Hey guys its @scooter1010 and welcome back to another weekly discussion thread you know the one where we ramble on alot then you respond with how much you hate us talking and we laugh and cry and then game together
This week's theme is:
E3 2018
What did you think of e3? Was it what you expected? Was it more? Was it less?
Feel free to comment below and share what your favorite part was!
Bonus author response to start us off
Okay so we all know now that e3 happened (what you didn’t… do you live under a rock?!?!)
ok so you do live under a rock thats ok we all needs to start somewhere ill recap a little below
So we got some fallout, and a new elder scrolls games which is amazing.
We got a release date (again) for kingdom hearts 3 (not holding my breath)
And an utter disappointing Sony e3 where the only good thing (besides kh3) was Spiderman
And now for the meat and potatoes of this post
NINTENDO yes you read it right the company that seemed to be on its last leg pulled off a hail Mary with its switch console and now we are seeing the fruits of it with an AWSOME!!! E3
First we started with an AWSOME looking mech game called daemon machina that seems very interesting to play.
Then followed up with a super Mario party game (so hyped for this)
After we got an update on octopath traveler which demo is out as of 6/14/2018 you get three hours of demo
And paladins has been released for the switch as well as fortnight
Note on fortnight if you use psn on your fortnight save you got to start over (boo!! Sony)
Minecraft bedrock is coming to switch, this version is the one that links to pc and xbone (again boo Sony for opting out)
And then the big one came, the one we all have been waiting for, pokem- just kidding Super Smash Bros ULTIMATE
Every fighter ever in the game has been released in this (yeah that’s right All of them)
Free dlc (good paying for fighters was stupid)
From what I understand every stage is on here also
As well as daisy is her own character rather than a skin of peach
And ridly and inklings have joined the battle
All your amiibos work for this (literally ALL of them)
and the game cube controller is going to work (assuming you need the game cube adapter from wii u)
This is going to be awesome when it comes out however I fear this is also the last one, and they wanted to go out with one last hurrah and give everyone a game that will live on for generations
We also are having a new Pokémon game for the switch (YAY) and they are starting back in kanto as a remaster of yellow (kind of) as well as a pokeball plus (with the “rare” mew inside)
I don’t think it’s a complete remaster as the aloha Pokémon are in it so more of a new journey with a new trainer hopefully some mention of red (ash) is in it as it can’t be as red
Also how the heck can you include the rare mew in the pokeball you know the one of a kind look under a truck to find mew like is it going to be limited edition first wave only or literally just going to give everyone a mew
The pokeball plus the older gen should remember is similar to the pokewalker from heart gold and soul silver where you put a Pokémon inside and shake I mean go walk around and level up your Pokémon that is inside of it but a bonus of the plus is it also doubles as a pokewatch plus for Pokémon go
@Cytowarrior did an amazing review on this series as well as the pokeball plus so go ahead and check him out at the links below

I've been under a rock...
I did hear about the new Fallout though, and I did also catch the Octopath Traveller news as well, so my rock did have a few holes in it.
Looking forward to both, especially the new Fallout, I've been a fan since the originals. Although, I did bounce off the last one with the settlement building. I saw a mod the other day that automates that, so maybe I will give it a second chance.
Octopath Traveller I've been watching at the bottom of the coming soon list in the Switch store for ages. I am deadly curious about it....
EDIT: I just saw the E3 trailer for Cyberpunk, I've been wanting this game to come out for ages!
a rock with a few holes i love it lol
the fallout honestly i feel it is gonna be more like eso but fallout themed
the fallout mods u need a modloader now steam shut down the workshop page for it sadly
octopath traveler i literally downloaded the first demo and was like well i got nothing to play lets see how bad this is and fell in love with it grab the demo you get 3 hours of in game playtime based of your save data time and it transfers to full game
Thanks for the tip about Octopath, I'm doing that as soon as I get home!
Overall, E3 was a bit of a sleeper. There were a few things that really caught my attention, but the majority of it could easily be overlooked.
The big deals for me were the details about The Division 2, Doom Eternal, and Gears 5 getting an announcement and trailer. Those were the things I really, truly cared about.
The best thing to come out of nowhere was the announcement for Metal Wolf Chaos XD. Seriously, I've wanted to get a copy of the original, but it's ridiculously expensive. It's one of the rarest games on the original xbox. So to see it get a US release is a big deal!
And, of course, Andrew Wilson is a lying scumbag. don't believe him (or EA) for a moment.
There was a lot of indie games that I feel got brushed over that looked awesome. Like Chicken Bomb
I thought this E3 was kinda weak.
Microsoft was okay. Sony was mostly band practice. Nintendo, while Smash was a hard hitter, other than that their presentation was kinda lacking. Most of what they showed were games we already know about. Sure, we got Super Mario Party and Fortnite. But that isn't really enough. I think more 3rd party releases would've done them good as well.(Where's Spyro?)
I CAME WITH NINTENDO'S SHOW, IT'S EVERYTHING I WANTED. Except for some Metroid Prime 4 which I think everyone of us wanted but smash made it ok with Ridley, lol.
