Welcome to the new series of posts that I'm calling 'The Pus and The Minus' where I take whatever subject I'm talking about and take it down into the bit I think were a plus and the parts I think were a minus.The first addition is part of the E3 2017 season and it's EA Play! What a way to kick off E3... Maybe not.
The Minus
- TOO MUCH SPORTS
I'm not a big sports guy, and sure I should really be used to the idea that they will always show sports games cause that's their biggest games. But NBA, NFL, Fifa I don't care and taking up the mst of your show with it just alienates the actually audience who are here and tuning in for E3.
- YouTubers and Streamers! LMAO!! xD xD
As some one who watches YouTube everyday, seeing famous YouTubers and streamers as a big part of a conference is EXTREMELY cringy. The most obvious part of this during the conference was Jesse from the channel PrankVSPrank. Someone who is no longer in the trending eye of YouTube and someone who isn't really associated to games. I'd rather just be talked to by the devs not a minor YouTube celebrity who has no reason to be at the conference talking about that game
- New Bioware project
This is a minus because they announced it and showed literally NOTHING. Either show us something substantial or don't show us anything and save the surprise for the conference you will be showing it at.
- Where are all the surprises?
What happened? Rumours of Skate 4, no where to be seen, no news on the other Star Wars games that we know are being made cause you showed us last year? Not even anything from left-field ? Just a bland normal conference.
The Plus
+ A Way Out
This game looks rad, this is a new co-op only game. That's right you can only play this game co-op, whether that be couch or online. I think that will be the aspect that makes or breaks this game, I'm optimistic. It is from the creators of Brothers. Which was another game that was heavily based on two characters and their story, and this games gimmick is the co-op and the idea that it is a story heavy game. I can't wait to sit down with my buddy or girlfriend and give this game a go and to experience a story together.
+ Star Wars Battlefront II
The opinions on this seems quite split, some see it as a boring extension of the previous game while others think they definitely have listened to their audience. I honestly believe they have listened to the community, I can't wait to play the story. Also the old PS2/PC Star Wars Battlefront II is one of my favourite games of all time, and this game at least looks like they looked at that game for changes. Classes are a big deal at making the game interesting. The points system based on kills to allow you unlock those new classes/heroes just like the older games. Also it has the ship gameplay and ground gameplay combined which is something I've wanted in Battlefront ever since the PS2 game. I'm looking forward to the game, I'm still gonna let the game come out and get the reviews in first before I start to look at buying it but I'm excited nontheless.
Overall the show was cringy and kinda bad. But hopefully that means the bar has been set low for the rest of the week so we can get hyped later. I'll be posting about E3 throughout the week and a new post for each conference. I'll see you again for Microsoft and Bethesda!
