Yup love the moderation here. I have very little interest in reading and participating on any other forum nowadays, especially gaming related. I'd rather take too strict than too lax moderation. My argument with the guy I mentioned earlier started in a thread about Neogaf and ofcourse he was there commenting on the moderation in here, since Criminal Girls threads aren't allowed. Don't look up the game anyone if you don't know what it is, just trust me that the game is banned here for a good reason.

Yeeeees ty more Easy Allies while I wait for more Easy Allies.
everyone wants their own little echo chamber. neogaf has basically one opinion on politics and if you divert from it even a little you get shut down.
honestly its pretty bad. it means you cant get challenged on your thoughts. everyone just stays in their little hidey hole with their mates that agree 100% on everything, thinking their thoughts are correct, and demonising anyone who disagrees.
both sides of politics do it. neogaf definitely swings hard left, young, liberal, idealistic, naive. imo.
Your not banned if your convey your points in an intelligent way having different opinions then most of GAF is fine, just back yourself up or you end up looking like a idiot blaming others for being *naive* for not somehow understanding you. I mean your not giving examples of the things you feel GAF demonises others for or your own thoughts simply using buzzwords like *Hard Left*, its hard from the get go to have a conversation when you start one like this, your paragraph just sorta comes off as a angsty teen blaming GAF as a whole.
I feel this happens yes, but it comes from other posters. I don't think moderation is shutting discussion down. Most bans I see in threads about diversity and representation are for people driving by with "who cares?" in a topic that is already 10 pages long, so clearly people care. And hey, even Morrigan Stark and Crossing Eden have had bans even recently, they are pretty vocal in those kind of topics and they are arguing in favor of diversity and equal representation. So it's not like the "other side" gets a free reign either.
I've sometimes seen people complain about their GAF bans, in best cases I've been able to see why they were banned. And it's pretty sad that these people don't seem to understand why they were banned but rather blame it on "can't have different opinions". Not to say that there never has been unnecessary or too hasty bans, I remember one myself. The person banned was trying to avoid offense and actually learn about something they didn't have experience with and understanding of.

Nah. If you have a non-hivemind political opinion on GAF, the best policy is always to keep it to yourself. You can get dogpiled for more or less anything.
This place is, for better or worse, an echo chamber on political issues. That's not the end of the world, but it does chase a lot of people away.

They didn't seem to care much for the reveal at the end.

They should go back and retroactively lower EA conference scores. That conference does not deserve the high praise it got.

Aw man, I wish the reactions to the Spider-Man trailer had been uploaded. I was so disappointed after the trailer, that I was curious to see what the Allies thought of it. I hope it gets uploaded later today.

It'll probably be there next E3. RDR2 ain't coming out before then anyways
Non union, so it's still related to the strike? These companies are being pretty pathetic.
Don't know about that but if you want to see yesterday's you could scrub through the long form twitch archive to view it now
GOTY is going to be an utter mess this year. This is no fault of the Allies but I feel like no game is going to get its proper due as a maximum of only 1-2 allies will have played each game that's perfectly worthy. Which means it will most likely go to the one that each of them got the time to play and therefore has the most widely shared perception amongst the group.
Edit: Just got home to watch the Nintendo thingy to see MATT BLAIR!

My assumption up to now is that it would be a Zelda sweep. Even Ian liked it with minimal backhanded compliments!
Bless Huber for his positivity
Jones I think it's unfair for you to ask what yoshi brings to the table considering animal crossing has released the same game 4 times. If we're just probably just collecting the same fish and bugs again, and lets be real we will be, then don't get mad at yoshi for getting a new papercraft version
Tbh I'm excited for both that and Kirby. I need some chill couch games to play with my friend, we were celebrating the announcements.
Nintendo + Ubisoft were my fave part of e3

I don't think it's unfair. I feel the closer you have game releases the more "whats new" applies
If you release a game once every 5-10 years in a franchise that demand greatly lowers

Zelda and Mario will be the main contenders for GOTY. Other games will be mentioned, but let's be honest.. Don't expect/hope for Persona or anything else to win lol.
Kirby and Yoshi deserve more. Much more.

Talking about the games themselves. I personally thought Kirby looked fun, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't hoping for Kirby and Yoshi to be more than what we've seen.
That being said, if Nintendo is to continue with these ridiculously easy Kirby/Yoshi games, they should create a mash-up between the two. Kirby X Yoshi could be a cool mix.
Hopefully they left early enough to avoid an awful line.
I'm not gonna expect them to stand in that line just to deal with whatever insane hellscape awaits inside. I hope they all just said fuck it and went to Fatburger to plan Pokemon TCG Tournament v. 2.0.
At least the weather there seems to be okay. If it was edging near 100 like it is here, I'd be worried about people not making it.

It was pretty much the same as Sony's conference. A lot of what we knew and some surprises.
Compare the Metroid Prime 4 trailer to something like TLOU2 or FF7 or Death Stranding and it feels pretty barebones. The Pokemon Switch announcement was lol.
it has only been tame because the 80% of things of this e3 were actually leaked.
as the allies said, if the mario + rabbids game wouldn't have been leaked, this announcement would be very huge, but since we knew about it, there wasn't any surprise.
same as metroid games we already heard a million rumors about, and same as monster hunter trademarks. Beyond Good and Evil 2 as well.
I can't blame them too much for not making another FFVIIR reveal, not all years we will have those huge things, they are judging them based on how capable they were on showing what they had, I actually found some scores harsh.

I think that they were way too hard on Sony conference. The first half they were cheering like crazy with the announcements. Then they were like not as impressed with the second half and decided it was worse than MS.
Not much love and respect there.
If they rated PS confrence better than MS, would that be love and respect then? =P
Maybe don't have a downer of a showing after 2 announcements that only picked up for God of War.
Not even sure what that last line even means. "Score things as I see it or else!"?
Jones Tweeted so damn hype about Sea of Thieves that I cannot wait to hear.
