How bad will it be?

It's almost here.

E3.

No, this isn't about how "terrible" all the announcements will be... That's another discussion.

This is about how bad the General 360 board is going to get. 17 topics all about the same announcement, any real discussions crashing to a halt, the same 6 people posting the same 6 end-of-the-world announcements (THEY ADDED MULTIPLAYER IT'S GOING TO SUCK NOW!) In every topic about everything...

Scale of 1-10. What do you expect?

I'm going for a 8.75. The trolls have been out in full force already, this'll just crank them up to 11.

Also, I predict 11 topics by Bronzechamp by the end of it. Are you going to take the over or the under?

What General 360 board are we talkin' about? The one on this site or another one?

Although I expect the same on any main console board on any site. I go on Gamefaqs once in a while but I don't post much anymore and that place, especially around E3 time, is a hellhole you wanna stay away from.

I expect that fuckstick Subseenix will be trolling his ass off unless Micosoft has anything but a perfect showing.

That guy fucking bugs me, a lot of it stems from when I was a regular on the PS3 board.

Yes, we're talking about the GameFAQs Xbox 360 General Discussion Board.

I've been bitch-slappin' that forum into shape for months now and I can tell you, this man is absolutely correct. That place is nothing but shit during E3.

The *only* posting I will be doing is making sure that the SHMUP discussion doesn't get locked because every asshole troll fuckwad comes out of the woodwork during the conference and bazillions of worthless topics start popping up... half of which will be from the same 2 or 3 people.

If stupidity pisses you off as much as it does me, you would be best to stay away... nothing good happens there during E3. NOTHING.

I enjoy it. Darkslayer (I sent him a second invite to here) used to make an E3 topic with times and channels, and it becomes like a chat room.

The trolls really arent' that bad, they kind of pale in comparison to some of the random lurkers or occasional posters that pop out during E3 or big news events.

I think often most people are on the same page. Who didn't laugh at Kinectables or RIDGE RACERRRRR. People with no soul, that's who!

I can't wait, I took two days off for the first two days (well technically the day before and the first day). The only thing I'm dreading is that I have to leave some time during the day to go vote, it's an important election.

It's true that some good topics and posters also come out of the woodwork during E3 time but I still generally stay away for bad reasons but also because it's impossible to get a word in. You post? There's likely fifteen or more people posting at the same time so it's rare anyone even sees your post.

The single most insane response to *anything* E3 related that I have seen over my years was the state of the PS3 board when Final Fantasy XIII was announced as Multiplat.

It.
Went.

lol People still whine about that today even though it's now considered one of the worst games this gen on Gamefaqs. I can't imagine what it would have been like when the game actually came out. I didn't have a PS3 at the time so I didn't pay attention to the PS3 or 360 boards.

I actually made a topic once saying that the Final Fantasy series was overrated and explaining my reasons (this was before I had played like half the series though) and I was accused of being butthurt because FFXIII wasn't on the Wii. lolgamefaqslogic

I really did think that at the time because I hadn't played anything past 9 since I didn't have a PS2 and I had played nothing before 6 either and some spinoffs on the Gamecube like Crystal Chronicles. At the time the series didn't seem as great as people said it was. Then I played more, started to appreciate some of the other games more that I had already played and now I can honestly say FF is one of my favorite series but the whole butthurt comment...perhaps they were the ones butthurt over someone picking apart their favorite series? :D

But as I said: lolgamefaqslogic

Out of utter curiosity, how much hate for the Wii-U is there? I know on the PS3 board there's always tons of hate for Nintendo. I'd assume it's the same on the 360 board.

There was some topics made by nintendo fanboys or trolls talking about how MS is done now that Wii u is coming... some nintendo hate there, but in general Nintendo isn't even considered at all on the Xbox 360 boards. Not hate, just not even caring. I'm kind of in that mindset myself. I love Skyward sword, other than that my Wiii is pretty useless for anything other than the VC.

I got rid of my Wii about 6 months ago as it was dying on me... but I have every decent game I picked up for it still, as I plan on picking up another one when they get cheap enough or possibly a WiiU if it's BC.

I don't play my Wii often and when I do it's usually a Gamecube game. LOL

But there's been some great RPGs coming out like Xenoblade and The Last Story.

Xenoblade is one of those games everyone should at least try once if they like RPGs. If The Last Story is even anywhere near that quality I'll be a happy camper.

I just posted in Aru's topic on General 360. He should be highlighted in yellow for all of us.

That sums up my feelings.

From what I've heard The Last Story definitely is a great contender. Ask Scott and Focian, those two have played it and they really made me want the game what with the fully customizable outfits (down to the buckles on the clothes O_O ) and using the environment to take out groups of enemies. It sounds amazing.

It's not. At least as far as I've played.
Maybe I'm just jaded since Xenoblade is one of my favourite JRPGs ever...

It's a good game, but it doesn't have the grand scope of Xenoblade. I'd really, really suggest giving yourself 6 months breathing space after Xenoblade to let your brain settle down and to remove any expectations.
Last Story is all about a core group of about 6 characters (I forget, been a while since I played) and how they interact with each other. The combat is fun and the story is interesting so far (I'm not too far through it, it's still building up to something that hasn't happened yet) but it's not on the same level as Xenoblade, which grabbed me from about hour 2.

That's a shame.

The huge scale of everything in Xenoblade is definitely one of the things I like about it. It'll be a while before I get to it, anyhow, so that should help as far as expectations go. I've got to stop picking up new games until I get my backlog at least somewhat under control. I'm still interested but it'll be a little bit easier to wait now.

I wondered if you would reply to what I said, I've seen you recommend Xenoblade to a lot of people. :D

I'm glad I got my Wii just for the sake of Fishing Resort and Harvest Moon: Animal Parade. Those two alone made it worth it.

On the subject of the Wii U, I'm taking a wait-and-see approach, but I can say that the price point speculations I've seen are just so high that I seriously doubt I'd be getting one any time close to release. I'll wait for a drop unless there are games I REALLY want.

Anyways, a ? on the 360 version of IE, and may be a dumbass one, but my knowledge of this stuff isn't too great. Would it be too paranoid to worry that maybe malware developers might consider it worth developing their crap for? My 360 is the last thing I need being infected; at least I'm pretty decent at cleaning up PC infections. I know Android has been quite a target lately too from what I've been reading. ETA: Well, someone on the official board gave me a reassuring answer explaining the unliklihood, but still, like I said, I'm paranoid.

Pretty shitty show all the way around as far as the console makers go. Will Nintendo step it up?

I thought you said shiny and I was like whaaa?

MS should have paced the games in the beginning. But I see what they did, they wanted a strong start.

And Sony should have had something more in the beginning. And way too much talk, too much monotone talk by that uninteresting guy.

Alright, maybe I'm posting in the wrong topic here, but it looks like this has evolved into a discussion of the E3 events (also thanks for the invites, dudes). My thoughts:

-Smart Glass could turn out to be really cool. Or a gigantic headache. Let's hope for cool.
-Assassin's Creed 3 is the first one in the series that looks interesting to me. And the Vita one looks cool too.
-Sony had a stronger showing than MS, IMO
-Can't wait for Nintendo's Conference (It's my birthday today and I bought myself a 3DS, so I'm hoping for some fun announcements)
-Last of Us looks pretty good, but it's Uncharted with zombies and anyone who says different is lying to themselves.
-What did everyone think of Beyond? I'm on the fence...
