Fuck Bethesda for both having an amazing product, and locking it to the smallest mobile market.
I could understand if it was a paid app, but its free. Ha, wtf.
Feels like a kick in the pipboy

Didn't sound like Troy imo. Was a really familiar voice from some game though.
It's true.
I'm talking about the contents presented in the conference, not what game they'll have.
Sony and MS tends to front load theirs with the boring tv services and sales talk.

What a great way to kick off E3. As somebody rightly observed, the other publishers should step up their game. Have you seen that Doom footage? God, I felt like a teenager again, slashing through hords of demons and shooting every hellish creature on sight...FUCK YEAH!

They had surprise megatons, but they came in the form of game features.

Fallout was brilliant and, barring any major surprises, likely to be my game of show.
Didn't really care about anything else.
Still, as a show, I'd say this was a good start. Minimum PR business-centric annoyances, and Todd Howard felt very down-to-earth.
Nintendo's stuff today was really good as well, so a good start to E3 all around. I'm not expecting most other conferences to impress me as much as this first day has, but I'm interested to see.

Yeah while the rest of the game looked fantastic, this is probably the one complaint I do have for it. Hopefully the demo only focused on some basic dialogue choices.

Todd specifically mentioned how it was built to fit the player's phone and that the app created for it to replicate the in-game pipboy was for iPhone and Android.
He never specifically stated Shelter was coming for Android (and people think it's exclusive based on how Todd said they worked with Apple), but the pipboy and its app are definitely coming to Android. I assume it'll use some sort of sliding bracket to grab any phone below a certain size.

Three for me, so even better!
Is the Fallout Shelter game coming to Android? I want some time to kill so I can get tired, fall asleep and wake up to more E3 goodness.
Sweet!!
Okay GAF. I missed this completely. Someone tell me what they announced plz

The show fell flat if you ask me for a first time. I guess there wasn't anything overly bad for a first time but it was just rather unimpressive. They really didn't have enough announcements to really seem a shoe necessary.
Because free things?
I think the characters will be as unremarkable and poorly animated as usual, but I think the combat will be reasonably good if not great. It was fun in Fallout 3, and an improved vats system combined with a larger pool of toys (JETPACKS) will keep it entertaining to play throughout, even if you don't delve into the customization options.
I'm stupid excited about it though because of the systems they've integrated this time. I think these kinds of tweaking options and world malleability are a necessary addition to open world games, and even though they'll be dumbed down they add so much replayability to the game.
November can't come soon enough for me.
Good show, despite not being interested in Doom, Elder Scrolls, battlecry.
It did help Fallout 4 look like a better game to me, but still may not get it, maybe if I don't have any other games to play I'll try it out. But this game does belong to the genre of games that can completely sway my opinion with certain features.
Dishonored 2 looks interesting.
So even though I pretty much was not interested in nearly all the games they showcased, I still wasn't bored. Well done. They were solid games, just not my thing.

I know, that's why I said '...considering the app is on Android.' Hopefully it works with Android devices as well since they have to take different sized iPhones into consideration.

E3 is off to a Fantastic start.
Also, Beth knows how to do a conference, even though it's their first.
When the lowest point, IMO, is "We're making a launcher", The other publishers are gonna have some trouble with the old E3 Conference Brinkmanship

Windows Phone? Blackberry?
Overall it was a great conference. Battlecry and was the only hiccup really but mainly because the game looks terrible, derivative, and genuinely boring. Heartstone rip off was funny but some people like that sort of stuff so I'm sure it had its audience. Honestly everything else was great. Fallout Shelter was a cool little surprise and one I am terrified will bleed my wallet dry. Of course, Fallout 4 this year was an unexpected and most pleasant surprise to close out on. Lastly the figures for everyone in the audience was a cool gesture. Really solid conference. Well done Bethesda I dont think anyone could walk away from that feeling remotely disappointing.
Its not that big of a deal. Aren't journalists not supposed to take these free things, for conflict reasons?

Free. And I guess it would be really cool to have a figurine like that on the bookshelf years later remembering the whole event.

Apparently the Giant Bomb livecast was pretty funny.
Gonna watch it later.

That doesn't really apply to games journalism if history has taught us anything.

I agree, but if I've learned anything in my time on this Earth, it's that people like free shit. Even if it's free shit that they don't actually want.

I'm sure we will, but that's also one of the things that help with setting the mood and get lost doing stuff in game. Like even on a ridiculous loop, it never even got stale. The list right now is icing on the yellow cake.

So where does this rank in the list of great E3 Conferences? Does it overtake Konami E3 2010
