No Dark Souls III footage 0/10

Spoiler

First E3 that nearly made my cry 12/10

I need a beer after that.

 

[Data West]

I would love for one journalist to tell me 'No Man's Sky looks amazing' and then tell me WHY it looks amazing.

 

[Hyrule Warrior]

I really wanted to slap Brad there for a second with his dismissive attitude about the Final Fantasy 7 remake, lol. "It's a game you've already played before", oh god.

 

[Twin Tails]

Pretty much agree with everyone.

 

[alr1ght]

Jesus Christ, guys. Everyone turned into Alex.

 

[Alucrid]

giantbomb talk has been incredibly boring

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

Is it just me, or are they pretty much shitting on an amazing conference?

They're annoyed by a lack of first party support in 2015.

 

[Zen_Arcade]

They're not wrong that PS4's 2015 lineup wasn't solved by anything tonight, but that was still one of the best E3 conferences I've ever seen.

 

[kingocfs]

I mean, they're all valid points. They can't even secure Shenmue?

 

[Rhaknar]

Is it just me, or are they pretty much shitting on an amazing conference?

It's amazing for you as a fan, it's not amazing for Sony at all, it just LOOKS amazing

Your big 2 nuts, FF7 and Shenmue 3 aren't exclusive, and one isn't even a game yet it's a kickstarter for a 2017 game

 

[RomanticHeroX]

Snark and negativity is becoming overbearing. I might be out on GB coverage for this E3, which I never thought I'd say.

 

[convo]

GB gone full cynic.

Oh GiantBomb you live your own life and that's fine. Hopefully we'll see Persona 5 this week.

 

[njean777]

I think these guys forget asking people to spend 700-1000$ as apposed to 550$ (psn sub/game) is a big ask. 3rd party is all sony needs tbh, it has worked all gen so far and will continue to work imo.

 

[The_Inquisitor]

They are just being pessimistic which is fine. They want first party stuff.

Yeah but it's getting to the point where Jeff is saying every sucks. And that isn't really fun to listen to over and over.

 

[SlowRevolution]

giantbomb talk has been incredibly boring

way better at Gamespot tbh, it's got Chris Watters but Danny/Lucy/Tamoor are a good combo.

 

[air jordans for dogs]

These dudes that have not finished a single game this year are whining about no games coming out in 2015?

 

[MoosiferX]

They've always been grumpy dude bros, but wow. Taking it to new levels today.

 

[Aselith]

Somehow GB finds a way to put that negative spin on the sony conference. Not at all surprised.

Xbots total herp herp herp

 

[EdibleKnife]

I kind of agree that there really wasn't anything that screamed "GET A PS4 THIS YEAR."

A lot of pie in the sky stuff.

Same. I agree with the GB cast. Glad they sealed the deal on alot of stuff but I'm not picking up a PS4 anytime soon

 

[Rhaknar]

By the way zero mention of Bloodborne dlc :/

 

[wenis]

they're making a lot of great points.

I'm excited about a lot of stuff, but they are fucking right. this year is dry.

 

[Kandrick]

It's amazing for you as a fan, it's not amazing for Sony at all, it just LOOKS amazing

Your big 2 nuts, FF7 and Shenmue 3 aren't exclusive, and one isn't even a game yet it's a kickstarter for a 2017 game

Yeah, alot of the big stuff shown there is also on PC. And as for first party games, they aren't coming this year.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

I think they are half right about Sony first party but I'm not actually sure how much it matters.

They were extremely smart to attach themselves to FF7 remake and Shenmue 3.

 

[TharpDaddy]

Sony throwing down the gauntlet. How long before this year's conference is topped? Out of control.

I dunno, I'm not feeling the hype that much. As far as exclusives go (which I watch the conferences for, game-wise), there's not that many. Stuff like No Man's Sky, FF7, Shenmue, Batman, CoD, etc. are all multiplatform games. I was hoping to see some more first party exclusives, maybe something about Bloodborne expansion or such. Show me some Ratchet, I love Ratchet!

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

I think Sony knocked it out of the park here, but I also agree with much of what the GB guys are saying.

 

[Data West]

'Why doesn't everyone just build a PC gaming rig' is such a weirdly simplified thing to say

 

[Zeth]

Mind-boggling the reactions in the other thread - I must be getting too old.

