Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
[E3 2009 MEGATHREAD] E3 OVER - GO HOME

I think you're not really looking hard enough in the current library, if there is nothing in all the great games available for the next gen consoles that you like then you're basically impossible to please and perhaps nostalgia is warping your standards.
Heh, I had the same feeling about PAX after 08. They need an actual expo company to run that. PAX08 was horrible.
I didn't feel '08 was too bad, but it was my fourth PAX in a row, and was getting very same-y by that point, so I'm taking this year off.
Next year, I'm thinking about just skipping the panels and discussions altogether, and just spending three days scouring every inch of the expo hall.
And you can go capture more of them then throw them into pit fights to see which one emerges victorious?
Oh god no........
no i don't use the word "uber" in real life, no i don't care about the fact that you are too lazy to get up at 6 for nintendos press conference, no i don't care about pokemen, no i don't care about how much money nintendo makes, no i dont like downloadable content, no i dont care about mmorpgs especially a final fantasy one. rage rage rage
argh nevermind
Just watched Invisible Walls too eh?
I couldn't agree more with you.
yup, and may i never watch that sort of tripe again
especially the nintendo early in the morning issue, i hope whoever employs them listens to that
Watched what now?
EDIT: gametrailers. nm
EDIT2: Were they watching a different Sony conference than everyone else saw? Why are these guys jizzing all over it?
It's not the only factor but it's an important one. More accurately, I like Zelda based on mood, using my first and favorite Zelda, Link to the Past, as the yardstick. And unfortunately, a grown-up protagonist and realistic art style are generally accompanied by a certain mood that flies in the face of what I've come to associate with - and love about - the Zelda series.
In my Wii: Endless Ocean 2
In my 3DS: AC New Leaf, Fire Emblem, Luigi's Mansion 2, DKCR3D
Last game completed: Virtue's Last Reward (Clover ending)
Because Uncharted 2, God of War 3, MAG, MGS: Peace Walker...
Sony did not have a bad showing.
I'm still jizzing over that.

Thank God you put a smiley after that.
That game is going to make me buy a DS. I pray they do it on PC.
Got a fetish for chicken dogs, eh?

I wonder what shows up ion Scribblenauts if you write 'Incompetent Journalist'
Casamassina?

That Ryan guy from Gamespot who hosted their stage demos and didn't know shit about anything.
Seriously, if you even half care about gaming at all you would be better.
I didn't mean they had a bad showing. They just certainly didn't have the orgasmic showing that video would imply. For the most part they showed the same stuff that had been "leaked" weeks, or more, in advance of the show.
None of the big 3 really impressed me terribly much, though I would put MS over Sony but I'll readily admit that it is because I have a 360 and not a PS3. Each had their shining moments, but none were "awesome" or however ridiculously over exaggerated the duders in that gametrailers video described it.
Oh God, yes. I remember at last year's e3 he constantly asked
"So, will this game have plenty of ACTION?"
I avoided Gamespot this year.
i have to say i am very very disappointed in the lack of showing of some games that were either just not there or playable or maybe they were not covered at all for some odd reason even though they were there:
diablo 3
i am alive
project offset
beyond good and evil 2
half life 3 ep 3
splatterhouse (personally know its canceled)
etc etc etc
but granted, i probably missed a lot because this was hard to follow with all the hype over the big companies random stuff. did anything show up on these games at e3?
Not sure about the others, but in the case of Diablo it's because Blizz has generally quit E3 in favor of Blizzcon.
At pretty much all of those are no where near being ready for release. The point of e3 nowadays is to show games which are coming within the next year or so, not ones that are scheduled for 2+ years away
