Discuss E3. To be honest, I HATE the Halo series, so I didn't care for that, Tomb Raider looks pretty good, Black Ops II looks horrible (to much going on at one time). But, I don't have a console (PS2, XBOX, WII) that can run any of these games at E3, and my computer can't either.
Halo 4 looked amazing to me. Call of duty looked okay from my point of view. Tomb Raider looked very good, and I am not a big fan of it. The small perks for Xbox looked okay but a bit gimmicky. Splinter cell looked very good, I am looking forward to it!
My first live stream E3 and it was very good to watch.
im not watching the live stream, im watching on Spike, and splinter cell looked absolutely amazing.
Halo 4 and Tomb Raider were the only interesting things at the Xbox conference. Not a big Gears of War fan so that didn't appeal to me, Kinect is the biggest load of BS ever, and I haven't had a good opinion about Black Ops 2 since the reveal trailer for it. The game play footage they showed really reinforced my opinion on how stupid its gonna be.
Not to mention they had everyone they could get up there to try to really sell Kinect and that SmartGlass BS. They seem to be forgetting that they made a gaming console. Instead of trying to make the 360 into an inconvenient smartphone(only thing its missing now is the ability to make calls. And since Microsoft owns Skype I won't be surprised if that's worked in eventually) they need to focus on making it as quick and easy as possible to really connect with friends on the 360 itself(not from my tablet, iPod touch, phone, or other device that I won't be using at the same time as my Xbox) and just making XBL better in general. But instead they want to make the Xbox do pointless stuff that phones have been doing for awhile now
At this point I think Nintendo will have a better conference than Microsoft. Hopefully they'll actually focus on gaming :/

Black Ops 2 looked like crap, the single player looks very cliche with the usual big explosions then slow mo quick time events. On the other hand, Halo 4 looked amazing, Splinter Cell Black List, and South Park looked pretty awesome and funny. Other then that the whole conference sucked as it was relying to much on "gimmicks".
Not trying to insult your opinion. But Halo is nothing like CoD. Aside from being in the FPS genre they aren't similar. At least CE, 2, 3, and Reach aren't similar to CoD. Halo 4 I REALLY hope doesn't turn out like BF3 and trying to take down CoD by becoming CoD.
All I want this year is Halo 4 to be Halo. Staying true to that franchise and not giving a damned about CoD, BF, Gears of War, Mass Effect, or any other over hyped pieces of crap(Actually.. I quite enjoyed ME2 and I haven't played Gears of War.. But CoD and BF3 are both crap :/ ).

Oh man, dat Ubisoft press conference-- absolutely stole the show. Sony and Nintendo are going to have some work to do in order to compete with that. All those video games.
You know how helpful having a screen as a mini tv to play games on is?
Annoying bro: I wanna watch tv!
Me: Ok then,
*takes tablet away and still plays*
I'm also excited about the Wii U.

Watch_Dogs completely blew me away. The graphics, the AI... just wow. I'd say Ubisoft wins so far.
So how 'bout that Sony completely ripping off Super Smash Brothers?

If it's like SSB, it's going to be fun, have different and more characters and you won't have to have a Wii to play a game like it. So, I don't see why people be complaining.

I hope Nintendo will do well this year and with the Wii U. I just haven't been having much high hopes with Nintendo lately and my family has always had Nintendo games and consoles since the beginning. I really never had any console (aside from a Sega Genesis) that wasn't Nintendo. I love the Halo series and just love playing it at my friend's house. I just hope I can get a Xbox 360 and Halo 4. I guess I am sort of losing it with Nintendo, but I believe I have been missing out on games exclusively on other consoles too.
And maybe Nintendo will be incredible. I can't say I am not excited for Nintendo's E3 conference.
Well, so far it seems that Nintendo's finally got 3rd party support back! Tons of existing titles from 3rd party developers have been ported to the Wii U including Arkham City, Mass Effect 3, Ninja Gaiden 3, and others. I guess those reports that the Unreal 3 Engine was working on the Wii U were true. This is a good thing.
Ninty's presentation turned out pretty good! Im still disappointed that they spent alot of time talking about Nintendo Land. Im really looking forward to scribblenauts unlimited, rayman legends, and new super mario bros U! And I love how they began with Pikmin 3! I still wanna heard about Animal Crossing and some new zelda in the works though, but their gonna say more stuff in the developers round table hopefully.

There are currently five games I'm really looking forward to at the moment: Halo 4, Gears of War 4, Grand Theft Auto 5, Crysis 3, and Dishonored.

Exciting news on Farcry 3 and Assassins Creed Revalations
I'm also excited about the Wii U.
Watch_Dogs completely blew me away. The graphics, the AI... just wow. I'd say Ubisoft wins so far.

It's what Sony does best.
