E3 2018: The PC Game Show
« on: June 11, 2018, 02:07:27 am »
After the past few years of watching E3, I feel like this can be one of the shows I question if I'll skip or not.  They are always so long, they spend forever on many games they shouldn't, and they spend a good bit of time hocking PC hardware.  Like sure, the console developers hock their hardware too, but its usually actually new hardware, and not just...processors and graphics cards.  Sure, they are great and needed, but you can't get that excited for PC parts and I'm a PC gamer. 

They also don't usually have a ton of new and exciting things to show off.  Like I don't remember them doing anything big last year and looking back at an article, it wasn't anything special.  Maybe that changes this year, I don't know, we'll see...

The PC Gaming Show starts at 6PM EST on Monday.

------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm taking the easy way out on this since I skipped most of it, as they announced lots of smaller games and such and while there were some good reveals surprisingly (Check out the art style for Sable, it's gorgeous), there's a lot here, so I'm just gonna rip off Destructoids list.

I've found this to be the weakest show of E3 over the past few years mostly due to the lack of reveals outside PC hardware. I will probably skip this one and just read the highlights later on.

Satisfactory.  Legit thought this was a No Man's Sky expansion at first lol It's your basic scifi building/survival game.

I'm honestly half paying attention to this show, mostly when something might excite me.

Mavericks: Proving Grounds.  A huge Battle Royale game that can have from 400 players in solo, up to 5 player squads up to 1000 players.

I tapped out, I'll fill in the start thread later.
