The Official E3 2011 Thread

[sdp]

If anything SpikeTVs audience is the one that would be happy having two new HALOS because its MOTHER****EN HALO, throw in more Call of Duty and other 'casual'/mainstream M rated games and boom they're happy.

Any gaffers here?

Here is the E3 Bingo card:

[IamtheKnight]

I'm a Halo fan but I really think that making a Halo 4 and Halo CE remake is pointless. I will pass on these because I know that Bungie would not be making them. So please Microsoft do us Halo fans a favor and please stop making Halo games.

[sdp]

Ryse is a system seller for me, I'd buy a Kinect if they can pull it off, that is exactly what I've wanted since the Wii was announced. I'm an active person and I like to move around, I just wish Kinect had a controller as well since some stuff just can't be done from a still position, moving/changing weapons etc and those would be better with an analog stick/buttons. Other than that "meh". Also I know I'm alone but I absolutely hate the new Tomb Raider, that is not TR. Call it something else and I'll be interested, I'm glad no one was around or they would have thought I was looking at porn.

Microsoft conference sucked. So little interest in anything they showed at all.

[Cure]

Pretty much agree with that.

[Peanut]

Even Summer of Arcade looks lackluster this year. That's something I've looked forward to the last few E3's. Really disappointing.

[AquaParade]

Didn't bother watching Microsoft's show. Figured there wouldn't be anything of major interest to me. Sounds like a snooze-fest.

[愛]

Microsoft's conference was disgusting. Where are all the new IP's? Is anyone even trying anymore?

[Peanut]

Fun Labs doesn't work FYI. The avatar stuff is OK, but it's basically taking pictures and sticking them to an avatar. Pretty weak. Object scan doesn't work at ALL.

[Barkworm]

Could someone explain to me why we need Kinect for the voice recognition thing in Mass Effect 3? Is the headset not high tech enough?

I don't know if it was in the conference but Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet looked amazing. And Tomb Raider didn't look bad at least.

[ThirdMarioBro]

I actually threw up a little in my mouth during that Kinect: Star Wars game demo. Goddamn. Also, more Halo and no gameplay footage at a studio that isn't Bungie. I predict Call of Duty: Halo Edition.

That whole conference was a goddamn travesty. OMG I CAN BET ON UFC FIGHTS! Disgusting.

[Peanut]

It was hardly the worst conference ever. A travesty is certainly an overstatement, but it was AWFUL.

[ThirdMarioBro]

True.

Old Republic however looks incredible. Do Want.

[TheCanadiandrome]

damn, missed the MS press Conference, but from what i read, that's not such a bad thing

[Turo602]

damn, missed the MS press Conference, but from what i read, that's not such a bad thing

I'm speechless from Halo. Just wow.

Gears 3 and Tomb Raider look very awesome too. Can't believe we still need to finish this day and two more.

[Peanut]

You're speechless from a by-the-books cg cutscene announcement trailer?

To use a Turoterm - Wow. Just wow.

[Turo602]

You're speechless from a by-the-books cg cutscene announcement trailer?

To use a Turoterm - Wow. Just wow.

Yeah, problem?

I already know what the hell Halo games are and what to expect from them. The point that the story is continuing and what the trailer showed us is what got me excited. And the Halo Remake is also great and is what I expected.

[Cure]

Rayman is blowing me the f*ck away.

[TheCanadiandrome]

see i didn't realize that the MS press Conference aired on Spike, so that's how i missed it

[Cure]

FarCry, however, is not blowing me the f*ck away.

[Ninjinister]

So far nothing exciting out of E3 proper, to me. I mean there was Rayman Origins which I'm all about, but that was shown last year.

[Cure]

Don't worry, I'm sure someone somewhere will announce some fighting game.

Lolololz, I kid, dawg.

[Ninjinister]

Don't worry, I'm sure someone somewhere will announce some fighting game.

Lolololz, I kid, dawg.

lol I would actually approve of that.

Problem is most of the stuff at big expos, if it isn't something they already showed last year, they've already blown their load weeks in advance. We pretty much know exactly what Capcom and NRS are going to show for Tekken x Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat because they showed their hands already. The Ninja Gaiden 3 trailer was already all over the web last week. It was the same thing for like Marvel vs. Capcom 3... they showed new character trailers sometimes a month in advance, and then everyone got disappointed when the new characters to be revealed at whatever expo were the same ones (thankfully this wasn't always the case).

I'm not saying that E3s and the like never have awesome surprises. I practically exploded when Nintendo announced Epic Yarn last year. I just wish there were more of it.

Prove me wrong, E3 2011. Show me something amazing.

[Peanut]

Yeah, problem?

I already know what the hell Halo games are and what to expect from them. The point that the story is continuing and what the trailer showed us is what got me excited. And the Halo Remake is also great and is what I expected.

You can be excited without being hyperbolic about it. Speechless? Really? Come on, man.

[Turo602]

You can be excited without being hyperbolic about it. Speechless? Really? Come on, man.

Well it left me speechless. I had a long hot ****** day at school and came back to a giant surprise. Halo remake was obvious and I saw coming a mile away, but Halo 4. I assumed it will never happen or maybe next gen but this E3? And released next year for the 360? Yeah, highlight of my day. Halo is one of my top three videogame series. So it's a big deal to me. I felt the way I felt because I did. I was shaking for a bit and couldn't really say anything.

[Ninjinister]

Yeah actually there's kind of a point there. I was surprised there's a Halo 4 coming so soon and that it still stars Master Chief. But since I've never liked Halo, it was more like an arch-of-the-eyebrow and then MTFO.

Wait, did I just semi-agree with Turo? Where's my cyanide pills...?

[Peanut]

I still don't see how anyone could be THAT surprised? Bungie is gone! You thought Microsoft wouldn't IMMEDIATELY jump back into the next Halo game with them out of the picture? Why do you think ODST and Reach happened? Bungie didn't want to do Halo 4. They're gone, the dignity the franchise had is gone entirely.

And REALLY!? Microsoft isn't going to bring back the only major character in the history of their games business? Come on, guys.

Edit: You know, the more I think about it, the more it makes sense, Turo. You're around 15, right? You grew UP with Halo. I always forget how young you are, so it actually totally makes sense you'd love Halo in the way I love something like Mario. I didn't really think about it like that, but it makes total sense.

[ThirdMarioBro]

Microsoft has destroyed, burned out, or driven away every single studio they've purchased. Ensemble is still the one that pisses me off. Why? They did nothing but make money. Fu*k. Halo is probably sh*t from here on, which is sad because it's the only shooter I can play. Everything is like CoD now, and I fu*king HATE Call of Duty's style of play.

Oh, and notice nothing from Rare today? They'll be shut down before August. Good riddance, and rest in peace.

