E3 expo thoughts & opinions so far! \o/
12 years ago
So besides all the people crying about is Xbox better than PS4. I'm really enjoying the list of games being offered up so far. A ton of new games on the table to come out this year and next. And hell yea to battlefield's first multiplayer footage. They exceeded my expectations with the new Frostbite 3 engine, kudos to them! Still incredibly impressed and excited for Naughty Dog's The Last of Us which i have waiting at gamestop on the 14th. *taps cheek* hmm on to lists!
Top 10 games in no particular order I'm looking forward to that have been unveiled/talked about at the expo!
Titanfall - Mechs!
The Order - Hell yea!
Mirrors Edge 2 - <3333333
Wolfenstein: The New Order
Beyond Two Souls - Looking to be a stellar single player streamable piece. +1
The Division - Looks like great co-op Fun
Starwars Battlefront 3 - Like I'm not a huge Starwars fan but holy shit yes please!
The Crew - Has potential I think
Battlefield 4 - Need I say more?
Call of Duty: Ghosts - Looking forward to the single player! Go go livestreams!
My Opinion! of X1 vs. PS4
On the concerns of what 'is' better though. I think either system is fairly equal to be perfectly honest. I know alot of people don't agree on that statement wanting to immediately jump on all the 'controversial' xbox decisions, But in all honesty. I'm under the mindset that if you can afford to pay $500 on a console+game costs. You 'should' be able to afford cheap internet, and thus the cry about there internet connection is invalid. In fact I'm hoping it will limit the amount of bs hacking/modding a bit more. Moving onto further notes. The DRM issue. For me personally doesn't matter. I buy all my stuff legally and only buy new and keep my games cause I have a broad and flexible taste in what I enjoy. I will note and acknowledge though that some people 'can't' afford new or would want to test out a demo first but I also think that again, if you can afford the consoles few hundred dollar+tax price tags and the sheer amount of review sites/youtube videos and live gameplay streams available these days. Its still not a huge factor as everyone seems to be making it. So that leaves the pricepoints. Sony is offering a cheaper system at $399 that much is simple, albeit online 'multiplayer' is no longer going to be free and should be noted.
All in all I think each has its quirks, ups, and downs. Either one is gonna usher in the continued evolution of gaming and that's all I care about at the end of the day. I'm a gamer through and through and about as unbiased as can be in that regard.
Haven't reviewed to much into Nintendo as of yet as they are still underway with there announcements as the day progress's!
Final verdicts thus far!
Xbox - 4/5 - I'm actually liking the all-in-one approach keeping my lovely work station streamlined.
PS4 - 4/5 - Looking stellar, wish they had some more IP announcements but still a very solid lineup.
Wii U 3/5 - Still waiting for some real solid IP announcements. Though Super smash bro's on the 3ds? I think so!
So what have you all thought? Opinions or games that caught your eye?

FA+

That being said, I really look forward to getting half of those games at least. (And or torrenting some others <.< >.>)
Battlefield and Cod are both a must buys, obviously. (CoD FAN SPEAKING. KAY ?)
Titanfall & The Order are also two that I would love to play.
The Evil Within is a must though, yes. Oh yes.
As for the Xbox and Ps4 points you gave, I agree with all of it.
I believe that both consoles will deliver (except for the little price difference; looking at your microsoft <.<) and I'll most likely end up purchasing them both.
The only thing I want/expect from Nintendo would be another Banjo Kazooie game and like you previously mentioned, another Zelda game. Because you can never have enough Zelda games.
If you want my scale of satisfaction between consoles, I'm undecided about the Nintendo (Due to the lack of info, I'll watch the E3 event later and let you know)
I'm forced to rate it at a scale of 1 to 10 though, so here it is.
Xbawx Wan - 7/10
Pee Ez Quad - 8/10
