Microsoft E3 2012 Discussion Thread (Press - 6/4)

Me when Usher came on:


I don't know where the marketing people at Microsoft got their degrees, but I feel like throwing a music artist that appeals to teens and young adults on a stage in front of 40-50 year old gaming nerds was not the smartest decision they've ever made.

The only thing that remotely interested me was Tomb Raider, Splinter Cell, and South Park. The CoD demo looked fun, but as someone else said, I feel that it's just gonna be a one or two day rental from Red Box for me.

Just came to that part. I'm losing it right now haha.

I was watching via the livestream they had on the dashboard, and missed half of Trey and Matt because it just stopped working. Got to see the joke, though. Goes down in e3 history, for sure. We all laughed, then wept, because it's bad, and yet here we are every year.

Nothing too exciting announced(actually, was anything announced). Pretty boring shit. Glad it wasn't as Kinect heavy as the past few years, though.

It's like a train wreck. You simply can't turn away.

As the amount of threads posted here on new games over the weekend can attest to, all of the stuff is leaked before the event so the actual event means less and less every year.

One of my friends is flipping shit about the ESPN deal calling it revolutionary and by far the biggest announcement at E3. I know I can't be the only one who fails to see why this is so special.

The XBOX Glass was cool.

The rest made me lose interest. Considering Halo and GOW are my favorite franchises it makes me sad.

I will still eat up anything Gears but I am not excited about Halo anymore. I still haven't finished the Reach campaign and I think I played it online for maybe five hours? I'm sure I will get Halo 4 at some point, no question, but definitely not day one.

I just really don't like Baird. Cole though, is so over the top and great, I'm willing to put up with Baird.

Hey look I can get NHL Gamecenter on my xbox now too. How exciting even though my Smart TV, PS3, WD TV Tuner ect ect could all do this years before lulz.

I get they are trying to market this thing as some huge entertainment system but they have up to this point shown maybe 10mins of gaming and spent the rest of the time marketing their entertainment features.

Not to mention the fact that many people are restricted by bandwidth caps. It's not a true entertainment centre until you don't have to worry about bandwidth caps.
