I'm assuming he's talking about last year where FFVII remake and Shenmue III were announced and EZA acted like a bunch of retards and made Tom Cruise jumping on Oprah's couch look like totally normal behavior and GB were trying too hard to be cool and detached.

They were both in the wrong for being tryhard faggots just in different direction.
>>
Just different reactions, no hard feelings. GB guys didn't grow up as fans of Shenmue or Final Fantasy so they weren't that excited.
>>
>>340709152
Their fans are having a slap fight about being hype (EZA) vs anti-hype (GB) over E3.
>>
>>340709523
My favorite thing about that entire event is that it was only the fans that cared.
Both the GameTrailers and Giant Bomb crew respect each other, they thought the entire thing was a bit ridiculous.
Like, they grew up liking different things and the two websites had different expectations while going into the event. GT was going in as a bunch of fans who were watching to be excited, GB was going in as a bunch of journalists who were watching to know which questions to ask and which articles to write.

>>
>>340709523
GB has people who have been in the game since they were 15. Now they're creeping up on their 40s.
They are calm and collected because they've seen it all before.
Jeff was also in his 20s when Shenmue came out. It wasn't really a good game, guys.
It's already been superseded by Yakuza years ago.
FF7 was great, but they all knew this was coming anyway.
Most of the GB staff like FF before FF7 the most.

Yeah sure, when it comes to cool jobs like movie directors, engineers, game industry, tech industry, etc. they yell and scream about there aren't enough women. But when was the last time you saw them advocate for more women coal miners? Or fire fighters? Or construction workers?

Though I can understand being excited. Nobody thought Shenmue had a chance; and while I'd never ask for a FFVII remake, I get it.

Acting like people were wrong for wanting both is shitty. Those titles existing don't hurt anyone.

Pretty sure Jeff Gerstmann referred to Shenmue as a "fork life simulator for assholes". He doesn't just "not like" Shenmue, he passionately hates it and happily disparaging anyone who does like it.

But that's just the standard state of discourse in the gaming community. Anyone who likes what you don't like or doesn't like what you do like is a "faggot" or a "misogynist" or a "racist" or a "manchild" or a "pedo" or a whatever. It's incredibly vitriolic.
>>
>>340714506
so? if something you hated was popular you would say the same things. He doesn't have a responsibility to pretend to tolerate something just because people like you can't handle different opinions. If you don't like what he has to say, go watch someone else or better yet, go play some some actual video games.

I don't actually.

There's a difference between expressing a dislike and objectively declaring something to be shit and anyone who like it to be shit. For example, saying "I don't like Assassin's Creed" is a little different to saying "Assassin's Creed is a fucking awful game and the fanbase are all a bunch of retards."

>he's stating his own opinion, he's not attacking you for Christs sake. newsflash, different people like different games.

I know he's not attacking me because I don't actually like Shenmue myself, but he definitely attacked Shenmue fans. He's gone on more than one rant about Shenmue and the fanbase. He really, really doesn't like them and wants it to be known.

Why is this the best stream?
>>
>>340720214

>bosman

gee i wonder why
>>
>>340711594
I mean, Razorfist seems like a faggot, but he's pretty right about this.

Shenmue is kinda an exception though with context. It just seemed like a pipe dream till that moment.
>>
>>340720214
I stopped watching after the first stream.

I imagine it's just him interacting with the twitch streamers. Its not like he'll ever beat Woz.

And I don't care for the community video they upload every month. I feel bad for Brandon for having to upload a half hour of irrelevant opinions of patrons.

Shenmue 3 being announced was literally his dream game coming true. It's like having your dream game getting announced when all hope is lost but you kept on believing anyways for that one day it'll happen.

Don't you feel like that anymore?

I don't think she's anyone in particular.

From what I remember of that stream it was a bunch of randos as well as devs/journalists who were there too, so a good number of the people performing on stage weren't anyone notable.
>>
>>340719021
He's excited and sees the potential in every game. He shits on games he dislikes half the time too, you can see him tune out on some games they play when they stream sometimes.

