What was your FAVORITE and least favorite game revealed at the Showcase? Lemme know in the comments! Also, I'll be streaming Shadow of the Erdtree in about 3 hours ua-cam.com/users/livejgfCOCzDoIU
Can't wait for shadow of the erdtree and gears d day aswell as the DOOT. Tho I'm saddened by the downfall of bioware. Even tho mass effect 3 had a badish ending, I still love those games and dragon age aswell... I do not like how dragon age veilguard looks 🥺
Zenimax did not need to announce TES6 publicly to jack up the price tag of Bethesda. They show MS the pre-production assignment table and some basic "products", and those alone would increase the sell price. Announce TES6 directly after spending the entire E3 on FO76 is more likely to be a preemptive damage mitigation move.
My buddy started playing Microsoft Flight Simulator a couple years ago. He got so into that in present day he’s close to earning his real solo pilot’s license.
You remember in Origins how they described the creation of Darkspawn Broodmothers? How the women were force fed taint and bile and were straight up violated until they eventually turned into those abominations? Yeah. That kind of writing wouldn't fly. I'll be surprised if Veilguard isn't rated T
Of course it wouldn't fly. Their cast of characters already proves it. Ugly females. Asian and Black elves lmao. Quirky funny haha avengers feeling trailer. They're making the same mistake Starfield did - taking zero risks. Having nothing controversial. Nothing eyecatching. Nothing that would get people talking. Just a bland fantasy world. I always enjoyed the dark setting of the Origins. It was great and defeating each of the encounters was thrilling.
For Father's day, I showed my dad who in his mid 60's, how to play OG Gears 1. He had so much fun that we played for like 6 hours. He has never played a shooter game on a Xbox before until now.
I'm glad to see it get a proper remaster. AoE is basically the only series keeping AAA RTS games alive, and I'm glad to see microsoft actually give it the love it deserves unlike... other companies. Obligatory RIP C&C o7 At least there are some new games clearly modeled after it coming out though. At least, that's what I keep telling myself 🥲
@@ICEYBro then if that’s the case it’s every Arkham game except suicide sqaud because despite being an arkhamverse game Batman’s not the main character
@@Kane.JimLahey.They carry the best combat system and Arkham city is one of the highest rated gags of all time. in fact, it’s one of the very few franchises where they were all great.
@@officegossip It's Kojima's vison for MGS1 brought to fruition. Whether or not you like it, it's what the man would've done if the PSX wasn't too potato at the time. And as said, it's not like it's any stupider than the rest of the series. You just have nostalgia for the PSX one. Snake jumping on top of a missile and firing a rocket is no more absurd than a man with a sheath directly in front of his crotch literally running on water, Raiden doing naked backflips, mechs and nanomachines existing in the mid-1960s, the entirety of Revolver Ocelot's character, or ANYTHING in MGS4. Why there are so many people who hate it purely because it alters some cutscenes to be just as stupid as the rest of MGS is absurd to me. For being into such a stupid schlocky series, y'all really believe MGS is high art. If you want an actual stealth game with a serious plot, play Splinter Cell. If you want Snake Plissken transplanted into futuristic anime James Bond, play MGS.
@@officegossip Also note that when you describe the "changes" in Twin Snakes to anyone who has never played an MGS game, NONE OF THEM see it as a negative. The only way you could hate it is if you SOMEHOW take this franchise that seriously.
Relax fanboy Playstation released over 5 games this year and Xbox released only 1, y'all wanna discredit Sony so bad but they released games instead of just showing games Like calm down lil bro
I got to agree there I was deeply disappointed we didn't even get a tease of ghosts of tsushima 2 but we get *10 minutes of Concord in state of play.😒*
The dude who sang that version of madworld uploaded a new live ver. of the song months ago and man it hits even more bc the man himself is older and his aging voice gives it a deeper weight to the whole performance
If you listen extremely closely a slowed down orchestral version of mad world actually plays during the entire trailer. Its super subtle but its there.
I'm on the same boat, most of these games look AMAZING and I kind of teared up a little seeing Dom rescuing Marcus, it's been a while since Gears 3. Indiana Jones looks amazing, MachineGames sure know how to make great NAT SEE villains and just the campy and adventurous tone of it, I love it. And of course Doom... SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!
I can't lie, the new game looks more like Mirror's Edge than PD. Not bad, but a bit of a bait and switch. I was more shocked that it was still coming out though, after all the stuff happening at Crystal D.