Sony's thing starts in an hour. Odd to see them starting on Monday. They already did a blow out on the NGP last week. Me thinks they wanted to get out of Nintendo's way. And let's face it. This show is Nintendo's to lose right now, because Sony is in damage control mode, Microsoft completely totally blew it, and EA/Ubi didn't back them up any.

[Ninjinister]

I didn't even know Bungie was gone. Since the series doesn't interest me I guess I never paid attention.

I would have thought Halo 4 would be on whatever the next console would be and would have someone new as the protagonist.

[ThirdMarioBro]

Microsoft is pretty much just running blind on the good graces of third parties at the moment. They're a company with no sense of vision, and I don't really know what direction they're going from here, but judging by the time spent on Kinect garbage (Seaseme Street, really?), I'd say their time as the primary core gamer destination is limited.

Decade old console gaming trends are fluctuating a lot lately.

[Peanut]

You're f*cking retarded if you think that Sesame Street game isn't a piece of god damn genius.

[The Stryker]

It's Sesame street BTW and it looked adorable.

[Cure]

Uncharted looks awesome. Resistance does not.

[AquaParade]

Peanut telling someone not to use hyperbole? Yea...

Nothing too surprising for me today, but I am definitely excited to see where Far Cry 3 ends up. For all of its nagging issues, I feel that Far Cry 2 had a lot of potential.

Still hoping to see Final Fantasy XIII Versus, The Last Guardian, and more Arkham City.

Edit: Why didn't anyone tell me there was Ninja Gaiden 3 footage up???

[Slap-Happy]

Sony just named the NGP: Playstation Vita

"Vita means life, blurring the lines between your life and gaming."

Lots of groaning at AT&T partnership.

[Peanut]

Didn't you hear!? It means LIFE! Also, hilarious that he got booed when he announced the 3G network stuff with AT&T.

[Slap-Happy]

Uncharted looks good. The "painting edges" isnt as revolutionary as they seem to be making it out to be.

EDIT: Love the hint of sarcasm in the guy's voice who says, "Thanks Chris and John, looks amazing..."

[Peanut]

Sony just f*cking stepped the portable sh*t UP! Not really with the Vita itself, but with the price. $249.99!? INSANITY!

[Slap-Happy]

Looks really good. I might have to get this, even being a 360 loyalist.

I was expecting this to be around $350-$500

[Cure]

Man, the hand held race is on.

[deadpoolRKO]

definantly a great price tag.


That tekken X Stret fighter looked nice

[Ninjinister]

Cole MacGrath in Street Fighter X Tekken. Now see, this is the s**t I was talking about. Now I've never played Infamous, so I can't say I'm excited, but seriously, nobody saw that coming at all.

Thank you Sony/Capcom/E3.

[ThirdMarioBro]

FINALLY. We have a bloodbath brewing. PSP was flawed as sh*t, but Vita is rock solid in every way. Only problem was the potential price. Slam dunk, Sony.

Expect Nintendo to drop to $199 in the morning and announce all those games they always consider holding back at the last second.

PlayStation Vita, Day-Freaking-One purchase.

[Peanut]

Biggest problem with the Vita is still going to be the games. Nintendo knows how to make portable games, Sony doesn't. Making a smaller, less visually impressive version of the same game you can play at home isn't the way to do it at all. If they can overcome that huge obstacle, which is most definitely the one that held back the PSP, they have a shot. If they fall into that same hole, the Vita is just going to be the PSP2.

[sdp]

Vita is not going to do very well. I don't understand the praise for the price either, $250 is too much any higher price than that and it would have been laughed at. I think people are just happy with the price because its technically superior to the 3DS that has the same price tag but that doesn't mean its a viable price. Sony is repeating the same mistakes from the PSP but unlike last time its not just Nintendo but smartphones its competing against. And guess what, the target audience is going to buy a smartphone for the same price instead of the Vita. What I especially fear about Vita is the battery life, especially since it wasn't even mentioned.

Nintendo is still in a better position, first of all their target audience is younger and the parents are not going to buy them smartphones. Second Nintendo has much stronger first party offerings and system sellers that will be coming to the 3DS, hell even if they had none and only had Pokemon would guarantee the success of the system. Nintendo is also making a profit from the 3DS and because of it it'll be easier to drop the price unlike Sony which I'm sure they only went with that price so try to cut-off Nintendo, they won't be able to cut price too much since I'm sure they're taking a loss already on it.

[Peanut]

Everyone expected the Vita to be priced well over the 3DS, but they went ahead and priced it competitively, that's why people are praising the price. No one would have laughed at a higher price, because it's what most people expected, but they certainly would have scoffed. Is it still too much at $250? Probably, but at least it's competitive and not an astronomically ridiculous sum.

If it's $350-$400, I'm not buying. At $250 I'm willing to bite the bullet for a shiny new piece of hardware that'll at the very least end up having a few decent games. I'll just cut back to half a dozen games a month when it drops.

[Ninjinister]

I've got a PSP and a DS and love both so I'm willing to eventually get a 3DS and a Vita. We still don't have a bunch of solid game commitments from either but at this point, it's looking like anybody's war. The 3DS comparatively flopped out the gate (it's already going for reduced price in some places) and so you can't just say that Nintendo is "obviously winning" this one.

[Powder]

Just a quick question, pardon the ignorance- The Nintendo portion won't be on TV anywhere will it?
I know I can tune in on http://www.e3.nintendo.com/ but on the tube would be better.

[ThirdMarioBro]

To be fair, Sony's wasn't either. Microsoft buys that airtime on Spike.

[sdp]

I'm pretty sure G4 will be airing the Nintendo conference and they aired the Sony one, they have the exclusive for those two while Spike got the exclusive for the Microsoft one, so no, Microsoft did not buy the air time. G4 will air the Microsoft one tomorrow/today, but Spike had the exclusive to air it live.

[Barkworm]

Oh my god, Rayman looks so amazing, I'm at a loss of words. Please make this a full retail title!

[Peanut]

It is full retail, bro!

[Sergio517]

Halo CE: Anniversary!
Halo 4!!!
Assassin's Creed: Revelations is sounding and looking awesome.
Gears of War 3 is still looking epic. Glad to see some gameplay.
Tomb Raider's gameplay video looks very awesome. The survival horror aspect should be interesting.

Microsoft blew me away right there. HCEA was heavily rumored for a while now, but now it is official and I'm pleased to hear that the changes to the campaign are just cosmetic and added story elements. Thank God they are not messing with the game's pacing and physics. Multiplayer changes are welcomed, too bad there won't be online for those who love playing online. Bad move IMO.

Halo 4 is a dream come true so far. I was actually thinking it would be a launch game for the next Xbox but I guess 360 it is. Trailer really has me excited and I can't wait to see some gameplay.

Not really impressed with anything from Sony. I do like the direction the Vita is going in. Maybe now I'll buy a Sony handheld. The name is stupid, but not really a reason to not own one. I'm really hoping that Nintendo and Sony come strong with awesome games for their handhelds.

