I think it was the worse it could have been, imo.  That was embarrassing.

Well it certainly could have been way better. Maybe 5/10 was generous.

I'm looking forward to 4 of their games, NFS, A Way Out, BF2 and Anthem. Hyped to see more!

Okay yeah thinking back, the lack of gameplay and too much talking makes it more like a 4/10.

A Way Out looks great and hopefully Anthem's gameplay is great, but not showing BF2 single player was dumb and I usually get NFS games but then realize it's nothing I want to play.

Now let's hope MS's conference is not 2 hours of talking and cringe shame like this.

Horrible conference, but for an EA conference I think it's 8/10.

They did a good job of not showing dev teasers of games. Anthem is the only thing they talked about that could be far away, and even still they bothered with a proper trailer.

Ironically I was watching a match on sky sports as they were showing all their snoozefest sports shame.  

Paid attention for bf2 which was super hype.  Definitely going to get it.

I had such a stressful time starting this show. I always watch the major conferences on my TV using my laptop.

Well I was setting it up an hour in advance but the battery was dead so I decided to turn it off and give it some time to charge.

Then 10 minutes before the show I boot it back up and start adjusting the settings but it freezes! Then I force reboot it and start turning on the PS4 as a backup. Nope, PS4 needs to update to 4.7 to use internet. I start installing that update while I'm fighting my laptop.

At this point the show is already started. PS4 comes back but youtube needs an update too! So I abort and go back to laptop. Get that set up and on the youtube stream, but the quality is horrible! Even at 240p it keeps dropping every few seconds.

Finally towards the end of BF1 stuff it starts normalizing and I can watch.

That is hilariously ironic.

Sounds like a EA game experience

Scripted and cringey?

Those guys were awful. EA needs to cut that shame out.

This is really what EA and Ubisoft conferences feel like to me.

Yeah they're a completely different format.

Only Sony and Microsoft properly feel like e3
