The disappointment in my brother's eyes when Half Life 3 isn't announced...

... and mine too :(

[–] TheTux@lemmy.ml 3 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Fucking REAL.

Like every other year until it or the next thing

beep beep "WARNING: User DEAD, Imminent"

[–] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Truly, lol. He was disappointed because he thought the MegaMan reveal was talking about Gordon Freeman.

[–] rtxn@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Megaman hasn't even done anything wrong (yet)... but we HATES IT!

[–] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

It wasn't MegaMan Legends, and therefore I do not care. Capcom can stay losing with my wallet.

[–] TheTux@lemmy.ml 1 points 12 hours ago

Ya, whole show was kind of a let down, TankRat, from the Beginning no less, was the only one that really cought my eye. Oh well, at least Expedition 33 got its due & EVERYTHING ELSE SOMEHOW.

I really should play it already, if even the notoriously AAA subordinate Jeffy K. had to acknowledge those French people's game so hard.

Just a shame my rig isn't up to the task. :(

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 9 points 19 hours ago

Todd Howard flayed alive on live televison.

[–] MoreZombies@quokk.au 9 points 21 hours ago

I've never cared for it - the entire show's awards and announcements could be YouTube Shorts that I can pick and choose to watch, and I'd get exactly the same thing out of it.

I wait a day and then check for a megathread with bullet points, then see if there is anything of interest to me.

[–] CosmoNova@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

I’m not really excited about anything because I don’t care much for AAA but it‘s funny to me that a show like the Game Awards was never about the awards but just an excuse to show some world premier trailers.

They keep telling us how this is a celebration of this year while trailers for games in the coming years take center stage. It feels more like the most cynical funeral of old games while the new ones get coronated with their announcements.

And I know this is comment isn‘t deep or profound to anybody who ever watched the Game Awards but I just find it comical every year.

[–] ampersandrew@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (4 children)

On the other hand, winning an award from this show has a tangible effect on game sales, so it's nice when a game like Baldur's Gate 3 can beat the mainstays like The Legend of Zelda and earn that bump for themselves.

It's just a big advertising show yeah. Like E3 but with all the soul and community sucked out of it. I dont know why anyone cares.

[–] Saapas@piefed.zip 5 points 20 hours ago

Crowbcat compilation. Tbh I didn't know they were still doing that Game Awards

[–] pheonixdown@sh.itjust.works 24 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I just want to see some more exceptionalism from Flute Guy.

Wouldn’t be way out of left field with the new headset they already announced

[–] Ankkuli@sh.itjust.works 3 points 20 hours ago

It would be because Valve said they are not in the process of making a new VR game.

None of it.

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 day ago

Half life 3

[–] lath@piefed.social 9 points 1 day ago

Absolutely nothing.

[–] Monster96@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (3 children)

The same thing I've been waiting for since 2003. A new F-Zero

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Did you play BS F-Zero? It was only available as a streaming service in Japan in the 90s, but someone managed to put a rom together a couple years ago. It mostly just feels like a remix of the first game, but it's still some new content

[–] Monster96@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

I didn't know that was a thing, nice

[–] tabris@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

1999, and a new Vib Ribbon for me.

I really want a release date for Clockwork Revolution and Judas.

[–] whotookkarl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Is this the one where devolver digital does something goofy? That's usually pretty fun

[–] Kovukono@pawb.social 4 points 21 hours ago

They might have, but I mostly remember their E3 shows.

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 day ago

I'm looking forward to the podcasts that'll make fun of it.

[–] CodenameDarlen@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Looking for to be sleeping, I really don't give a shit about that.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I heard it's likely we're gonna see some KOTOR on there.

[–] Ashtear@piefed.social 3 points 13 hours ago

Close enough

[–] Arcane2077@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

~~Silksong~~ Nothing, life is meaningless

[–] simple@piefed.social 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

now you can wait for the silksong dlc though

[–] Arcane2077@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago

Yep, 6-8 years to go!

[–] simple@piefed.social 12 points 1 day ago (12 children)

Personally I'm hoping for

  • Larian's next game announcement
  • info on Light no Fire
  • anything by fromsoftware
  • a new final fantasy game that isn't based on ff7
  • the new bioshock game that was rumored for years now

What do I want? Xcom 3. Obviously that won’t happen ever though

[–] Alcyonaria@piefed.world 7 points 1 day ago

Starseeker, light no fire, the host being gored by a bull

[–] vivalapivo@lemmy.today 6 points 1 day ago

E33 should fuck

[–] Redacted@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Steam box price and release date, more Slay the Spire 2 info, next Zelda teaser. All very unlikely.
