Basically they wanted lots of money/ advertising rights for various companies to have press conferences at E3 proper so all three big publishers said fuck that and held their press conferences around the same time and still in LA but not actually part of E3.

Iirc from 2019, xbox, play station, Nintendo, Bethesda, square enix, and the PC games press conference were all held the week before. Those shows and the associated panels are the biggest draw of E3 and almost none of them showed up.

Reply to Why do games nowadays have to be categorized either really good or really horrible? by mega_lova_nia

Context is important.

Some games are close to unplayable at launch, at least for some people. Some games have multiple game breaking bugs at launch, at least for some people.

Those games will likely be fixed within days or a couple of week, but if somebody pays full price for a game at launch, obviously they are going to be upset if the game is broken.

Some games repeat what other games have done before while offering a worse experience.

If I bought the patched version of such a game at a discount, my overall experience might be positive: but understandably, somebody who paid full-price and had issues with the game is going to be very unhappy.

I believe COVID killed E3, not the internet an Geoff.

We had E3 when the internet was plenty advanced for several years.

Side note though, how is Geoff permanently the gamer awards guy, like I don't hate him, but it's crazy to me how he gets these roles every single time. Makes me feel like he has some crazy background I don't know about.

Reply to What is Marvels Midnight Suns like? by I_wood_rather_be

I was hesitant about purchasing, but grabbed it when it went on sale. I really like the gameplay but think it is overshadowed by all the dialog, and traversing around the grounds with a very awkward looking running mechanic. I find myself skipping almost all of the dialog so I can get to the next mission. Would have preferred a 80/20 gameplay to dialog ratio instead of the 50/50. Also think they could have used cinematic/cgi cut scenes to make them more appealing, especially the action cutscenes (I don’t mean during battle).
