Andrew POE!

I saw the 9 minute gameplay footage and I'm strangely excited for AC Syndicate (will the next AC be called AC Theme Park though? Or AC Populous?). I'll get it when it's $40 on Black Friday though.

Mass Effect 4 AND Fallout 4 at this year's E3?

Conan O'Brien doing the Waterhag voice should be DLC IMO.

I'm fully expecting The Phantom Pain to get yanked for that same reason by August 31. I don't think it will but who knows. I wouldn't put it past Konami to not even give review copies out of spite to every site (IGN, Giant Bomb, etc.). Judging by their past behavior and what they've done this year, I think MGS V will either have a low circulation run or won't be found in retailers during the first week. Also, from what I understand about it, Konami's pulling P.T. demo actually got them in trouble with Sony based on what the fine print in the TOS say.

That's Konami. Nintendo is pretty close -- as more details come out about Splatoon, the less and less I want it. It's like an online only PS2 game at this point. No chat online? No party match making? No streaming allowed? It should be their Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare, but they are fumbling badly.

What else would Nintendo have to show? Honestly they seem less and less interested in actually releasing new software for their systems. All they have to do at this is say that there will be a "Gold Link" Amiibo and people WILL buy it. The games that people want (a new F-Zero, a new Metroid, new IP's, a new Mario game for Wii U, Animal Crossing for Wii U, etc.), Nintendo doesn't want to do. The 50 and 60 year olds in charge of Nintendo won't let that happen. They are just counting all the money from Amiibo sales because people are gullible. I halfway expect them to announce more "New 3DS" games like Metroid Prime 3D, Super Mario Sunshine 3D, Paper Mario TTYD 3D, F-Zero GX 3D and maybe Super Smash Bros Brawl 3D. I don't think we'll get a release for "Zelda Wii U" just more in-progress footage of the game or even a story teaser. Oh and Etrian Odyssey Untold 2 will get a release date at E3 along with possible release dates for SMT x FE and FE if.

I usually make predictions on E3 and surprised at how close I am to being correct. Here's mine for this year: 1) Gears of War Reloaded (not Remastered) is announced and will be coming to Xbox One in Holiday 2015. With Halo 5 Guardians on October 27th and Rise of the Tomb Raider in Holiday 2015, I expect Gears of War Remastered to take a portion of Microsoft's E3. We'll see a Xbox One Gears of War teaser which is likely to be the "Resident Evil 4" of the series (stays true to the Gears of War standard tropes but with new wrinkles). 2) Sony will have two more Remastered games: Uncharted Collection Remastered and God of War Ascension Remastered. Both will be in the Fall 2015. UC Remastered will have a UC4 multiplayer beta. GOW Ascension Remastered will include a demo of GOW4 once that's available. 3) "Destiny Comet" (you remember from the leaked contract?) will be announced and will probably have some lame subtitle. My guess: Destiny - Comet's Trail. More missions, Crucible mode, increased level cap, you'll get better Engrams promise, the story might make sense, no you can't kill the Cryptarch sorry. 4) Galak-Z and Everybody's Gone to the Rapture will get US release date for Sony's big "Fall PSN event." They'll also announce the other games for the event -- Galak-Z, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, Aszu, Rime, and No Man's Sky. I will go full on Phoenix "I CAN'T CONTROL IT!" at that. 5) Watch_Dogs 2 will be announced by Ubisoft and you won't play as Aidan so you should be happy. Assassin's Creed Victory is announced and it will be out in November and it may or may not be buggy. 6) Rayman Legends 2 for PS4/XB1 will be announced along with Valiant Hearts: The Second World War and Child of Light 2. Dean Evans' project after Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon will announced as well and will be amazing. 7) Dishonored II will be announced for PS4/XB1/PC. 8) Darksiders 3 will finally be a thing and will come from Nordic Games in Spring 2016. 9) Starfox Wii U will get a release date and more of Zelda Wii U will be shown. 10) Bloodborne will be announced as having DLC and probably will be called "The Hunter's Forgotten Dream" and will have Demon's/Dark Souls bosses. Dark Souls 3 will be announced for PS4/XB1/PC. I am probably wrong. I'm not Nostradamus.

I would love to see Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 on PS4/XB1. I also would really love to see Marvel Heroes as a console game. It worked for Diablo 3/UEE.

This is basically Andrew POE!'s Favorite Games Sale. The weirdo basement dwelling games that you don't want to admit to liking in public. Oh and Metal Gear Rising is $8 and Suikoden II is $4. The problem is you'll be giving Konami money.

They may patch it at some point but thanks for the warning on this. I'll probably get it during a flash sale. I usually buy everything on PSN but I can wait. Same with Broken Age which came out yesterday.

Resogun.You can thank me later. Tabe speaks the truth here. Also Bloodborne and DriveClub. And Killzone Shadowfall.

Hopefully Uncharted 4 would address that but Neil Druckmann has already said that he won't make the story 'grimdark.' So it really defeats the purpose/tone of the reveal trailer. In my mind, Uncharted 4 would have to have Nathan Drake face having killed hundreds of (albeit shady) people and it finally weighs on his conscience. But story-wise, Uncharted 2 is better although it does have a few unexplainable sections.

I Platinum'ed Uncharted 3 last night which turn into absolute BS towards the end. If I had to rank Uncharted's, it would be 2, 1, 3. The story wasn't/isn't as well developed as Uncharted 2. U3's story introduced aspects that were never followed up on

Activision did another Black Ops 3 trailer that essentially will make the game look like Deus Ex. I didn't ask for this.

Seth Rollins gets pinned by the WWE's new Golden Boy Roman Reigns. Cesaro loses. Sheamus cuts a promo about Ziggler's size. That's not going on, oh no siree.

Probably Ric Flair, even though I was too young to understand anything he said in interviews. His match against Steamboat at WrestleWar '89 stuck for me especially for the post match piledriver on Flair by Terry Funk. I found myself as a young Andrew POE! preferring NWA/WCW to WWF although half the gimmicks from them would not work nowadays (like Norman the Lunatic or Doom).

I ended up buying most of the PS4 games during the sale and also got Spelunker HD Ultimate (FINALLY), Ninja Gaiden 3 RE, EDF Insect Armaggedon, Toy Story 3 and some other PS3 PSN games. Gotta hunt them trophies.

The ideal would have been doing the Thrawn trilogy instead of the prequels, but what can you do? I have a feeling that elements of the Thrawn trilogy will find their way into Abrams' Ep. VII - IX. I'm wondering if Andy Serkis' character is going to be Thrawn like in his approach.

The new trailer said "This Christmas." Which looking at the calendar lands on a Friday this year. Disney is going to do it. I'm not even sure I want to see Avengers: Age of Ultron (or "Let's Fucking Do 'The Dark Knight' AGAIN).

Which is surprising but part of me hopes that CDProjekt will take their cues from BioWare and have it be like Mass Effect 2's DLC where it is essential to the story.

I also bought Axiom Verge because the lineup for Sony's Spring of Arcade -- I mean Spring Fever is incredible. I've heard it is ridiculously difficult to Platinum, so I'll be there.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided looks so good based on the reveal trailer. If it's more Deus Ex: HR but for PS4 that's fine. Part of me hopes it comes out the same time as Just Cause 3.

If there's any game that would make me want to get a Xbox One, it would be this. I'm glad it's getting delayed though. Although secretly I wish there was a PS4 equivalent game.
