Giant Bomb @ E3 2016 | WEED3

Was fast asleep for the Bethesda stream, guess I'll have to F5 the first post until the archives are up!

They didn't talk over Kadokawa? That's too bad
(what the hell is Kadokawa)
 
I'm catching up on the conferences right now and just got to the Weed part so I immediately came here to see if you guys did the right thing.

This community never fails.
 
Lukewarm after the opening reveal.
We must have watched different streams. They were very positive on Dishonored 2 which is pretty big since the first didn't grab any of them in any way.

They were also appropriately intrigued by Prey.

Their reaction seemed to meet the show exactly as I expect given their relationship with Bethesda's IPs.

Okay I'd say you are more accurate. Positive, but sedate overall.
 
Nothing was really shown for Prey so I wouldn't say they reacted strongly one way or another. Dishonered also not strong reaction.

Issue with that conference was the lack of gameplay footage. Unfortunate trend.
 
How is literally saying how good and cool it was throughout the demo of Dishonored 2 not a strong reaction? This isn't a YouTube 'reacts' channel.
 
I like the GB guys down to earth reactions far more then jumping in the air for a trailer.

They always have that 'we will see how the game turns out before i jump in the air' vibe.

Just played through the Doom demo. It's fucking fantastic. If I had more money I would definitely buy it this instant. Gotta save up on that 1070 though.
 
Watching the ea postshow again. So damn good.

I was only able to listen to it because I left for the gym right after the conference ended. I was dying in there getting looks from everybody.

Is the Doom demo only the start of the game? If so, you have seen nothing yet. It gets better and better.

No need to be so defensive, GB have popped off at stuff getting announced as well, they were positive about Dishonored but in a pretty mild way, not really surprising as I don't think any of them played much of the first game, (Maybe Austin?) and most of them don't have the patience for a stealth game in the first place.
 
I don't want to get into it, but I find it pretty silly when game companies like Bethesda go and wear rainbow ribbons and change their twitter avatars to support some thing that they're not really supporting.

No link to any charitable service or anything, just a bullshit condolences tweet, rainbow avatar and some ribbons an assistant bought this morning at Michaels. But they got the queers' backs!

Damned if you do damned if you don't. EA got assailed by Polygon for not acknowledging it.
 
I just realised I'll be able to watch almost everything live except the Sony conference (like every year apparently).

Next year I'm taking a few days off for this. Sony is usually the one I'm most interested in.

I appreciated what people representing Bethesda did but the criticism is more "damned if you half ass it, damned if you don't do nothing at all". There are degrees of criticism and different criticisms.

I'm guessing a big company like Bethesda would probably not be agile enough to get all the approvals for a bigger response.

Yeah if anything I was surprised by how exited Jeff sounded for it, giving he's not a big stealth guy or fan of the first game.

Overall as GB reactions go, they seemed quite positive on the whole conference.
 
Catched up on Bethesda.

They seemed more excited for Disnhored than I expected honestly. I didn't think that presentation was particularly compelling.

The reaction to Quake was amazing. From pure excitement to kinda of confusion. Brad didn't seem to know what to make out if it.

The rest of the conference went as expected. No big reveals and no big reactions.
 
EA was... eh. Titanfall looked surprisingly cool, EA Originals sounds cool. The Star Wars stuff was just masturbatory fluff and the Mass Effect thing was nothing more than a tease of vague ideas.

Bethesda atleast showed that Dishonored footage, but Elder Scrolls Online, Legends, and a Skyrim remaster don't really speak to me. Not sure what Prey is yet, and Quake Champions doesn't count for anything until we see gameplay.
 
Also, as a big Blink fan they were way more positive about them than I expected. Jeff even dropped a Boxcar Racer reference.

Alex's reaction to Dan asking if Blink was ska was amazing.
 
I'll be updating the OP with links to site and YouTube archives as they're available as well, just FYI

in case for some reason you don't just look on the site or YouTube first

Good to have all of that in one place, so we can point to the OP when people ask for the archives!
 
is anyone else bothered that Dishonored 2 ripped off Heroes:gemini main mechanic

That's like a budget title and they're ripping off

It's bothering me, I don't even care for that game.

You mean the mechanic that they ripped off from Singularity?
