Nintendo 2008 is the worst of them. I like when they're demoing the wii.

Last year's Microsoft was pretty bad. The Halo 4 trailer and Xbla stuff was the only redeeming factor. Not sure what's microsoft's obsession with dangerously excited kids are.

My favorite one was 2010 when nintendo went hard.

The worst? Either '08 or '06. The best would have to be 2010. It was too funny and epic all at the same time. (Nintendo!)

Also, shingi's picture is da bomb.

E3 2011 was terrible for everyone. The only exciting thing was the Wii U trailer and announcement.

Yeah, seeing those kids play Kinect was cringe worthy. The Kinect presentations at E3 2010 and last year were low points for Microsoft. It's like they weren't even trying to be impressive.

Wii U was awful too. Not the console but the way they introduced it. Nothing from 2011 was enjoyable.

it didn't end there.

The sad part us this section of the keynote was done very well showing why non gamers should get a 360 until the sesame street stuff.. Even the sesame street stuff is great in concept but the actors ham it up taking the focus on this great entertainment innovation and instead the cringe worthy acting.

WAT!

That and the Vita and Skyrim and Tomb Raider and and and and.

It was actually pretty good.

Tomb Raider hasn't been popular since the PS1 days.
I'm not into RPG's.
Microsoft's press conference was absolutely terrible, the only thing that saved it was the Halo 4 announcement, because no one expected it.

One of those things is a fact.

That Wii U trailer got me interested in the console. I liked some of the concepts that were shown.

The Sony video is pathetic.

OH LOOK IF YOU TAKE STUFF OUT OF CONTEXT THE PEOPLE SOUND STUPID!

Then again, with your quoting style I'm not surprised you got a kick out of it.

Tomb Raider hasn't been popular since the PS1 days.

Here's a fact: whether you "liked" an E3 or not is entirely subjective. Your statement "E3 2011 sucks" is no more "factual" than my statement that "hey, it was actually pretty good."

And then in that quote you managed to do your usual thing of make a ridiculous statement and somehow keep a straight face. Tomb Raider is immensely freaking popular.

I liked E3 2011.

That's the point? Duh. It's called humor and ridicule. E3 2006 was terrible for Sony. All those clips in the video show why.

"Genji 2 is based on real life Japanese battles... and here's this giant enemy crab."
"Flip it over, and attack it's weak point... for massive damage."
"It's Ridge Racer! RRRRIIIIIIIDGE RAAAAACER!!!"
"$599 US dollars."

Those quotes are infamous all over the 'net, because people love how terrible that presentation was. And Microsoft's 2010 presentation was just as bad, if not worse.

The whole thing was poorly rehearsed, with the presenters' bland speeches and shoddy demonstrations.

And I can't believe you are getting riled up over a video that was clearly meant to be parody. Wow.

None of which is actually funny.

""Genji 2 is based on real life Japanese battles... and here's this giant enemy crab.""

Yes, that's why he used the word 'based,' rather than 'recreate.'

""Flip it over, and attack it's weak point... for massive damage.""

I'm pretty sure he didn't say it gramatically incorrectly (you have once again misused "it's"), and that phrase is pretty common gamer-nerd speak. Big deal. I see more embarrasing things written on this forum on a daily basis.

""It's Ridge Racer! RRRRIIIIIIIDGE RAAAAACER!!!""

Yeah the guy isn't Steve Jobs and got the tone wrong when presenting a really exciting game. Clearly the worst presentation ever. /sarcasm

""$5.99 US dollars.""

And?

I somehow always manage to underestimate gamers. They really are capable of being the most petty little hyenas when they want to be. Laughing over stuff that halfway intelligent people are able to ignore or put into context.

Yeah see, that stuff is funny.
