I quite often dream I am running a project for work 

It's really irritating, because when I wake up, I have to run a project for work

I'm playing Dishonored: Death of the Outsider.

I loved the first two games and this is more of the same with one major difference. Your void power (mana) basically replenishes automatically rather than constantly being on the look out for elixirs.

This actually give you freedom to spam powers, meaning you can get creative with testing out different executions or stealth tactics. It's quite liberating.

I think I read this game is supposed to bring the Kaldwin story arc to an end, but I really hope they make more games in this universe.

It's funny...I was a bit deflated after E3, but writing this list has changed my thoughts :

In no particular order :

1. Dragon Quest Builders 2
2. Astral Chain
3. FFVII Remake
4. Cyberpunk 2077
5. Watch Dogs Legion
6. BotW2
7. Tales of Arise
8. Elden Ring
9. Deathloop
10. Ghostwire Tokyo

2019 has been a fairly mediocre year for me so far, but bring on 2020!!

Watch Dogs Legion looks pretty damn good, but the rest of that conference was really very disappointing.

I'm not sure Ubisoft need their own conference every year tbh.

I was a bit underwhelmed with E3 today, but that was maybe because of the leaks beforehand. I felt I knew everything that was coming in the Microsoft conference.

The highlights for me so far, ranked with best at top:

Deathloop - I love Arkane so a new IP makes me happy
Elden Ring - Although the reveal was leaked, I am still excited for this
Cyberpunk + Keanu Reeves - That was a cool E3 moment
Tales of Arise - Looks very good
Ghostwire: Tokyo - Good trailer
Star Wars Fallen Order - Looks way better than I expected, still expect EA to ruin it somehow
Spiritfarer - I really liked the art style
12 Minutes - Looks okay

That's about it! Not great tbh.

I really expected a LOT more from Microsoft. I think they have missed an unbelievable opportunity to gain some ground over Sony heading into 2020.

It was a bit depressing to see their continual banging the drum for Game Pass. That is now an amazing deal, but I can't see more than a few of those games getting physical releases.

I really hope E3 deviates from their normal programming and actually talks about something other than sports titles, a new Star Wars game, another battle Royal Game, and a 5 year old Sims game.


So far Star Wars Fallen Order actually looks awesome despite taking place in Disney's canon, but I literally have zero interest in anything else they've scheduled to discuss. I am really hoping for a Dragon Age 4 teaser, an official title even. Something else unexpected would be nice too. Then again, this is EA we're talking about, the kings of industry rot.

You've got me excited about Dragon Age 4 now...that would be an excellent mic drop at the end of the presentation!

Fallen Order looks great...that's all I was hoping for from EA tbh.

As I read just this, my wife asked me why I was grinning like a madman! 

What a combination of author and developer! I'm guessing 2020?

Wonder if we get a trailer in the Xbox E3 showcase....could be a launch title for Xbox Anaconda.