@@R3TR0J4N I feel like sticking to the style of OG PD/Timesplitters would've made it way more distinct than being another immersive sim in a market slowly getting flooded by them. And I say this as someone who owns every single ARMA game and their DLC. If I wanted old school Splinter Cell, Rainbow Six, or SWAT 4, I would play those or games like Ready Or Not and Ground Branch. When I play PD I want realistic environments and objective-based missions. Not first person splinter cell.
@@TheRafark Ha ha ha. No. Remove the grappling hook, see how fun it isn't. I'd much rather have the grappling hook in Minecraft, because the Elytra makes all other transportation--and the point of building anything--completely irrelevant. In Halo, I have to ask how a spike fired into a rock, a shielded enemy, or non-magnetic impenetrable surface, from underneath, can possibly support the weight of a half-ton Spartan from a single steel cable? It's like the charge, slide, and clamber abilities in Halo 5--all fun, and reasonable abilities to have for a human being, let alone a Spartan, but then you have ground pound, which essentially is an invisible grappling hook with splash damage. I'd ask what were they thinking, but more than half the fan base doesn't care. A gun that crushes skulls and fires bone shards? I want that in Halo! Surely that would be useful! Science fiction is the same genre as fantasy and horror, am I right?
@@DaraKelly-o5i Why are you NOT questioning the realism of a futuristic shooter? You said it yourself--it's futuristic. Not fantasy. All the UNSC weapons can be manufactured today. All of the UNSC vehicles and aircraft can also be manufactured today--although the spacecraft cannot. Covenant plasma weaponry and hovercars are under active development, with a few prototypes existing, and so are MACs. It's science fiction. It's futuristic. It's meant to be plausible. The reason why Halo has endured for over a decade without new quality entries is because it was futuristic science fiction, and that generates a lot more interest and discussion than games that aren't thought out properly. The Call of Duty franchise fanbase invariably attributes its success over Halo due to being more 'realistic'.
NO FKN WAY ITS ALREADY BEEN 6 YEARS SINCE ES6 ANNOUNCEMENT!!! WTF, I REMEMBER WHEN IT DROPPED AND THOUGHT ID GET IT WITHIN 2-3 YEARS. HOLY FK. GUNNA BE 2 YEARS INTO MY GTA6 ADDITICTION BEFORE IT DROPS...
At least Inquisition was fine, and DAO is still the best CRPG bioware ever made. But yeah, InXile and Obsidian are now my best friends. The king is dead, long live the king, etc.
For MGS, 3 is the best place to start, at least in terms of story, gameplay is a different argument but MGS 3 is a prequel, meaning everything in MGS Phantom Pain, 1, 2 and 4 has yet to happen. So if you wanna play the MGS 3 remaster, absolutely go for it.
Agree, I was like 7 when I was introduced to MGS 3 ps2 demo on a jam pack disc. Thank the lord, cause the Metal Gear story in general is one of my favorites still as a 25 year old.
MGS 3 and Twin Snakes are the best classic MGS games imo. "But twin snakes is stupid!" "Yes, that's why I like it. MGS is a stupid series, no matter what Kojima and his stans tells you."
What I still find off with the Gearo of War E Day trailer is that everybody speaks solely on the one moment when Mad World shows up when Dom speaks. The entire fight between marcus and the locust uses a more ambient version of Mad World, and you can actually track the melody fairly easy in it. I know im not the only one, but man the music done during the fight is WAY more engaging to me than the version when Dom shows up
Perfect Dark is definitely on my hype list. Fable, though, not so much. The game looks pretty meh overall, and the visuals (mainly the aesthetics) don't look that great. I'll keep an open-mind nonetheless.
Being entirely honest, i stopped caring after gears 3, because like... we'd won the fight, it was over.sure another game could be done, showing them cleaning up any remnants and maybe have a system yo repair. But instead they time jumped so far ahead that it became almost alien and bringinf the locusts back (and having humans fighting each other again... after everything that fucking happened, felt like nothing was learned during the war) so much negative witht hat one that i stopped, but eday? A return to form is what it needs, now they just need to stick the landing on execution.
@Gandalfthegoldenbird While yeah that's true, I just think it feels narratively weak. Like all that fighting was for nothing. Not even a decade or two of peace and prosperity?
@@coggear1135 while yes, HUMANITY WAS LITERALLY NEARLY WIPED OUT, you would think. Given anyone who survived saw the inital outbreak. Yes, the fighting would cease for a bit. Feels like the entire fight with marcus was for literally nothing.
I thought when I seen the notification it was a That's good sports winners and Losers but pleasantly surprised to see The act man doing his own winners and losers lol
@@sambrero3 Not as much as Steve Blum. But yeah, VA unions make sure you see the same credits everywhere and nobody else. Because who needs new talent when you can have favoritism?
