XBOX Game Show

If you missed anything, I've put the summary below

► Show Spoiler

Actually, it's women this year but I'm too lazy to edit it. 99% of the games have female protagonists.

Is Black Cops 6 future war autism again or sticking with cold war era stuff?

[nyxnyx]

Creation Kit for Starfield coming out tonight as well apparently - if nothing else, I'm curious to see just how much we can actually modify compared to previous ones.

[KnightoftheWind]

I didn't even know this was happening, and after taking a quick glance at the announcements it's just another disaster. Big surprise. They finally showed gameplay of the Perfect Dark reboot, and Joanna has the manliest jaw I've seen yet. It's become parody at this point.

[WaterMage]

Any game showed is not a AAA ESG third person action adventure with stealth elements full of bugs codded by diversity hires and requiring 666 GB of HD?

EDIT : This flintlock seems like Forspoken 2.

edit : 2 Spiritborn for D4 as new class? I was expecting something like warlock, alchemist, illusionist or something more interesting... And his armor looks very carnavalesque...

edit 3 : The new fable looks ATROCIOUS. Will they force you to play with this awful MC?

edit 4 : nothing new about Avowed.

edit 5 : Stalker 2, finally a good locking game.

World of Warcraft: The War Within

Aw, they didn't rerender the old cinematics at higher resolution, instead just threw them into an AI upscaler. Overall, another meh cinematic like Dragonflight's. What a shame. Blizzard's cinematics used to be world class.

Less based on how veteran modders have described changes to the engine for Starfield breaking important tentpole mods for previous games.

[Oyster Sauce]

Are they actually making Forspoken 2 or am I being goofed?

"She" looks like a marine from Gears of War

Really? You like the Ukro game with ******* out of nowhere more than the other games with *******?

Having blacks is not and never was a problem for me. Depending on the setting, makes sense to have a lot of blacks. No one criticized TES : Redguard by having a black MC. In fact, most people in Hammerfell are. Just like Morrowind is full of Dark Elves and Skyrim of Nords with Bretons being the second most common race. The problem is just when they create awful characters regardless of race, sexuality or gender. For them, a woman/black MC that can`t be in love cuz it makes her/him vulnerable, can`t learn from a mentor, because she is great at everything and learning from the good and bad from the past? that is "fascism" for progressists and every character that Baizuos create end up being a generic mary sue with no flaws and challenges to overcome, no hindrances which is extreme boring.

Pick forspoken for example, a very awful game. If the MC had to study and practice her powers a lot, had drawbacks, risks and costs associated with her powers had to do a bit of experimentation, developed relations with other NPCs that lead her to make difficult decisions, that would make the story of the game exponentially better. Ukraine don`t seem to be as infected with post modernist insanity as the west, so I expect a good character arc and good writing from them.

Risky move opening with that line and then vomiting a bunch of text you think people are gonna read and take seriously.

Stopped reading. Your opinion is irrelevant since you seem to tolerate it when it's games you like and dislike if you don't like the game.

Is Black Cops 6 future war autism again or sticking with cold war era stuff?

Cold war era, 6 is after the cold war, during the height of the gulf war.

Nice, I always thought the gulf war was an extremely under used setting for FPS games.

I was hoping they showed more of the zombies mode, I just hope they'll have characters we can play instead of the mp operators. I'm hoping we get to play Thatcher, Bush, Clinton and Hussein in Zombies.

I liked seeing lil' Marcus in the Gears of War trailer, but I could only play 4 for about an hour due to the non-stop Marvel quipping and boring, literally soulless enemies.

Wrong! Official academic studies cited by special interest groups show that only 4% of games have female protagonists.

There's a thread about it is anyone thinks I'm joking.

Mr Incredible?

[Kowe]

Didn't watch all game trailers of this showcase. Not excited for any but will pay attention to Doom. Doubt I will play AoM for some specific reasons, fingers crossed it is still a good game.

Better Trailers
Doom: The Dark Ages - Question if it has the usual gameplay loop known for the series, looked slow and underwhelming from the trailer. Shield is an interesting mechanic, and so is Dragonriding. Also will be on Steam, but not on GoG.
Age of Mythology Retold

Meh Trailers
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 - Exclusive, so meh. One of the more interesting games of the showcase.
Gears of War - Exclusive ? Haven't all games of the series been Xbox only ? At least the main protagonist of the original Gears of War and his battle brother are the focus on the trailer.
Stalker 2: Heart of Chernobyl - Mostly good, just the ****** merchant there. Who knows how much DEI stuff they will cram in.

Bad Trailers
Perfect Dark - Girl-Boss and multiculty, but it does give off Mirror's Edge vibes.
CoD: BO6 - Had Adler and what was his name, Price, huh. Just read above it is after Cold War. It is CoD though.
DA:V - Cartoony ****, poor Varris and Harding.
WoW - Arathi DEI NPC, the nigress.
Fable - ****. Mulatto hero and girlboss.

In general, they are ****. Don't show any or much valuable information and seems to be catered to story or hype ****.

Thanks for letting me know there was an AOM trailer, I shut it off before then I guess.

Looks good, I have high hopes for it

[Xenich]

Hmm...

[A Chinese opium den]

Hmm...

Its a bronze statue colossus mythical unit, not a ****** I swear.

[Oyster Sauce]

Hmm...

[Xenich]

Hmm...

That looks bronze (do a close up), the one in the vid looks far too... ****** color to me. We will see when the face gets shown though.

[Manny V]

people are saying the ***** dlc is going to come along later down the line... i dunno bros...

also the name 'retold' itself makes me assume they're going to be doing a bit of revisionism
