Just wait till its over. Look at the "winners of e3" articles and look up test games and shit you are looking forward to

E3 is a shitshow, just look at what was announced and dont get excited about any of it.

Sure thing buddy. It doesn't look too flashy now down grade it any further and it will look like a console game

That would be funny if he was, but I do not believe so.
>>68438289
I can understand your anger
>>68438291
EA will down grade it across platform
>>68438402
I dont think so. On PC all battlefield games have looked pretty stunning
I get the pessimism but I am cautiously optimistic for a BF:BC tier game again. Obviously not going to go full retard and buy it before reviews are out
>being even the slightest optimistic about E3
I love me some BF:BC(1/2), but DICE have openly talked about how they have no idea how they got that game's single player to be good.
And if anything, they have focused on only multiplayer, which I do not know how they're going to create more than just 5 maps to rotate through.
>>68438610
>>68438771
forgot to link you mate, sorry
>being 12 years old
>>68438771
What I'm trying to say is it looks like a return to form and I'm hopeful
There are a fair number of scripted bits in the trailer that look like single player things so who can tell from the outside looking in
To be fair the small number of games I have said looked good at E3 have all turned out to be great IMO. So going off my track record it's going to be good :^)
But I do agree never pre order or anything based off of E3
>>68439211
I can get on that train of thought, it should be interesting to see more about it though within the next few months.

No him but they're a weak size, NZ rugby union is just superior to everyone else. Our club teams are good enough to take out the best in Europe
>>68450843
Agreed. He's an injury away from a callup

Nah just stop being a cunt.
Well there's still the second half. It's clear that the Chiefs are going full throttle, but when they run out of steam, their bench strength will be questionable without their key players.
Hiroshima Yamaha mon of the match.
Wales should really try a cross-field kick
>>68451039
They should try holding onto the ball and getting some phases going.
How pathetic are wales lads
Webber is the second best halfback imo must feel hard done by not to be in the squad tttt
This is just embarrassing from us

>another try with 3 mins to go
JUST
>>68451305
Posting from my phone tttt sis.
Are the Wales just passing too slow or are the Chiefs just reading the Welsh intentions too well?
Everytime the ball leaves the Welsh halfback's hands, there's a Chiefs player already in the face of the Welsh receiver. What then happens is the Welsh player either gets pinned or slowed down for the follow-up tackler to effectively bring him down
Rinse and repeat
>>68451319
Gatland literally hasn't changed his tactics since coaching the Chiefs back in 2006.
>>68451292
I think it's fair to say that the AB teams made on here with Lowe on the wing would likely be stronger than our current meme team
Is this the end of Warren Gatland?
Think I'm falling in love with beaver tttt lads
>>68451339
Who would replace him?
>>68451319
It's the way they've set their attacking lines up. The two forwards up flat is good for getting over the advantage line but shit for actually breaking the line into open space. The reason why it doesn't work with the way Wales does it is because they don't have a threat on both sides of the ruck and have no way of quickly getting it to the centres/wings/fullback.
Gatland's strategy for offence is absolute shit.
>>68451346
Obviously Shane Williams.
Full time

Won the NPC that year only dropping a game and then to the quarters in 2007. Based Richard Kahui was in champagne form those years.
just caught the last 3 minutes,i'm glad I didn't see the whole game, how ridiculous. were wales resting players or were they just playing abysmally?
>>68451440
Just didn't have the "penetrative power" they had possession for most of the second half they just couldn't get the point ball over the score line
>>68451438
Mate just seeing the name. Miss that dude holy fuck.
How would Wales fare against the EXETER Chiefs?
Seething damage control time: this Wales team is a total hodgepodge of third and second pick players with the exception of a few. Nothing like the test side will be
>>68451339
Dai Young ideally
>>68451465
>Seething damage control time
not
>we dont even care about this semen slurping sport
given Bales has 1(one) good soccer player now, you might even get away with it
>>68451440
Wales put out a second team, but it doesn't really excuse that level of shite.
Gatland at the end of a rope, when?
>>68451481
Wales literally has no fucking depth. Playing Wales B just means automatic victory.
>>68451483
I don't think you realise how little strength in depth Wales has. With a few injuries/resting players we're down to literal shit in most positions.
Reminder : A man died during the welsh training today. He's still the most well off Welshman since he didn't have to live to see that shit
>>68451502
I do but one of 5 regions with a super rugby team that is at half strength if that. Demolished the B side for your entire country
>>68451502
It's a fucking travesty mate. This is supposed to be our national sport. I grew up in Wales and the whole fucking set up is fucked up from the grassroots level. Everybody just seems to be fucking around. Compare that to here where we literally have highschol rugby on tv
>wales
>>68451530
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rugby_union_in_Wales
reading this and seeing tonights game is even more depressing
>>68451502
Mate the (arguably) second best team in the 6 nations just got spanked by the (from current standings) second best team in NZ super rugby
>>68451558
Gatlands tactics work against NH teams but the SH sides are just to fast for this shit
>>68451530
I agree with you, it is a travesty. Given the rugby we're capable of playing and the popularity of the sport in Wales it's a complete fuckery that we can be this bad as well. Every player that pulled on a Wales shirt today should be ashamed.
>>68451597
Hardly even work in the NH any more. Gatlandball is stale anti-rugby and is wasting this generation of class players. He honestly has to go after this shit.
>>68451597
>we cant play the big strong fast SHers
In all honesty this result is not what we really needed after an atrocious performance on the weekend. Hopefully our camp sees the calibre of play we expect of them and deliver it like the Chiefs did today
>>68451613
Anyone cap the "Emergency exit protocols" sign behind Gatland?
>>68451629
Not with their current tactics, no t hey can't.
>>68451613
I'm a bit tired of our current playstyle down here
>hold out until the subs start rolling on and win with our """"depth""""
It can be very nerve wrecking watching the AB'S play
I really want some fresh blood in the management camp not the remaining guys from the Sir Graham Henry camp
>>68451654

>>68451654
There is nobody this won't work against. Back in the day this shit would never work against South Africa but they're about to go to complete shit
Honestly doesn't tonight's result paint a very bad picture of professional Rugby at the moment.
>>68451708
Yes and it just shows how deep and true our depth meme is
>>68451708
International Rugby is shit. What's the point when we know we're going to win 90% of the time?
55 games under Hansen and we've lost 3 with 2 draws. I really wish everybody else wasn't so shit
The halfback is the most important position in rugby right now right?
>>68451797
What then? 1st five? A top half back raises the game of every one on his team. Webber showed it tonight the quick speed at ruck time was pretty crucial in the chiefs win.
>>68451757
it's a bit shit.
i've heard someone say that the all blacks are like the final boss of rugby. which is fine but a final boss should be able to be beaten more than 3 times out of 55.
what's the solution though?
>>68451866
South island secession tttt
Ultimately it comes down to the strength of the brand and the fact that the NZRU is far more competently run than the other unions
>>68451866
Inject more nigs into euro teams?
>>68451924
>South island secession tttt

>>68451965
Can you imagine if we were two different countries.
North Island would have won the 87 and 2015 world cup but neither would have won in 2011
Dan Carter would be a slightly controversial character after spending most of his career playing for the blues who would be the dominant super rugby franchise.
Shag coached south island vs north Island Rennie
South island become forward pack and kicking game oriented.
North Island built off the backs and the running game.
Would definitely be interesting.
>>68452081
They used to have inter island matches back in the 80's - 90s i think they cancelled it due to the Norths dominance.
I would love to see that happen again though.
