The new Shadow Warrior 2 : tons of new close combat weapons! Weapon mods for the shooting weapons! I just hope they manage to make the “multiplayer coop” and “open word” right and balanced.

In Halo news, new Warzone game mode. Basically 'firefight', but 24 players v AI. Epic!
That would be awesome. Never been big on pvp, so I don't really do much online gaming, but coop pve is a blast.

I am the Hammer. I am the right hand of my Emperor. I am the tip of His spear, I am the gauntlet about His fist. I am the woes of daemonkind. I am the Hammer.
I just checked out EA's presentation, I think they are running out of ideas, they just announced plants versus zombies garden warfare 2.

Dishonored 2 - Having the option to play as Emily means I'm more likely to buy it, but I'll be waiting to see what people say about the game first.
Fallout 4 - The big announcement for me so far. They haven't shown everything I want out of a Fallout game, but there's still time for that to change as we get closer to release, or with DLC.
Rise of the Tomb Raider - Another game I want to buy. Being a timed XBox exclusive is annoying though. I would have liked it if Sam was tagging along after learning enough about being an adventurer-archaeologist to be Lara's sidekick, but I know a lot of people didn't like her for being out of her depth in the first game so she might not be in this one.
Mass Effect: Andromeda - Between Origin exclusives and everything they did wrong with the main plots of ME2 and ME3, I don't trust Bioware not to feth this up any more.
XCOM 2 - This one hasn't had its E3 spotlight yet, but I'll be watching it. So far they've had a lot of good technical news and a lot of terrible story/gameplay news, so unless they do a lot to redeem themselves, it's going to be a late buy, once it's cheap enough that I wouldn't mind modding it to pieces to get rid of everything I hate.

Is it just me, or does the new Halo seem to borrowing a certain context sensitive squad mechanic from a certain Starwars game of grand repute.
Which I find quite funny, given how the early footage of Republic Commando was decried as a halo clone, and turned out to be something quite different. Now we've come full circle.
Broadly speaking, not much of interest on display at E3 for me as of yet; Fallout 4 and XCOM 2, otherwise "meh."
I don't know what to think about ME yet after being burned on ME3, and a new galaxy doesn't inspire confidence when it was the setting of ME I enjoyed so much. Everything else is console exclusive, so I'm unable to play them.
I do kind of miss Halo though; I really enjoyed 1, 2 and 3 (I had a 360 for that one), and have been continuously dissapointed it hasn't seen more PC support. Halo 1 *still* has an active online community.
Therefore, I conclude, Valve should announce Half Life 2: Episode 3.
The Xbox One's backwards compatibility, while not a bad thing, seems like something that would have more impact earlier on its life cycle given that now that all these new next gen games are coming out.
Personally, I'm struggling to see how I'm going to finish my already existing backlog of games with all of these releasing so close to one another. Persona 5 with confirmed Fallout 4, followed by Battlefront, UC4 and other PC games? Oh lawdy.
Dishonored 2 looked neat. It will be neat to play Emily.
Shadow warrior 2 sounds fun. I need a nice co-op game to play.
Sea of thieves is something that I direcly have wanted. I have been looking for a pirate moo for awhile and one that is personal skill is nice too. Only problem is Xbox one.

Which is awesome, I've always wanted a more modern FPS with that mechanic! Between Squad Commands, Buck as a Spartan and the general slickness of the gameplay, I'm reaching fervent levels of excitement for H5.
Yeah, they do. Almost definitely exclusives, so that means I'm going to have to spend another $400 if I want to play them, on top the the computer I'm building.
And my internet connection has gakked it'self to the point where I can't even watch it on mobile quality, so I'm going to sleep for 14 hours in preparation for the nintendo stream.
Hopefully, it will have fixed it'self by then
