I guess it depends on what games you were looking forward to, April had some interesting games but the main focus was VR, now I'm not bashing VR in the slightest, but since I've never used it, I can't say anything really appealed to me, other than perhaps No Man's Sky getting VR which I imagine will be pretty amazing and could tip me over the edge :P

This month was so much better for me simply because I was looking forward to seeing more of MediEvil, wasn't expecting the Monster Hunter World expansion to get a slot but it's definitely looking pretty darn amazing, and of course we got the (not really a) surprise trailer for Final Fantasy VII Remake at the end, which has kicked my hype levels up another notch, especially with news that we'll see/hear more next month too!

Like I said though, I guess it just depends on the games you're looking forward to

I was more comparing number of good games show and presented. And yes I like VR.

Away was a good surprise.

I liked this one.

The first one looked just like a bunch of trailers for games that most don't give a danm. This time, MH and FFVII made it special.

Shame it's too short though.

They just white washed the hell out of Barret. Lighter skin and his hair doesn't even resemble black hair anymore.

Other than that game looks good. Doesn't seem like the XV combat but more so Crisis Core.

Really? He didn't look 'washed out' for me.

Seems harsh but the best things they shown were MH/FFVII and they don't really add much, the MH stream right after was better and we knew that we probably would have seen more FFVII at E3. Why a small teaser for FFVII? Teasers should be for a new game. Imagine seeing a red haired women run trough a forest and hear a T-rex Roar.......Dino Crisis see more at E3 that's an great teaser. Predator was a good announcement but except for the name I am not excited for the game...:s. For sony it is lackluster and it should not be hard to make it better. I wish they still did PS2 games on PS4. Release more of them (the SMT games/persona etc) and announce them at state of play and people would be happy.

The first state of play was ten tumes better for my taste and wants but it's good some people are happy with this, at ten minutes Iw asn't expectig much and got what I expected. Good to see F7R coming along and with a more realisticly set graphical ceiling shich is great as we may actually get all three parts before 10th gen.

I'd rather have two big games than 10 small games. This state of play looked more extraordinary while the first one looked too ordinary to me.

I still don't like that carousel like animation they use to connect everything, it looks too much like Nintendo Direct format. I still hope they stop being cheap and make a true programme with presenters and some commentary.



God bless You.

My Total Sales prediction for PS4 by the end of 2021: 110m+

When PS4 will hit 100m consoles sold: Before Christmas 2019

You casually blurt out major story events. They don't have to piece anything together because you told them exactly what happens.
No one who plays the game for the first time and

Spoiler!
gets on that boat wants to know that they'll encounter Sephiroth. That's supposed to be a surprise. Nobody wants to know beforehand that Sephiroth was presumed dead, but is alive.

And my comment simply stated that you don't meet Sephiroth in Junon. Insinuating that you named the wrong city/location, again, like how thismeintiel corrected your earlier location.

You should have picked up on it, and left it at that. Instead you're specifying incredibly unnecessary things. You even repeated what I had inside my spoiler tag, without using a spoiler tag...
So I had to edit them into your post.

And I sincerely doubt you know the story.
You complained about a flashback, but then when corrected on it claimed it was about in person. Even though you specifically said flashback.
You casually blurt out a ton of story spoilers, but when corrected on something, claim you were concerned about spoilers.

I see a pattern.
If someone corrects you on something, then you give an explanation that doesn't make sense.
But even after you claimed you were concerned about spoilers, you still repeated what I said inside my spoiler tag, without using any.
You're not even trying to make this look convincing.

So you clearly don't care about that.

Also, refrain from condescending name calling like you tend to do. You were warned about the same thing just a few days ago.
Normally you'd get another warning for that, but I'll just remind you here again.

Oh and from now on, use spoiler tags whenever you talk about anything story related.

How does mentioning a headless Jenova, Sephiroth's sword, and Cloud reminiscing about his past in Kalm reveal any spoilers?

Are you insinuating that those details give away key plots to the overarching story? I didn't divulge any info on Cloud's story time in Kalm, did I?

I'm 31 years old, and chances are that I played FF7 way before you. But regardless of possible age difference, I know the story. Which you do too. 

The reason I belittled you is because you found it necessary to get hung up on a detail you THOUGHT I missed (Sephiroth not actually being "in the flesh" on the Junon Boat) and you had to assert your knowledge on the matter without actually contributing to the argument that I'm making, or at least trying to make. Clearly you pride yourself by looking smart on forums, which is why you said "And I sincerely doubt you know the story." and "technically, you don't meet him in the flesh on the Junon Boat either".