@@ZackExplorer28 Any game that has union talent is typically forbidden from hiring non-union VA staff, which is most amateurs because the VA union only accepts you if you have some famous role to point at. That's why the best opportunities for new VAs have been Japanese studios that can't be bothered to deal with the American VA union's restrictions (Capcom, Namco, and Squenix among others). I'm not opposed to unions in general, but the VA union is basically self-serving cronyism rather than something to actually help everyone in the industry get fair treatment. You have to freelance to get a "Big break" and join the union, but you can't work on anything high-profile because you're not in a union. So you're just punished for existing.
E3 dying was a long time coming. It made sense back in the pre-internet era, but Nintendo demonstrated how much of an unnecessary cost it was in the early 2010s. Not to mention you're dividing the attention of consumers and press so much when you announce everything at once instead of doling it out over the year. The pandemic was just the nail in the coffin. TGS is still a thing though, if you're really married to the "fun" of industry showcases.
@@Ioganstone Because way before that Nintendo stopped having any physical presence at E3? They released Directs to coincide with E3, but they also had directs throughout the year and spent 0 money or time exclusively on E3.
@@warbossgegguz679 Ah, I just read the presenters, not this part. Starting in 2013, some of the major video game companies, particularly Nintendo and Electronic Arts, have opted not to showcase at E3. In Nintendo's case, they have foregone a large keynote presentation and instead have used pre-recorded Nintendo Direct While I'm sure this had an impact, for me E3 was really taking off around Fallout 4, I thought Nintendo was a kids game company that didn't have much to say, and always held back by a language barrier and travel. So when Sony stopped doing the event it felt like the first assault on the event itself. In my mind, maybe Nintendo could have had an in-person event back home once they grew into a more edgy company. But yes I didn't read that, but rather than pick, I would just expand the killer of E3 to be a group made up of EA, Nintendo and Sony.
I take it back, I saw the title and had a thought, then I watched the video and remember act man is an amazing content creator and 30 seconds just ain’t enough 🙏
One thing I liked about Gears 4 was your squad naming all of the Swarm enemies you found. It made me think "huh, so THAT'S how all of the Locust got their names". Really looking forward to that same "discovery" part of E-Day.
Hey Act man, I've been watching your videos for a long time, and this is my first time commenting. Your meme reactions in your videos are just perfect! I agree with a lot of what you said. I can't wait to see you play some Metal Gear. I really enjoyed them, and I'd love to see your reaction to how the games have changed over time.
I think if anything changes, the current trajectory is to just move away from hardware focus and focus on games. When windows already has a monopoly and PC gaming has grown so significantly in the past decade and a half, there's really no reason to keep sinking money into the console market. Especially when you basically can't compete with ninty without making a portable/hybrid console.
I’d love to get into the Xbox community but I’m not going anywhere near them if they’re going completely digital. It’s sad really there’s a lot of games I’d love to try New and old Like sunset overdrive Fable got my attention even though I haven’t seen any gameplay of it.
Yo, act man. about halo, remember halo Infinite is a 10 year game. We misread that, it wasn't because of ten years of content, it's because it's the only game we're likely to get for ten years. 2031 looking real good for halo, guys.😂
Where did you get this info? It was Marty Stratton, Exec for id who spearheaded the whole situation. It was only when Mick went above id to Bethesda zenimax did they actually start to formulate a soundtrack release contract. While I agree the entirety of id is not to blame, shifting to Bethesda is just as disingenuous, it almost entirely is because Marty didn't want his ego bruised and that dumbass reddit open letter he crafted.
So fragpunk is basically higher budget Friends vs Friends, could be interesting, I probably won't play it but friends vs friends was really fun and so more of it isn't necessarily a bad thing

All I needed was Perfect Dark and Fable, I'm happy to see these IPs back
Same tbh. And Perfect Dark just came back to the Virtual Console, so I'll have to check that out first before the reboot
ngl Perfect Dark being an immersive sim made me stop my Deus Ex remaster replaythrough for now so i dont spoil myself in the genre w/ fatigue
Perfect Dark is definitely on my hype list. Fable, though, not so much. The game looks pretty meh overall, and the visuals (mainly the aesthetics) don't look that great.
I'll keep an open-mind nonetheless.
@lordmolag45000 would prefer if they made brand new ips than remake old ones but that's just me.
Idk maybe if mods can fix it somehow.. the same goes for Dragon Age.
I how Gears is able to back a comeback, Its been too long
*hope lol
It's not gears, it's Gears OF WAR.
