This was a disappointing Gamescom live stream.
Best part was the Terrance gameplay trailer at the end of pre-show. Otherwise nothing new...still looking forward to Monster Hunter Wilds and Civ 7, tentatively excited for City of the Wolves.

Pretty excited about the following: lost record it has the quarry vibes but different style, new sniper elite looks good so does inZOI, dying light will be worth a play. Civilization 7 meh, thought I saw and a new tomb raider. Shattered space looks fun. Masters of alibi on look great. New mafia has my interest.

I guess Civ 7 might be cool, but I didn't like Civ 6, god I fucking hate that art style they used.

Genghis Khan being DLC was stupid also.

After how abominable the frickin' movie was, I don't think anyone should trust Randy with this IP anymore. He clearly doesn't understand why people like it.

I would've been really interested in this...if it wasn't a goddamn VR title. The necessity to buy a multi-hundred-dollar headset that's liable to cause headaches and nausea is a major turn-off, as is the Facebook exclusivity.

Peter Molyneux takes the stage.
Oh no, not that asshole. How is he still a part of the gaming scene‽

Only 6 out of 45 total for me. That counts as a failure show in my book.

Randy and his goons should have left the gaming scene years ago. His death grip on the Duke Nukem franchise is a massive insult and middle finger to their fans. The Borderlands movie is the icing on his slimy cake.
