Which games made a significant impression on you? Did any games actually lose hype that you may have had prior to this E3?
Nintendo
-Lost hype for Star Fox. It looks pretty bad. I look at games like Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon and I can't believe Star Fox is made by the same people. I was looking forward to it, but now It's a cheapie bin or buy 2 get 1 free purchase for me.
-Meanwhile, hype levels went off the chart for Super Mario Maker. Changing games on the fly? Holy shit. It looks fantastic.

-Yoshi's Woolly World looked like a lot of fun, so that went into the must buy category for me.
-Fuck Amiibos. Just fuck those things.
Microsoft
-I'm excited about Tomb Raider. I really enjoyed the reboot and can't wait to get my hands on the sequel.
-Cuphead might be my favorite trailer from E3 2015 to show people. The art style is off the charts and leaves such a great impression.
-I've been looking forward to Below since it was announced last year. It's shaping up to be a lot of fun.
-Most of the indie games MS showed attracted my interest.
-The Rare Collection seems like a lot of bang for the buck. $30 for 30 games and many of them have high replay value.
Sony
-Uncharted 4 may have been the best looking console game at the show, and that's saying a lot because overall the graphics took a big jump this year.
-No Man's Sky is quite the experiment. I look forward to messing around with it, but I'm not sure how long the legs will be. It looks like it might get repetitive. I want a release date soon.
-First party output is pretty thin for Sony this, but I plan on buying all of my multiplatform games on this console, so I have tons of games to look forward to this year.
The Rest
-For the first time ever, I'm not really thrilled about CoD. It's been years since I bought any map pack DLC and I'm not going to start anytime soon either. Everything being future oriented has made them blend together a bit too much for my liking. I'll get the game, but it may not be a Day 1 purchase for me this year. Well, it has zombies, so who am I kidding?
-Halo 5 looks like another Halo. I like Halo games, so I guess I'll get it. I'm not chomping at the bit or anything over it though.
-Star Wars Battlefront, on the other hand, I am about as hyped as one could be. I've loved everything about this game that I have seen and it looks beautiful.
-Forza 6 looks nice, but I'll only buy technical racers on sale or in GOTY packages...also on sale. I just don't play them enough to warrant a full purchase price.
-Metal Gear Solid V is part of a franchise that never really grew on me. Cheapie bin game.
-I want to like Rainbow 6: Siege but the idea of talking over every single detail of a raid via voicechat with strangers makes me want to shoot myself in the face.
-I already Preorderd the Fallout 4 Pip-Boy edition.

-Just Cause 3
could be my most anticipated game of December, trumping Xenoblade Chronicles which I have been keen on for over a year. If this feature trailer doesn't get you excited, then maybe this isn't the hobby for you!

I skipped over a lot of games, but I'm not going to make a note for every single game. I think my tally was around 65 for games that I want someday that were shown at this E3. Overall, I thought this was the best E3 in years.