Hopefully Nintendo has a great E3 later.

Still waiting on a Splinter Cell/Rainbow 6 announcement.

[BAXTER STOCKMAN 19]

damn, missed the MS press Conference, but from what i read, that's not such a bad thing

i saw it it was awful it was : kinect kinect kinect kinect kinect


kinect only Halo 4 and Gears of war 3 were the only hard core titles ms show.

[Sergio517]

I hate Kinect so much. Motion gaming without any sort of controller to supplement it is just boring and idiotic. Makes it hard to make a hardcore Kinect game unless it was some mature rated franchise on god awful rails. Even then it still wouldn't be hardcore enough.

Gotta admit, this hits the nail on the head for me. PS Vita is damn impressive from a tech perspective and I'm interested in trying out Kojima's "Transfarring" experiment, but for the most part I want an experience fresh to the psp - not downgraded blockbusters.

At the same time, I have a hard time imagining what type of games I WOULD like to play on a ps vita, besides the ones I...um..."Transfar". Guess thats the developers job to figure out though ;]

[Barkworm]

It is full retail, bro!
F*cking awesome. I'm usually not the biggest fan of Ancel's work but I immensely respect the guy. Making a game like this a retail title requires some balls.

[愛]

Awwwwww yeah! I thought I was gonna miss Nintendo's conference, but I just made it in time! Who's ready for amazing Nintendo news that wasn't leaked because they know what they're doing!?

[Powder]

I am! Set my alarm and everything!

[Barkworm]

I've got a sh*tload of exams to correct but guess what I'm doing? lol

[ThirdMarioBro]

Luigis Freaking Mansion!!!!!!!!!

[Powder]

Hell yes to the new Smash Brother confirmation.

[ThirdMarioBro]

TWO new Smash Bros. Games. I just had a baby.

[愛]

Throughout the entire WiiU presentation, I just had one thing to say: "WHAT?" I just can't believe it. I...I have no words!

[sdp]

A bit disappointed that we didn't see anything for the Wii, I mean Wii U still has another E3 before it launches so I think we saw more than enough, Its also too early to tell about graphics, remember when the 360 was called the Xbox 1.5 since titles were just slight upgrades. On the other hand the Wii has another year of life and we saw no new announcements so I'm guessing now new big games though I'm sure we'll see smaller titles in E3 like Kirby and whatnot, but that means no Pikmin/Starfox/F-Zero etc but I guess that means they are getting those ready for Wii U. Oh and I always liked the Wii name, the Wii U is pretty stupid however, I would have taken Super Wii.

My favorite announcement was Four Swords for DSiware, Four Sword is a classic fun game that virtually almost no one has played.

[ThirdMarioBro]

The Wii died last Christmas. Nintendo is going to have to ride on the 3DS this year, hence all those games coming out between now and Christmas.

They just boned Xbox hard.

[Duke]

Luigis Freaking Mansion!!!!!!!!!This sequel was long overdue. The original remained one of my favorite gamecube games through the entire life of the console. It was just so charming in it's own way. Now maybe someday we'll finally get that Paper Luigi game.

[LeoNerdo]

Yeah I'm bummed there was nothing in the presentation for Wii. Skyward Swords looks like it will be the Wii's last gasp.

On the other hand, everything on 3DS looks cool. I always get excited about Mario titles, and also LUIGI'S MANSION 2?!?!

[Powder]

I'll admit I'm a little underwhelmed overall, but with the few things that interest me, I'm very happy. The WiiU seems cool I guess, though I'm kind of unsure of how I'll take to the new control...

New games from LOZ, Mario, Kirby, Smash Bros, Ninja Gaiden... All I need is another pokemon & I'm content for the next year or so.

Seems like I'll finally have a reason to get a 3DS this year though, or at least once they send out the second version. As always I'm sure there will be a better one in the near future.

I'm super excited about The Legend Of Zelda 25th. Ann. Symphony Tour though, I'm a HUGE LOZ fan, and Video Games Live's Zelda piece was such a tease, I need this full concert in my life, haha. The CD will be rad too.

[sdp]

Its been confirmed that the third party game footage was from 360/PS3 and that the Wii U versions will be the best looking version and those are the only third party games shown because the system is more than a year away. The console looks ugly, a fat Wii.

[Barkworm]

I'd love to know how much one of the Wii U controllers is going to cost. Because that thing doesn't look cheap. It also looks cool but on the other hand I find it hilarious that Nintendo has just showcased a new system that seems to be about as powerful as the PS3 and the 360. You know, systems that are more than five years old.

Yea, I was wondering about the controller price too. Seems Nintendo may be stepping away from that "game with your friends" vibe they've had going for a while, and are moving into more concentration on online play and single player. I mean they can't expect people to buy four of those to play Mario Party with a full group right?

It is a little funny that they are releasing a console with similar specs to five year old ones, but at the same time it doesn't seem like much of a crime considering the average generation lifespan is increasing.

[Powder]

Does anyone know when the rest of the presentation will take place?

EDIT: I'm SO EXCITED for this.

jQVODSqeW3s

[sdp]

Its a Tech demo, the real game will most likely look much better than that, not come out for a few years and probably will look nothing like Twilight Princess which is what the Tech Demo is using.

There is no more presentations, there will be a roundtable later and Nintendo will reveal their online plans. Also IBM mentioned a little about the power of the system, http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/07/ibm-puts-watsons-brains-in-nintendo-wii-u/ I think Wii U will probably be able to get (downgraded)ports from PS4/720 games. Which would be nice, thats what killed Wii third party support more than anything.

[TheCanadiandrome]

ok, so comin out of what i saw for E3 today and yesterday;

I want freakin Uncharted 3 & Resistance 3!
I want a Playstation Vita!
I want to buy a Nintendo 3DS!
I want Halo 4!
I want more info on Wii U

[Peanut]

Luigi's Mansion and Super Mario(tail) were the two things that I really got excited about. Saying a new Smash Bros is coming is neat, but unless I see it I can't really get excited about it.

Don't know what to think about the Wii U (except that the name is stupid) yet. The stuff they showed at the beginning about augmenting games using the controller immediately put me off. Just kinda waiting for some specs on the thing to get out. Did Nintendo just pull themselves into the current-gen when there are games out there starting to look significantly better than the consoles offer, or is there enough power to the thing to make something like The Witcher 2 look as amazing as it does on PC?

No idea what to think. Disappointed they announced/showed off a new console without actually showing us a Nintendo game, though.

[Turo602]

Thank you Nintendo for everything they had to offer and thank you Capcom for Resident Evil Revelations and Dead Rising Off the Record.

[oldmanwinters]

Does anyone know when the rest of the presentation will take place?

EDIT: I'm SO EXCITED for this.

jQVODSqeW3s

I remember when my Dreamcast used to let me view private in-game data on my VMU. But I'll confess, the Wii U does look a little more impressive.:P

i have to agree with u on that

[The Stryker]

thank you Capcom for Dead Rising Off the Record.

