If E3 Was Like Highschool

"With all the rumors, backstabbing, parties, and secret hook-ups, E3 is already kind of like High School. But what if E3 really was a High School. I think the social cliques would look a little something like this."

Just not as good of a production..
I like the concept,.. but IGN should have put more effort into this..way to much generalization.

Note that many of the folk on this board wasn't around to enjoy the greatness of the School House Rocks shorts (70s - very early 80s).

Take this as an invitation to check them out!

If E3 was a high school;

Nintendo would be a fat or very skinny but funny and nerdy kid.

Microsoft would be a bully that keeps attacking everyone but gets kicked in the a** in the end.

Sony would be the rightgeous kid who keeps everyone safe from bullies.

Tomdc5062d ago

i think your coming off pretty fan-boyish there blacktric

Blacktric5062d ago

I though everyone who bashes 360 were stupid Sony fanboys 3 days ago. Now I know why they are like their console and Sony so much. My eyes are opened. Call me a fanboy, idiot, biased or whatever you like. I got my 360 for a year now and I bought more than 10 retail games thousands of points and a year of live subscription and I got nothing worthy in return. I got kicked countless times from games I've been playing without doing anything bad. I've paid 50 dollars for a year just to be able to play online but they couldn't even gave me that. Sony came out with PSN+ and now they're giving 4 games every month, Qore, exclusive discounts and a free copy of Little Big Planet with the purchase of 1 year PSN+ subscription. And after reading this you are still thinking I'm biased. Put yourself in my shoes and think again please. Only thing I wanted from Microsoft is to be able to give me what they promised. Nothing more. And they couldn't even do that at E3 this year.

I see Sony fanboys sometimes as the rich snobby kids who think they are better than everyone because of all the shiny cool things they have that cost alot. They are often seen telling the nintenkids to get the hot new toy but when they say they cant afford it, the Sony guys say that people should save their allowance to buy it. The nintenkids would be annoying running around all hyper with Haadd. They really only care about having fun, not whats cool. Then you have the Microsofts. They would be the kids that really try really hard to be like the cool rich kids but still friends with all the nintenkids. They do neither exceptionally well but they seem to be the most adept at social networking.

Tomdc5062d ago

i have no problem with good reasons why people prefer a particular console but random stereotyping like this is just pointless and quite obviously wrong

Microsoft fans would be the stuck up cool kids.
Sony fans would be the hypocritical students in between.
Nintendo fans are the freshman.

iceman065062d ago

I see the resemblance to School House Rock. The art style is very similar, I guess. I was around for the original School House Rock....as well as the attempt to revive it (short lived, but some cool bands were invited). Gotta say that it was infinitely more educational than kid focused television today...except for maybe Sesame Street (which still uses clips from the 60's, 70's, and 80's).

On topic: Why are people so serious about an obvious attempt at satire. Sure, for some it could have missed the mark...but man...do we have to be so anal about our choice of developer or console!?!?

Christopher5062d ago

I take it as a good thing that BioWare are the D&D Dorks :)

Convas5062d ago (Edited 5062d ago )

... Xbots would've been lynched on Monday after MS's Press Conference.

LOL.

@Nikkisixx2: You fool. I own an Xbox. It's my only console and I love mine. I'm saying that We (Xbots) would've been beat the crap up in the hallways because certain factions among us trolled all year long about how huge Kinect was going to be.

Don't get me wrong. I enjoyed the first 30% of MS Presser, I was underwhelmed by the selection of games, but thoroughly enjoyed it nonetheless. But I tolerated the last 50% up to the Xbox 360 S announcement.

@Midgard: We literally do have ONE new Exclusive game. Perhaps you weren't paying attention. It's called Codename Kingdoms.

midgard2275062d ago (Edited 5062d ago )

nooo ur an idiot if u think their confrence was good. u didnt learn about 1 new exclusive, just some crap that they cnt even show a live demo of with out pre-recording.

seriously, if u only own an xbox u shud be sad because the only exclusive games u know r coming are the same ones u knew about a year ago :/

and if im wrong plz, tell me one new game u learned of

nikkisixx25061d ago

I wasn't commenting on whether or not the MS was good, I was just saying your an idiot to your phrase.

hamoor5062d ago

If Microsoft was a high school student then it will be the one who invited everyone to a party and promised that it will be the best and he fails and the party blows......that is how I see Ms in e3 10

Mr_Bun5062d ago

MS would invite everyone to a "Kegger" but only offer O'douls

Christopher5061d ago

I knew anything about alcoholic beverages, I bet I'd find that funny :p

waterboy5062d ago

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY off subject, but i hope Eat Sleep Play makes twisted metal like old times with the codes in the game like napalm and ice and infinite specials and so and so and a ton of weapons and vehicles to unlock

since in this current day games dont have codes anymore

hamoor5062d ago (Edited 5062d ago )

"Don't have codes anymore"
Yep you're right...now we got paid dlc for what is actually in the game

midgard2275062d ago

nah no more codes, prbly just dlc lol. JK

dunno rockstar still has codes, as does resonance of fate and bayonetta, and tomb raider so u never know :) *note how they are only offline games, online cheats wud be annoying lol

waterboy5062d ago

Fallout 4's 'next gen' update is over 14 gigs, breaks modded saves, & doesn't change much at all

We were expecting problems with mod support, but there are a lot of other issues.

isarai9h ago

Wow what the actual hell 🤣🤣🤣

just_looken8h ago

This is why you get the GOG version on gog you can select the version of the game to download.

On pc fallout 4 fallout new vegas and skyrim are all broken on steam because they all got the same "next gen" update.

Skyrim dec 2023
https://www.pcgamer.com/sky...

Can not find new vegas but anyone that modded it knows the script extender there was also broken

Valkyrye7h ago

Not accidental, they want modders to stop modding their older games to force them to mod Shitfield.

just_looken5h ago

There doing the same on starfield with a mods store and blocking mods

There goal is like blizzard and what they did with fallout 76 you make mods they can sell and you become a slave.

On skyrim they have "trusted" mod devs now basically a badge that lets your mod on the store you get a crumb of the sale when someone buys it.

Inverno3h ago

lol to the disagrees, the last Skyrim update broke mods too. They've been trying to kill mods to monetize them in creation club for years, it's not a stretch that they purposely put out patches just to break free mods.

porkChop2h ago

The disagrees are from people who have common sense. They aren't trying to kill mods. Most mods for any game will break with a new update because they rely on files/code that have been changed. This isn't new. Even with Bethesda this would happen way before the creation club. Mod support is literally one of the things that got Bethesda to where they are, and they're one of the only devs that releases comprehensive mod tools for each of their games.

Chocoburger3h ago

Over 14 GBs and doesn't change much at all? What? Taking up that much drive space for a pathetic 'remastering' is shameful.

Par for Bethesda.

Aussiesummer2h ago

It's not a remaster, it's a next gen update.

badz1491h ago

LOL people are actually expecting massive improvements or something? From Bethesda?? the same people who released Skyrim multiple times and the all look like shit? THAT Bethesda? are people for real?

Profchaos1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

The ps5 version doesn't change a ton but from my small playtime it's enough to make me want to replay it just to have it running at 60.

A side note to this my PS4 version no longer boots after it's "update" so I guess that's what it feels like to own a Bethesda game on PC

Hopefully Microsoft will go back to the original story line and get away from that woke nonsense from the last Gears game Gears of Woke! But were talking about Microsoft so all the betting money is on more of the same woke nonsense.

Sciurus_vulgaris1h ago

The Locust trilogy concluded with Gears of War 3. I don’t get how Gears 4 and 5 are “woke” .
