The absolute worst of E3 2011 in video

#94 Don’t apologise on my behalf darling. I don’t know you, and you certainly don’t fucking know me. I wouldn’t want to keep the company of such a whining, self loathing apologist such as yourself anyway.

If you are too stupid to see that the UK has sunk into the mire due mainly to our adoption of the ‘culture’ of that cesspool across the pond, then I really feel for you.

@#98

You keep saying “us” and “we” like you had anything to do with it. Or that you could even begin to sum up an entire country based on a single stereotype – theirs or ours. Furthermore, you’re being incredibly selective and very jongoistic and embarrassing the rest of us on the world stage.

So please, shut up, wise up, and in the meantime keep your opinions to yourself – because that’s all they are. What you’re saying isn’t history, it’s a press release for the blinkered past.

@#101

Ooh, getting a bit touchy are we? Suddenly you don’t sound so much like a failed whiny history undergraduate, and more like a 14 year old riding on the coat tails of our country’s mixed successes.

The “UK’s in a mire mainly because of American culture”?! Well at least you’re not blaming the darkies.

#102 That’s the problem with the UK, the general populace has had their national identity ground out of it by successive governments, so we end up with apologetic sheep being harvested for taxes, whilst the media rot the brains of the masses with reality TV and soap operas. I think it’s you who needs to wise up chap.

As for my opinion? As Voltaire said; “I detest what you write, but I would give my life to make it possible for you to continue to write”.

“The Romans settled here certainly, but they didn’t last long did they?”

Yeah, only 300 or 400 years or so. Not long at all.

Ill will break this shit up, something difference(to bad 24/7) didn’t came up with that……

#103 Blaming the darkies?! I proper lol’d.

#105 No not very long at all actually in the grand scheme of things.

@all

This has drifted somewhat off topic, following a bit of friendly banter between our cousins across the pond that got a little out of hand. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and good or bad, right or wrong, they’re still entitled to it. Not wishing to engender any further ill feeling, I think we should call it a day and get back to the topic in hand…

E3 was bloody awful this year…;)

@The Massive Stag

I’m actually Irish American so not only have the Brits fucked my ancestors or descendants multiple times, I have no “descendants” from you assholes that colonized the Americas and killed off the Native Americans with small pox blankets nor am I in any way related to anyone involved in the American slave trade since my grandparents didn’t come over from their farms in Ruscommon, Ireland until the 1940s…

But as far as nuking Japan goes, the US did what it had to, and proved pretty effective since no one touched American soil again until 2001 until those towel heads attacked my home state of New York…so while many innocents died I guess they learned their lesson from screwing with us and made them regret launching the attack on Pearl Harbor…and I’m pretty sure it led to no more nukes being used in warfare since we saw the absolute devastation they cause and no more world wars occuring thereafter…so you’re welcome

Now I’m done…

@104

If there’s a singular problem with the UK, it isn’t having their national identity ground out of them and if that had happened it wouldn’t have been by the government (who only wish they had so much power).

My guess is that you’ve studied or, more likely given how much you like to generalise and reduce arguments, are studying politics hence your attempt to word-perfect quote from Voltaire. It’s not even proven that the quote was first his. But I can tell you as a politics graduate myself that that doesn’t impress anyone – those who haven’t studied it don’t care, and those who have already know it.

Wake up – governments don’t force reality TV on people, people choose it. Just because you’ve had a better education than many doesn’t mean sh*t until you’ve lived out in the real world. You can blame the Americans, UK governments etc etc etc. all you want but until you’ve achieved one single thing that comes close to all the achievements of the UK past that you like to boast about, you don’t have a single right to think of yourself as being any bit better than all the other people you criticise.

@109

Fair enough, points made.

@110

Right, now it’s your turn to be a dick. We’ve called it a day on that. Time to open your mind and move on.

@85:

It’s not quite as simple as that. The fact is, the clubs are rich because they win things. There are countless teams who used to be at the top, but are now in the lower leagues because they didn’t get the income from all the different places (prize money/sponsorship/gate reciepts/etc) that winning trophies draws them from.

Former European Cup winners like Nottingham Forest, the likes of Champions League semi-finalists Leeds Utd, etc, etc.

