It would have been if not for the presence of The Sims Social and its apparent goal of destroying all that is civilization.

I don't think motion controller stuff is inherently bad if you define 'good' and 'bad' from an objective standpoint of, for example, technological research and development, or some esoteric long-term qualifier like "Motion controlling will get more casual gamers into gaming and that's good because X." Heck I'm sure a game's already been made that is objectively awesome within the parameters of utilizing motion technology.

...It's just not for me. And insofar as I'm bitter at Microsoft and (possibly) Sony, it's not an objective bitterness of them being terrible people, it's a subjective bitterness at them no longer appearing to concentrate highlighting games that I want to play in a manner that I want to play them. None of my comments were intended to seriously suggest, melodramatically or otherwise, that Sony and Microsoft were making objectively horrific errors by doing so -- this could lead them to make fantastic profits, or lead to growth in the industry. I'm just not a fan, and that led me to be disappointed in Microsoft's E3 and hopeful that Sony wouldn't fall into the same habit and spend a majority of its conference promoting the heck out of the Move.

...Because objectively speaking, Microsoft actually spent something like more than 75% of its conference talking about Kinect features and Kinect functionality, and even if you like motion control stuff, I don't feel that's a healthy percentage.

But you should totally be ignoring my stupidity and having fun at E3, because you are in fact at E3.

They focus on it a lot because it is new, they have to push it and sell it.

Regular controller technology doesn't have to be sold, it sells itself and has been and will continue to.

edit: Anyway, I demand Super Mario RPG 3DS

If I am going to burn my eyes in their sockets, I want to do it playing the best goddamn RPG game I have ever played. In a blaze of glory.

Square couldn't make a good SMRPG anymore. They've gone on record stating that they'd like to make another one and have it starring a ton of FF characters, which would absolutely ruin it.

FUCK YOU UBISOFT FUCK YOU FUCKING FUCK SHIT

Was in line for their press conference. Most EVERYONE in line still wasn't inside. Most of the line had written confirmations from Ubisoft for attending the press conference. After making us wait in line for thirty minutes while they got their shit together, they told us "Sorry, we're at capacity. That's just the way it is."

that is why it would be a remake of the original, ala Ocarina 3D

As before, Ubisoft wins the award for worst goddamn E3 conference.

So every conference [so far?] has basically sucked, E3 basically sucks [so far?].

I tried really hard to be interested in the EA conference, but damn. It was all just pre-rendered bullshit. I sat there making jokes the whole time. Like...

The Old Republic: "Just play it, get lost in it, live in it."

In your second year in a row of pre-rendered video, that has nothing at all to do with the however many thousands of people working on this game? Or did you have some more latency-strapped combat to show me?

Seriously, all pre-rendered crap!

What? The BF3 was gameplay? Holy FU-

Any reasons besides you not getting in? 'Cause they showed quite a lot of neat stuff, like a new Rayman game that's actually Rayman, not rabbids. And that Farcry game looked neat and very pretty. And then there was Assassins Creed. Plus, almost everything except their exercise games was an actual demo being played live on stage as opposed to the pre-rendered stuff from EA.

Is it because of the guitar game?

On the bright side, you really didn't miss much. (But actually yeah that really sucks and you should raise some hell about it.)

EDIT: I basically agree with NonCon, Ubisoft's was the worst yet. Even leaving aside the games themselves for a moment, that comedian performer had so many unbearable cringe-worthy moments, and even at least one or two offhand comments that I felt were brazenly sexist. I'm shocked a random woman in the audience didn't boo him off the stage after the "Wii" joke, which also has the misfortune of being incredibly stale anyway.

(Forty percent of gamers are women! Let's show them our wiis! UUGGGGHHHH)

Only worthwhile game introduced was Assassin's Creed. I suppose Far Cry 3 could be okay but I honestly wasn't terribly impressed by it -- the undertones of racism combined with the fact that it honestly looked worse than Just Cause 2 despite also portraying a tropical island pretty much sealed that deal. And every other game was just...ugh. They ranged from mediocre to horrifyingly awful.
