CRASH BANDICOOT 

I didn't have much to add to that other than that his visual design actually makes me feel physically ill.

I agree that it's not a great redesign but its not great in a way where I can get used to it. At least, the same way I got used to many Pokemon designs I originally wasn't keen on and now love

Did you enjoy Skyrim?

The HD Re-release? Sure, mainly because PC users are getting it for free (despite the fact they already have it).

Im actually into Norse mythos so Im quite excited for GOW4. I can see why it might not be has bloody or crazy has the originals though, I have always found Greek and Norse to differ in the crazy department but thats just me.

Oh I am too. I fucking love Vikings, and Norse culture in general (I've been watching the show vikings, listening to viking and pagan black metal, and trying to find games where I murder peoples faces with viking weaponry for a while now), but I just wish it was an entirely new game and not a God of War game, especially not a weird sequel/reboot like this.

God of War! For me everything else I can wait on. 

I don't know man, there were some cool fucking games at E3.

Yes. Emily is Darkness now. Pretty cool. It does mosltly feel too much like the first game, except for a name change to the location. The time travel gimmick is interesting.

As for Zelda, I've already expressed my feelings about open worlds and how I don't want everything to be an open world. As much as I liked watching gameplay of new Zelda, it did look largley empty, and I had hoped that Nintendo would have imitated Witchers more populated open world instead of Skyrims empty one. 

What did you think of Resident Evil 7? It seems the entire game will be a first person horror experience like Outlast or Amnesia as the director of the game mentioned these types of game when interviewed and said he was frustrated that he didnt have guns in these games. So Amnesia with guns? Also, people experiencing it with VR say it works well, so VR RE?  

God of War feels too much like a reboot. The whirly blades is what made that game fun for me. I don't know about that axe. It felt kind of slow. It did have a very souls boss feel, and actually Zelda feels a bit soulsy too. You can walk to whatever you see far in the distance and the opening area feels like Majula.

I'm doing an E3 series with the first entry going up today and I'll be talking about RE7 tomorrow. I played the demo and I have some mixed feelings about it honestly.

  I will study Zelda a bit more because I actually liked what I saw which surprised me. It gave me a team ico feel for some reason which made me super happy. 

 Right? I mean, I'll still play the new GoW but idk man. I want mr morally wrong murder face to murder some faces, not be a dad. I heard the kid is with you the whole way, and that just feels wrong. Hopefully it does prove me wrong, but I wasn't as hyped as I should have been.

I've heard a few podcast discussing zelda and how nintendo is late to the open world table, but they also will give us their take on open world which will be unique and different, okay, I'll have to wait and see. I liked Links little ipad thingy where he was downloading apps from all those mini dungeons. I watched a lot of the gameplay and it felt alot like Inquisition honestly, but I hope it doesnt pepper the map with objective points and give you lame, boring items to collect. Like I said before, I want Nin to borrow from the best open world examples, and not the worst, like cheaply padding the game experience.

I've enjoyed all of the God of War games, as purely just fun. I liked the mythology too. I'll give this new game a chance, but I got Tomb Raider vibes from it, I don't know?

I want to see how Nintendo approach it. What I saw reminded me a lot of MGSV/Far Cry 2 in that it seems more of a system driven sandbox with tons of mechanics that play off each other rather than a sightseeing tour. I'm down for that.

and about RE7 demo,

Im enjoying people loose their shit on twitch trying to solve, or at least find evidence of a hidden puzzle. I've seen people do everything from change options setting numbers in the  system menu to match number combos in the game to take the axe and hit every damned wall in that house. There are also different ghost girl sightings depending on certain actions. It's all very meta and I'm not sure if it's intentional or not? It's fascinating to see a community build around this thing. I missed out on PT since I didn't have a ps4 at the time, but I'm enjoying watching the craziness this time and I'm having fun! 

If I can't swing a chain blade around my head and decapitate an Ogre, I will be mad. 

Right? GoW combat is still a hell of a lot of fun, though I've actually been googling "games where I kill shit with a viking axe" due to watching vikings, so I may enjoy this. I'm worried about the kid tagging along for the whole game. He doesn't seem anywhere near interesting enough to carry a game.

There was some speculation on a podcast I listen to that the game might fastforward some years and then you play as the kid grown up.