@@davidjacobs7465 Gears of yo momma
@@davidjacobs7465 Bro, we've been calling it gears for a long ass time. Stop being cringe.
@@mrjtfang2Yep and that's why gears sucks compared to gears of war 1,2, and 3 🥱
3:38 that’s exactly what I thought of when you saw that 😂 good touch, appreciate the reference.
At 5:36, you sound akin to the South Park narrator that goes "Rob Schneider is... KENNY!"
Being entirely honest, i stopped caring after gears 3, because like... we'd won the fight, it was over.sure another game could be done, showing them cleaning up any remnants and maybe have a system yo repair. But instead they time jumped so far ahead that it became almost alien and bringinf the locusts back (and having humans fighting each other again... after everything that fucking happened, felt like nothing was learned during the war) so much negative witht hat one that i stopped, but eday? A return to form is what it needs, now they just need to stick the landing on execution.
It makes sense. Humans fighting humans after a major war makes sense. Wars didnt end after ww2
Do you think people just stop fighting after a large conflict? We didn’t learn shit from WW2 and got into conflict real fast 😂😂
@Gandalfthegoldenbird While yeah that's true, I just think it feels narratively weak. Like all that fighting was for nothing. Not even a decade or two of peace and prosperity?
@@coggear1135 while yes, HUMANITY WAS LITERALLY NEARLY WIPED OUT, you would think. Given anyone who survived saw the inital outbreak. Yes, the fighting would cease for a bit. Feels like the entire fight with marcus was for literally nothing.
@@BossMr51 yeah and directly after ww2 the cold war started and that lasted like 30 or 40 years the wars wont ever really stop so it makes sense
I think the gears trailer was also a call back to the famous "duet" from gears 2
I’d workout with The Act Man
"The Indiana Jones trilogy is one of the greatest trilogies of all time!!" I see what you did there, Act Man, and I agree.
I can't wait to see your thoughts on all the Black Ops 6 news and such
17:03 Love how he doesn’t mention Kingdom of the Crystal Skull or Dial of Destiny 😂
I'll be real, I liked Dial of Destiny. I'm just also 1of like 5 people that saw it instead of Barbie or Oppenheimer, lol.
I thought when I seen the notification it was a That's good sports winners and Losers but pleasantly surprised to see The act man doing his own winners and losers lol
Troy baker is the voice actor for Indiana jones
Troy baker can voice act as every single person I know in my life and I wouldn't be able to tell 🤣.
@@Pastill- 100% true, he’s everywhere
@@sambrero3 Not as much as Steve Blum.
But yeah, VA unions make sure you see the same credits everywhere and nobody else. Because who needs new talent when you can have favoritism?
of course. because god forbid they should get anyone else. >_>
@@ZackExplorer28 Any game that has union talent is typically forbidden from hiring non-union VA staff, which is most amateurs because the VA union only accepts you if you have some famous role to point at. That's why the best opportunities for new VAs have been Japanese studios that can't be bothered to deal with the American VA union's restrictions (Capcom, Namco, and Squenix among others).
I'm not opposed to unions in general, but the VA union is basically self-serving cronyism rather than something to actually help everyone in the industry get fair treatment. You have to freelance to get a "Big break" and join the union, but you can't work on anything high-profile because you're not in a union. So you're just punished for existing.
The Homestar Runner reference was delish, and it made, quite a dish.
I had to say "ouch" when Phil Spencer quite verbally omitted 343 from his first speech at the showcase.
At least E3 didn’t completely die
E3 dying was a long time coming. It made sense back in the pre-internet era, but Nintendo demonstrated how much of an unnecessary cost it was in the early 2010s. Not to mention you're dividing the attention of consumers and press so much when you announce everything at once instead of doling it out over the year.
The pandemic was just the nail in the coffin.
TGS is still a thing though, if you're really married to the "fun" of industry showcases.
It was a digital direct showcase, no idea how that resembles E3.
Also I don't get the ppl who say Nintendo killed E3 somehow, they stayed on and Sony was the first to leave in 2019
@@Ioganstone Because way before that Nintendo stopped having any physical presence at E3?
They released Directs to coincide with E3, but they also had directs throughout the year and spent 0 money or time exclusively on E3.
@@warbossgegguz679 Ah, I just read the presenters, not this part.
Starting in 2013, some of the major video game companies, particularly Nintendo and Electronic Arts, have opted not to showcase at E3. In Nintendo's case, they have foregone a large keynote presentation and instead have used pre-recorded Nintendo Direct
While I'm sure this had an impact, for me E3 was really taking off around Fallout 4, I thought Nintendo was a kids game company that didn't have much to say, and always held back by a language barrier and travel. So when Sony stopped doing the event it felt like the first assault on the event itself. In my mind, maybe Nintendo could have had an in-person event back home once they grew into a more edgy company. But yes I didn't read that, but rather than pick, I would just expand the killer of E3 to be a group made up of EA, Nintendo and Sony.
