Title: E3 2019

Pre E3 conferences

Electronic Arts: June 8th/9th  (Not technically E3 but EA Play is roughly just EA getting out their info ahead of the rest)

Microsoft: Sun, June 9th at 1 p.m. PT / 4 p.m. ET

Bethesda: Sun, June 9th at 5:30 p.m. PT / 8:30 p.m. ET

Ubisoft: Mon, June 10 at 1 p.m. PT / 4 p.m. ET

Square Enix: Mon, June 10 at 6 p.m. PT / 9 p.m. ET

Nintendo: June 11 at 9 a.m. PT / 12 p.m. ET

Sony: Taking a year off to reflect on how terrible their conference was presented last year.  Hardware will be a big deal in 2020, expect them to be back at E3.


Really interested in the rumor there will be a surprise DLC for Borderlands 2.  Also more Borderlands 3 details. Some Dying Light 2 info as they went quiet for the last year.  More Cyberpunk 2077 info and maybe a release date? Just Doom Eternal from Bethesda because they already said there would be no Starfield/Elder Scrolls at this E3.

Not really interested in any of the sports games coming to E3. Would I buy Madden 20 to play as OU? If they allow it in exhibitions.  Otherwise give me a new NCAA game. Hoping for a new Super Mega Baseball (3) but they are a small indie dev and doubt they would use E3 to reveal anything. Most baseball I have ever played on a console.  Ran two 32 NCAA team leagues.  Did the uniforms all off the top of my head and went more colorful uniforms, instead of a bunch of drab grey.

Still dreaming of a tennis game that is on par with Top Spin 4.  I played and got refunded for AO tennis and Tennis World Tour (thanks Microsoft).  Sad state of affairs when the best tennis game on the market is a $15 indie game that just came out (Super Tennis Blast).

I don't have much interest in this year's E3 without Sony, but it'll be interesting to see how much info Microsoft gives on their upcoming console(s).

I'd love to see a Super Mega Baseball 3 game. I loved the second one and just purchased the two add on stadiums a few weeks ago when they were on sale for $1.50 each. Apparently I didn't like it nearly as much as Brent, but I still played it a lot and plan on breaking it out again this summer for my baseball fix.

Early E3 leakage.  Destiny 2 will be going free to play when the new update arrives. Base game and all year one content.  Will be renamed Destiny 2: New Light. Cross saves for Xbox One and PC owners. PS4 has not been confirmed for cross saves. There will also no longer be any more PS4 exclusives. New content comes to everyone at the same time.

Video for the upcoming content has been released.  Wow, going back tot he Moon. That's the Bungie I know. Recycle, recycle recycle!

What's the best way to watch the E3 conferences? Are they being streamed somewhere? I'd like to see Microsoft's, EA's and Ubisoft's.

This has all the links.

Might want to check out Devolver Digital too.  Their shows are usually insane parodies of the industry. Check out previous E3 shows.

Thanks. I wish they made it easier to watch it on TV. I guess I can setup Twitch on one of my consoles.

I had no interest in the new Star Wars game until watching that 15 minutes of gameplay during EA's conference.

I'm all about it, Destiny is in a pretty good spot right now.

To Bungies credit The Forsaken was really good. Probably the best time I have had playing it and loved the bow. The other two DLC's not so much. I just wish they would explore new areas and slap in a few new enemies that are not reskins of existing enemies.  Getting away from Activision was a good start. I am more interested in what Destiny 3 can bring.

I thought the most interesting part of Microsoft's show was their new Flight Simulator game. Too bad I'll never have a PC that could run it properly.

Slept through it and the Bethesda show. Checked my e-mail after waking up and see Gearbox talking about a new free DLC for Borderlands 2. Best E3 Ever!

Yeah, it's 5GB or so, if you have BL2 or Handsome Collection. Handsome also now has a free 4K texture pack for D/L.

Also you can create a character that starts at level 30 (not limited to one use). Main game is considered complete up to the final boss fight.  Played a bit earlier and plan for more tonight. Got some really crap weapons to start with but I took a quick trip to see my buddy Tinder Snowflake for some descent loot and eridium. They only start you out with Blue Level Ammo count so it will be needed. Would have just gone Golden key but it's broken on my end, at least the ones I have entered through the website. They show up as redeemed on the site and in game but no keys. Only one that worked was the one you get for installing the DLC.

This gun will be mine as I planned to run through Tiny Tina's DLC again because it was so good.

For free DLC it was pretty good. Had a few new features. Got 5+ hours from it. So far 5 different Rainbow drops and a ton of Legendary. One of the Rainbow drops was a sniper that had a female giving sexy talk while you sniped (had more than a couple lines too). All the hours I have put into this game and still have not had a single Pearlescent drop. End boss killed me once but was not that bad.  Farm the crap out of the Mini-Boss Uranus. It drops a Rainbow and a Legendary almost every time.  Tried the Raid Boss, which I had no problem with it's previous form in an older DLC. Three tries and lasted at most two minutes. 60 Eridium down the drain. Might need to respec and definitely need a better shield. Have Soloed all the previous Raid Bosses but this one could be trouble.

I had no idea Borderlands was free this month with PS+. I'm going to have to download it and check it out.

Pretty meh E3 this year. The free DLC for Borderlands 2 was my highlight, followed by the Breath of the Wild Sequel and Link's Awakening remake. Bought the Switch at launch just to play BOTW and sold it after a couple hundred hours of playing it while it was profitable to sell it since they were still in such demand.  Will keep an eye on the new Switch in the works to see if they decide to give it a little more power. I doubt we will see BOTW2 until 2020 or later.

Even Phil Spencer thinks E3 wasn't as good without Sony there: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/e3-isnt-as-good-without-sony-there-xboxs-phil-spen/1100-6467765/ (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/e3-isnt-as-good-without-sony-there-xboxs-phil-spen/1100-6467765/)

A surprise E3 treat. The legend returns.  Also the end with the "stop harassment" segment followed by what came next.  ;D
