^From what I've heard, Miyamoto let a lot of the younger memebers of the team have much more creative freedom with what they could do in Odyssey. Check out this interview, btw. Miyamoto details how with the advent of the WIi, the mainline Mario series became more "casual" as the control setup of the Wiimote and nunchuck didn't allow for the complex controls necessary for a proper 3D Mario game: ^This was from last year's E3, btw I'm just so glad to see Nintendo hasn't forgotten their roots.

Only thing of merit in the entire "conference": ^Looks like we'll finally have a return to form for the 3D Super Mario series. Nintendo has been floundering around in mediocrity for far too long: Galaxy - disappointment Galaxy 2 -^ ditto Super Mario 3D Land - was "ok" for a handheld Mario game, but only just barely Super Mario 3D World - was really fun for the first few hours (albeit insanely easy), but in the second half of the game, they just started recycling levels like a mofo. The thematic elements of the levels became super generic too. It's like all that creativity went right down the drain in the second half. Thankfully, they raised the difficulty to a level I'd consider "just right", but even then, better challenge does not compensate for lack of interesting level design :/ With Odyssey, it seems as though we are finally going back to Nintendo's roots in 3D game design. Super Mario 64 --> Sunshine --> Odyssey. Only time will tell if it can indeed hold up to the lofty heights of game design exhibited by those illustrious titles... from what they are showing us, it looks promising as all hell =^-^= Also, with Eiji Aounuma confirming more Zelda games in the future will take direct inspiration from BotW's design philosophy, it seems within the realm of possibility if Super Mario Odyssey receives similar levels of praise / financial success, Nintendo may just make more non-linear mainline Mario games in the future! (\(^o^)/)

The more sexy, metrosexual guys parading around in commercials, the better! o,o

More infamous than famous >.> 9.5/10 on the infamy level (of course, my own infamy level is at least 9,000/10 /)^3^(\)

5 words: Shadow Of The Fucking Colossus o,o Also, Super Mario Odyssey, Monster Hunter World, Code Vein, DBZ Fighters, and Anthem =^-^= Why does Sethisto want to touch female dragons in a place or in a way that makes them feel uncomfortable? o,o

Does this count as "booping"?

You make pmv's of past generations? o,o Why not post some of them in this thread? I wouldn't mind watching. Would be easier to give constructive criticism if we had your prior offerings in this thread =^-^=

Microsoft. 'nuff said. They were the only ones who brought a proper conference. All the public speakers were spot on, they had proper buildup to each trailer, and kept the bullshit to a minimum (aside from the Forza 7 segment). Playstation showed two good games and a bunch of quick time events. Their whole "conference" was a trailer reel and nothing more. I wish I had just watched the Shadow of the Colossus and Monster Hunter trailer by themselves instead of all that other bullshit. Nintendo showed one good game, Super Mario Odyssey. Really quite an amazing trailer... but literally everything else shown was trash. 25 minutes ain't a conference, btw I won't even mention the other companies as their offerings were far too insignificant to even address. So yeah, Microsoft won, but I certainly won't be buying any Xbox games in the future. Already sold my original fat Xbone awhile ago. Not getting the X since it's almost as disappointing as the Pro. I'll be keeping my Pro to play multiplats til I can afford a gaming laptop. I'll wait a few years to get a hardware revised Switch and play all their best offerings including SMO and BotW. Microsoft: 7/10 Sony: 5/10 Nintendo: 2/10

Nintendo already has exclusivity to the Fast Racing Neo games... why not outsource development of a new F-Zero game to Shin'en and give them full creative range over the license? I mean, wasn't Sega responsible for development of F-Zero GX? It's not like F-Zero MUST be developed in-house by Nintendo. Fast Racing Neo was fun and all, but it didn't really have enough depth to keep me satisfied. Was something I played for like 10 hours and never went back to. The difficulty was perfect, but the racing and progression systems just bored me to death. I like actual incentive to continue playing. Unlock new vehicles and characters, unlock new parts to customize your own vehicle, a freaking story mode! With Fast Racing Neo, it was really just the thrill of the speed (which admittedly looked phenomenal) and the extreme challenge. I guess I shouldn't expect much more from a $15 game lol.