I really thought the intro was turning into a Ratatouille movie spoof LOL
We need Act Man to be the CEO of Xbox
Not until right now I’ve wanted a TikTok actman, just the highlights this video. Good bad good good bad goodnight 🤙🏼
I take it back, I saw the title and had a thought, then I watched the video and remember act man is an amazing content creator and 30 seconds just ain’t enough 🙏
One thing I liked about Gears 4 was your squad naming all of the Swarm enemies you found. It made me think "huh, so THAT'S how all of the Locust got their names".
Really looking forward to that same "discovery" part of E-Day.
The voice actor for Indy is Troy Baker. I think i could pick him out by voice better than my own family members. He's in everything hahah
Hey Act man, I've been watching your videos for a long time, and this is my first time commenting. Your meme reactions in your videos are just perfect! I agree with a lot of what you said. I can't wait to see you play some Metal Gear. I really enjoyed them, and I'd love to see your reaction to how the games have changed over time.
Act man as young Marcus phoenix killed me 😂😭
You not being able to keep a straight face at 19:44 was funny.
This type of videos allows to focus on details missed during the initial reaction which I like.
Hopefully we get a winners and losers of Nintendo Direct
This really gets me thinking about the future of Xbox. Hopefully it’s positive 😊
I think if anything changes, the current trajectory is to just move away from hardware focus and focus on games.
When windows already has a monopoly and PC gaming has grown so significantly in the past decade and a half, there's really no reason to keep sinking money into the console market. Especially when you basically can't compete with ninty without making a portable/hybrid console.
I’d love to get into the Xbox community but I’m not going anywhere near them if they’re going completely digital.
It’s sad really there’s a lot of games I’d love to try
New and old
Like sunset overdrive
Fable got my attention even though I haven’t seen any gameplay of it.
Xbox has a good line up though ngl. bar some certain games its a pretty good games just with Doom, Gears of War and Expedition 33 its already a big W.
That troll with the skull face in the Dragon Age Veilguard trailer looks more like an enemy from Orcs Must Die 3.
another actman w. loving the content
I was just rewatching ur videos.
As much as I love the showcase, I’m disappointed that we won’t get Hi-Fi Rush 2 and The Evil Within 3 in the future.
We need a why is Lies of P a masterpiece?! Video.
I just realized the voice actor for indiana jones is troy baker
Lmfao I love ActMan's determination to refer to Indiana Jones as a trilogy 😂 respect
Seeing Dragon Age turn into quirky avengers breaks my heart. Forgive me, Duncan. We failed to stop the Blight 😭
Cant wait to read the comments on the next upload he does ngl.
Act man the triangle is called a delta
10:15 I felt the most visceral feeling of violence upon hearing those words. I know it's bait, but damn
Looking forward to the same games ! Great Video Actman looking forward to watch all recent videos.
Waiting for the DLC…… 3 hours left 😔
Don't rush it, probably the only dlc we'll ever get for it😕gotta savor that shit
@@Itachi_UchihaL337I think they confirmed it as the only dlc
@@Leo-wp3rj good, I want armoured core dlc 😅hopefully
Fallout 76 is legit pretty good though.
acting man will never fall
Yo, act man. about halo, remember halo Infinite is a 10 year game. We misread that, it wasn't because of ten years of content, it's because it's the only game we're likely to get for ten years. 2031 looking real good for halo, guys.😂
Ok, so Actman gaming Saturday with MGS3.
Remember that it was Bethesda that fucked over Mick, not id Software. An important distinction
Where did you get this info? It was Marty Stratton, Exec for id who spearheaded the whole situation. It was only when Mick went above id to Bethesda zenimax did they actually start to formulate a soundtrack release contract. While I agree the entirety of id is not to blame, shifting to Bethesda is just as disingenuous, it almost entirely is because Marty didn't want his ego bruised and that dumbass reddit open letter he crafted.
Bethesda bad id good
I just started watching actman videos but defense of a predator. I think I'm done. Peace
I miss the aura of Dragon Age Origins. That game was great. Truly felt like a dark fantasy. Inquisition was good too, but the original is unbeatable.
So fragpunk is basically higher budget Friends vs Friends, could be interesting, I probably won't play it but friends vs friends was really fun and so more of it isn't necessarily a bad thing
They really thought "What if Dragon Age, but Fortnite?"
My heart
