that game is amazing. I made the thread back when it came out and i was always hoping for people tu bump it. it's awesome.
And you posted that just to spread the infection? Because it worked.
Of course, all must have the lockdown.

glitches pls!
The only Metal Gear game I've played is Metal Gear. I did get Ground Zeroes through PSPlus, so I'm interested to try that out.

Yeah and I still need to go back and watch the Treehouse play some Mario Maker.

Actually it was professional entertainment
Yup. The new format is great. I think that's why the Boyes/Johnny/Lang segment bothered me, because the new style is so much better that it was particularly striking to see them revert to the old style. I kind of felt the same with the Campo Santo segment, too.
The Rami/Cowboy/Boyes segment was probably my favorite.
The old style is just... reminiscent of screaming PewDiePie-esque crap... I dunno, maybe I've just outgrown it.
I thought this was the best three nights of after hours shows they've done.

I don't think we have to choose between the thoughtful segments and the crazy ones. I loved them both for different reasons. Watching the passion and knowledgeo f lorne Lanning was great, but watching the drunk Midway Besties self destruct was awesome too.
No Vinny, no craziness other than Lang/V/Boyes. The only great segments were the Spencer/Kudo, Cowboy/Boyes, and the Lang/Johnny V. Lorne/Green/Drake was pretty interesting.
I feel like this years E3 after hours allowed for a lot more thoughtful conversation, but was missing out on the more hilarious absurdity that the giant groups allowed.
Stuff still got real crazy and hectic, but not in the same way as last year.
This is excluding the Boyes/Johnny V/ Lang segment, because that is such an absurd outlier every time that it'll always be golden.
Johnny V that was really fucked up what you did!
Edit: Also like alr1ght said, there was a serious lack of Vinny. I'd love to see him on those segments, hearing his impressions on the beastcast was great.

There has never been any Vinny during these, always behind the scenes.

It might be downhill from here.
MGR was a really good game damnit.
Agreed on all counts.
Still a great set of shows, though. Jeff is a fantastic interviewer. Also, I'm catching up on the day 3 show now and man Dave Lang, Adam Boyes and Johnny V are hilarious together.
Yeah, it is! The best in MGS even.
It's too bad it's not canon because Raiden would be my favorite cool/goofy character in the series.

I think I generally agree with this statement. But it really comes as no surprise to me that the most interesting/entertaining panels are the ones with the long-time industry vets.

The audio for these nightly podcasts have been amazing. Vinny and the team have a great set up this year. I'm used to these audio-only versions sounding terrible.

I'm curious how this will play in audio only. Their expressions were so clutch for that last segment.

I know there's been plenty of talk about VR making horror games intense.
But man imagine walking around your dimly lit house at night with some Hololens horror game fuckin with you

From last E3, the obvious weakness of the setup was with larger guests per segment, quitier and non-regular guests were crowded out. This was especially stark with the success of the lone Ed Boon segment.
I think GB went slightly too much in the other direction this year. Although I loved more of the deeper discussion with fewer guests, which allowed for all guests to talk and engage, I felt outside of the last segment, there were not enough crazy GB segments. The last segment worked moreso in a 3 person setup because of the connection between the 3. Of course, this opinion may differ by poster.
What I think they should do next year is to allow flexibility. Continue to use these shorter segments for more thorough discussion or new guests to the show, and use larger sets I. E an extra sofa for guests they are regular and more confident. Mix these throughout the night to allow for more variety.
Edit : this is not to say Jeff Green and Xavier segments were not funny. But overall, a bit more silliness could have been injected.
Greatwork GB crew and thanks again.

The final segment was what i was hoping for (except the drama didn't have to be that real LOL) so i'm glad it happened.
hopefully the crew can merge both approaches some more or if not they can leave the crazy shit for last like this one.

while i'd always appreciate more vinny, the bottom line for me is: the highs were much higher this year and the different panels were much more memorable. the filler guests last year really took away from my enjoyment, and in hindsight, it all blends together
last year wins in terms of conference commentary, though

Agreed, the new format worked really well.

Yeah I'd say last years commentary was better, I wasn't a fan of the negativity, kind of missed Patrick during them and Dan was way too quiet. The evening live shows though we're excellent, good guests, discussions and Jeff really showed how good he really is at all of this.
