I don't get it, the CEO just touched a bit on the Orlando situation in what I thought was a sincere way. It didn't really feel immensely authentic, but it was way better than everyone else just mock sympathizing with some rainbow ribbon imo

Some people think mentioning it at all in a convention promoting games featuring guns is insensitive basically. That and there's basically a couple dozen journalists making GBS threads on E3 right now for even existing.
I think it's fine but the Ubisoft address coming after the Just Dance festival thing really felt dissonant.

Yeah, they were respectful, but that was serious mood whiplash. I expected Reggie to say thank you before the bubbly screen wipe into the Zelda trailer.

My favorite part of those articles is how Slavic peoples apparently don't count for the diversity quota they have running in their broken brains

Sure they may be one of the most persecuted and discriminated groups in European history but I really want to throw a bitch fit about E3 and the Witcher so they're Whitey #507 to me, most likely a self-hating white person

There's still a bit left to it. They still have the last half of the DLC and two(?) more stealthingish areas

No, but a fantasy story which heavily features the themes of racial discrimination, but just uses white non-humans for those themes is uh, let's call it "lacking." Parallels aside, Witcher ISN'T actually set in Northeast Medieval Europe, you can't just act like it's matching historical Slav/German conflicts. Witcher 3 tries to find the balance between the setting (and Sapkowski's hilarious ethnic stereotypes that go with it) and the strongest possible writing but you can't get pissy when people wish their balance didn't largely sit at "well let's just not have them."

Holy poo poo star fox zero is a complete wet fart phone in game, I'm shocked by how little Nintendo tried with this game and how poo poo the controls are. And then they'll stupidly wonder why the game isn't performing.

I don't understand this sentiment because when I first saw the sbfp video on it I thought the controllable shooting was genuinely amazing, then I got to play it for an hour at a friend's house and it's an absolute blast. Do people really don't like having to move your body around a lot to aim or something?

yes, it's dumb but for some reason 'move your body slightly' is apparently an insane demand

It's not about moving your body, the controls are just really awkward to me and hard to get used to, especially for that weird chicken tank thing. It didn't help that between all-range mode and the various vehicles that I felt like I was frequently having to get used to yet another weird control scheme and then switching away from it again before I really got a handle on it.

I'm glad it didn't feel awkard to you and that you enjoyed it, but that was not my experience.
