All of them? So many great games announced at this E3, it's hard to choose just one. Best E3 in years IMO. Zelda, Horizon, Detroit, God of War, Sea of Theives, Battlefield 1, even Call of Duty pleasantly surprised me. Can't wait to play them all.

Definitely the worst show of the E3 2015, and possibly of all time. It definitely looks like they're holding out for next gen.

Nintendo "next-gen" = another woefully under-powered console.

Nintendo is incapable of coming up with an original IP. I think people mistake what they do with somehow being original or doing their own thing. No, I don't believe that's it. I just think they are completely out of touch, they have lost the ability to come up with original ideas, and are just milking the same franchises because that's all they know how to do.

Nintendo needs new blood, and it's a joke at this point for them to ask people to purchase hardware just to play their games. It's not enough anymore.

So far I'm pretty unimpressed. It feels like a less-fun version of Borderlands. Everything is a massive bullet sponge, bosses especially. After a while, it just feels tedious, not enjoyable. I was also hoping it was an open world game, like Guild Wars or something, but it's not, it's just a mission hub. I hate that you spend, literally, 40 minutes on a boss fight and he drops nothing. Sure you get a reward at the end, but it would be much more satisfying if the boss dropped something, or a loot crate. I don't like how the mobs just spawn on top of you at times. That's just poor design in my opinion.

The weapons feel really lame. I picked up a rifle that supposedly does fire damage (I guess), but there was no graphical effect to reflect this. It's the kind of game I can imagine playing for a week, then never picking it up again. Why should I? Borderlands does the same and it is deeper and a lot more fun. Where are my skill trees or character customization in Destiny? It feels like a game that is 5 years too old already (in regards to the mechanics, the graphics were very nice).

It's not a bad game, but it's not a great game either. They either need to make the weapons more powerful, or the bosses more interesting. They aren't particularly challenging, just tedious. I found myself resorting to doing a lot of melee because it does so much more damage than any of the guns. That's just ridiculous and unacceptable, it just makes no sense (Halo suffered from the same imbalance but this feels much more extreme). Not being able to "fight for your life" when you go down, ala Borderlands or Guild Wars is lame too.

I'm just very unimpressed. It's Halo with loot, I was hoping for a lot more given all the hype. On the positive side, the multiplayer works great. No issues with connectivity or not being able to jump into a game with friends.
