It was casual shit and sequels. That's pretty much it.

The only good shit they showed was the Vita's price. All the other shit was brown shooters. All of the conferences were shit.

Yeah, modern gaming is pretty fucked. The only good games coming out for the rest of the year are Dark Souls and King of Fighters XIII. How sad.

>>7448733
modern gaming is in bad shape, but the ones you listed are shit too.

>good game

pick one.

>>7448738
but I like skill-based games, and those are the only good ones coming out.

enjoy your Witcher 2.

>>7448741
>skill-based games
>console
your two examples are a rehash fighting game and rpg too? you're a funny guy, mr.joker.

>>7448694
Sony's was terrible, not nearly worth a B.
High budget game development is no longer an art, it has become nothing more than mass-production. Fortunately, the indie game scene seems to be developing in a great way, so we still get good new games. Pic related.

The only high-budget company I still have any hopes for is Nintendo. We'll see what they have to show in a couple hours.

>>7448753
This game takes more skill than anything on PC. How does that make you feel?

>>7448763
Ketsui takes more skill than Ketsui? I don't follow.

>>7448767

If we're going by this basis then every single game ever made (that's worth playing) is a PC game.

>>7448767
Emulation doesn't make it an official game for the platform.

>>7448763
tell me about the competition and money you win for playing that game.

>2011
>thinks shmup ai is difficult to beat instead of a waste of time
if you want to beat actual difficult ai why don't you challenge one of the million dollar super computers with chess ai instead of some shovelware japs shit out?

>It didn't even have a really funny overthetop confrence like last year's Konami

oh no, now you and your /v/ friends can't make any xDfunnay reaction images to post alongside your E3 greentext.

Fuck off.

>>7448771
Yeah, it makes it superior arcade version.

>>7448770
You say that as if it weren't true. Ketsui is just as much a PC game as it is a console game.

>>7448771
It doesn't even remotely matter whether it's official or not, what are you even saying?

>>7448773
Oh, so you're retarded. I had a hunch, but I'm glad you confirmed it.

>>7448781
you're so destroyed you can't even make a post arguing anything. i suppose you think your shovelware ai is more challenging than the ai super computers run? probably.

Besides, you act as if some of the greatest games ever aren't doujin games.

>>7448782
Holy shit, he keeps writing those walls of text. I need to catch up.

Of course they are not going to show off niche genres and slow-paced games at E3, only the latest brown and gray shooters and sports games with HD 3D 19094218P graphics. We aren't the market anymore.

>>7448780
By this logic, the Wii would be a great console instead of the festering piece of shit that it actually is because it has a huge library of emulated rom dumps available.

Ketsui is not a PC game. It is a game you can play on your PC by emulating PGM hardware.

>>7448787

!MyonHUTINA, I can sometimes put up with your shitposting when it's on-topic, but please don't even begin to put up the pretence that your entire post output can speak with authority on games with anything like the expertise of a single insomnia article. Greentexting the URL is not a fucking rebuttal you retard.

And you clearly haven't even read a word Alex has written, otherwise you'd have known that he makes a distinction between indie (i.e. Western) and doujin (i.e. Japanese) games. Try to actually read the site instead of believing everything your retarded shmups friends tell you about it.

>>7448782

>insomnia.ac

Do you really want to start that again?

I can't believe I stayed up for nearly 24 straight hours for the shitfest that was most of yesterday's E3. Sony revealing that the PSV would only cost $249 was nice though, and I'll be pre-ordering one as soon as it's possible to do so. I'm holding out hope that Nintendo will deliver with the Wii's successor.

>>7448801

Or if you can't be bothered reading the whole site (which we both know you don't have the attention span for), here's the relevant passage:

http://insomnia.ac/reviews/pc/vvvvvv/

>But let's make an important distinction here: Doukutsu Monogatari is a doujin game, not an indie one -- if this distinction seems pedantic to you, hold on to your bile while I explain why I am making it. A doujin game is indeed, roughly speaking, a Japanese indie game -- but this little word, "Japanese", makes a world of difference. Because the doujin scene has given us games like Melty Blood, Big Bang Beat, Akatsuki Denkou Senki, Every Extend, Acceleration of Suguri, Tumiki Fighters, Warning Forever, Imperishable Night, Shoot the Bullet and Trouble Witches -- games which at the time of their release stood right at -- or at least very near -- the cutting edge of their respective genres in terms of complexity (and even sometimes presentation), and which with a little extra effort -- or even as they were, in some cases -- would have had no trouble going up against many of their best commercial rivals -- as many of them in fact eventually did, and to a stunning effect. -- So that's what the doujin scene has given us, and let's now see: what has the Western indie scene given in its turn? Can anyone name even a single title that gets anywhere near the ones I just randomly rattled off? Worse: can anyone name even a single Western indie game that does not bore the experienced gamer to death within the first few minutes?

