The real question:

Does Cheapy's bald head stick out in Los Angeles?

In the interest of all CAG members, I will answer this.

good question.... he's got to stand out for being most likely one of the few people that attends and can proudly say he WAS IN a video game (Saint's Row 3rd, if I remember correctly? DLC right!?)

hope you all have a great time, as you all are pretty much living the dream haha!

[hankmecrankme]

They let you back in the US? Guess the statute of limitations ran out.

[j-cart]

Best part? I don't need to find Cheapy, he'll come to me. That's how popular I'm going to be.

I'm surprised the entire industry doesn't have a contract out on CheapyD for running this website. I can't remember the last time I bought a video game at MSRP but I think I've been on here for 3 years. Though it's possible the world economic crisis has more to do with that than this website - not to step on anybody's egos. Could the entire Kmart coupon run have existed without this site? And how much does Gamefly owe for sales? I wouldn't have even known NewEgg sold games w/o reading about them on here.
CheapyD puts the "S" in MSRP.

Some thoughts on the M$ presser:

• Splinter Cell really knocked it out of the park for Kinect; this is the sort of thing that even a jaded gamer like me could get excited for
• Everything else Kinect. . .sucked
• Tomb Raider has lost its way and is really trying way too hard to capture the Uncharted experience. I honestly wish developers would stop trying to copy winning formulas and stand out again. It's also a touch dark for what TR is all about and fucking destroys the strong female image that is Lara Croft. Seeing the gameplay really made me sad. I want the adventure game I fell in love with back.
• Resident Evil 6 looks like garbage and will be received poorly. I think this will be the nail in the coffin for Capcom. (I laughed so hard when a thrown grenade knocked a zombie down; apparently their weakness is tiny, round objects)
• SmartGlass? Flecks of green in your eyes M$ over the WiiU controller? Seriously, stop trying to compete when core gamers couldn't care less. Also, stop passing off content like HBO Go as your own. Your app only links to what is already available now and doesn't make it smarter for that fact.
• Lastly, a question to people who buy CoD games. Does this stuff seriously excite you? Honestly, it's a question, not a statement.

[Jodou]

In six hours.

[SpeedyG]

Anyone find it funny that EA gave a shout out to the Ex Infinity Wards devs and then brought out DICE to shill for BF3 Premium?

[Jodou]

So from EA we get Gears of Space 3, BF3 premium (such a great double-dip for them since everyone already has Karkand), and a bunch of sports games. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. . .

Also, Crysis 3. Yeah, not at all excited since they're still stuck in urban mode. Go back to sandbox or GTFO Crytek.

[Dorin]

I traded it 5 games to get Crysis 2 basically for free. I played twenty minutes of it and lost the motivation to continue. However, Crysis 3 LOOKS good. Doubt my PC will run it.

[lokizz]

black ops 2 looked damn boring all i could think was wow and people keep coming back for more of that? i hope sony has a few surprises.

[slidecage]

Come on be true...

Was at mom and pop run video game store and they said

PS3 price drop june 17 199.99

was also told

AUG 15 2012 a 3ds XL is coming at 249.99


personally i think they are pulling that date out of the ass..... more and more talk is no price drop :(



hopefully in 3 hours we will know ...... and hopefully tomorrow the 2nd part ... That seems WAY OVERPRICED For the 3ds

Come on, cussing at refs in sports games is pure awesome.

Love Tomb Raider. Sure it looks like Uncharted, but showing puzzles makes for a boring demo. Tomb Raider always delivers in the puzzles. I have zero reservations about this game.

Also, Crysis 3. Yeah, not at all excited since they're still stuck in urban mode. Go back to sandbox or GTFO Crytek.

Loved the New York setting. I'm ready for more.

The first couple hours are terrible. Once you get to the aliens it really gets going though. Probably my favorite game last year.

[Javery]

I can tell just by watching the trailer that the control in RE6 is still going to be wonky. Also, can we get Ultimate Resident Evil or Earth 2 Resident Evil at this point? The story is so ridiculous and convoluted it's time to start over. I'll still play this shit though.

Wow a new IP?! Watch Dogs looks very interesting.. hope to see more of it at the show.

[Jodou]

Umm wow, from tits to Watch Dogs Ubisoft has won E3 IMO. Aside from their per-usual annoying hosts, they simply had pure energy from start to finish. Watch Dogs will be best of show hands down. My only question is with the shift in player perspective, is there any online co-op we can expect? And while I feel Assassin's Creed has been milked to death, the game does look refreshing and finally has me excited. Far Cry 3 had me worried, but once they showed the sandbox gameplay I was ready to fall in love again.

Mega props for bringing in, you know, ACTUAL gamers to demo their Shootmania title. M$, EA, Nintendo, and Sony could all learn a thing or two about playing to your core audience.

I can't believe it but in five years or better I'm actually incredibly excited for a new IP. Ubisoft certainly knows how to present stories in a gripping fashion IMO.

Could not agree more. They presented more awesome in one hour than MS has the past 3 years. I just hope Watch_Dogs is far into development and we do not have a Prey 2 situation where the demo was awesome and then the game has been bogged down.
