Summer Game Fest 2021 happened yesterday and there were some major announcements including Elden Ring, the long-awaited entry coming to all platforms by From Software and George R.R. Martin. E3 Summer Game Fest was the kick-off for E3 2021 so I thought I’d take a look back at the biggest reveals and talk about my reactions. Summer Games Fest will go all E3 2021 as will several other conferences so stay tuned for a lot of cool games over the next coming days as E3, Ubisoft, Nintendo, Microsoft, Bethesda, and of course the Summer Game Fest Schedule continues to unfold.
I know we normally talk games here, but I wanted to try to do some good this month. So all June I’m raising money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. St. Jude is a leader in conducting research to end cancer and other rare diseases for children and has several rewards as a charity for their positive impact on people’s life.

There’s so much corruption in charities I trust none them
I think Elden Ring looks amazing. I just can’t get into these Souls type games. I’ll still give it a try though.
Elden Ring reveal was a disappointment. Looks like Dark Souls 3 with horses.
I think Hideo Kojima should make a movie because that seems to be what he wants to do. He certainly hasn't made a good video game in over 10 years.
Ground baking ?
No! Elden Ring just doesnt Catch me at all!
Elden Ring… all the intrigue and hype surrounding it and it turns out to be dark souls in all but the name. Couldn’t be less hyped ?
Nothing excited me from Summer Game Fest. I haven't liked From Software games since 2006 so Elden Ring finally being shown did nothing for me but good for those who enjoy and tolerate those games. Once they started making Souls games I stopped. No maps and constant death only anger me and if I feel like breaking something while playing a game I stop playing and never go back. 1st day of E3 was meh for me as well and really hoping day 2 has some big announcements.
Who told you Death Stranding was bad? it's an 82 on Metacritic, and maybe even higher on the PC version. It's amazing. The IGN reviewer from IGN Australia gave it a 6.5, but that was a lower end score. Check with some of your other IGN people like Sam from Gamescoop and Mark Medina, they both love it. It's an amazing game, my 2019 GOTY. There is nothing else like it. Depending on the release date, you now might want to wait for the Director's cut, though none of us at this moment knows what that entails. And yes, during the opening area, which is the tutorial, the game throws a lot of systems at you, so you know how to build structures, do deliveries, and navigate the environment. But those are things you'll need to know to get through the rest of the game. But that's just my opinion. Definitely try it.
Honestly Destin you should consider live streaming your reaction to the Microsoft show tomorrow. You should save the vod and upload it somewhere I would definitely go and watch after the show, I'd be curious about your genuine reactions to reveals. I can't watch reaction streams live cause I like to see it for myself so if you do stream you should consider uploading a vod for a week and then take it down if you don't think it fits with the rest of your channel structure. Anyways it's just a fun idea and I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd be curious about your first impressions at big reveals
I dont think the elder ring story will be much different to other from soft games, J.J. Martin is just making lore, not story or dialogue.
Elden ring call me pessimistic but cyberpunk,fallout 76 don't get excited yet.
How dare you call Tiny Tina's game not a heavy hitter! Lol
Destin, you actually did a better job selling me on Lost Ark then the trailer did. It was all over the place and didn't explain what the game was. But now, I think I'll check it out. Thanks Destin!
@Destin I'm not worry Elden Ring is also on last gen hardware, it means they built the game with last gen in mind. I wish they would have made the game with new gen hardware in mind or rather 10 TFLOPs hardware as a minimum but it will still be a FromSoftware game similar to Dark Souls that would logically plays and looks better than previous Dark Souls games.
Not trying to be disrespectful but imo Kojima games are extremely overrated and over hyped. I can’t think of a single Kohima game that I lost myself in
OMG!! Deviation games?! Sony is killing it! What have they made? I must know the blockbusters. …Nothing? What do you mean? We're all excited, sony is winning because Deviation Games is the best thing sinc-.. Oh, they haven't produced a darn thing but hype. Oh.
reading that whole thing got boring. we can watch the trailer. there are other games besides another soul-like 'OMG so hard!'.
LET'S GOOO DESTINNNN
Diablo is an RPG. Diablo is the original action rpg and where the term action rpg came from.
Does anyone think that they will mention anything about more backwards compatibility on original Xbox games at E3?
Seems unprepared for this video
Damn they're baking the ground?? That's is ??
Here’s something nobody should be shocked about….the E3 app and portal is not working at all…..
I don't remember enjoying any Kojima game ever! But the visual quality of Death Stranding is superb. It's amazing how it runs on the base PS4. What he could do with PS5/Series X if he had a chance is mind-blowing.
I don't understand the hype for Elden Ring. I was more excited and interested in Tiny Tina's Wonderlands.
hahaha xbox going console-less huh? making a stick for TVs now are we? lol. hahahaha. TOWAH OF POWAH?
The people from deviation games did work for treyarch working on black ops.
Metal slug tactics dammit why is no one else excited for this game but me
Death Stranding is amazing ❤️
Where did you start out destin, I’ve seen you for a long time
Summer games fest was trash!
Its funny i aint hear shit about Ratchet and clank that game is freaking amazing and i dnt even play those type of games
Elden Ring looks Amazing!!!
Hum, baked ground… sounds delicious!
Destin is gonna freak out once again like me. Did you see the SkateBIRD trailer? I believe 44 seconds in there is a bird wearing Sam Fisher goggles ???
Oh yeah it totally is… goodness, something to look forward.
Elden ring looks like demon souls… is it the same studio? P.s. sorry to ask, I don’t really keep up with gaming news all that much.
Re Elden ring series x quality, Bandai Namco confirmed there will be a series x smart delivery upgrade for free. So no worries on quality, however if you don’t like from softwares art style then that’s down to you,( whoever you may be) an art style does not designate last gen! for the unintelligent, it is a design choice.
re the msg in death stranding references, allegedly the box( that represents the box snake uses in mgs) he picked up that has oranges in it, the oranges represent death in I believe I saw Japanese culture, and his jump in and out of the box seemingly is to represent the death(oranges) of mgs
ELDEN RING IS REAL OOOOOOOOHMMMMYGOOOOD
I have to get Elden Ring and Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, day 1 those games so interest me.
Though Destin or anyone for that matter I have an issue for my Xbox gamepass ultimate for PC.
When I go to download any game it says 0 percent error and when I go to play installed games I get directed to Microsoft store and there's a button that says install on device.
Which does nothing.
Why can't I downloaded any game like usual?
Why won't it let me just play like usual?
Hope this gets fixed.
Elden Ring ? Lost Ark ?