There are also teams like Wimbledon who went from the bottom of the league to being in the top flight, without the need for millions in cash.

So just like a guy who gets 7 kills in a row will argue that he deserves a harrier, clubs who win trophies will argue that they deserve their money.

The only exception are the handful of clubs who are taken over by billionaires and buy their way to the top. But once the guy dies/loses his money/loses interest, they’re going to be in trouble.

And it’s not only the big clubs who win the trophies, either. If that were the case, you wouldn’t get the likes of Porto winning the UCL.

On top of that, like it or not, having rich teams with the best players builds excellence. You’ve got clubs like Barcelona (owned by their fans) who people are calling the best team ever, because they can afford to bring in the best players.

In a competition where this kind of acquired excellence is intentionally stamped out, are the fans really getting value for money?

If they have to watch makeshift teams every year, where’s the real quality coming from?

The system isn’t perfect, but football, as with every sport, inn’t purely about winning. If that were the case, you wouldn’t get 40,000 sell out crowds in the lower leagues like you do at clubs like Leeds Utd. If everyone threw the towel in because they thought that it was a closed system where only a handful of teams ever win, then I might agree with you, but the reality isn’t like that.

Face it, football is the most popular sport in the world. The NFL is the most popular sport in one country.

That’s because people recognise that it’s fun to both watch and play.

As for things like diving, lack of competition at the top, etc, well, they’re not problems that are big enough to stop football from being the most popular sport on the planet.

___

Also, whether Americans are harder on cheats or not is beside the point. The point is that cheating (simulation) happens in the NFL as well, so acting like every NFL player is some sort of lion fighting gladiator is a bit silly.

#110 Towel heads? Really? Thanks for the input, though not really doing much to dispel a negative stereotype of Americans is it?

@113 as I stated in my comment after that, I am now done, my point has been well made and I hadn’t read Stag’s comment calling an end to this after I had already posted my response to his previous comment…just the result of “yankee baiting” as he called it…

So back to gaming news and all that jazz…e3 was mediocre this year, but not too bad…I enjoy seeing new gameplay videos and new game announcements every year…just better when there is more of them or they don’t get leaked beforehand so that they are actually surprising…

#112 oh, I know it’s not ever truly been attributed to Voltaire, but I figured more people may get the reference.

I only generalise as I’m pretty restricted by the format of the forum, and I don’t want to over complicate things. I never said governments force reality TV on anyone, the media has. Anyway, healthy debate is healthy.

@The Massive Stag

As you stated, and I concurred afterwards, there is nothing else to be said…

But I guess I will attempt to get the last word in anyway since I earned the right to call them that since they attacked my country and my family members had to watch people jumping out of buildings on fire, and run miles on foot to escape the city or hop a ferry to a different state to get to safety and I had to sit as a sophomore in high school and watch my city brought to its knees as the smoke bellowed from the towers and they eventually collapsed, not to mention they do wear some form of towels on their heads so it is not an inaccurate description…

#116 No worries chap. Some friendly jibes that steamrollered into something entirely different. No harm done. Though you’re still a god damn yankee…

@118:

What exactly is a “towel head”?

@TheMassiveStag

Yup, snowballed a bit there, but no hard feelings, just that tough love/hate relationship the US and UK have for each other…don’t take offense to my last post though, posted that before you posted #119…

I see the picture of the Ubi guy but i can’t agree with that. I thought he did his work really well and was actually one of the best spokespersons there, or however its called.

I was massively disappointed in the continual focus on Kinect from MS this year. I know it’s sold 10 million units, and it’s a new way to play etc, but without the killer app, it’s just not going to appeal to the core gamer that is their main target audience.

In fact I’m getting the hump in general with all this ‘broadening of the audience’ bullshit. I blame Nintendo for showing the games industry that grannies can play games too! Bioware are dumbing down all their product to attract a wider demographic at the expense of their titles, and it gets on my wick. We don’t want to be spoon fed, we want to be challenged, delighted and surprised. I thought we were past treating gamers like kids?