Oh yeah. Thanks for releasing the same exact game but with a different character and charging 40 bucks for it.

Capcom is so awesome.

[Brodie]

Oh yeah. Thanks for releasing the same exact game but with a different character and charging 40 bucks for it.

Capcom is so awesome.

i have to agree with u on that

[AquaParade]

If that Zelda tech demo isn't a bluff, gets an official announcement, and is available by sometime in 2013, Nintendo can count me in for an early purchase.

Throw in a good Metroid game, and the expected Mario Galaxy successor, and this thing will get as much attention as my ps3.

[Turo602]

Oh yeah. Thanks for releasing the same exact game but with a different character and charging 40 bucks for it.

Capcom is so awesome.

Then that just means it was smart of me to not spend a full 60 dollars on the second one. This version doesn't bother me one bit.

[Ninjinister]

Did any of you wankers actually see the Off the Record trailers? There's a lot different from DR2. It's not just a character change.

[Storm Eagle]

So the new Nintendo system will be called the Wii U. I'll have to agree that it's not the best name in the world, but of course, as long as it has games that I'd want, I won't mind having one. Though I must say, that controller is a behemoth. The lack of backwards compatibility for GameCube games isn't really a problem for me though, since I still have my GameCube hooked up, and that's all because I have a Game Boy Player.

I have to admit though, that I'm a bit concerned about Nintendo jumping right into the next generation before their competitors. I think this is more or less a first for them. They usually wait for their competitors to make the first move, and then put out a new system later that's somewhat of an improvement over its predecessor(s). They might end up pushing back the release of the Wii U from 2012, and I think I'd actually be okay with that.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is now being pushed towards a holiday release for this year. Fine with me. The less I punish my wallet, the better. Though I hope it doesn't get pushed back farther than that, or just saved for a Wii U release.

So, one of the big surprises for the 25th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda is a free soundtrack CD that I can only get by registering a copy of Ocarina of Time 3D, but I can just pass on that. I've already imported the Ocarina of Time (N64 of course) soundtrack from Japan, and it's a complete soundtrack, which I'm concerned the free one probably won't be. Plus I still don't have a 3DS, nor do I see myself having one any time this year. Though I am interested in that CD based on the Zelda 25th Anniversary symphony concerts which was said to be released in conjunction with Skyward Sword. At least I've got the system to play that (I think, I hope).

[Sergio517]

Oh yeah. Thanks for releasing the same exact game but with a different character and charging 40 bucks for it.

Capcom is so awesome.

That would be stupid. Thankfully, it's not the same game with a different character. Capcom has stated that it's a new game with the same characters Chuck meets, but a different story and experience. Think I read it in Xbox Magazine.

[Jester]

Why would it be stupid to release a slightly tweaked game if people will still buy it? If you could take an existing game, change it cosmetically (not saying that's what they did) saving you tons of work, and sell it, seems like something a business would do for a quick buck.

[ThirdMarioBro]

I'm stoked. Mario 3D + Tanooki Suit, Skyward looks amazing, Star Fox 64 is bringing a reboot to a franchise in desperate need, Mario Kart's tracks were designed by Retro Studios, NGP/Vita looks fu*king incredible, Nintendo is getting Tekken, TWO Smash Bros. probably to be teased at TGS at least, Sonic Generations is incredible, Nintendo wow'd the shooter crowd the day after Microsoft pissed them off, and there's too many fighters around for me to play. It's like all my favorite genres are getting the love.

I'm happy. Haven't been this happy about an E3 in years.

The console looks ugly, a fat Wii.

The first 360 model was fugly too. And you're an idiot.

[Ninjinister]

I'll wait to see something concrete (screens/gameplay) before I actually make my move, but Smash Bros. on 3DS and Wii U has me wanting to go out and buy both as soon as possible. Brawl is still my favorite game and I am hoping to high heaven that these new ones don't disappoint.

[Sergio517]

How is it not stupid? Many gamers will feel like it's a rip off to buy the same game they already own just to play as a new character. Even for $40, that's insane. That can be fixed easily by releasing the new playable character as DLC. A business releasing the same game with little effort in making it stand out is cheap IMO. Not really good business, even for a quick buck. Will it sell? Maybe. Might be a success. From a consumer standpoint, it's not ideal. If you buy a car at a dealer and then that dealer later releases that same car with better wheels for example, will you buy the newer one too just for the cosmetic look, or will you just buy the new tires (if you really wanted them)?

However, thankfully Off the Record is a new game altogether taking place in the same locale as the original DR2. New areas are available and the story will be different. It's been stated that Frank will not be doing the same missions Chuck did.

How is it not stupid? Many gamers will feel like it's a rip off to buy the same game they already own just to play as a new character. Even for $40, that's insane.

You say that, but there are people who buy Madden games every year and the only major difference is a roster change. Some gamers will buy it because of the franchise, regardless of how little change there is. (Again, I'm not saying that's the case here, but it's not that stupid.)

Well that I agree with. Madden games offer more in each game than what is originally being discussed, which is a character change for the same game being released. Doesn't each new Madden have a theme every year? I don't play them, but I ask because the same may hold true for SmackDown vs RAW games. Those I do buy and every year it seems like the same thing with minor changes, aside from a roster that tries to reflect the current one more accurately and the inclusion of different legends. I think the changes are enough to warrant a new game, but I personally don't like to spend $60 on the next game just for minor tweaks. I rather wait for good price drops, incentives, or deals.

But in the case of releasing a new game with a change that can be done via DLC is stupid. It's not stupid, for instance, if the change is just to attract a bigger audience. That way, for those who never bought either copy, will have a choice of which one to buy if they decide to. For current owners, it's an annoyance. DLC would better suit the issue.

And DLC wouldn't work in these games that only require roster tweaks? Why do there need to be new yearly Smack Down Vs. Raw games, when they could just offer new characters as DLC?
I had a friend who had SDVs.R 06...I think... and he finally decided that he'd get 07, because the price point was good for him. There were some differences in the roster and the customizability of the characters, but that's it. Heck, the menu music was the exact same set of songs...I know because it invaded my my psyche as I tried to create my own characters.

Luckily this year they've completely revamped The WWE Franchise. A new game engine has been needed in that series for yeeeeeeeears.

To an extent DLC is enough for roster tweaks. But then think about how many Gigs of space you'd need to give every one new attires or character models who require new changes like tattoos, hair styles, entrance changes, music changes, new arenas, a different season mode, etc. This is why a new game is welcomed. There's enough new content to warrant a new game. Speaking of '06 to '07, changes were nothing compared to what came in '08. '09 seemed like a beefed up '08. '10 felt like a better game because now you had a better engine and new additions like highlight reel which is like forge in Halo. '11 felt a lot like '10 but again it had worthy changes. For gamers who've followed the franchise, we like to complain because it all feels so similar. Maybe the problem is that we shouldn't get these games every year, if not, every 1 1/2 - 2 years. We get spoiled yearly and complain a lot.

