where is grenade game?

 

[daveo42]

this stream needs more blue milk. or weed. or anything.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Yeah, I feel like you shouldn't be watching this feed if there was a remote chance there'd be something you really wanted to know about. I don't plan to use the GB feed for some of the other conferences, but for EA I don't give a shit so bring on the talking!

For me it's not about hearing the conference, but the sound feed of the conference plus 2-3 GB'ers shouting at the same time is rough on the ears.

AT-ST, AT-ST, AT-ST!

I should buy a 1080

AT-ST, AT-ST, AT-ST!

[Robaperas]

FAKE ESPORTS COMMENTARY WILL BE THE DEATH OF ME

I prefer this to the ubisoft in-game chatter

 

[BronsonLee]

I don't really get the vibe that GB is hating on Youtubers

They could try to bury everybody since this is a pretty Youtuber heavy stream and they mostly haven't

 

[broncobuster]

I really like how they're using the old Freelancer flight controls for kb/m. I always had to use WASD+arrows to fly in Battlefield games, when I stopped caring and put away my flight stick.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

So you still just spawn directly into vehicles, huh.

what in god's name is blue milk

 

[LurkerPrime]

I really dislike the trend for every game to have Destiny's UI these days. It's way too minimalist, to the point of soullessness.

...Ok, not every game. But still.

 

[zelas]

Are they still using the gamespot player? Its so blurry...

 

[Eleuin]

they weren't kidding about 30 minutes huh

 

[HideyoshiJP]

I prefer this to the ubisoft in-game chatter

It's marginally better, but the cringe is still strong.

 

[Fox Mulder]

the more they mock youtubers and the like, the more it sounds like sour grapes tbh. And I dont even watch / care about youtubers or streamers.

Except they get benefits and health insurance and don't have to piss in bottles streaming 15 hours a day to make a living.

 

[strafer]

Okay, a bit too much Star Wars now.

 

[Hjod]

Watches stream namned "We talk over the EA press conferences".

They talk too much, I can't hear the stream!

 

[FHIZ]

Are they still using the gamespot player? Its so blurry...

no, they switched to YouTube nearly immediately after it began.

Fuck no. UI's can't get minimalist enough.

I despise busy UI's over nearly anything else.

EA?
Soulless?

OH? Freelancer is one of my favorites

 

[DanLongman]

I agree. I sorta wish they'd pay off the YouTuber hate I love GB and not YouTubers but it is coming off rough

 

[Kusagari]

I don't feel like they're talking shit about the streamers so much as they're talking shit about then being so heavily featured.

Jeff would be just as incredulous if some company wanted him to be featured in their E3 press conference.

 

[OriginalPoe]

This honestly looks a hell of a lot better than Battlefront 1.

 

[darkwing-buck]

fake star wars fan detected

woops

 

[ElectronicOldMen]

I feel like the presentation itself was a bit of a shitshow but EA actually brought some pretty cool looking games to the table, not bad.

 

[Fox Mulder]

Fuck no. UI's can't get minimalist enough.

I despise busy UI's over nearly anything else.

Yeah, I watched my brother play Witcher 3 and was like, wut?

 

[SirClinksAlot]

Thats the impression I get as well. Its just fake as hell.

 

[Aselith]

So you still just spawn directly into vehicles, huh.

Imagine if you had to run to landing strips and shit though. Shit's not fun and it never was. It was just necessary.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Yeah, I watched my brother play Witcher 3 and was like, wut?

The Witcher 3 lets you scale and customize the shit about the UI though, I believe.

But yeah, less is more.

 

[Puck Beaverton]

it would also be just as dumb

 

[Berserking Guts]

I need this game in a way I didn't need BF1.

 

[Cozmogramma]

I love Ben and Dan nerding it out together.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Imagine if you had to run to landing strips and shit though. Shit's not fun and it never was. It was just necessary.

The inability to get into and out of vehicles is what made the Battlefront reboot a worse game than Battlefront 2.

 

[Data West]

Muselk I know who that is

 

[justjim89]

Even with my dislike of Star Wars, the group collectively rolling their eyes for the length of a conference is getting lame. They go, "Huh, that looks neat" every 17 minutes or so and for the rest of the time they seem so above-it-all.

I didn't watch much of their E3 commentary last year, so maybe I'm just no longer accustomed to it. I'm certainly not asking them to feign enthusiasm, but all this leaves something to be desired.

Also yeah, you can practically hear some of their disdain for youtubers.

 

[Heroman]

All of this YouTube come off as fake because alot of these aren't battlefront streamers that game deid fast.

 

[wesleyshark]

I love Ben and Dan nerding it out together.

Same lol. Ben was a good hire.

 

[Salarians]

 

[Gandie]

Imagine if you had to run to landing strips and shit though. Shit's not fun and it never was. It was just necessary.

Fuck that.

1. Star Wars ships don't need landing strips.
2. Having fixed vehicle spawns helps structure the map and helps create stable front lines.
3. It enables you to steal enemy vehicles, which is a ton of fun.

 

[OriginalPoe]

I also really enjoy the idea of playing as a droid... I don't know why.

 

[Hoo-doo]

I love the dumb droids so damn much.

 

[Aselith]

I feel like Jeff could present the hell out of a product though but he's a loose cannon and would definitely soft sell it.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

agree

 

[IaN_GAF]

Thank fuck I'm watching this stream with GB commentary. 100% more fun this way.

 

[Data West]

This looks nice and all

but this is way too much

 

[dhlt25]

I need this game in a way I didn't need BF1.

yep I wished battlefront was like this. Got burned hard on that game

 

[Joey Ravn]

All of this YouTube come off as fake because alot of these aren't battlefront streamers that game deid fast.

Honestly, these youtubers getting paid or promoted to play Star Wars is the least fake thing about this conference. The levels of "Hello, fellow youths" EA displayed was off the charts.

Other than one game its been everything we've expected. What's to get excited about?
