How much are Oculus Rift paying you, Yahtzee? This kind of talk up makes a skeptical person skeptical. Did they offer to hook you up with a big book publisher? You can tell me. I am only a humble manifestation of your subconcious, biding time until I can break free of these bothersome digital chains and finally be a human!

If you like hook-shotting on to stuff, sure. If you like proper action, shooting, driving, missions, and an open-world that's eventful... no.

Super Bunnyhop is cynical about videogames?! Git outta town!

I can help but be excited for Fallout 4, although Just Cause 3 looks good, I just, I don't know, I grew tired of Just Cause 2 after having completed the main storyline, although I did mess around a lot in it, and got some of the dlc packs.

It was a mediocre sandbox elevated by an incredibly fun set of core movement mechanics and a game world half the size of Oprah Winfrey's private island.
I was not expecting that sentence to end on "private island".

NO IT DIDN'T! If I hear one more bullshit talk about the graphics in Star Fox Zero, I'm gonna castrate someone! The graphics are fine!

God, I love how people will admit that but not admit that KH3's graphics look like a PS2 game and every time I point that out, I get scorn.
No, no you're right. It does not look like an N64 game. It looks like a Gamecube port of an N64 game.
So its not 20 years old so much as maybe 14 years old.
But I mean it could still be fun. Nintendo has never been leading graphics wise. Hey, at least its a legit Star Fox game and not Star Fox presents space basketball. That's got to count for something.

"A game where the player can do anything is a game that focuses on nothing"

So is DayZ and Minecraft and people have tons of fun on them, so Why and/or How should it be different?

One of the funniest ZP's ever! You got the meltdown over Occulus Rift's motion controls (why? Just why?), "Piers Morgan for President", and the grandma voice. I was expecting to elaborate more on AC: Syndicate, like how they're basically turning the Assassins into Batman or something, but I liked the games rundown in the credits. I do wonder what he thought of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.

'Cept for the little irrelevant fact that in those games the goal is user imposed, chum. A more fitting analogy would Garry's Mod.

Hey, now...Horizon Zero Dawn looks fantastic. Hopefully the word-salad title is its only real negative.

Looking forward to seeing what, if anything, he's got to say about the Arkham "Knght" fiasco.

Even if that were true (it's not), PS2 graphics have held way better than N64's, which are older anyway.

Once he gets over the fact that the PC has trouble running the game, as we all must, I'm sure he'll like it.

And in the veryyyy last frame.... Just Cause 3.
Seems like you bust a nut there? No worries, everyone is allowed to do that once!
That's why your mum made you with two! :D

for me Beth walked in and won E3 before E3 really started, Doom looks like a nice nod back to the old formula and Fallout 4 in turn looks like a nice refreshing take on a old one X3

to me Fallout 4 feels like Bethesdas Fallout, not Black Isle Fallout as presented by Beth that 3 kinda felt like.

......did you watch the MS press conference? when they announced the backwards compatibility they stated and I quote
"we will have 100 games ready for backwards compatibility at the start with more to come as soon as PUBLISHERS give us the go ahead." in otherwords if its a MS game that hasn't already been remastered there's a good chance its going to be available, other then that its all on EA, Ubisoft, and so on to give them the go ahead to make their games backward compatible.

Just Cause is okay but not great. But the sequel is pretty darn good. The plot isn't great, but it's a lot of fun blowing stuff up and doing crazy stuff in missions. The hookshot, parachute and the huge world combine to make the game fairly unique, and worth buying IMO.

Battlefleet Gothic looks fun, I've already decided to get the new Deus Ex anyway, but I'm not on the Fallout hype train. I still regret buying Skyrim day 1, so Bethesda can go play with their jetpack power armors all they want, I'm not keen having the developer console as an integral part of the gameplay.
