So.

Just gonna toss this out there.

The Xbox One looks like the Atari 5200 and a VCR had a child. I'm not bashing the system, BUT IT DOES. Before, with the initial release pictures, I called it a broom closet because the system looked massive. With release pictures now, it doesn't look quite so big anymore. This is PS3 fat though. I'm really surprised. (and I get it's supposed to be the all in one supreme system mastermind of entertainment but this is 2013, I expected a potato chip.)

With E3 all out and about I'm not ABSOLUTELY AMAZED at all the games and developments that have come into the light but I am most pleasantly surprised. I realize today is the last day but I doubt it will hold a lot of surprises since most of the reveals have been made already.

SO SADDLE UP KIDDIES. THIS'LL BE A LONG ONE.

DESTINY. Xbox360&One/PS3&4
Holy s**t. Did everyone see that beautiful thing that was beautiful and looked like Halo and it was beautiful? I did. This game is apparently going to be much like an amoeba phenomenon with events happening that aren't always predictable. It's been described as 'alive'. This excites me. Greatly. With enough people playing, the game will constantly match you to players who are similar, in either region of game, style or progress. Of course the game is an FPS with elements of sandbox which sounds like great fun and a high selection of weapons and a large library of customization. If anyone has seen the movie Summer Wars, the things they have planned for this game feel very much inspired by OZ.

Watch Dogs. Xbox360&One/PS3&4
I've waited and waited and waited for more on this game to be released because it struck when it was showcased a year ago. It's modern and it's edgy and its set in Chicago, what more could you want? Well, besides the fact that as the main character, you can hack into absolutely anything. Be it cellphones, traffic lights or banks. Using stealth and your cell phone you complete the tasks assigned to you, whether hacking, parkour or combat.

The Division
An online action shooter/rpg. According to IGN. From the gameplay, it seems to be set in Brooklyn, NY. This game looks smooth. The character interaction is fluid and impressive. Lots of intelligent A.I which is bad news for me. I suck at these games. This is a game meant to immerse you, with HUD visible at all times though for a nice quick change menu.

The Order:1886. PS4
WHAT. IS THIS THAT NEW IP? OMG SONY. The Order is this Steampunk type game, possibly horror/fps. It looks lovely. I love these games, whether it be Fallout or Bioshock. This is what I love best. The graphics were crisp, detail exquisite, cool uniforms and nice guns. There isn't much else I'd ever ask for.... Maybe main player customization. but that's it! I swear!

Legend of Zelda Wind Waker HD. WiiU
******** yes. Moving on.

Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. 3DS
A new Zelda title for the 3DS and YES. It's not Majora's Mask, but I think this is better! This is apparently set in the same world as a Link to the Past. I love this idea. I've heard so many classic gamers put a Link to the Past in their top 5 game choices no matter what. Many people have not had a game released in years like it. There's something about the SNES epic games like Legend of Zelda, Chrono Trigger or Final Fantasy that are never implemented in today's game market but it's a beautiful thing to see it happen. I am looking forward to this title, even though I love Ocarina of Time THE MOST, a Link to the Past will always be in my 4 year old heart.

Super Smash Bros. WiiU/3DS
Mega Man. MegaMan? Megaman! GO SEARCH THAT s**t. HOMG. Animal crossing villager, I love you, Wii Fit trainer you're weird, I kinda like you but MOVE ASIDE. New roster and Megaman is Official. Like Official. You CANNOT get any more official. For a solitary moment I felt bummed that it wasn't X in the roster, but after seeing the gameplay trailer, it warmed my heart to see how well he fit in the game. This is what Megaman NEEDED. I can't be much happier than this. Now I would just love to see who else has been added cause s**t I love Super Smash, I'll buy it as many times as I need.

Final Fantasy XIII Lightning Returns.
I really want to be excited for this. I do but this Final Fantasy segment has long overstayed its welcome. Many will not agree with me but the amount of ******** I give about this series and it's characters is dangerously low. XIII was fine, we had our standard characters and an AMAZING battle system. I cared about them, in the end. It took time. Then XIII-2 just killed it. I did not enjoy the game. at all. Whatever redeeming qualities in XIII were killed by it's time traveling sequel. With that said, I find myself skeptical at the newest installment. Clearly inspired by Mirror's Edge, Assassins Creed, Saboteur and any other parkour/freestyle games that have appeared, I find myself shrugging at the trailer and moving on.

Final Fantasy XV
******** FINALLY SQUARE ENIX. GOD. Originally Versus XIII. This title seems to be properly on its way in development. There are 12 characters in this game, from the looks of the trailer and one looks like an Assassin. I guess the look is popular now. Still. I am looking forward to this. It just took a long while.

Kingdom Hearts III
After Dream Drop Distance, I was expecting this. Does the Kingdom Heart series need a another installment? No. I don't think it does. It doesn't stop me from being a 12 year old school girl falling in love with a whole new world all over again. This is what people wanted though. After Kingdom Hearts II, The Keyblade War was supposed to be the next game, but it was Birth by Sleep that we got and on a handheld, no less. Chain of Memories, 358/2, re:coded were just inbetweens and I feel bad for saying it but they were kinda terrible. I hope III can bring it's unique charm back to the stage and offer a new segment in the story with new characters.

Assassin's Creed 4 Black Flag. Cross Platform.
It's Ubisoft. This franchise has chiseled it's way into my heart and it's going nowheres. I wonder where the series will go now. How it will move ahead. My favorite Assassin is Altair and as the series falls further and further from it's origin I wonder if it's end will be satisfactory or I'll feel this big gap in my heart. I doubt highly this is the last installment but I do wonder what they can add. Also Kenway looks like a boss and acts like it.

It's system time, it's system time. I would love to go on about the games BUT I mean the systems are pretty big s**t too. I'll save the rest of the games for later.

Xbox One.
Blue Ray/DVD, Game DVR, 500 GB hard drive, Cloud Storage, voice commands, streaming capabilities, constant internet connection. Hm. Pretty standard stuff. No backwards compatibility though? Well s**t. And that game sharing option? DRM? limitation? thingy? What the hell microsoft?
Also, I find the price tag isn't as steep as it could be but I'm very sure it's because of the fact the Kinect is automatically bundled with each system. 499$ isn't the FIVE HUNDRED AND NINETY-NINE U.S DOLLARS of the PS3 back in 2006 but of the current newest gen systems, it IS the most expensive.

PS4.
HALLELUJAH. I won't lie. I am excited for this system. Very much so. Specs then, in comparison to the Xbox One. Blue Ray/DVD, 500GB hard drive, Gai Kai, steaming capabilities. Standard, yet lacking the DVR of the One. Bonuses though. Sharing or used games are not an issue, also no backwards compatibility here but Gai Kai should fix that, I assume. Also a whopping 399$ in price. I am buying this system regardless with that price tag. It's also smaller. hahaha.

Seriously. Why do the One and PS4 look so funny? The Wii U looks great and you get these two honkies struttin' looking like they came out of Star Trek. I think I'll wait for the slim versions to be released. Then pick them up.
