Agents of MAYHEM and Quake Champions intrigue me so far. I hope to see more from Skylanders Imaginators, FFXV, World of FF, Kingdom Hearts 2.8, and more so far. I have a bigger game want list so far than I did like a month ago.

I think it's cool that for the Skyrim remaster, you could play with mods on console. Kinda like Fallout 4. Has that feature even come out yet for Fallout?

Vs Capcom is Street fighter but very faster.

And Smash is the awkward man sitting in the corner.

What does every single one of those have in common? Button mashing or button combos.

That is the very definition of cookie cutter.

Combos are what they have in common, but the meachanics is what makes them different. Using a combo in Street Fighter may not have the same utility as say Tekken which may not be the same as Soul Caliber. Each of these has thier own set of mechanics and characters within those mechanics of strengths and weaknesses in varying areas, which make them different.

But button mashing isn't something you should do in fighting games. Percise control and strategizing is what these games are about. Maybe you could get away with it on singeplayer easy mode or against someone who doesn't play fighting games often, but you can't if you want to be a somewhat decent player.

Why would I ever want to fight against another player? There is no story. No story means no reason to play. Might as well play solitaire.

I guess the next question is, is the game going to focus online or is it going to have an actual single player story mode?

Anyway, I'm excited to see what the day brings us. Only two more hours until MS's conference and I am really hoping to be shown some good games. Hopefully, they will keep the numbers talk to a minimum and not focus so much on that boring virtual reality Minecraft thing they did last year.

Ubisoft is going to have a hard time to get me to support them ever again, but we'll see. It would be nice if Tyler could use some new jokes this year instead of recycling the same ones she has used the last 3 years.

And of course there s Sony, who is going to rock the dragon tonight!! Although, I expect there to be another 20 minute lull halfway through the conference.

...The entire point of a fighting game is to play with other people.

Besides some of them DO have stories, they just sometimes aren't presented to you upfront.

Boy, you really have no idea what you're talking about.

"Oh remember all those old-school RPG’s? Yeah they’re all the same; you take turns and hit enemies!"

"Racing games? You just drive around all the time?"

"Shooters? Oh you just shoot stuff, lame…"

"Jump & runs? Bah boring, you just jump and run!"

etc., just because you don't get the point of a genre doesn’t mean it's bad.

@Topic: Nothing interesting so far IMO. I don’t care about shooters, Skyrim remaster is meh (even though I'll get it for free apparently), I already did everything this game has to offer, at least a little bit of new content would've made me interested but it's just a graphic overhaul so who cares.

Prey... I don’t get it. The original idea behind Prey 2 was already weird but this… huh.

Oh my god, this is the stupidest fucking thing I've ever read.
To generalize a topic down to such a mind numblingly simple level can make video games as a whole sound like a waste.

What's the point in playing video games when they don't further our lives and, rather, take up our precious time between now and the grave? Read a book or shut the fuck up.

Liking the details on the Xbox One S. Except the white color scheme lol. Would be a pretty big upgrade from a near-launch console (which I have) and at only $299 not that bad of a deal.

Nothing else in Microsoft's conference grabbing my attention yet though.

The cross-play between Xbox and PC being in more games sounds promising though.