>>7448804
did you lose weight while waiting in line?

>>7448802
Who is starting what? You're the one greentexting for no reason.

>>7448809
Why would I need to wait in line to sit in my room at the computer? I watched it online.

>>7448801

>And you clearly haven't even read a word Alex has written, otherwise you'd have known that he makes a distinction between indie (i.e. Western) and doujin (i.e. Japanese) games.

It's not CARTOONS mom, it's ANIME!

>>7448804
I had to stay up late for the sony conf, drank so much coffee I couldn't sleep afterward.
And all of this for pretty much nothing, fuck you gaming industry.

>>7448811
Nah, I've read it before, I just made a conscious decision to forget that I did so. It's healthier.
You want me to list off some genre-progressing indie games? Castle Crashers, ArmA, Garry's Mod (though this is perhaps less of a game as such), Amnesia, DEFCON, Mountain Blade, >>7448821. I could go on.

>>7448804
Oh man, $249 and €250.

>>7448827
It being only $249 really makes the 3DS's price point look bad, given how powerful it is in comparison. I don't really regret buying the 3DS though, I'll have OoT 3D and RE: Mercenaries to play shortly.

Hey guys what will we do with our time when they only make browan shooters and wagglan games

>>7448827

Genealogy already dealt with this nonsense.

>>7448838
Or good games, whatever. That part doesn't matter.

icycalm is hilarious. He isn't even good at the games he writes walls of text about -- who cares what he has to say?

let's look at how the best players in the world are viewed for their respective games.

>chess
cultured, intelligent, attractive, mature, famous, rich, travels around the world, and can easily pride themselves in their work, and others respect them for it
>rts
very famous among gamers, earn a good living, have pride in your work, the community of gamers respect you, travel around playing the game you love, and looked at as a super star in china/south korea respectively
>fps
famous among gamers and even casual gamers who enjoy fps games, decent amount of money, pride that you're a professional and get a paycheck for gaming, and lots of travel.
>fighters
not well respected or known, usually looked down on by the gaming community because it's not a respected e-sport, community is mexicans, flips, and blacks entirely almost, tournaments don't get you money and it's basically just a hobby not a profession, but you have friends and get to enjoy the games.
>shmup
spend all your time playing single player games against ai that doesn't change, you're required to have several disabilities to actually grind and spend the time remembering the patterns for "high scores", no money and there isn't even tournament since it's single player, no pride or even community/friends, and even if you're the most diaper wearing, mouth drooling, autistic person in the world with the highest score you spent the last 5 years of your life getting, no one even congratulations you let alone celebrates it.

>>7448844

I don't know, maybe because he knows more about videogames than anyone else on the planet, and whether or not he's got a higher score than you at whatever babby "indie" game you'er into this week is totally immaterial?

>>7448844

I wish recap still wrote articles.

>>7448845
u just mad case IN easy made your rectum bleed

>>7448847
>I don't know, maybe because he knows more about videogames than anyone else on the planet
Yeah, I'm just gonna go back to greentexting insomnia.ac.

>>7448845

So what you're saying is that people should play games for "fame and respect" amongst casuals and internet tards they'll never meet, rather than out of passion and love of the game? Okay.

>>7448847

Shilling AGAIN? No shame.

>>7448847
get out icycalm, you're just like these pumps from Barkley

>>7448851

Okay !MyonHUTINA, you - some imageboard retard who discovered shmups a year ago and now consider yourself the resident /jp/ expert, lol - know more about games than someone who's been playing them for decades, was infamous on shmups forum before you even found it, has played the games in Akihabara that you now port on your 360, and has spent years developing a great videogame publication, not to mention being published in print -- you, with your greentext and image reactions, you know more than him. Clearly.

>>7448847
>he knows more about videogames than anyone else on the planet
his main focus is on shitty 2d fighters and arcade games from japan? how does that make him the most knowledgeable person about video games when he plays the worst genres possible? pretty sure you're actual whoever that retard is from that website.

having knowledge about japans arcade scene is like having knowledge of dog diarrhea. nothing to brag about, sir.

>>7448858
Never said I knew more about video games than anybody. But because he's played shmups for longer than I have means I have to blindly suck down all of his drivel like you apparently have? A'ight.

>>7448847
He rates shooters 5 stars because they are hardcore -- not because he understands how to play them. -- His reviews contain inaccuracies because of his lack of knowledge and skill -- his opinion isn't worth much. But I know there are a lot of weak-willed individuals who are drawn to people who are loud and confrontational, so he has amassed a bunch of mindless followers -- like yourself.

