Mostly siege gameplay. Looks like it won't change much in its core (aside from siege equipment and technical aspects of course). Which is completely okay for me :) I can gladly spend hundreds of hours in a more updated Mount and Blade game. And with the economy, politics and crafting changes, it's going to be epic.
 
I wonder how many of us have already signed up...

Instantly. I allways liked the idea in TW3 but I never really played that much ingame. But as a seperate game, I am all for it.

This year's E3 a bit of disappointment to me. No actual ME Andromeda details, or gameplay demo. In my eyes just the Vampyr, and maybe Maffia 3 worth to wait, and the new Deus Ex of course. The new Ghost Recon looks intresting, and a bit childish if you ask me. Same with watch dogs 2. To be honest I struggling to find something which is worth my interest. I almost forgot the Telltale games Batman game, that is going to be good I think.
 
Yeah... calling it now. The new Zelda is either a sequel or prequel to Windwaker. Before or after the Great Sea filled/drained.

I have quite the contrary feelings on Gwent - loved it in games as a casual game that was played by everybody, it wasn't balanced at all, it was just fun - a bit like it's canon version in the books. It had it's unique feel to it.

I am very hyped for the new Gwent, especially single player campaign, but I feel with all these added mechanics (a bit Hearthston'y) it might lose some of that funky villag'y theme. That's just a feeling, probably totally wrong.



As for E3, didn't have much time to follow it but - for me the biggest disappointment was Dawn of War 3.
I waited for this game a long time, I am a massive WH40K fan and I loved both previous titles. Both had advantages and disadvantages. DoW3 had an amazing trailer and the gameplay just killed the hype.

No cover system, 3 races only, terrible artstyle and not great graphic fidelity, weird MOBA style heroes and abilities, not much variety in units (for now). And ofc their - "make it more accesible, make it fun - easy to play, fun to master is just a sign they want to do an easy version of Starcraft. And it was Starcraft that was supposed to be Warhammer.


However - Mafia 3 still looks like it could be very good, Deus Ex MD too - despite it's weird graphic downgrades.
Andromeda had a nice trailer, but it's Bioware.

Didn't see much more than this. oh, God of War looked like Nordic The Order 1866, which doesn't look well.

@schinderhannes.999: Linux version is coming. I hope they'll release it on GOG too.

@Phinnway: Funny, I'm not looking forward to any of that. Sounds like E3 is too boring these days :)

I hoped for Torment: Tides of Numenera, but it looks like it's pushed off again. What I'm looking forward to in 2016 is Shadow Warrior 2.

Agreed on the DoW3 part of your parts, I feel the same about that game. That is not the "Grimdark" universe which I love, not even close to that.

I decided that I am going to pick up Maffia 3 and later Ghost Recon Wildlands. Both looks pretty good, altough I am not sure how much online teamplay needed with Ghost Recon. I hope that I will be able to solo it. I am not fan of the "spec ops operator in jeans" thing, but I can live with it, otherwise the gameplay looks pretty good.