I want Skyward Sword pretty badly now. I HATED the two DS Zelda games, and was of the opinion that the series was on a permanent downward slide. Seems Shiggy thought so too as he threatened to pull the plug on the franchise if Skyward Sword didn't deliver. It seems to share a lot visually with Link's Awakening, and I love the flight themes being worked in. Looks brilliant.

This. If Skyward Sword doesn't come packed with a motion+, I'm not buying it.

[sdp]

There's the golden controller bundle but outside of that its not going to come packed in. I wasn't excited about Zelda last year for various reasons but after seeing it this year I am finally very hyped about the new Zelda. My only gripe is I wish Link looked younger, he is meant to be a kid, OOT was the exception in that he time traveled. If you must make him older at least make him look 14.

About the Tanooki suit, I'm not upset that it doesn't fly, the flying tail is more iconic for the raccoon suit, however I do want Mario to be able to turn into a stone statue, what made the Tanooki suit unique. Super Mario Tail, looks awesome to me, they mentioned at the roundtable how its meant to be like Mario 64 and that is simply awesome to me. From what we've seen it looks more like Galaxy re-skinned with SMB3, which isn't like Mario 64 but oh well that still awesome.

The game I'm most excited about E3 is actually Four Swords, such a fun game and now I'll finally be able to play it again with 4 friends, something I was only able to accomplish once before.

I won't deny the fact that you're probably right. I really wish I had a say in the matter, but when it comes down to it, I really don't.

Anyways, I'm trying to dig through all the E3 stuff to come up with a list of my now most anticipated games, since that's usually what we do at this point, but my head is still kinda spinning. Luigi's Mansion 2! GOD! We were talking about that very thing probably less than a month ago and there it is! And not just a remake/port, but a full-fledged sequel. The only thing at E3 to give me chills. Kinda f*cking crazy, right?

[Sergio517]

For anyone salivating at the mouth for Luigi's Mansion 2 (myself included), it's slated for a 2012 release date. Nintendo published games don't normally come with an exact release date because Nintendo likes to release their games when they feel done and ready, not when the deadline to a predetermined date arrives. Skyward Sword doesn't have an official date either but it looks to be sometime this fall. My guess is in December for some reason.

[ThirdMarioBro]

Can't believe it, but I want Battlefield. Partly, just to screw Call of Duty, but those tank battles look awesome. Halo remake looks fun, but that franchise is fu*ked in the hands of an internal Microsoft studio. The suits will trash it, like they do everything at that place.

I know, right? Luigi's Mansion was one of the most underrated Nintendo games of all time. Of all the things to finally get a freaking sequel in this age of Nintendogs and sh*t. I just sh*t a brick when that familiar old lady/man voice started yelling.

Sounds very biased and uninformed. This remake is using the same source code as the original. Nothing is changing aside from graphics and added easter eggs. I heard there will be more added story elements, whether that means cutscenes that explain the story better or just terminals that hint at things in halo 4 is anyone's guess. Other than that, the game is the same with updated visuals. This isn't 343's original Halo game. Halo 4 will be. Also, how do they trash everything?

I think Nintendo needs time to recover from Other M, though I can imagine there's a 3DS game in the works that's another Prime style game.

You're fine. You're not touting what you're saying as fact, moreso as queries, or an outsider perspective.

Specifically the points you raised about the Dead Rising 2 re-release are valid; it ISN'T stupid for a developer to re-release essentially the same game, with a new skin, if idiots will buy it. What IS stupid is that idiots will buy it.

And you even stated "Not saying its what they're doing, but why would it be stupid for a company to do so?" You didn't brazenly state your perspective should be fact or that it was.

(FYI, I'm aware of the differences presented about the Frank version ofDR2, and regardless of whatever they "Added," I'm not ready for anymore DR.)

I'm reading a lot of exciting news in this thread!

I have no access to a Wii so it looks as if I'll be missing out on some good upcoming games!

I will probably end up getting the rebooted version of Halo. It's been a long time since I've played the original and it would be nice to see it all spiffed up. I no longer have an Xbox (original) so i traded the game long ago.

Halo 4... I'm on the fence about. I think I'll always be a little excited when I see an upcoming game as I am such a fan, but I can't lie and say I think without a doubt that it will be awesome. I may pick it up after a price drop out of curiosity to see what Microsoft has done with it.

Now I haven't played any of the newer Metroid games but from what I've about them (especially Other M) they need to just let things be. I'm glad they did not announce something new.

off topic but in the same vein: I'm still waiting for some sort of news on Diablo 3. seems like that game has been in production forever now. it's one of the few PC games I enjoy and I'm hoping it'll come out before my new computer is outdated. :lol:

It's BC with Wii games, but not Gamecube games. Also, where the controller stuff is concerned...it's worrying for a number of reasons, but whatever.

Halo 4 has the potential to be a truly unique Halo experience. The Chief could be anywhere, so having him be in some insane other universe with no Covenant, no human beings, no standard Halo weaponry etc etc could be totally awesome if that's the direction they go in.

[ThirdMarioBro]

They should just drop the quality of the video feeds to 480p in multiplayer. That's more than enough for a 6 inch screen, then feed it to four controllers.

I doubt that'll stick. It's a prototype. They'll probably get the controller count up. Besides, it'll still compatible with classic controllers, so multiplayer will be fine.

[Ninjinister]

It really doesn't make any sense to restrict the new controller to just one player, even if games don't necessarily require everyone to have the screen. It's just something new and boss and part of the innovation they're completely selling this thing on.

Plus it would suck to go elsewhere and be the one stuck on the controller without the screen in multiplayer. It'd be like going to your friend's house for a snack; he opens up the ice cream for himself, and you get a dick in the mouth. Unless that sort of thing's your bag, you're not going to be too happy.

Cute. Still don't see your reasoning grandpa. I have no idea what the hell you're talking about anyway. What **** did I pull on TMB? I was out of line for making conversation with him? I wasn't ******** on anything and simply looking for his response. It's called making conversation. I found what he said worth conversation, so instead of his reply, I got something very meaningful and insightful from you.

And what exactly do you add of interest to this section? Not a damn thing. All you do is rip on anyone who isn't in your club or been here for years. I'm not hurting, pissing on, or **** talking to anyone, yet here you are bringing your pain and frustration to me. Every little stupid insignificant thing sets you off. Not really my problem son.

@Brodie, I get what side you're on, but I don't understand your logic. You quoted Stryker regarding the Dead Rising 2 topic and said this:

i have to agree with u on that

Look back a few pages and refresh yourself on what that was a response to. OBVIOUSLY, you thought it was a stupid idea. Now, because your friend is on my case, you HAVE to contradict yourself. Now it's suddenly not stupid to release the same game with a new character. I seriously doubt you ever knew the differences between DR2 and DR2 Off the Record. You give Jester props for his point on a developer's view, yet I get squat from a consumer's view. Something we all are, and something you obviously agreed with before.

