In regards to Assassin's Creed 3, the French seem really intent on the American (only) market. All previews make me forget all those other times they insisted that the protagonist was neutral and would kill on both sides.

Nice to see yahtzee catch on to this pathetic obsession with showing FMVs to advertise games, a gripe I've had for the best part of 10 years. Amazon.co.uk are the worst for this. You click on a trailer for a game and you can guarantee there won't be a single piece of gameplay footage, especially if it's a Japanese title.
Too true. Yahtzee forgot to mention all the pushing your stabbing victims over after you stabbed them, some clenching of your left hand at random intervals an tossing the occasional grenade in the trailer as well.Elmoth said:
As for the art design well I glad to see they were able to really use so many vibrant colors for the environment. There are so many shades of grey that other developers simply overlook but not Bethesda. Oh no they fully embrace grey in all its expansive array of depth and splendor that it brings a tear to my eye from the sheer beauty of the greyness of it being grey.
E3 Exposes the shittiness the large publishers have made created in the industry.
I don't see a point in even having E3 around anymore if they do nothing but have the same trailers as they release to the net, just with really expensive, stupid stage shows.

My God, those initials on the van were one HELL of a callback. That was (looks it up) the Haze [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/93-Haze] review! He was still using other people's music back then!
Eh...he does know that Halo 4 showed us gameplay right? I'm ok with him not liking what he saw but it kind of annoys me when he says things about it that are flat out wrong. I mean look at this, around five minutes of gameplay right here.
He could have said that he didn't like it and I wouldn't have had a problem with it, but there's a difference between that and saying that it doesn't even exist.

well that was disappointing, i was expecting Yahtzee to be more bitter and jaded about E3 then i was
oh well .....
oh well .....
Hey man, you asked how, I told you. I understand what you mean but that is another view of the reboot that is held by many people in the industry and there is a reason for that. Just because you don't have a problem with it doesn't mean that other's don't have a reason to have issue.
Personally I don't think any judgement can be made until the actual finished project is out.

I am actually surprised that Yathzee didn't talk about all of the MMO-@@@ games that were displayed considering that several of those looked more promising then the AAA shooty mess that is MW, COD, and now DeadSpace3. I mean EON looks better then all that.
yes I get the irony that its a shooter.

Well, in his Deus Ex: Human Revolution review he called those things the "two inoperable cancers of modern action gaming", but he still mostly liked that game. I guess Watch Dogs does enough other things well. The hacking does look pretty sweet.aspherical said:
E3 episode, did,t expext that then I remembered he used to do these.
I liked the part about Dead Space being Lost Planet sequel, I didn't notice that earlier but it's really similar.
Other that I'm not interested in anything really, I tend to stick to publishers or franchises and search for info on my own rather than watch trailers for whatever is being hyped at the time.
I'm annoyed about that american pandering in AC though, in AC 1 both sides where dicks but no on cared, because nobody really identified with them but now its american revolution and all "america fuck yeah", hope it's only for marketing and the game won't have black and white sides.
EDIT:
That Watch Dogs game actually look kinda cool, the spying and hacking mechanics are awesome. I love the "probability of violence".

this may be just clinging onto hope pointlessly but i think the reason we haven't seen conner kill any Americans yet is because if they did that, you would get Fox News and all that bunch up in arms and there would be call for the Ban hammer ETC. Dose anyone really want to deal with all that?EvilPicnic said:I agree. I am totally cool with killing British people, but what we have seen shows Connor just fighting redcoats.Scrustle said:
One of my favourite aspects of AC1 was that you are fighting your own secret war, within the Crusaders vs. Saracens conflict and killing prominent members of both groups. It expanded what could have been a goodies vs. baddies concept into something more nuanced and real.
That's a fine line we haven't seen displayed at all in these trailers. Back to goodies and baddies I suppose
Second, Watchdogs looks amazing!
Im im not going to touch Lara for hitman. Iv had enough of talking and or hearing about sexual politics for a while now
I will say this However, the whole "to get the player to become a white knight try and protect her" why should I? just because she's a woman doesn't mean men should try to protect her when Evidently from the dear and fighting all the gun toating men (and how come all the bad people are men?) she can take care of herself. She's a strong woman why should I need to go and protect her? just because im a man doesn't mean im a disposable shield to protect women from all the bad things in the world. the whole "white knight" thing is offensive to men aswell as women and frankly needs to go away.
okay that's it, got it out of my system
What? No mention at all about XCOM: Enemy Unknown from Yahtzee, OR the comments? For SHAME people! Where are all the strategy game enthusiasts nowadays? xD
Only because it was of the few jems worth getting hyped up for... The rest are just homogenized fluffer material that fall in the pages before you get to the centerfold.The Artificially Prolonged said:
Don't get me wrong Watch Dog's looks like it will be amazing, but that's just it it looks that way. We wont know for sure until we are able to sink our teeth into it to be sure.
