Fucking LOL. 

 

 

 

Wow, they actually think that they should be the focus of the stream and not the games. That's some collective ego. Giantbomb are 6 tiny boxes at the bottom of the screen.

[Harsin]

Even an ultra scripted play through doesn’t make this seem particularly exciting to play. Looks nice enough though at guess.

[df0]

Exposition the video game.

[Mr Do 71]

Don't think Bungie will be particularly worried.

[JoeK]

I'm hoping the voice actor they have is a stand-in, because he's so out of place it hurts.

 

Reminds me of that annoying twat in Westworld! 

[Benny]

Just looks like 3rd person Destiny 3

 

Also, every time that presenter goes "how cool was that?!" I reflexively vomit.

[tnman]

That looked so by the numbers unfortunately. Say what you like about Destiny but Bungie have nailed the feel of their weapons and gunplay from day one.

[Billy Brown]

"Hey, look! If we follow this gunk we should find the source."

 

"Yeah, either that or the big fuck off mission marker."

They need to hire Peter Dinklage.

That's what the community voted for lol. 

[Majora]

Well it was an EA conference which means it was a turgid, soul-crushing pile of shit.

 

Can't say Anthem excited me from that footage either

[tnman]

Not the best was it chaps? See you at Microsoft...

What are you on about, I watch everything in a small window a fraction of the screen size with voiceover dudes as the main focus...

 

[Benny]

Fuck it. Back to Dark Souls.

[bcofn]

Well I for one thought that was excellent and I want to thank EA for setting expectations so low for the rest of E3 that it should be impossible for it to be nothing but up from here.

[Harsin]

I really should have taken that dead body spot I was offered on NCIS instead of this.

[pulsemyne]

Well that was a bit shit. I mean Anthem looked okay but the lack of BFV stuff was annoying (they could have had a multiplayer game running for god sake). Also there was very little content, just the usual shite with the exception of Unravel 2 (which has been sent out to die a death). 

[Mr Do 71]

Best bit was the Autobahn t-shirt.

[Kayin Amoh]

'Keep your streams running for a live tournament of Fif...'

 

(Ends stream)

[Nespresso]

 

[Billy Brown]

No Dead Space. Next you'll be telling me there's no Syphon Filter at the Sony conference.

[Matt Defis]

Jesus that was terrible, I was so looking forward to Anthem but that just really put me off.

[Azrael]

It's no coincidence that the word Anthem contains the word Meh. What is odd is the remaining letters are TNA and this is neither total non-stop action nor as interesting as tits n ass.

Funnily enough the Twitch channel that was broadcasting the conference ended immediately as the presenter of that next bit opened his mouth and breathed in.

The biggest reaction you'd get out of Giant Bomb is Brad yawning when he wakes up. Nobody wants to see that. 

 

I thought they'd go hard on Anthem considering the Feb release date, really surprised. Showing "early concept art" for a game out in 8 months? What?

[Harsin]

Easy Allies are basically RLM's Nerd Crew but not a as a joke.

[mogawoods]

Said it last year and I'll say it again. Best way to experience E3 nowadays is to ignore the conference streams completely and read the rllmuk/Resetera threads live. Unlike the conference, the thread was genuinely entertaining.

If you’re going to watch an E3 conference it should be full screen. When I go back to see how EZA reacted to it I mainly want to see them.
