"The first post is utter bulls***. PS2 and XBox had one of their best shows ever. Stop trying to drag them down because Ninty had an awful show and you don't want to feel they were the only ones. "
Best shows ever? Right. I guess you weren't their for the unveiling of mgs2. Where huge crowds stood in awe. This years trailer was met with snickers. "eat or be eaten"? ha ha ha. best show ever. right. "What is this, some kind of grand theft auto?" utter crap. I don't know if you went to e3 or not, but looking at the reaction of the people looking at the mgs3trailer this was not the best e3 ever. Sure, I heard an occasional "yo dog, this game looks tight bro!". But the general reaction was one of dissapointment. In fact the only people who seemed impressed were the fanboys who snuck in, or the fanboys who work for websites. I actually heard some kid weakly say "I am in heaven" as he pranced into the gamecube booth.
"And GCN owners are by far not getting the best version of SC2...Link is justa lamo with cheap-a** moves. Not that either of the other bonus characters are any better."
First of all, this is an opinion. My opinion differs. You say link is just a lamo with cheap moves, but that the others arent that much better. Fine, whatever. At the very least the cube owners will get a charachter thats interesting to look at. PS2 owners get shafted with heihachi. Spawn is ok, but pretty redundant. How many strong goth guys can you have? Atleast link is visualy distinct in the game. If you have a choice between three lamo's with cheap ass moves, you might as well pick the most interesting one. And for your information, I"m going to be getting the ps2 version of the game. Bonus charachters are nice, but the other controllers dont work as well with the game.
"There are countless other bulls** points in your post... MGS3 is what you get when a gamedesigner has PERFECT vision of where his game is going, and MGS2 DID NOT HAVE INCEST. For God's sakes, if you're not going to play a game don't open your mouth to spout some BS that you have no clue about."
Did you not catch the dialog between otocon and his sister in MGS2? I don't care how blood related they are... otocon has a relationship with his step mother, and his step sister tells him she was in love with him.... yes in that way. "Just for once, I wanted you to look at me not as your sister, but as... a woman." Pretty sick if you ask me. But if thats what your into... I can't tell you your wrong. It might have been forgivable had it meant anything to the game. Otocons sister dying just ended up saving the gamer from having to deal with an awkward situation. Sick. Maybe its you who should play the game. And why dont you point out the countless other bull crap? Theres plenty of hyperbole, you have alot to work with.
"GT4 is one of the high points of the show, and that's saying something considering XBox and PS2's line up. The graphics are top notch and the new physocs system makes the game better than ever. You're the only person that disagrees. "
I didnt say the game sucked. Its just not that different from the other games. IT wasnt a show stopper. It looked nice... but so did gt3. There was nothing really in the game that made me want to buy it on release day. I dont have a modem, and I dont plan on getting one any time soon. And the thought of restarting the license course doesnt really appeal to me.
"By 'incest in the first game' I assume he meant MGS2 since one of my friends at school has this annoying idea that there was a lot of incest in MGS2."
I think having one of the charachters in a relationship with his step mother, and then discovering that his step sister is in love with him, would qualify as "a lot of incest." Unless you're getting some weird games noone knows about.
"And how was XBox's lineup bad? Halo 2, DOOM 3, Counter-Strike? The worst thing I see here is that they're all FPSs..."
I said that halo was one of the shows few highlights... and I dont even own an x-box. Doom 3 looked impressive... but it remains to be seen if the game is fun to play. For all we know it could just be another unreal. Nice to look at, but not much else. Counter strike is counterstrike. But I'd prefer to play it on my computer. Why should I pay for something I can get for free on my computer, and I wouldnt even have to deal with crappy console fps controls. And besides, its all about bf1942 now anyways. You happened to miss the 2nd best game of the show... which was crimson skies. It was far more interesting than doom3 and counter-strike.
"But seriously, everyone likes to think that their favourite company got the best showing. Personally, I feel PS2 had the best show. Others feel XBox got the best show, and of course others feel GCN got the best show."
Well guess what my favorite company is. I happend to be a ps2 fan. I also own a gamecube, and will probably get an xbox when halo 2 comes out next year. Actually, I've owned every major game system since the NES. And even being a ps2 fan, I'd have to say I didnt see many games that I told myself I was going to buy as soon as they were released. Each companies booths were practically the same. Sure they added screens here or their, or an odd desk or something. But if you took a picture of the booths last year, and just added 2's at the end of every title, you'd have a good idea what this years e3 was like.
On a side note... did anyone catch nintendos "show"? Wow... I think that was the worst thing I've ever seen. The giveaways were nice... but the show was horrible. They had this screen down around the center of the stage with the shadows of women dancing. Atleast Tecmo had its volleyball game as an excuse for its bikini show. What were these girls dancing for... kirby's air ride? Things are made worse by the fact that the music that they are dancing to is mixed in with yoshii sound effects. Nothing says sexy like the sound of yoshi screaming in pain. Then the screen went up to reveal about four vaguely attractive girls dressed in the standard issue booth babe outfit, two running man rejects, and a robin williams look-a-like. This was the only show during e3 that actually ellicited boo's. Mainly because they teased the audience with the shadows for about ten minutes, and then showed nothing. They kept trying to get the audience to scream, but barely got a response untill they started throwing things into the crowd.
But just so I'm not toatlly negative. Nintendo's booth workers were the most friendly in the whole show. They didnt even mind when I asked them if I could have two extra e-reader cards and pokemon posters.
