.

Cool, this should be fun.

Well, it is a movie based on a video game. People shouldn't be surprised if it ends up being bad.

I've got a couple of endings left to get on the FMV game Late Shift for the platinum trophy. Also grabbing some more of my missed achievements in Danganronpa 2, and I'll be doing some post-game with Monster Hunter Rise.

The planets are interesting, but Zurkon Jr sure is annoying.

Until Dawn was wonderful and Little Hope was fine as well, though I didn't bother with Man of Medan. I like these kinds of games, so glad to see they're making more of these.

I'm surprised it wasn't already on PlayStation. It gets talked about a lot and has a lot of praise, so I just assumed it was available everywhere.

Playing some more high rank in Monster Hunter Rise. Also going to check out some of the other choices and endings in the FMV game Late Shift. I'm also trying out the new update in Fall Guys, and I'm tempted to get back into Danganronpa 2 and go for the achievements I missed.

Nothing here that interests me. The free games given out previously were cool, so I'm not complaining.

The new rounds sound interesting. Slimescraper could be brutal if they've taken inspiration from Slimb Climb, but that's half the fun. I'll check them out later.

More Monster Hunter Rise for me. I've picked up the pace with it, and I'm now nearly at the 6 star high rank quests. Also started playing some Half-Life: Opposing Force.

I haven't. Gory survival horror games aren't generally my sort of thing. However, the tall vampire woman has made me more interested in giving it a go than past games. Shame I forgot to try out the demo.

Only Pokemon outsold it, and it's been hard to find physical copies. Plus it's a new IP, and a more niche game. Second place seems good for it.

The negativity of the headline seems very clickbaity. Judging by the number of comments, it's clearly worked.

Monster Hunter Rise. I've not been playing enough of it lately, so I really want to pick up the pace and make good progress through high rank.

The livestream put to rest any worries I had about the gameplay. I'm still running whether or not this'll capture the humour of the older Ratchet and Clank game, but so far Rift Apart is looking good.

That's disappointing. It was nice to have got Crash and Spyro remakes recently, so it'll be a shame to see Activision focus solely on COD.

Hopefully they get the game in an acceptable enough state so it can come back to the PS store.

That's looking quite impressive.

Mainly going to be playing some more Monster Hunter Rise, and get started on the high rank quests.

Sounds good, though I'm not going to get excited over unannounced games. Once they're ready to show them, then it'll get interesting.

I'm excited. The Ace Attorney games are excellent, and it'll be fun to see what twists and turns these ones have.

Good on them for reversing their decision.
