E3 2016s "Cringe" Moments

Loved Aonuna's reaction to this - he basically laughed it off like shit happens, seems like a chill guy. Poor Bill looked really embarrassed.

Mourinho and the career mode reveal in FIFA was awful. Having a genius like Carmack reduced to the role he had was also terrible.

Didn't see the comments in the Treehouse thread but I was following it during the breaks in the stream. Came back to it at one stage and it was closed, Didn't know what had happened, should have guessed. Fuck sake people.
 
Hey how would you like if I was linking pictures of your dick all over the fucking screen while you're trying to do your job and making some pretty fucking gross comments about you like you were a piece of meat. Get over yourself. Maybe we should just talk about your groin for the rest of the thread as a counterpoint! Don't get offended though bro, only some pre-mature sex-related jokes.

That's a very small counterpoint.

Sure if cringe meant the best thing ever.
 
On Gaf there was one poster who called the Minecraft presenter a "fake marketing bitch." When he got called out on it he tryed to playoff by saying something along the lines of "its ok I work in marketing I know fake types like her."
 
Oh c'mon, I'm not even into big breasts, but a girl with double-D wearing a tight T-shirt...nature/god creates some things with a purpose, you know.
I've seen so many hereosexual women in my life having their eyes glued to other women's assets...but I'm not in the mood to discuss this stuff on Gaf anymore.
Just have some self control, dude. That's all anybody's saying.

Nobody's saying it's weird that you found a woman attractive. Just don't be crass about that shit. There's a time and a place, and it's not slobbering all over your keyboard in the middle of an E3 presentation thread. Have some tact sometimes, is what I'm saying.

I'd like to think if the thought of posting something like this crossed my mind, my brain would catch me and say, "Woah, how about you keep that thought right up there in the old noggin where it originated. Nobody needs to hear you say something like that. You're better than that." But I guess that's not a universal.
 
EA and Battlefield 1.

All those fucking stars, like holy shit are you fucking kidding me? And all that 'real gamerz' shit they were saying that didn't feel the least bit sincere. Oh and Jamie Foxx looking higher than Snoop.
 
The EA conference as a whole seemed focus-tested to death. Everything revolving around "Play" as this high concept marketing piece was mind bogglingly eye rolling. I'm not really interested in the games they showed-- ME doesn't count since it was another behind the scenes vid-- but marquee stuff like BF and TF seemed like solid entries into their respective series. Peter Moore is likable enough as a presenter, but Andrew Wilson looked like he walked straight out a David Cage game. Press X to "Play!" and all that.

And the post-conference celeb interviews were a beautiful train wreck.
 
Snoop with a fat J hanging from his mouth on the BF1 stream


It was in CA and I assume that Snoop has a prescription. Method Man and Redman performed as Konami's booth a few years ago. There wasn't any smoking on camera, but the area near Konami's booth smelled "medicinal". (The booth's for big publishers are more than just a booth. They usually have a back area with doors and multiple rooms. Microsoft and Sony had two story booths.)
 
The Sea of Thieves commentary was pretty cringe-worthy.

Literally the least cringe-worthy and most natural sounding faked commentary that's ever been in an E3 trailer. Am I alone in thinking this? I think GAF is getting too cynical.

Did you listen to it? Do you actually think anyone's group of friends will talk like that while playing the game?

What I actually think is that somehow you've never ever seen a youtube video of friends gaming together if you think this shit sounds alien
 
The Resident Evil 7 reveal sadly.

I am a huge RE fan, so there I am rolling my eyes and sighing at this "vr game" that looks and sounds boring. Pretty much just waiting for the trailer to end so we can see what's next.... then the trailer ends with "Resident Evil 7"

What? WHAT? That crap was a RE game? Not only a RE game but 7? That was RE7? What? What are you kidding? What the hell did I just watch. I thought it was a House of the Dead remake or some crap PT knockoff. It was RE7?

I think I'm still in shock.
 
Honestly this E3 seemed to have far less "cringe" than the usual. Part of that is probably due to things like no Nintendo conference and Sony just showing trailers and demos with very little talking in between.
 
I thought the dude that was doing the interviews for battlefield (with The Game and Snoop and all that) did great. He was put into an awkward situation of asking random celebs if they were pumped for BF and he did the best he could. I thought it was hilarious and dude did a good job.

This... is just really sad. : /

(sigh)
 
I think the FF15 demo at the Xbox conf probably cost Square millions in lost sale dollars :(

Sorry guys, that wasn't the best call/showing

I don't know why you and others keep mentioning her 'tight t-shirt' like y'all aren't being super fucking transparent.
 
South Park was the worst offender in that conference...

"Let's use a racial slur alot! Because it's funny! Because it's a racial slur!"

I was sinking in my seat with how fucking often they were saying it.
what

First a definition:
Coon - An insulting name for a black person. Similar to 'Nigger'.

Cool? Now let's watch the developer introduce the game: https://youtu.be/RVt25bOM6eM?t=3224
 
Final Fantasy in the Xbox briefing. What a load of clunky shite.

Kojima in the Sony conference. "I've got nothing, please be excited!"
