Topic: E3 2012 |OT| Wii U scores, Kinect snores, and lol move

Well, Microsoft's conference was better than the past 2 years... It's not saying much, but at least it wasn't total crap.
I did love seeing footage of Halo 4 and South Park. Splinter Cell looks pretty sweet, too. And I like Forza... And knowing more Gears of War is on the way is nice.
That's five games. Yeah, some were announcements, but it's better than seeing Sesame Street on stage. Also, though I don't care for it, I'm sure people loved seeing Call of Duty.

So it failed because you didn't like it that seems objectiveq
. I mean the only reason I had cable was for Deon. And qih that on xbox live I just dropped a $200 a month expense. Same thing with xbox music as it seems the unlimited service is tied to your gold account so I can stop paying for spotofy.

But different strokes for different folks.

Did like halo prime though.

Microsoft had nothing that would interest me but I don't think it was any kind of fail, this time I even watched the whole show. Last year I quit watching after about 45 minutes and therefore missed all the really bad Kinect stuff. Going to skip all the others now as I'm going to sleep soon and watch Nintendo conference tomorrow.

Any conference that has any Usher concert in the middle of it can't be anything but fail. Yeah Halo 4 and Black Ops 2 whatevaz.

They made Usher sing. That alone warrents a failure in my book. At least they don't fail at embarassing themselves every year. (Though They did make up for it slightly be not announcing a new console)

I'm not a big fan of Usher but it couldn't have been that bad.

Watch it for yourself.

It was bad but not bad enough as people are making. E3 stands for electronic Entertainment EXpo and they showed different kinds of electronic entertainment. They covered all there bases by having stuff for the core gamer as well as acasuel and non gamers.

It might be good to gamers but stuff like Nike fitness will bring people to the system and be demoted on morning shows in the holiday seasons.

Why is bad to want to do something other than games . I mean Microsoft is building an ecosystem.

To me, it just seems like a waste of all the extra funds they're getting from $60 Gold accounts. Instead of investing in more gimmicks, how's about they focus on better games so I'll actually have something I'll want to play online?

Tomb Raider and Resident Evil 6 made the show for me. Especially Tomb Raider. My god that looks amazing.

Microsoft's E3 conference was god but not breath taking. They showed a lot of good stuff so I can see the 360 crowd will continue to support them. Tomorrow is Nintendo's turn and they need to come out with guns blazing!

Yeah I agree. It could turn out into an excellent title for the series.

But data has shown that more people are using entertainment apps than playing games. And this was always the future.

Look at the new apple TV or Google TV interfaces, but Microsoft is winning as they used gaming as a Trojan horse to get into the living room.

And. Xbla has a ton of games.

Hope EA shows Dragon Age and Mass effect dlc

And that is very, very sad. That just proves how worthless their line-up is, if people would rather use other forms of entertainment on their gaming machine rather than actually playing the games that are out for it.

I didn't watch the video, but I was reading Joystiq's live feed from MS's conference. They didn't seem that impressed.

While I can understand Microsoft wanting to push their console as a comprehensive entertainment unit, that didn't really seem like the best way to do it.

Oh, and what's with Tomb Raider? It just seemed like a 10 minute movie with a couple of bits where you actually had any input. Is that what games these days are coming to? (I haven't really played either of the 360 or PS3, and have fallen behind with PC games in the last couple of years).

You obviously didn't watch the video.

But how does that reflect on the lineip when the bulk pf games are third party.

I mean Sony released a lot of first party software and all of them either bombed or hand disspointing sales with the expectoon of uncharted 3.

And Fagin there are a ton of xbox only games on xbla. Why don't those count those are published or promoted hard by Microsoft.

Still this will probably be the weakest of the big three.

In your opinion. Last I checked, most of Sony's line up from 2011's E3 sold very well. Even Twisted Metal.

I'm pretty sure I'm capable of telling what I did and didn't do. Going by that, I watched the video. I wasn't impressed.

If you watched that video you would know that the player was always controlling Lara.