Also when was the last time you've seen people in the gaming industry actually getting excited for games again? Pretty sure that most people in gaming are all cynical like on /v/, it's good to have optimism for once.

I like both groups but I'm going to be watching the conferences raw.

I really dont' care for anyone's live reactions or commentary to the announcements.

Post conference coverage will be tough I guess. Leaning more towards EZA because they aren't Austin or Austin or Patrick or Dan.

I hope Ian is too busy to be on the panels.

Speaking of Giant Bomb - can anyone tell what the point of E3 Judges Awards are? Every year Jeff goes away for a week to give an award to something that - for the last few years - has usually been an interactive bullshot.
>>
>>340722135

it's not you daft cunt, that's why it's so cringeworthy and wrong
>>
>>340714305
At the beginning of the month some transactions don't go through so the number changes to reflect that.
>>
>>340722217
>can anyone tell what the point of E3 Judges Awards are?

They're the people who say what games can say they won E3 awards and print it on their covers. Titanfall won 8 million E3 awards, must be good, lads.
>>
>>340722217

it's a prestige thing, they get the main guys behind the biggest sites to give out awards, also Jeff does the whole CBS tv and radio interviews, it's basically something for the mainstream so that the wall street journal can say 'this game received this many E3 judges awards'
>>
>>340722217
Judges week is where journalists are shown new games that are coming out in order to give awards so they can get BEST OF E3 that game companies love to show off like Evolve.
>>
>>340722217
It lets the different bloggers and news outlets preview the games ahead of time as well as doing the whole "BEST OF SHOW 80+ AWARDS" shit some games put on their box art and in trailers.
>>
>>340722421

yeah, one of the main reason jeff goes is to get extra time with the games and to get a chance to play more of them
>>
>>340718310
Huber seems like the biggest extrovert of the group. He's confident and outgoing for one, and Shenmue 3 was his dream game.

I think the groups reactions are entirely based on him

The people closest to him emphasise the most, knowing how much the franchise means to him, and react accordingly, none of them really care for shenmue

Also the fact shenmue was a bet among them increases hype higher
>>
>>340722583
No he's weird, he loves sitting in the dark alone with headphones on watching movies and playing games. He says that's how he unwinds after a day at work. Like one time his friends got over to watch a movie, he gave them headphones and they watched it in the dark with both of them using their own headphones.

Unrelated to GB or EA, but related to E3:

Does anyone have a good site that updates all E3 info as it happens? I'm going to be missing the majority of the conferences Monday and would love an easy recap that's not shitposting on /v/ or the few articles that pop up on GB.
>>
>>340721401
Bosman has some quirks like that, but he's also the best "gaming personality" around right now.

I usually just track Twitter throughout the day, but I'll second IGN since they usually have stuff up relatively fast.

Polygon usually does a story stream thing that just lists out all the big news of the day for each conference if you're capable of not being an autist and having a panic attack cause they published another dumb opinion article.

>>340709091

The trend of over reacting to shit like this is getting on my nerves. I can understand that you want to appeal to your audience but the way those cunts were acting made my cringe.

GB act way more realistically in these situations. If my dream game got announced tomorrow I wouldnt yell and scream and run around like a dick head.

If a big game gets announced at E3 and it ends with something like "and it will be on sale tonight!" then you might get a bit more of a reaction out of me but when these companies come out and announce something that is due to release YEARS after the announcement it hardly warrants that kind of reaction.

The FFVII remake announcement was cool but we arent getting the full game for literally years with the episodic structure. Im not going to jump out of my chair and yell "I cant wait to play that in 5 years!!"

From what I can tell, they're pretty much guaranteed to talk at length about anything Klepek writes about at Kotaku. Their community also acts as if Klepek still works at GB.

Hell, just in their most recent podcast, they answered an e-mail explaining that pretty much all of games journalism is a single friend group instead of being competing outlets.