@Jester, I don't care how comfortable you feel regarding video games in general. It was a pleasure talking to you about it and seeing your views. Don't let these guys speak for me as I was never acting like I was right in what was a conversation of opinions. These guys don't know with what I agree with regarding your thoughts and they don't know what I disagree with. I actually felt normal for a change chatting with you as it wasn't a petty argument or string of insults. You're always welcomed to talk games with me.

For the record, I still think the DR2 re-release is a stupid ****ing idea. I agreed with Jester's views from a developer stand point. As a consumer? Its a ****ing stupid idea, and an even dumber one to buy it. It has nothing to do with that my "pals" think.

Well I've actually worked around the person and spoken to it a couple of times and I'm still not sure but hey, without people like you The Crying Game wouldn't have happened.

People please understand that I'm not disappointed in no new Metroid. I hate that series and I want it dead.

May I ask why you want the Metroid series dead? If you don't like the direction the series has taken, then I can certainly agree with you there. It needs a reboot or something...I don't even know.

That was a personal opinion. Metroid is lame. Public opinion does not reflect my own and is what's kept it alive.

Has anyone seen the videos for X-Men Destiny? I was interested in it since it is being developed by Silicon Knights but it looks embarrassingly bad. The gameplay seems to be primitive hack and slash and the graphics could have been realized on PS2 hardware.

That's why it's a franchise that's been around for 25 years, right?

When you've got a gap of almost 10 years between Super Metroid and Fusion/Prime, it's hard to call it a franchise that's been around for 25 years. I don't think the fact that they got a decent hit with Prime, then shat out derivative sequels and bad spin-offs for 5 years before bombing with the awful Other M constitutes it as a healthy 25 year old franchise. The unfortunate truth of the matter is that Shadow Complex and Symphony of the Night were the best Metroid games ever made, which Metroid fans still refuse to believe.

Not even that I haven't enjoyed a Metroid. I like Zero Mission a lot and Super Metroid has moments before it just starts kinda sucking, but beyond that I kind of couldn't care less. I don't think the series should die, but I do think they need to reevaluate what they're going to do with it. Clearly the hybrid style of Other M didn't work and their series gameplay reboot with Prime did well, but quickly died out. I think the only really direction is in a full-HD sidescrolling classic Metroid game, but even at that point it's kinda been done.

[愛]

You do bring some valid points, and I agree that Symphony of the Night was pretty much the pinnacle of side-scrolling exploration gaming. Do you possibly believe the problem with Metroid these days is too many games in too short of time? Many years ago there were YEARS between each game, and it gave a sort of happy anticipation for each installment. I kinda enjoy that long wait, as it gives me time to play other games while hyping up for the next upcoming game. With the Prime series milked to death in many iterations, it seemed to stagnate the Metroid series as a whole.

I also feel Nintendo needs to take a step back and look at where they've come, and what sort of things need to be done in order to bring it back from the dead. An HD 2D experience would certainly be helpful, as graphics are rarely an issue for anyone who truly respects the ideas of the developers of a franchise they love. I feel that way, anyway...

[Duke]

Halo 4 has the potential to be a truly unique Halo experience. The Chief could be anywhere, so having him be in some insane other universe with no Covenant, no human beings, no standard Halo weaponry etc etc could be totally awesome if that's the direction they go in.I agree with this completely. Unfortunately with Microsoft I don't think that potential will be realized.

[XERO]

Honestly, I could never really get into a Metroid game, not even Super Metroid. I mean, I watched my friends play it lots of times and enjoyed that, but that's about it.

I never played the Primes cuz I'm just not a big FPSer. :\

[ThirdMarioBro]

Metroid needs an HD update, but it also needs to move forward. Metroid Fusion took the franchise in a new direction story wise, altering Samus's DNA, blowing up her ship, making Adam her computer, and turning the whole Federation against her. Lots of cool story-telling/gameplay possibilities there. I'd like to see them move forward, preferably in 2D and HD. They keep telling filler stories in the past to keep Samus in her familiar apparel so that the old-school Nintendo player will go, "Aw yeah, Metroid. I know 'dat sh*t. Gonna' shoot some Mother Brain!" and play it.

They need to move forward and stop spinning in place. One other thing - it's kind of assumed that Metroid & F-Zero take place in the same continuance. I'd love to see them cross those two over, even if it's just a little cameo.

Oh, and Metroid Prime: Hunters was a pile of garbage. Hated every single minute of it.

[Peanut]

But Prime is a FPA! It's got lock-on and scanning! RAAAAAAAWR!

Also, I've been waiting to see this (http://www.gametrailers.com/video/e3-2011-wii-u/715717?type=flv) Wii U demo specifically. Dude told me exactly what I wanted to hear in terms of exactly what Wii U is capable of. Looks f*cking fantastic.

[ThirdMarioBro]

Absolutely awesome. I love that there's not a damn thing on the screen except the game. All the HUD is on the controller. It's like the best elements of the DS brought to a console. That hardware looks BEAST.

[Cure]

I am pretty happy with all the negativity the Wii U is getting, personally I think its awesome but remember the very well received 3DS in last years E3 gave us the 250 launch price and lackluster title selection, this was confirmed by Nintendo that it was decided thanks to being so well received at E3. So all the complaining will hopefully get Nintendo in their right place, maybe we'll even get a name change. I'm confident the launch will be great and they have a year to get ready, counting there is no Wii games coming up I think we'll see plenty of games ready for Wii U, the disappointing 3DS sales hopefully means a price of $300-350, they fix the one tablet controller which I'm guessing it shouldn't be hard for games that only use it as a menu system or something like Pacman VS and not actually streaming the main game to four tablet controllers, that I can see not being possible. I buy Nintendo consoles for first party games, so any third party games are really the icing on the cake, I'd prefer to only have one current gen console but whatever, no third party hasn't stopped me from getting Nintendo consoles before.

I'm sold on the 3DS, I thought I'd wait until either Animal Crossing/mainline Pokemon/Advance Wars came out but Super Mario, Paper Mario, Luigis Mansion all look awesome. I can wait until after the holidays so maybe I'll get a price cut, I can't see the 3DS lasting at 250 for too long after the holidays.

I'm also excited for the Wii, not much coming out but the four player Kirby game looks fun as hell, you know the console is on its last legs when a mainline kirby game is coming out for it, but they are always awesome. Skyward Sword which I had no interest before this E3 also looks like an amazing last hoorah. Mario Party 9 will be fun for what it is and of course 2012 is going to give us Dragon Quest X which is another huge game. Only disappointed NOA decided to not localize Xenoblade and Last Story, finished games that were praised and they aren't coming to the US with the lack of great titles the Wii has? boggles my mind but Nintendo will be Nintendo.


