I had an amazing time playing Divinity Original Sin 2 co-op.
So much fun. 

Can't wait to see what this game looks like.

Hyped:

-Microsoft: I don't game on the Xbox, but now that they are releasing more stuff on Steam they have my attention. I'm hoping to see Sea of Thieves on Steam.
-PC Gaming Show: They had a solid amount of really interesting indies last year. I'm very interested to see what they have this year.
-Ubisoft: I'm hoping for Watch Dogs 3
-Nintendo: ANIMAL CROSSING
-Baldur's Gate 3: not sure which conf this will be revealed at, but im very hyped.

Mildly Interested:
-Bethesda: They aren't talking about TES or Starfield this year. I'm somewhat interested in the new Doom and Wolfenstein.
-Devolver: the devolver conferance is really more for the show than the games.
-Square Enix: Avengers game?

For those of you excited about this and Microsoft's recent announcement that it'll bring it's catalog to Steam:
I'm not sure how they would accomplish Game Pass via Steam.

My understanding is that if you end your Game Pass subscription, you lose access to Game Pass games.

Steam currently doesn't have a way of enabling/disabling access in that way. 

I'd assume that this PC Game Pass would have to be done via the Windows Store or the Windows Xbox app (both of which are hot garbage IMO)

This game is 100% my jam.

I'd be interested if they truly can detect and launch any game from any launcher.
Discord claims to do this, but it doesn't detect about half of my games...

I honestly can't believe they didn't coordinate with the devs/publishers on this sale.

I'm so hyped. They showed off so much good stuff in the on-stage reveal. 

Handful of random things that made me super giddy:
-Destructible cover

-Kicking/punching barrels towards enemies and then blowing them

-Guns with freaking legs that shoot missles

-Tracker bullets

-How amazingly colorful this game is

GAH!

I WANT IT NOW!

@Zaku3 - a FIG investor who posts at ResetERA estimated that Epic paid about $2.25 million for the Phoenix Point EGS exclusivity.

 

Don't worry @AshsToAshs - I'm not gonna ask you to confirm this 

👀

Damn... was really hoping for a historical Japan/China setting

Switch is cool and all... but when are they ever gonna get around to making the "Nintendo On"???

When the announcement was made this was not mentioned. It is unclear if this was originally part of the plan. 

I know for a fact that taking care of investors has always been the plan.

As a Fig investor, you only profit off sales so you see none of the Fortnite money and all of the zero sales on EGS. 

 

Untrue. All investors should have gotten a message letting them know they'll be getting something from the Epic deal.

Looks so damn cool

I just don't "get" Dreams yet.

It's basically an extremely advanced level editor.

They are creating the tools for their community to create the actual game.

And, IMO, that never really turns out great.

LittleBigPlanet had a great level editor, however I still think the best and most well designed levels were the ones made by the developers themselves.

And what's worse is they've been working on this for 5+ years now.

There are amazing artists and designers at that studio, and IMO I sorta feel like their efforts are being spent on a game that won't get much traction.

Still no Toejam and Earl 3? 
Pffft.

No doubt this will be announced at X018

Well this was a bust. No announcement. 

Isn't this game wholely owned by Microsoft? 
If so, I'll be very shocked to see it on Steam.
Microsoft has only been doing PC games recently with their garbage MS Store/Xbox App

Viva Pinata 3 or i riot 

I still have the collectors edition box  >>

Super interesting to see someone that large talk so openly about their numbers.

And, just to point out the obvious, this video should be titled "How much money do the TOP Twitch streamers really make".

You need to be averaging 200 subscribers a month to even make minimum wage. 

And, I'll say as someone that averages ~200 average viewers per stream, ad views are worthless. They are peanuts compared to the other sources of month on Twitch. 

I got to play it for 10-15 minutes this weekend at PAX West.

Swinging around and navigating the city was extremely enjoyable.

Combat was fun, but as my demo was time limited I really just focused on swinging around.

Day 1 purchase for me.