@120 its a term we use for a Muslim, usually directed towards Islamic Fundamentalists who are usually Arab (at least that’s the only form that I use it in)

Oh and it’s The Massive Slag by the way. How you got Stag I have no eye deer…

@124:

Well I’m a Muslim, and I live in Saudi Arabia, and I wear a shamagh (what you mistakenly think is a “towel”) on my head.

But I didn’t attack the US on 9/11.

Neither did billions of others like me.

So stop being so small minded.

Lol my bad Slag, you crack me up dude, I’ve been commenting on this tiny blackberry screen so I can hardly see shit…

But yeah MS’ focus on Kinect was not very exciting although I guess the features in ME3 and GRFS are somewhat interesting it did not blow me away…I liked the mw3 demo starting off the show and tomb raider demo wasn’t bad…halo 4 and halo anniversary were cool as well, and Ryse looks like it could be decent…I was disappointed with Nintendo (even though I wouldn’t buy a Nintendo console anyway) and Sony, I was just underwhelmed by all their Move support (supposedly sold over 8 million units yet still hasn’t reached the 10 mil milestone that Kinect reach 3 months prior to e3) and the Vita wasn’t all that impressive or surprising…although the Dust 514 and Bioshock Infinite segments were interesting…Ubi and EA weren’t half bad either, even though I only paid attention to Ubi for GRFS, FarCry 3 and ACR…

@110, IL DUCE

So you still think the Arabs attacked you guys in 2001? Check out this video and dare to say that again. It’s a summary of all the facts regarding the so called attack on America. As I said earlier, Americans can’t even live in harmony with Americans let alone with other people.

If you guys are that great, try taking on China, Pakistan or Russia. Guess who’s gonna get proper fucked then!

Anyway, check out the video. Oh yeah, don’t be afraid, it’s made in and by Americans.

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-9127706080717077488#

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhQGFQoqBXU&feature=related this is the best clip how English think about the yankees

First these people claim that Americans are stupid and uneducated, and then they spend the rest of the discussion showing how little they know of history, and jumping head first into mindnumbing conspiracy theories, proving just how true that is for themselves.

Where’s the school system? What a bunch of idiots.

I’m really dubious about that 8 million number for Move. I know scores of people with a PS3, and none of them have Move. It is just a glorified WiiMote after all. I dunno, maybe the new round of consoles coming will get my blood up again, but I’ve been so underwhelmed by this year’s releases so far. Fortunately there’s some good shit in a few months. I’ll be steering clear of the shite that is MW3 though, if I want an on rails shooter I’ll buy one, and have my arse handed to me by twitch shooting 8 year olds gets old reeeaaalll quickly…

@130, will ya knock it off with that shit… jesus christ… looks like WWIII is going on….

@131:

Stop trying to change the subject.

#130 Come on DSB, we’re done here. Whatever happened to ‘the special relationship’?

@132 You know, I wish I could, but the sheer hypocrisy is just too much to bear.

If you claim that someone’s uneducated, only to go on and detail how little you know of your own history, and topping that off with a blind belief in completely unfounded conspiracy theories, based on videos on the internet, that really only an idiot would consider, that’s simply too much not to comment on!

@133 If you’d read previous posts, we’re already way past this argument. Sory if you got offended by the towel head shit, I was too, but it’s time to close the book on this one big man.

@128 you are a bit late on the political discussion and conspiracy theories..and I’m not here to discuss that, as of now it was Islamic terrorists and until there is solid proof of otherwise I don’t need to entertain these ideas although I have had my suspicions in the past…and yeah maybe China would screw us with their never ending waves of 7 billion people and maybe Russia, I don’t doubt their military power but it would never happen, I’m pretty sure if it would have the Cold War would have become a real war and not just an arms race…but Pakistan, it doesn’t matter no beef with them although Seal Team Six just infiltrated their country without their knowledge and shot the head figure of the 9/11 attacks through the eye, so I’m not worried about that…war has changed anyway (contrary to what Ron Perlman says at the beginning of Fallout games) and it is no longer country versus country it is just urban warfare, and armies fighting bands of guerilla terrorists throughout several different countries and I don’t think it will ever go back to some big world war country vs country conflict unless something like Homefront happens or China decides to start a war…

Guys. Regardless of nation, colour (with a U for you Americans out there), religion or creed we’re all united in one thing; our love of games (and hatred of Mr Robert Kotick). Let’s put this to bed and start slating the turdbags who made E3 2011 such a royal disappointment.

