    The whole gaming industry is milking our shit. Damn near all the big games announced at E3 were sequels.

      I'm finally getting around to watching this. Huge shocker they open up with MW3.

      Do they show any exclusives during this show? LOL. So far I've seen MW3, Tomb Raider (which looks awesome) and ME3.

            What's the point of the voice recognition for the dialogue in ME3? The tactical options make sense and seem to work but the dialogue stuff is just redundant and pointless. You say it and then Shepard just basically repeats it?

            Oh wow, another multiplatform game, Ghost Recon. The voice recognition for the gunsmith weapon stuff was cool though. The firing range stuff? Not so much. Beyond dumb. Opening your hand to shoot? smh

            So this is the NEW New Xbox Experience? LOL at new apps like YouTube and Bing. Just get a fucking browser already. But oh yeah, I forgot, then MS couldn't control every aspect of what you do that way.

            Oh wow! I can watch tv on my TV! Yes! I've been waiting for this for years! And I'm sure they forgot to mention that this stuff will only work with certain ISP's, as is the case with ESPN.

            Ok, so the UFC stuff seems cool. But what are the points all about? Do I win prizes? And why would I want to stream a pay-per-view even through my 360 instead of just ordering it to my tv? If my internet craps out I'm screwed.

            And finally an exclusive, GoW3. But who hasn't seen or read about everything you need to know already? Some new campaign footage I guess...and Ice-T?

            I guess I'll get to part 3 later.

                I'm obviously not the only one that has these opinions. There's a reason why MS has been consistently getting the worst show grades for this E3. Are you honeslty saying it was a good showing?

                Unless by some miracle they blow me away in part 3 their show was awful. But I'm guessing part 3 will just be all the stupid kiddie Kinect shit I've been hearing about so it's only going to get 100x worse.

                    Well, I want to be able to say I saw everything from all three of the major conferences.

                    Plus I can't wait to rail on all the stupid Kinect shit.

                      No I thought it was a shit show because I hate kinect but some of the points you made were so utterly retarded I really couldn't even comment. I'll go multi quote and just point some things out.

                        - MS will probably never put a browser on the xbox. I'm not 100% of the legality issue but MS is going to have a hard time for years to put IE into any of their software thanks to the anti trust lawsuit they lost a couple years ago. Installs of Windows 7 over in some parts of Europe and asia already come without IE installed and give you the option of going with other popular types (chrome, firefox ect) when you go through the install. Add onto it putting a browser on a console still seems silly to me.

                        - The whole watching tv on tv was really where I You obviously have missed the last couple years of people straight up giving up their cable tv or sat dishes and sticking with online streaming services only. It's pretty much the way of the future at this point and MS jumping into it and getting everyone they can on board is a really good idea from a business perspective. If I didn't have room mates there would be no cable tv in my house and I'd just be streaming everything from the internet.

                        - The gears stuff was basically the kick off to everything gears. You guys going nuts over Uncharted is the same thing. My buddy a huge gears player was loving it. I don't care for the game but I understand how much people love it.

                        The kinect can still die in a fire as I find it useless as all hell. Some of the stuff they showed with it was cool but when I game I'm not standing up and doing all that bs.

                              I'm out of the videogame loop, is Microsoft still trying to push the Kinect stuff down our throats? I really hope the future of gaming is not me standing up and waving a controller around like an idiot.

                                That is EXACTLY what they are doing. Their entire conference was about the Kinect. Even their biggest games were about Kinect. With ME3 instead of just showing us some footage they had to insist on showing voice control. Every single game had Kinect attached to it.