 

[shwimpy]

What a huge damper to an amazing conference.

Oh well, can't win them all. Time to get out of the house.

 

[Rubixcuba]

Truthbombs being dropped, really on point in regard to Sony.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Somehow GB finds a way to put that negative spin on the sony conference. Not at all surprised.

Giant Bomb has to be the most cynical people in gaming media.

Their pessimism and reasoning is so far off base. That one blonde dude is so transparent.

To even downplay Horizon and FF7? Kick rocks "gamer".

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

If you guys want to see a bunch of guys circlejerking pornhub has you covered.

The GB crew's points are all valid and they have every reason to be cynical in this case, not sure why they should force themselves to be super hype about stuff when they're not.

 

[TheFatOne]

They're annoyed by a lack of first party support in 2015.

Didn't watch the MS one, but did they complain at all about the same Halo, Gears, Forza, Fable?

Stopped listening to them because of this. Just super annoying to listen to and now that Patrick I can't really stomach it. Love Gertsman and Vinny and still listen to their E3 stuff.

 

[xxracerxx]

Dude-bros? Hardly.

Those are all coming this year. That is the point.

I don't think they are in the majority also i will be to occupied to watching Street Fighter so whatever they don't actually crown kings.

 

[Jintor]

i was amazed in terms of a show and the types of things sony was able to get up on that stage, but I can't say I'm really exited to play any of those games really.

at least not on playstation

 

[a secret-boss]

I agree with. I was looking forward to some Morpheus.
Kickstarter announcement on E3 Lol

 

[ScaryShark]

Somehow GB finds a way to put that negative spin on the sony conference. Not at all surprised.

Eh, I thought all their points were fair. I don't even agree with all of them but they are certainly valid.

 

[Rhaknar]

By the way, not going pretend to be jaded and edgy by shitting on the big 2 nuts... because fuck yeah FF7 remake and Shenmue 3

Spoiler

On my PC

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

I'm only down on it because there wasn't Morpheus stuff. Would have like something substantial mentioned there. Guess we have to wait for the show floor impressions.

 

[therealminime]

Where can I watch them chat over Ubisoft? Twitch or youtube still around or do I need to wait for the archive?

 

[- J - D -]

They are totally making fair points.

I think some people here are so mired by nostalgia that they are ignoring some important problems with Sony's conference or their schedule for the rest of 2015.

 

[Leg-End]

They aren't wrong about the 2015 cupboards being bare, the PS4 is propped up by 3rd party support the rest of the way.

But we are halfway through 2015, it's not like it's another 12 months until anything is coming, 2016 is looking rosy.

 

[njean777]

'Why doesn't everyone just build a PC gaming rig' is such a weirdly simplified thing to say

its a really ignorant thing to say actually. I like Jeff, but that is the worst argument against a ps4. It really is just pedestrian.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

gettin close to a full hand

I nailed it!

 

[Brashnir]

I would love for one journalist to tell me 'No Man's Sky looks amazing' and then tell me WHY it looks amazing.

All of the "amazing" of NMS exists within the heads of people who are captivated by it.

 

[NightOnyx]

I love you Giantbomb, but this cynicism is too much. It's fine if they don't get as hyped as everyone else does, but damn, this is going a little overboard I think.

 

[Lingitiz]

I think Sony knocked it out of the park here, but I also agree with much of what the GB guys are saying.

Yeah I think Totillo got it right on the YouTube show. Great conference, very exciting announcements, but overall they did not flesh out their lineup for the rest of the year. and the three "never gonna happen" announcements are either far off but don't give guarantees they'll actually be good.

 

[Jams775]

If you think what they're saying is cynical then Giant Bomb probably isn't for you. This is how normal adults who've played games all their lives act about games. We've seen it all before so it's not suprising they're dissapointed.

 

[Zen_Arcade]

You guys also have to keep in mind how many E3s these guys have been through and how they realize that everything on stage at an E3 conference pans out to be good. People flipped a shit over The Order the first time it was shown at E3 too.

People are just riding the hype right now.

Yeah, that's GB in a nutshell. No interesting games to play. You know. Except Last Guardian next year.