^ …Its the English that use ‘…our’, not Americans…

@137, IL DUCE

Hey brought up the 2001 thing, not me. And there’s a big difference between facts and conspiracy theories. That link is ALL about FACTS. Just watch the doc and then dare to say the same about 9/11.

No beef with Pakistan? You really don’t know shit about what’s happening in the country you live in. Never heard of the website prison planet? Big fan of FOX news I assume.. Damn.

Btw, were you also cheering when the so called assassination of Bin Laden was on the news? Never asked yourself why isn’t there ANY, ANY fucking proof shown? Wake up and smell the coffee bro!

@140 People are telling you it’s facts, you idiot. Did you try examining the opposite argument?

Because, that’s what an intelligent person would do, rather than swallowing whatever garbage he comes across on the internet, like a complete tool.

@141, DSB

You stupid fuck, I’m talking about a doc based on the news shown on tv, not a Lady Gaga/Bieber news feed.

@142 Yeah, you keep telling yourself that

It’s exactly the same, you sorry tool.

Actually, I’m pretty sure a Lady Gaga documentary is more likely to get something right, since it’s probably made by people with a genuine interest in the full scope of the subjectmatter, rather than a documentary made by a bunch of nerds wearing tinfoil hats, who try to make reality fit their deranged paranoia.

@143

I’ve always had a hard time discussing to low IQ idiots. And yet they dare to say adding fluoride to the water supply doesn’t make people stupid..

@144 Hey man, I thought I saw a humanoid space lizzard running around with Adolph Hitler over by the set of the faked moon landing. I think you’d better go check it out, because I think they might be working with the famous CIA agent Osama Bin Laden to assassinate the US president on the orders of the knights templar, so they can demolish several US landmarks so they’ll be able to divine the exact date and time of the coming apocalypse.

Once you manage to get your own history right, and stop believing in manipulative fairytales you pick up on the internet, maybe you can be taken seriously, when trying to rate other peoples intelligence.

wow we have a lot of comment here 0_o…whats up?

@HeavenlyGamer – no I know everything on FOX News is BS but instead of wasting my time twisting together conspiracies I just trust that we killed Bin Laden and don’t need to see proof…now maybe there’s underlying shit there, maybe its all a lie, but why waste my energy working up a paranoid theory when I can spend it doing something I like such as playing video games, drinking, having relations, eating…etc. And I will watch the vid later can’t watch from my phone since I’m currently @ work…but I’ve seen Farenheit 911 and yes there are some things I question but some things are completely blown out of proportion to tie everything together

@G1GAHURTZ – Dude, I didn’t mean to offend you nor do I have anything against Muslims or Arabs in general, as I said I use the term referring to islamic Fundamentalists that practice terrorism…I don’t use it referring to the the overall culture or religious practices, just those out there that are terrorists and also happen to be Muslim…but anyway, I still apologize for using it and once again didn’t mean anything by it…

@90

Actually, since we placed an embargo on Japan (cutting their oil supplies drastically), they had to either give in to their war efforts or attack us. The idea that the government didn’t know of a possible attack in this situation is a bit misleading, so I wouldn’t talk like you know fully well what the government knew..

We were also assisted by the Spanish ($)

So everyone quit getting their panties in a bunch?

But yea, that E3 video was kind of sad. Even though there were bad moments, there were a good amount of very nice games I’m looking forward to.

@147:

I appreciate it.

There are extremists among all groups of people, but they don’t represent the majority.

Wow glad I missed this mess.

Some real winners in this thread.

Long story short Football(NA – and I say NA, because Canada has their own league too – its not just NFL, but its CFL, and Areana leagues. Its Pro-am teams, Collage teams, and High School teams) is an institution in NA. It doesn’t have to be better. Doesn’t have to watched by more numbers then other sports. It doesn’t have to prove anything at all.

Let me correct some stupid statements.

Every major profesional sport that I know of in the world has its share of rule benders. Some athletes take human performance druges. Some eat special diets. Some take Vitamins or herbs. Some take chemicals. Some take herbs that mimc know outlawed drugs, but as of yet those herbs haven’t been outlawed in said sport. Every sport. Don’t fool yourself.

