That was quite the long one, but it had a good amount of content. I'm going to give it a C, but that's because I just don't like extended skits and chatter.

Aside from that, it had a shallow start but ramped up in the second half. If it were up to me I would make some cuts to condense it into 1 hour.

[Labadal]

Found a few interesting games, but they should stop with all the fluff. Rated it a C.

 

[TintoConCasera]

I skipped this one.

Will checkout the Outward 2 gameplay later. Also wondering what's the point of a DE for the first CoH game. Is Relic running out of money?

It's a remnant of E3 shows. They should have let them go when E3 died.

 

[March Climber]

Also here's the free game they revealed during the show.

 

[MrCunningham]

I have to give it a D based on my previous event scores. The PC Gamer Show was kid of weak this year. Some interesting surprises. The worst one of JunE3 so far.

 

[IDKFA]

C for me.

Total War 40K looks crazy. Fuck knows how they'll get that running on a series S.

 

[pudel]

Total War Warhammer, Vampire Masquerade CRPG and Thief remaster looks good to me. Maybe overlooked something...but anything else was quite bad (-> not my cup of tea).

 

[NeverYouMind]

This show had nothing for me...

 

[SantaC]

Better than sonys showing for sure thanks to Persona.

[kiphalfton]

Is the vampire the masquerade game associated with bloodlines 2... Because I thought that flopped.

 

[Mortisfacio]

Didn't vote because I didn't watch. I'll catch the thief, warhammer and some other trailers. I'm PC primary, but so many of these were cringe and had little games I was interested in so I stopped watching.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Any links to this showcase?

 

[Denton]

I learned years ago that these are unwatchable due to horrible production decisions, so no watch and no score from me.

 

[March Climber]

Any links to this showcase?

Here's the full thing:



Pre show+show made it about 2 hours in length.

Thanks I can sit here with a beer and watch now that the lawn is mowed and Relax.

Unsure, but it is a CRPG this time.

And I'm worried if this CRPG fails to sell like the other games then we may never see VtM again for years to come.

That's just a feeling though. Maybe there's more to it behind the scenes.

Its a different studio and a different publisher. Doesnt look like these are connected.

 

[Germuso]

Any boomer shooter, i mean, good shooter

They were shown on another showcase, here:

https://www.neogaf.com/threads/medi...-showcase-recap-thread.1697577/post-271630059

But PC Gaming show had one, Time Strike

[DeepEnigma]

This could've been an email.

 

[MiguelItUp]

D for me personally. I was thinking there would be at least one thing that I would be really interested in, but nope. I was hoping for Hunger or Aliens Fireteam Elite 2 news.

This year Future Games Show and Indie Mix took the better trailers from PC Gaming Show.

Also it didn't help them that indie shooter devs were mostly absent this year.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Some interesting games.
I grabbed the Steam demos for a few
Wind Runners
Maximum Thunderness
Rivage
Ascenders Beyond the Peak
To Kill a God

And added Into the Wind to the Wishlist

I've already play one round of Maximum Thunderness
This games reminds me of Castle Crashers but with bullets.
It's one of those Bullet heaven type Rouge games like Vampire survival.
Upgrade your weapons and get as far as you can before dying.
I like it.

 

[diffusionx]

it was fucking horrible. tons of garbage that belonged in the gay conference and the only stuff worth a damn was remasters of 20+ year old games

 

[Danjin44]

I skipped this one.

Same.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Really shit

Like bottom of the barrel scraps

 

[icecold1983]

This and every other pc focused show are always the worst of the year. Just a nonstop stream of absolute shovelware.

 

[Arsic]

It's mind boggling that the most visual powerhouse platform (PC), every year has the show with the largest assortment of fucking flash games people couldn't even pay me to play.

They need to learn how to front load and end with some hype shit, get exclusive gameplay on a 5090 maxed out juicer game or two, and make this worth tuning into.

As is it's actually shittier than Devolvers show.

 

[GreenAlien]

I liked it. Quite a few titles I am at least nominally, pending on steam reviews, interested in.

Unfortunately I don't know what they can do about this. Geoff, Playstation, and Xbox take almost all of the high fidelity AAA trailers. Nintendo, Future Games Show and Indie Mix then take the high value AA, B, and indie games.

PC Gaming Show is pushed into a corner due to this.
