Yes please. Choo choo! xD

ALL ABOARD!

Anyone else need a ticket
 
Im looking forward to this, but I guess MS hasn't had a history of good conferences, and with all this negativity on the gaming side, it boggles my mind.

Here we are on the horizon of a new gaming generation, and instead of rejoicing all I hear is complaints.

I for one am happy to see where next gen takes us. Its been so long..............

Sad, but the Xbox 360 news are "happier" than the Xbox One news :(
 
Was on the original Ford GT hype train, but since that won't be posted anymore I will gladly jump on this one.
If you're the new conductor, count me in! I was on FordGT's hype train, but it got derailed. :(
Ford was on the Train. I'm co-conductoring for him. Still got the original images too. I'm going to make sure both of these beauties make it to E3 Station in one piece.

 
Shame that we've lost so many; right now the MS hate is high, so losing guys quiets this thread even more, which seemed to be a bit of a haven. Shame that.

Given the apparent GAF narrative that has currently been established for E3, I see no chance that there will be much MS positivity over the coming days regardless of what's shown. Hopefully those with genuine excitement for the games that ARE shown can post without a bunch of noise clogging the discussion.

How many have been banned? Long standing members or juniors? I've noticed 1 or 2 and I thought they were earned. Bish flat out said the latest batch of juniors was fascinating in that it contained a ton of social agency e-mails. A bunch of new juniors with < 150 posts have had some laughable posts.
 
Too late? GAF has a reputation outside of it for being a Sony hivemind. Not that I necessarily agree with that.

Meanwhile, I think it's best for the mental health of all concerned that we should just ignore the externalities and focus on the thread topic.

it's been thought of that way for years by lots of folks on other forums and it has a very big vocal lobby of them but I decided to give it a go and i'm glad I did, there are actually plenty of Ninto, PC, xbox and everything fans here. they're just quieter I think.

all forums seem to end with one lobby being bigger anyway, it's just the way it seems to go.

Killer Rin. My New GAF hero. Carrying our flagship vessel into E3 and beyond.

We salute you sir!


Edit:

Somebody with time and skills list all of the fallen heroes who havent made it up to this point. Some all the way back from the Tent.

every new game announcement thread will get derailed very quickly, but we will see.

Sorry I was thinking more of Reiko, ford, dopey, etc. Folks who had posted here and in the tent thread who appeared honestly interested in the Xbox One and what it would have. I have not tracked or followed juniors in other threads though.

Ah, Reiko was a ban bet no? Not sure on the others or what they did.

Mods get very against this during E3 week and will be out for blood.

I hear you.

I don't mind discussion, I mean that is what forums are all about. But the cacophony over this has hit a point where (IMO) it is no longer discussion. YOU are either with them, or you are a shill.

The game threads should be left alone. Thousands of people's work should not be sullied and shitted on because of what people far above them do. I'm not fully on-board with what Microsoft is doing with their console. Their policies don't really bother me, but I think that we should have some justification as to why they are doing it and their cancellation of meetings and such irks the shit out of me. That said, I'm here for the games. If they are great, I know what I'll be playing.
 
I think Sony's silence has been rough for PS fans. There is almost no fallout at all for their lack of information. The fans seem to be directing all their frustration at MS. Hopefully once Sony has their show PS fans will focus on something more positive. I doubt it but maybe.

Quite a few long standing members, maybe 20-30 Xbox GAF non-Juniors.

They gave their accounts in this bitter and harsh struggle, it's up to us to move on and nevar forget their sacrifices.

My avatar there, please. I'm a little depressed now, but I want to know the XO games.

The games are coming, why do you think Microsoft put their cards on the table now? So as Monday could be all about the games and not the FUD. Instead of having to cover all this depressing stuff at E3, like Sony will have to do, Microsoft are dropping 12 bombs one after the other and it will be glorious.

Of course, but the derails will taper off pretty fast then we can settle down to some good discussion and speculation.

Crackdown 3 OT my new home.

Ridiculous. There was a thread I was just in like 15 min ago where there was a perfectly fine discussion on XB1 and why someone didn't care that they were losing the ability to do something like trade games and getting the ability to download them to any XB1 anywhere.

edit: Yea there is a lot of hyperbole and sensationalism going on right now but it's not US OR SHILL. The only suspects of being shills were the last couple batches of juniors.

They shouldn't be. The mods should seriously crack down on that if it happens.

Why should the developers and their games take shit because of problems people have with the platform? They shouldn't. There are so many threads where people can discuss those issues. Let the game threads be about the games.

Well MS was the first to detail their policies on their new platform, so they are taking the most amount of flak.

Sony is in this weird position though. People want it to have no DRM at all, but I just don't see that being possible in this day and age. Hell, even the NES had region-locking, a rudimentary form of DRM. The key for Sony is in how they present it to people, and whether they will keep things the status-quo as it is on the PS3, or change it so you have to activate games on your account like Xbox One and Steam.

Well MS has revealed all the bad news, so if they a decent e3 they me become slightly redeemed and end with a good light on them. Sony on the other hand as only revealed good news, so if they have a bad e3 all the negative attention from MS will be put on them for a few days.
 
Jeeze guys, every thread that pops is has a paranoid atmosphere from all angles, it's really not fun anymore :( I should take my own advice and play some games now.

OXM has a good article on the subject.

Also speaking of OXM, they have a constantly updated list of confirmed Xbox One games. Notable to me for listing The Witcher 3

I'm cool with folks that ARE astoturfing (new word to me) being gone, that's crappy where/whenever it exists. Plus I think the noise will die down eventually. WE can agree to disagree here, I'm not hating on the entirety of GAF, I'm noting a trend I don't care for at this time.