Athletes in the UK are no different then ones in the US or the ones in France or Aussie or anywhere in between. They are competing for fame, fortune and glory. When those things are on the line, its only cheating if you get caught, or so many think.

Before the US got into WW2 England was being bombed daily. That Mr. Heavenly Gamer is indeed a fact. London was under blackouts at night. The US did offer help and assistance to the UK. W/O the US help you may well be speaking German right now or Russian. The US helped, ALOT. And with US help, and the blood of US soldiers, TOGETHER we pushed the Nazis back.

WE, the allied forces liberated France, pushed Hitler out of N. Africa, toppled Italy and drove into Berlin. Those are FACTS.

I know a lot of details are left out, I ain’t writting a book here.

But credit where it is due. The United States was a huge part of the reason Hitler was defeated. I have family that fought in that damn war. America lost a lot of good men helping you. Standing next to you against evil. Don’t forget that.

Yes we dropped the Atomic Bomb. And right or wrong it worked. The goal was to defeat the Japanesse. And quickly. Island hoping would have dragged the war out for years and years. And it was not as if JP was going to just surrender. They would have fought to the death.

The devistation the bombs caused was catostrophic. Its beyond words. And it was done in a day and age whne there wasn’t instant media, most Americans had no idea how bad it was till years later. If the US/Allied command had known then what we all know know, things may have preceded differently. But they didn’t.

Here is the kicker. I didn’t drop the bombs. No one in the current US had anything to do with that decision. It would be like blaming modern day Germany or the people that live there for Adolf Hitler. DSB is right, a couple of you folks have some very … unique views of history.

There is alot of crap my nation does that I am not proud of. The same could prolly be said of most nations. I don’t run my nation, I just live in it. How about you?

Ok other things. NA Football has a history of players getting killed and paralyized. Thus the pads and helmets. And there is a very large amount of kids playing that range from 5yr old to collage level, player safty is a top concern.

And do we really want to be the one nation that has the most dangerious sport in the world? Thats dumb. Any nation that cares about it athletes wants to see them safe. Again the equipment.

And I am sorry but no Soccer is not the same kind of sport as Football. Rugby, yes. Aussie Rules Football(hell Aussie rules almost anything – them fellas are damn tough) yes. But Soccer? No.

Soccer is the worlds number one sport because all it takes is a ball. Anyone can play anywhere = brilliant. You can play that game with a mob of kids in an empty field or steet so long as you have one ball. Its basic rules are easy to understand, and pretty much anyone can pick up playing right away. Those are not put downs, btw. Just simple facts. Try playing a game of Hockey in the back streets of anywhere, not gonna happen.

It is what it is.

Some of you are so radib fans that you actualy think it matters how many people play or watch a sport. Who cares? I am American, I hate Soccer. Period. I don’t care what league or team you follow. All I see is a bunch of skinny scrawnie players kicking a ball around, just waiting for a chance to rip their shirts off while runing around the field after a goal. Its boring as hell. Its right up there with Curling. I would rather watch Baseball, and thats boring too. And don’t give me NA attention spans either Canada does curling, and the US came up with Baseball. Both boring. IMO. And btw, that was not a put down either, just my personal preference as a sports fan.

A couple of you guys are treading into stupid. I am really getting tired of some of you putting down the Americans here. And btw DSB is not American, and he said so. You sit there and display the very same traits you assume and acusse all Americans of having. Arogance and ignorance mostly. You can call us anything you want. But there is a little bit of almost every nation in the world mixed into this metling pot of a land. “Give me your tired, poor, huddled masses….” and all of that. Most of the people that came here did so seaking a better life.

No nation is perfect and most of a nations faults are not that of their peoples, but those of their leaders. Keep that in mind when your playing the blame game. And what sport you watch/play isn’t all that big of a deal so long as you enjoy it.

I took the time to point out the origins of the word Soccer because so many EUs assume that Americans made the word, and then they toss insults around like anyone would care about where the word comes from in the first place. I think it was a cool read.

Besides, whats in a name?

And isn’t this a video games website anyways?