Do you have anything to contribute to why I think that Sephiroth appearing that early in the game is "shitty writing" other than politely gloat about your knowledge that you assumed I didn't have?

I don't believe I said that about Kalm, and I didn't mention Sephiroth's sword. Describing Jenova's state was unnecessary at best, but the two main ones were the ones I mentioned in the spoiler tag in the comment you just quoted, which you ignored to address for some reason.
Surely you can understand why someone wouldn't want to be told that their pleasant, let's say train ride, will turn into a surprise encounter with the main antagonist? They'd want to be surprised while playing the game. Likewise, hearing about Sephiroth

Spoiler!
being presumed dead, but apparently being alive

is also not something I want to hear from someone before I start playing the game. At the very least, it would bug me up until I get to the point in the game where I find out how much of an impact that prior knowledge had.
And the way this Remake will shape up, I won't even know the answer to that until I play the game. This time around they could start off by making the player

Spoiler!
think he is alive, and finding out that he supposedly got killed a few years ago becomes a twist that puts into question all the things you've seen up until that point.

Spoiling doesn't merely come down to key story elements, but a person's enjoyment of the story. If their enjoyment is diminished because of unnecessary information they were told by someone, then that is a problem. 

And you seem to often either take things, or make things, personal.
For instance; "I'm 31 years old, and chances are that I played FF7 way before you."
Now I actually have an interesting story about this, but I don't want to reply with it because you presented it as a silly pissing contest.

If someone thinks you are misinformed (with good reason might I add) and tries to inform you of something, you don't have to take it so personally. And it does not mean that they are gloating. I even tried to keep it subtle, until after you started with personal attacks. And at that point, you think I should not have said that I doubt you know the story?
I don't know what world you live in where you just expect people to just take that from you, and if they don't you act as if it was unwarranted.

And let's be clear on one thing. I was not the only one who thought you missed some details. Everyone talking to you about this seemed to be under that impression. @twintail thought the scene you accused of being poorly written may just be a red herring (it does not look to take place in the reactor that you described). @thismeintiel thought you were mistaken about when Sephiroth first appears in a flashback. And I was under that same impression, partially due to your initial claim of poor writing, which I'll get into in a bit, and also how you said you were refering to in-game encounters, even though you clearly said your issue was with a flashback. Which lead to me to think you may have been mistaken regarding the other event you described as well.

So you have yourself to blame for coming off as someone who forgets or doesn't notice details. What part of the Sephiroth scene in the new trailer looked like it took place in the reactor? Because it doesn't look anything like the reactor we've seen so far. So the fact that you didn't notice that means you probably didn't even consider that the scene may take place somewhere else. Even though you complained about it.

I still don't understand why you brought up in-person encounters with Sephiroth. How does when you encounter him in-person contribute to making a flashback scene shitty writing, if it occurs before leaving Midgar?

And FYI, when you say things like "Clearly you pride yourself by looking smart on forums", and then follow it up with "I'm 31 years old, and chances are that I played FF7 way before you", you look like you're projecting your own issues with pride.
In fact, the mod team discussed your behavior a while ago, and you do come off as someone who takes or makes things personal out of nowhere. You got yourself in trouble just a few days ago for doing exactly that, when calling another person 'dumb as hell' out of the blue. And conversations with people like that rarely pan out well.

Case in point, even after you said you were concerned about spoilers, you went out of your way to repeat what I said inside my spoiler tags, outside of any, and draw as much attention as possible to the fact that there may be an additional meaning to something I said, and how...

And look at this from my perspective. You initially described a flashback scene as taking place 'inside the reactor', when it looks nothing like a reactor, as "shitty writing" because of when Sephiroth is introduced.
When someone pointed out that Sephiroth is introduced way earlier than you described, you said you meant "in-person encounters" even though you specifically stated that your issue was with a flashback. And you didn't explain the correlation between the flashback and in-person encounters.
So when you then went on to describe another event, is it my fault for thinking that you may be mistaken again, or that your understanding of that event may be relevant to whatever your issue is with flashback vs in-person encounters?
I expected you to explain all of that by now, rather than what you're doing here instead.

So within your next post, I want all of these questions thoroughly explained.
Specifically, why exactly you brought up in-person encounters, and how that relates to what you said about it being shitty writing if there's a flashback scene before you leave Midgar rather than right after.
And do use spoiler tags when dealing with story related elements.

And I did tell you not to make the argument about the other person, rather than what they said.

Hiku, I love your patience. Bravo!
