This is not Reddit. Yet and still, Ask Me Anything

I just came in here to say you are my favorite conference host of the past 2 years! I really hope you become a permanent staple in the ubisoft e3 conferences.

P. S. LANA!

Whee! Rainbow 6.

Boo! No playable Halo 5 or Fallout 4.

And where is the new Gears? Hm? WHERE????

I still have to hit the floor Thurs. Will check out The Order, Enemy Within, The Crew (haptic cab! whee!) and a few other things (Oculus Rift v2). Apparently people on here just freaking LOVE Destiny, so maybe I will give it another chance.

Really curious how the Order plays!

What do you think of VR? Have you tried Project Morpheus or Oculus Rift?
If yes, did you love it? If not, is it because it's too nerdy and stuff?

As an American, do you feel more close to a console made by Microsoft than the others?

You should watch Rick & Morty, amazing animated show on AW created by the Community fella.

Is it cool or is it cool to have so many people tell you face to face how beautiful you are?
I mean, I'm freakishly GOD-looking and people don't do that with me, I imagine they must feel massively under pressure and intimidated by my looks when meeting me in person, you should teach me your secret to have 'em come at me in the open... I have lots of free time.

I can imagine the answer, being American and all, but do you care about the World Cup?
Forza Italia! :P

Also, this one I dare you not to dodge: :P
You say you despise cutesy funny jumping things with bunnies and shit (obviously a dig at Nintendo's stuff I guess)... then how do you feel when you have to act excited for the next RABBIDS game or the new Just Dance?

There are so many questions here that you do not even DESERVE an answer, and yet and still your hubris commands it. So.

Tried Oculus v1 at Facebook last week. Coolness but feels super Beta. Trying v2 on the floor. Will report. Early feels are that I like it and also I fear it deeply.

I love my xBox not because I am an American, but because my gateway game was Halo, and so therefore my gateway console was the box, and you never forget your first love.

Dan Harmon, who created Rick and Morty, is the premium guest on my podcast this month and he is my favorite day-drinking genius ever. We had cocktails and cursed a lot. You can listen here: http://girlonguy.net

You are the most attractive human I have ever seen and I have to avert my eyes to avoid being blinded permanently.

I like soccer ENOUGH. I have a red card app on my phone and I am constantly penalizing people at dinner and at bars. So that's something.

I don't hate Nintendo. I don't hate anyone. I just only play shooters. It limits the number of games I play and the likelihood that gaming will eat my life and I will wash out of entertainment and end up being a security guard outside the Orange Julius at your local mall. When I have played cute games (Kinect Sports, Portal, PvZ), I have enjoyed myself. It's just my own self-selecting gaming perimeter.

I played Just Dance last year at Comic-Con and it was so tragic I was in therapy for a month. That said, it looks fun when other people do it, and I do have a Karaoke game at home that I force people to do on New Year's Eve, so I don't begrudge anyone their adorable, furry, giggly fun. If you love that game, then that game is lovable, and I don't judge.

Love of gaming is what we all have in common. It makes us powerful. It makes us unstoppable.

It makes us hungry.

I felt it was too repetitive, that it didn't have the same sense of humor or complexity that F3 did. It was fun, but there was just something too familiar about it in comparison to F3. Not as many layers, not as many cool off-campaign NPC encounters and side missions. I loved how melancholy and robust F3 was and how much you could do off-campaign in that game. New Vegas just didn't feel as... well, big.

Having recently started playing New Vegas, I agree completely. I realize that NV wasn't meant to be a full-size game and as an open world game that hurts it in my opinion. It doesn't have the grand scale of F3. I got the same feeling playing Alan Wake: American Nightmare.
 
Even though I have a Sunset Overdrive as my avatar I have to admit Rainbow Six Siege and Crackdown are my games of E3. I know you're a huge Rainbow Six fan did you ever play Crackdown and if so did you collect all the Orbs without getting angry?
 
Aisha Tyler said:
OOH!!!! I won't do this well at all, but here goes. Defenders have defensive (!) tools -- barbed wire, metal shields and you can seal doors and windows with special field barricades. You can set prox mines and your arsenal is generally defensive. You can also monitor the breach with interior security cams (which can be shot out by the infiltration team). Weaponry is varied but generally you are equipped with tools that enable you to fortify and defend both the structure and the hostage.

Attackers have tiny roving drones which can move into the structure and see what defensive elements have been set up, they're small but definitely detectible and destroyable by the defensive teams. Various breach charges, and of course you can rappel and breach from a variety of angles. Flash bang and some of the weapons you remember from the last R6.

In multiplayer both teams get a bit of time to either fortify or recon before the match starts, which is fun because no one really has the upper hand here. Everyone is watching what everyone else is doing and formulating a strategy (or crying softly to themselves.).