Random non-nintendo thoughts:
Is it bad that the game I'm most excited about for PS3 is the HD collection of Ico/SotC?

Microsoft impresses with full comeback for Rare E3 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012? I realize Rare is dead forever as none of the original teams are left and all that is left is the IPs anyway

So tired of all the shooters, Tomb Raider looks terrible to me, Surprised Ubisoft hasn't ruined Assasins Creed yet and very much looking forward to the new one.

A little, because Uncharted 3 looks great, but after that the Ico/SotC HD collection is easily next on the list.

That's really a matter of opinion, I guess, but I certainly think they're going to start getting perilously close to ruining the entire series for everyone. There are people who played a lot of 1 and 2 already burnt out the entire thing, as so little of the core gameplay has changed at all, 3 games in 3 years is overkill. I still don't understand how they got away with Brotherhood, but I also don't understand how people still give a sh*t about modern military shooters, so I'm probably not the best judge of why stupid people buy the things they do.

[AquaParade]

BTW, stop making yourself sound like an old ass man calling everyone kids. You look moronic saying that with an avatar like that and a title like PKMN Breeder. It's time to grow up.

Well said, Sergio.

Lot's of great stuff this E3. Some of the best Playstation 2 titles coming to ps3, Wii U definitely has my interest as well, but I'm a little saddened at the lack of info on three Japanese developed title's I was dearly looking forward to. The Last Guardian, Metal Gear Rising, and FF Versus were nowhere to be seen.

Much like Demon's SOuls, it'll be enjoyed by a certain group of people, but a lot of people probably won't be able to enjoy it because of it's difficulty.

I'll dig it, most likely, especially if they do what they mentioned with the multiplayer actually being -multiplayer-.

I'm actually sick of all these CoD games and carbon copy military games. It sucks that campaigns suffer for online multiplayer. I personally find it a waste of time to spend all year playing online until the next game hits. I do enjoy Halo and Gears of War simply for the co op and campaign experience. Online I'll mess with AFTER I beat the game. However, I lose interest fairly quick.

Movie, book or actual game. So really it applies to anything in those categories. Titles aren't just for movies... Given I haven't seen or heard of such a boring movie, it wouldn't lead me to think movie right away. And because this is stupid and non E3 related, I'm not going to bother wasting time googling The Crying Game. It's just not worth it. Loving the cute pics with text too. It's not old at all. Great contributions.

Definitely. Microsoft's biggest E3 news for me was Halo Anniversary (even though the rumors were old), Halo 4, and seeing Gears 3 gameplay. Everything else revolved around Kinect, which is lame. PS3, had Vita and that was it. Nothing else was important. Nintendo had the biggest impact for me with their continued innovation.

Also, alsoalsoalsoalso you guys take s**t WAY too seriously. I used to get defensive about everything these guys said because nothing seemed like a joke at all, ever, or everything just made them seem like a bunch of soulless asses. But now I don't care.

No I'm not fussed by it. What's annoying is when you're dealing with 1 person, and then it becomes a 4 vs 1 conversation of stupidity. In this topic alone, I wanted to know more about what TMB was saying. Someone else decided to speak for him and assume my motives. Really there was no need for such a confrontational post. I'm not new to the internet or forums in general. I do let a lot roll off my back. As you've noticed, I'm not banned because I don't go off cursing and acting like I'm fighting a war ( like TMNT 25 Years was his name?). However, if someone calls me out, I'll say something back. I'm not one to back down and get sh*t on. You can't expect every new member to know EVERYONE's style of posting or their personalities. I guarantee if I did the same to these guys, they'll feel compelled to talk sh*t back. If I enter a Pokemon topic and trash someone's love for it, you bet I'll hear something in return. Will those guys learn to let it roll off their back or assume I'm joking? Nope.

People in real life situations have little decency...I don't know why you think they would have more on the internet.

The internet is the one place you can go and be a total ass and not feel badly about it. You don't ever have to speak or deal with these people in real life so you can feel free to unload.

Which is why they created the block feature. Wouldn't it be nice to just block miserable people in real life? Hell yes.

Would it be nice for some decency? Sure! Will you get it on the internet? probably not the best place to look.

Except that this is a forum that can attract children and has rules to follow. When someone in real life is being a dick you can do something about it. On the internet its just really aggravating. If this sh*t happens in real life then why the hell do you want to have it on the internet? A forum is for people to socialize and to express themselves. Who the hell wants to get their thoughts and opinions sh*tted all over if this is the place to put them. No one here is mature enough to correct someone or respect someone's opinions and that's just sad. Especially when they play the age card. Blocking someone solves nothing. Its just like ignoring someone in real life and just taking whatever they throw at you. Sometimes you got to be a man and defend yourself and end the damn issue once and for all. Not just for your sake but for everyone else that gets mistreated. If someone breaks a law you can't just say ignore them, you got to do something about it. Same should go for when someone breaks a rule. But you know, the rules here don't apply for some people. Just like it was stated before. If I go talk sh*t, I'll get ganged up on for trying to "unload".

Don't get me wrong, I understand your point. But when we have rules to go by its a different story. We might as well not have rules at all.

I disagree....blocking solves the whole problem. If you've come in here expecting to right the wrongs of this whole forum then that's exactly why you are getting the reception you are. If you've come here to be the "hero" you are fighting a losing battle.

Being a man isn't always about flinging your testosterone around and fighting the battle. Learning to walk away when the issue cannot be solved (for whatever reason) is also a mark of being a man.

Part of being an adult is learning to take things with a grain of salt. I've disagreed with many members here and there are some I just do not like. I avoid confrontation and if it comes for me I ignore it.

You block someone....they cannot see you and you cannot see them. Thus the fighting and stupidity cannot continue. TaDa! end of problem!

....but whatever...you are going to think whatever you want...and you will continue to clash with certain members.

[Slap-Happy]

I'm not trying to be a hero.
You're right. There's nothing even to be a hero about.

I just stand up for what I believe in. Like I said before, blocking does not solve anything. Not in this situation. That's just you showing defeat and letting someone continue with their nonstop stupidity. How exactly does that solve that problem? It doesn't. Sh*t, if I don't let myself get pushed around in real life, what makes you think I will on the internet. If trouble finds me, don't expect me to just take it. Be realistic.
She is being realistic. The fact that you say "Bring it on" is gonna make some people wanna come at you even harder now.

Blocking them makes it so you don't see their "nonstop stupidity." Seems like a solved problem to me. And no matter you say about it, someone's always there to "push you around" on the Internet.

[XERO]

A forum is for people to socialize and to express themselves. Who the hell wants to get their thoughts and opinions sh*tted all over if this is the place to put them.

Right there. You forget that self-expression doesn't always yield positive results.

I say bring it.

Calm down, Dwayne. This ain't a cage match.

