Giant Bomb @ E3 2016 | WEED3

Hey guys, I sorta fell off the GB radar for a bit, but who is the new heavier-set tan guy with the beard and glasses?

I have to say that watching Jeff with guests on the couch has become my favourite thing of E3. I could skip the conferences and trailers entirely and just watch that and I'd be set.
 
tan 😅


I thought it was technically the best one too, but the bar was very, very low this year. Ubi still wins my vote though for the opening dance number. More theatrics at e3 please.

Everything was solid in my opinion (except EA). Microsoft is very TV-like in their approach. Clean cuts, people saying their games are awesome and so on. It makes sense, that's how MS thinks and they're live on TV. It needs the structure.

Ubi is just Ubi. Crazy, refreshing and quirky.

Sony played it cool this year. Orchestra, trailer after trailer. I loved it. I don't even understand the "well why not just release the trailers on YouTube you guys" arguments. The point of E3 is that everybody watches it at the sane time. I also don't buy the "I wanna hear their story" narrative. You want to hear marketing? Read the press releases/interviews.

When it comes to games overall everything was descent. No big surprises but still cool. People saying Kojima's video project for art class was the highlight are weird to me. Sure, it was intriguing and that's cool but who knows what the game will look like in the end. I would never call this a "hard" game reveal, more like a soft presentation of the key art or something.

Anyway, no tennis game got announced so this E3 was TRASH.
 
Man, there are so many different uploaded Youtube videos on the main channel! If you want to see Staff Impressions and the normal Live! videos for each day, which videos are the ones you´re meant to watch?
 
This Jenga match is insane.

Edit: Like I don't think I've ever seen a Jenga game go on so long that you end up running out of legal moves.
 
Who's the other guy in the jenga game?


EDIT: Oh that is Greg Rice. He's not as easily identifiable in black and white as Schafer is
 
Oh man, the Patrick Keplek bit with the Final Fantasy VR demo was hilarious.

"HR is like 8 floors above us..."

"They can't save you."

Saw a video of that demo. Guy playing immediately goes "ooooooo" as he leans towards her chest area, followed by tilting his head and looking down and under. It's so brazen I can't fault SE for going for it.
 
Can't wait for tonight. I'm still laughing over the GR: Wildlands dig at end of that last segment. Many good parts but that got me real good for some reason.
 
Jesus, that last segment. I love that Cara stole Griffin's place and then proceeded to look equal parts distraught and cracking up through the rest of the show.
 
Man, I'm so happy right now. A month or so ago, my PS3 seemed dead. What happened was I turned off my PS3 using the DualShock 3. The PS3 turned off, but was somehow still outputting to my TV (I could control stuff). That eventually went away. Confused, I went to turn my PS3 back on. It wouldn't. No light. Nothing. Having so many PS3 games (74) and being in no position to replace my PS3, so I just let it sit there, hoping for something. Today, for whatever reason, I decided to unplug the power cord from my surge protector and then put it back in. Voila! My PS3 turned on! It's not dead (well, not yet...). I do need to replace the Blu-Ray though (that's been an issue for a while for me; it takes discs but does not read them), but I'd rather need to replace that than the whole PS3.
 
Just a reminder to whoever had thread making duty for the next community thread, but the old one was almost right at the limit so it'll be time to make a new one after E3 ends.