Action on multiplayer 5v5 was very fast and fun, contained action with lots of action and breaches from all sides, above and below. Not a lot of cover in that house (walls and doors blow easily and frags come quickly (no like "I'm stunned give me a moment to catch my breath" stuff). I did a lot of watching team members try to clean up the mayhem while I talked shit on headset.

SUPER fun.

Awesome, thanks so much Aisha. Definitely my favorite thing from the conference yesterday. I'm loving the way it sounds. Hope you're back to host again next year.
 
You're a fan of Fallout 3 like any sane person, but what did you make of Borderlands 2? Quite a similar game in some ways and scratched that itch as I patiently await Fallout 4
 
Thanks for answering our questions! I'm a black nerdy comic and you were one of the first comics I saw where I thought "I'm not alone!", so thanks for that. Any advice for a comedian trying to navigate the comedy club system?
 
Those security guards keep you safe Aisha!

They put their lives on the line day after day to make sure you can have your Orange Julius in peace.

Do you even like Orange Julius?

I have a giant sack full of devices and I check them obsessively. This is not particularly a good thing.

Best app on iPhone for me is Calvetica. My calendar rules my life and I check this many hundreds of times a day.

I have both an Android and an iPhone so that I never have a dead battery.

I still carry an Anker rechargeable in case one phone dies because somehow not having two fully charged phones at all times makes me feel as if the world is folding in on itself.

I record my podcast on an iPad mini which is where I also read scripts and books and play games.

For more on my workflow and productivity, check out the first annual all listener question episode of my podcast, where I talk a lot about it: http://girlonguy.net/podcast/girl-on-guy-75-the-first-annual-awesome-listener-question-show/

I also did an episode of Mac Power Users where we talk extensively about workflow. Sexy. http://www.macpowerusers.com/2013/05/13/mac-power-users-137-workflows-with-aisha-tyler/

Listening to your podcast now. I'll also check out the Mac Power episode.


Thanks for answering my question!
 
Aisha, thanks for doing this,


Do you have a favorite ubisoft game that was shown at the conference? And have you played any of them at length?

Rainbow Six Siege, Unity and Farcry 4 all look incredible!
 
Hey Aisha,

Thanks again for doing this. It seems like every game has a white male protagonist and women and minorities (especially female minorities) are woefully unrepresented in games. Do you have any thoughts or comments on this or is it a non-issue for you since you mostly play shooters and are, therefore, usually staring down the barrel of a gun rather than at a playable character.

Edit: I once dated a black girl that had "no ass." I used to tell her she's the 8th wonder of the world. Had to send her that YouTube clip someone posted a few posts up and let her know she's not alone. ASSLESS UNITE!

Respect.
Seriously.
Also I'm totally catching your podcast with Dan Harmon.
But again, thanks for the answers. And that music video you shot near my brother's house (!), although the flow and hard hitting riff alone made it worthwhile so I'm glad you made it, was unwarranted: you got some mighty fine booty, girl.

Aisha, if you could have a tag here on GAF, what would it be and why?
Click to expand...

Well, I don't give out my gamertag. So if that was a ploy to find out my gamertag, well played, milady (or man, I have no idea if you look like your avatar).

I like using my own name instead of a tag. It's like being a rapper and using your actual name instead of something odd and clever.

So. I want my GAF tag to be Kendrick Lamar.

Really? I heard mixed reviews from people who played it. Was waiting for a steam discount before jumping on board.

Yeah that'd be a safe bet. But I really loved it. Came out of nowhere, had a really interesting story and the shootin' was awesome. Great to go back to a weapon wheel.

Kinda slows in the last half but still great.

What are your favorite original XBox games besides Halo? Did you enjoy the Star Wars Battlefront games (some of my favorite games ever!), and if you did are you excited to see it coming back?

YOU LOSE AT GAF!

My tag was given because I made a fig in ass comment. Under the name. Mark of pride or signature of stupidity.

I played Siege and Far Cry. Both were killer. Far Cry is going to be super. I weaponized an elephant. That was new.

In interest of full disclosure I am not a massive AC player so I can't tell you about that but I loved both the trailer and the gameplay.
 
Aisha Tyler said:
I honestly have never played this game and had to ask the IGN team about it. I have no insider information about it at all. However, I will say, since the first game came out in 2003, and it is now 2014, that maybe it is time to take the box outside and bury it in the backyard under the marigolds next to Whiskers.

This is not the opinion of the Ubisoft corporation.

Lol Aisha bringing the reality bombs
 
Aisha Tyler said:
I dunno how "important" I said it was. It was important to ME. Hah. But yes, I was obviously not playable, which was full of boo.

That part of my life is very foggy, much like everything that happened prior to about 11am this morning.

Awesome! It's so great that you were involved in Reach. I loved your work in the Beta promotion.