>>7448763
You have no right to speak about the difficulty of PC games unless you have gotten an ultra ending on the game in my picture.

>>7448811
What the fuck? He didn't say a single word about VVVVVV, then gave it a low score.

>>7448860

Except some of the highest rated games on insomnia are neither 2D nor Japanese... but you know what... why bother? I've noticed these arguments are always kind of like arguing for the merits of Shakespeare with people who've never read Hamlet... you know?

Which is to say that if you haven't read every single page of insomnia, you do not understand it and therefore have no valid ground to criticise it on. This isn't the IGN/GameFAQs you're used to, there is no space for the "overview" you fatasses cling on to so much: you read it all or you may as well shut the fuck up because nothing you say will be anything but drivel.

I'm always happy at a chance to exercise my reaction image collection on /jp/. Thanks for this.

>>7448874

That doesn't even make sense. If you're implying that sentence is incorrect all you're saying is that you are happy to be ignorant and talk about things you have no knowledge of. Umm... okay?

>>7448872
I just like prodding brain dead platform warriors.

How many people have gotten an "ultra end" in ADOM? How many people have cleared the Ura loop in Ketsui? The world may never know.

>>7448868
that's some extreme trolling in that post. you nearly had me, but you went too far with comparing classic literature to his reviews about video games. i think classic literature is shit anyway.

>>7448885

I made an analogy, but the analogy was not between Alex and Shakespeare, as I anticipated some retard would guess so you could come back with "LMAO >IMPLYING ALEX IS SHAKSPER?//"

With those analytical skills it's no wonder insomnia goes over your head.

>>7448887

To clarify:

>I've noticed these arguments are always kind of like arguing for the merits of Shakespeare with people who've never read Hamlet... you know?

"these arguments" meaning "the merits of insomnia". Do you see now? It's not even to do with the content of Alex and Shakespeare (lol), which wouldn't actually make any sense as a comparison since one is a fiction writer and the other non-fiction.

>>7448868
>the merits of Shakespeare
But Shakespeare sucks.
Oh, alas! Had only the writers of fiction, those who feed the soul with joy, elevated meaning above sumptuous parlance, would not our tales engross us so much more?

Picture related: This is how you get fiction that's actually enjoyable to read.

until you've read all of timecube.com you are fucking sheep

>>7448887
sorry, babby; but i knew it was an analogy. using an analogy about classic literature to demonstrate your argument for some clown who writes poor reviews only shows you're trolling. you already called this clown the most knowledgeable person in the world about games, and afterwards went on to make an analogy about shakespeare.

way too obvious. you need to be more subtle with your obnoxious statements if you want people to believe you're serious. i first though you were just a shall promoting your website, but now you're just using a hot button topic to troll.

i looked his reviews and his site isn't even put together correctly so i can see his pc reviews strictly, but just glancing over them he's got horrible taste and is a typical console playing peasant retard casual.

I tried watching the conferences but I couldn't take it anymore. I waited hours for the sony conference to see something of The Last Guardian but Uncharted was the point where I pretty much quit. I don't even know if it was even discussed, can't find anything about it.

>>7448865

King of Weeaboos, do you have enough em dashes?

>Which is to say that if you haven't read every single page of insomnia, you do not understand it and therefore have no valid ground to criticise it on.

And I'm sure "he" completes all the games he plays before criticizing them, right? Oh wait he can't even 1-loop DoDonPachi lol

>>7448901

You're clinging onto the 'classical literature' thing too much, which is what I anticipated (because retards will always think along those lines -- "omg u r comparin him 2 shakespeare/cervantes/dickens? WTF r u on?"). The analogy is not between Alex and Shakespeare, the analogy is between their respective audiences.

The Shakespeare thing was simply what came to mind first. You could do it with any writer -- for instance, reword it as:

"I've noticed these arguments are always kind of like arguing for the merits of Stephen King with people who've never read The Shining... you know?"

You're getting caught up in an autistic detail and missing the actual point, which is that if you haven't read the highest-esteemed works of a particular author you have no authority in critiquing them. This is hardly a controversial point, is it?

>but just glancing over them

Rightio.

>typical console playing

Nope.

>>7448915
>single player
>thinks i give a shit what anyone says about them
keep trying. unless it's multiplayer it might as not exist. playing those in my childhood was enough. once i grew it i realize they're shit, and only complete casual and autistic manchildren continue playing them. if you play single player you're playing casually so it doesn't even matter, or you're trying to be "hardcore" and you're an autistic retard manchild.