Off topic, but am I the only one who says "Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson" whenever he is mentioned?

Heck, I refuse to call him anything but The Rock. :D

Sorry.....the Rock just doesn't strike me as a "Dwayne"

If someone breaks a law you can't just say ignore them, you got to do something about it. Same should go for when someone breaks a rule. But you know, the rules here don't apply for some people.
It has nothing to do with the people and everything to do with the section (I've seen you and Sergio blatantly insult people in this section, too, but have either of you gotten in trouble for it?). The section moderators are the ones responsible for making and enforcing the rules of this section, so it's a different set of rules enforced by a different set of people. You can think of this like a hosted subforum. The only time I'll step in is if something illegal is posted, as any host would do. Hopefully that clears up any confusion (and conspiracy theories).

I love the VG section. I learn a lot and if you dont say anything too ignorant or offend anyone, then they dont go out of there way to attack you.

[愛]

I just don't talk to people who aren't worth my time. I have better things to do than to lose brain cells over a pointless argument that won't go anywhere, anyway.

And yes, this section of the forums is dealt with differently because if we used the rules that are enforced everywhere else, there would be no one here. Video game fans are a little more passionate about their hobby and are easily insulted by misinformation and blatant ignorance. So yes, discussion can get a little heated, but it shouldn't be something you take personally. As I've said many times, if you aren't sure about what you're saying, just ask. We won't judge you, and we'll answer your question. I've been here for over 7 years and I still ask about things I'm not sure about, or phrase my opinion with a bit of doubt in my own knowledge. It's easy.

Now, about this E3...

this is true

[Peanut]

No one here is mature enough to correct someone or respect someone's opinions and that's just sad.

If I go talk sh*t, I'll get ganged up on for trying to "unload".

F*cking again!? How many times does it need to be stated that no one here gives a SH*T about different opinions as long as they make sense, aren't contradictory and are backed up by knowledge and facts?

Do you even know how much sh*t all of us in here don't see eye to eye on? We all don't fight constantly! We all respect those opinions because they have a proper foundation that can be argued as a true matter of opinion, as opposed to almost everything written in here by the people who constantly get sh*t on.

And you get ganged up on because the things you say ARE UNINTELLIGENT! Just because you try to word it properly or act like a big mature adult doesn't make the things you're saying any less idiotic.

If it were that simple then we should let trolls be stupid and roam the forums with no problem.

And also, you won't see them but they can see you. That's how blocking works from what I've seen.

I understand your point, but this is a special situation. This isn't a constant disagreement between two people. Something really needs to be done.

So passionate gamers are easily offended jerks who can't ignore a post or just point someone in the right direction because they want to look superior then everyone else? I'm a passionate gamer and I'm not childish about someone having bad taste or giving false info. If you corrected someone and they insist on arguing with you, then I can understand why someone will talk trash.

Does it f*cken bother you that much that someone isn't as smart? Do you seriously have to be such a f*cken little girl about everything, princess? Like I said before, are you not decent enough to correct someone's mistake? Do you always got to put someone on the spot? And that's not the end of it, it can't just be you to talk trash, your little posse has to join in the on conversation with meaningless posts. Again, like I said before, if someone argues with you after pointing them in the right direction, then feel free to say what you need to. You constantly call everyone kid but yet, you act like one. I thought you were a mature adult. And yet you talk sh*t to "children" on the internet.

Oh, remember this?

The new Mario is probably NSMB3 and probably for 3DS. They showed the 3 with the SMB3 raccoon tail when they were talking about the 3DS before.

Remember how I responded? I didn't put you on the spot, I kinda went with your idea and I corrected you without calling anyone names. How is that so hard to do?

[愛]

It's pointless to even talk to you. I'd rather not destroy my brain cells having looping debates with someone as ridiculous as you. So from now on, you're dead to me.

[Candy Kappa]

I love this place.

On topic: I haven't followed E3 as much as I'd liked, but Sains Row the Third looks insane

[Turo602]

It's funny when mods suck at doing what they're supposed to because their friends are part of the problem.

You said it yourself. Just because you're a mod doesn't mean you're going to be a pussy.

[Redeemer]

Damn It must be that time of the month for everyone :lol:
I think I am going to hide for the next week:P

[Slap-Happy]

but Sains Row the Third looks insane
Did the "Initiation Station" come out yet? I heard it was up posed to come out a week after the latest Red Faction (last week), but nothing has happened yet.

[Candy Kappa]

I don't know, should be available for those who pre-ordered Red Faction: Armageddon

[Cure]

Damn It must be that time of the month for everyone :lol:

Another period joke, really? Jesus.

Thanks for keeping up with my post ;)

I am curious though how microsoft is going to treat Halo 4 and the franchise as a whole now...

[Peanut]

Oh, remember this?

Remember how I responded? I didn't put you on the spot, I kinda went with your idea and I corrected you without calling anyone names. How is that so hard to do?

LOL! One thing I said about something that was shown for 10 seconds a year ago, which was off the top of my head and was further confused by the fact that I had been playing something WITH THE LOGO IT'S BASED OFF OF that day before.

Will you hold onto that dear, precious moment for the rest of your life? That super minor moment, totally insignificant and not at ALL relatable to any of the stupidity that goes on in here. You using that small example as your way to prove you're somehow a bigger man is entirely undone just by looking at the f*cking post I made RIGHT BEFORE IT! Where did you see me name calling anyone on what is a clearly and retarded mistake? NOWHERE!

Also, I think it's pretty hilarious that I haven't had a problem with you for awhile, but because everyone jumped on your dumb ass brother, you suddenly decided to shot off on everyone, INCLUDING the f*cking site owner/operator, which probably isn't a good idea. Why he hasn't just saved everyone the headache and booted both your asses is beyond me.

And stop bringing up that my friends join in on conversations. I can't help it if Cure likes to dig everyone on absolutely every f*cking little thing without ever adding anything of worth to a conversation. It's not like I'm running off to tell everyone about the fights going on. I've fought my own battles again and again and I don't need backup. If you've got a problem with them, deal with them, don't sh*t on me because I've made friends here and the only person who thinks you're worth a damn is your f*cking brother.

Either way, I'm done with your bullsh*t whining, just like I was done with AquaParade's incomprehensible idiocy. I'm glad to add you and your brother to the ignore list.

[Cure]

Shouldn't this thread be tucked away now, anyway? E3's over and it's just devolved into Turo's soapbox moment.

[Sergio517]

I'm glad to add you and your brother to the ignore list.
Thank GOD! Now I won't have to read his idiocy and uncontrollable bursts of anger towards anything small and insignificant. Good riddance.

Shouldn't this thread be tucked away now, anyway? E3's over and it's just devolved into Turo's soapbox moment.

Yes it should, seeing as how the whole E3 conversation went to sh*t after someone's outburst. Can't have a convo without it upsetting and ruining someone's day.

[愛]

Agreed. Locking this thread.
