Hate: Microsoft's E3
The Wrath | 4:28 PM on 07.18.2008 57 comments


Microsoft’s E3 keynote was, by far, the best E3 keynote in the history of E3 keynotes. Here’s a breakdown:

Avatars (thank Nintendo first, then Sony)

New Dashboard w/ channels! (refresh making it look not as shitty when compared to the customization of the XMB, thank Nintendo for the channels)

Game installs- 20GB users are pleased as punch to buy an overpriced $60GB or 120GB drive (and installs are now WELCOMED, go figure)

Live Party! (thank Sony and Home) 8 player photo share and Netflix video sharing (don't forget the netflix subscription!) Too bad your Live subscription doesn't cover both.

Uno Rush- Uno with...AVATARS!!...stay exclusive

Galaga Too Late- Same as most XBLA games, rehashed 10yrs too late...stay exclusive

Portal Still Alive- stand alone game with added levels. Nevermind a sequel

Fallout 3- PS3 game

RE5- PS3 game

FF13- PS3 game

Fable 2- It’s mediocre Fable. The equivalent of a LAIR sequel

Gears of War 2- looked epic...

You’re in the Movies- LOL

Lips (thank Sony) Singstar clone that lets you import your own music, minus the lyrics

I'll post more updates as soon as Nintendo and Sony do something Microsoft needs to copy.



Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

Wow, a blog from Wrath with the title "Hate"

You may commence with the racial slurs now.

If someone does something right I see no reasons why it shouldn't be copied! We would be no were with technology if this didn't happen.

I'm glad the Sony copied MS on the in game XMB as that is nice to have.

Yes, forced installs are not the most appealing method to release games.
<i>20GB users are pleased as punch to buy a larger drive if they own more than 10 games with mandatory installs.</i>

Optional installs are optional.



This just in, Mii's are ripoffs of THE SIMS!

Oh c'mon, we already knew exactly what you would say anyway so why bother?

Judging by your comments and posts on anything Microsoft related my professional opinion is there is some kind of supressed memory at work here involving an Xbox touching you inappropriately.

I didn't know Fallout was a PS3 game, I thought it was a simultaneously announced multiplatform sequel to a PC franchise.

On a serious note: Avatars are the suck, though... I hope to hell they're optional and not forced.

Quite accurate, MS do seem to have a lack of originality recently despite their previous record.
Main thing that was really original to me was Geometry Wars 2. Which is a sequel and a more full blown version of the game in the last PGR, which the original on XBOX featured Geometry Wars as a minigame. Waaaaait a minute...
Also, that 'You're in the Movies' was hillarious.
For all the wrong reasons.
AKA.People running with elastic attached to clown pants, on stage...what 'fun'.

You do know you can just erase the installed game off of the hard drive when you're done with it, right? You just can install it for whatever game you're playing heavily at the time and you'll have plenty of space on the 20gb. Also, it's not like the games won't work without the installation.

Hold on! I didn't read that bit about Fable 2!
Thats bloody wrong!
That Dashboard update is really a copy-a-thon. Not that mind; but maybe 'You're in the Movies' and 'Lips' shown at the same time was a little bit blatantly obvious.

Also Wrath, people are excited about OPTIONAL installs that will improve game performance and speed up load times. When people are faced with MANDATORY installs on a $600 console just so their Blu-Ray drive can be comparable in speed to a DVD drive, that\'s when people dislike the installs.

Totally. Bit of an overload in that conference.

@DANMARTIGAN
...Apparently your blog says you're 'Laym'. maybe using Home could help you be less of that and socialise more and understand that people don't like numerous rude, sarcastic, negative unfunny comments and it could possibly make you form an open mind, karma and equality and understand the words 'truth' and 'harsh reality'.

And this is what prevents me from buying a PS3. I want to play with a couple of D-toiders (Samit, Shipero, Maxvest, Takeshi) but everytime I see some of the actions that some of Sony fans here at D-Toid take, I cringe. Judging by the manner of your comments and the content of your blogs, I feel that I would be wasting my time playing with you and the others that act like you.

Maybe you guys are kind-hearted souls in real life, but you don't act like that here.

(Schrute Bucks are the property of Dwight K Schrute, they are equivalent to 1/100th of a cent. And I know you want to earn Schrute Bucks)

Seriously though, this is fucking stupid.

I'm frightened by Sony's ingame XMB. Everytime it comes on, theres a slight delay from the machine and a chugging sound, making me feel as though the system will die on me.

I'm really excited about the new Galaga. I just picked up Space Invaders Extreme and its awesome.

I'm all up for free speech, but when people say stuff like these on certain blogs

Thats when I start losing respect for Dtoiders as a whole when comments like the above is mentioned, wherever its the 'internet' or not. I wouldn't even accept this if it was about ANY other console. Just complete, stupid one-sideness like that for no apparent reason. Maybe I'll just stop paying attention to comments like these in future, then it could get better.
Note I didn't use any swearing.

If thats all you know about it, yes it is.
Everyone else I have no problem with, great bunch of open minded people. I'd just like to have a sensible debate without someone saying a swear word on almost every post sent.
I mean no reason for a duel. But what exactly did Sony do to you, did they kill your grandmother with a lawn chair? Why are you only praising 360 and having a go at every other system? That is because over the few last days it is clear to see you are a indeed as much as a 'fanboy' as the guy who made this blog post and indeed, possibly worse than me.
Just pointing this out.

Now I'm going to play some PS3 and 360, laters.

For some reason I always think Dtoiders are all 20+ in age, but then I see blogs like this and realize that probably isn't the case. And even if the wrath isn't 15 like I'm guessing he is, his arguments/"humor" are that of a 15 year old.
