Re: Thoughts on E3 and The Hobbit?

Sony did right by their consumers and deserve to be rewarded for it. They'll own this generation and that pleases me.

Sony taking potshots at Microsoft admittedly brought me an almost perverse joy, but a part of me is still sad that Microsoft didn't care about how invasive, insulting and poorly thought out their restrictions are. It's doing the exact opposite of what a huge majority of their fanbase want; if nothing else it's just bad business, but for me it hurts because I thought they had better sense then that. (No matter what you think of Microsoft, this whole debacle was shockingly bad.)

I love my 360 and have spent countless hours gaming on it. I wanted Microsoft to succeed but all they've done so far is fail spectacularly; it's all their fault too, and frankly they deserve it. (I do sort of think they'll lift some of their restrictions because of the outlash and what Sony is doing. But I'm not terribly tech savvy so maybe this is far more complicated than I think and it'll never happen, and if it does it could be years before it ever gets implemented.)

As for E3 itself, it's been better than I expected. Kingdom Hearts 3 was the biggest surprise in YEARS imo, and Square Enix finally brought back that one Final Fantasy that was first announced a million years ago (it looks VERY fun gameplay wise, so I might actually finish this one). Plus Beyond: Two Souls is looking better than ever and The Last Guardian is still in development (even if it's not being shown)... Then there's Metal Gear Solid V (which looks amazing and I'm stupidly excited for), Batman Arkham Origins, and Bayonetta 2 (YAY, even if I won't play it for years). The Evil Within looks nice so far, and Sunset Overdrive looks wonderful (wheee Jet Grind Radio with guns) so I wish it wasn't an Xbox One exclusive. Still, I'm looking forward to watching a walkthrough of it. Halo just makes me depressed because I've been with the series from the start and don't want to miss out on anything, but Microsoft screwed that up for me and tons of other players. That's just the stuff I remember...

So yea, E3 wasn't as awful as it could've been. Sony basically single-handedly saved it.

As for Hobbit: yes. Though TBH I love Legolas, CGI face and all. I just love Legolas. I do think it was unnecessary to touch him up so much and he probably would've looked better without it, but...I'm still happy about all that Legolas. And Tauriel is gorgeous and seems to kick a lot of ass so I'm interested in how she's going to fit into the film. Plus Thranduil, and dwarves in barrels, and Bilbo smiling among butterflies and Smaug being epic... It was a great trailer and I wish the movie weren't months away.
Edited (oops, completely forgot to mention Dragon Age 3; this is hilarious. Uh...I want it and Varric is hot but that trailer didn't do much for me. Next one will bring it, I'm sure.) 2013-06-12 02:54 (UTC)

I was pleasantly surprised by KH3 as well. I don't care much about Final Fantasy though. And agree about Sony saving E3.

And Thranduil was awesome as fuck. HIS EYEBROWS! Lee Pace is in the Zachary Quinto eyebrow category.