E3 this year definitely did suck. Although, I have to admit, none of those games you mentioned would have made any difference to me, personally. There were some cool games shown off, some nice surprises too. But the actual conferences themselves left me utterly underwhelmed. The Japanese devs really brought the heat this year... where was all the awesome western developed stuff? Sure, Anthem looked pretty lit, but I honestly have trouble getting excited for a game with the same format as Destiny -.- If only Anthem was single player, I would be hyped as all hell >.<

^ I take extreme offense to that My intention was to share my opinions and invite others to do the same. Not to allow others to attack me with passive aggressive hostility. I think it may be best if I leave these forums, if this is the way I will continue to be treated. People constantly gang up on me trying to either throw personal insults my way, or become hostile merely as a response to me sharing my own viewpoints. ^A perfect example of such. And your "heh" was the straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak. I find the way I am mistreated for sharing my own opinions that go against the "norm" to be quite disgusting considering when I disagree with other users, they band together in an effort to hurt me in any way possible. This has happened multiple times within individual users status updates, especially recently. I do not appreciate it, and I find it quite deplorable, to be perfectly honest.

Umm... what?

^All three of you act as if I failed to address this in my OP:

I agree /)^3^(\ Just look at Rise Son of Rome or The Order 1886... both games with amazing graphics... but unfortunately the gameplay in these titles left much to be desired. I wish both amazing graphics and truly immersive / ambitious game design could join together in harmony more often. It is rare that we get a truly groundbreaking game with equally groundbreaking graphics. Super Mario Sunshine is one of the last I can think of. Horizon Zero Dawn was just short in the gameplay department. NieR:Automata and Xenoblade Chronicles X came up short in the graphical aspect. It's like, we as gamers simply are not allowed to have our cake AND eat it too Q.Q

See this video right here: ^This video should speak for itself. ...but just in case it doesn't, I present to you the following: Shadow of the Colossus is my #2 favorite game of all time. I consider it a 9.8/10 "near perfection". This trailer got me more hyped than any other trailer I have seen in the past 10 years of E3 press conferences. Now, why am I so hyped? I have played this game countless times in the past. I bought the original release on the PS2 over a decade ago and have played it many times since then. When the PS3 remaster was announced a few years back, I was ecstatic. "How awesome would it be to have one of my favorite games of all time on a PS3!", I thought. "I can't wait to see all the graphical improvements they have made after all these years!". But the game came... and I was disappointed, quite frankly. All it really was, was a higher native resolution, better framerate, and slightly improved texture work. It looked like trash compared to other PS3 games at the time. <- Which stands in stark contrast to how amazingly groundbreaking the original release was back in 2005. There was hardly any other games on the PS2 that could even come close to competing with Shadow of the Colossus in terms of graphics. Seeing this new PS4 remake with legit "PS4 quality" graphics completely blew my mind. It communicated to me "Look, we know you old-school Playstation fans are out there, and this is for you". The amount of effort put into those visuals... it makes the whole ordeal EXCITING. It's not just like "Oh here's a game you used to love now with some shitty slapped on bloom filter and better res. Give us $60 please" (looking at you Wind Waker HD >.>). Graphics.... are not as important as gameplay. I fully comprehend that factor. BUT, if a GOOD game has incredible graphics to go along with all the other essentials that indeed make it so good, the graphical aspect does SOOOO much to enhance the experience of playing through it! The immersion is unparalleled The reason I'm making this thread, is because time and time again, whenever I get into a discussion or debate about videogames ANYWHERE on the internet, there is always like a group of 3-4 people who make the assertion "Graphics do not matter". They repeat this over and over no matter what argument you give them -.- Idk... if graphics didn't matter, then why the hell don't all games still look like N64 titles? All they need in order to improve the gameplay is higher resolution, higher fps, and higher draw distances. That would be the purest way to "play a game" no doubt. But games are experiences. They are supposed to take you to another world. Not merely be tasks you are supposed to complete. If I'm gonna play a game, I want to enjoy myself. I don't complete games to get paid. I don't complete games to feel a sense of accomplishment. I play them for enjoyment. And graphics, particularly ones of the impressive variety, tend to make great games into amazing experiences. Thank you for taking the time to read this. =^-^= And please feel free to share your own thoughts.

Glad I clicked on it =^-^=

I feel like I'm about to have a seizure Q.Q Better change it lol Oh and I give yours a 6/10

I would have to say... maybe, juuust maybe... a 6.5349/10 o,o
