Will you go to Gamescom this weekend since you live Germany? If I could I would have been there this weekend however I have other stuff to do. But my experience I had 2 years ago was really neat. Me and my friends taking the train to Köln from Brussels at 5 in the morning, placing our caminggear at the Gamescom camp to see a huge line at 9 o'clock. Didn't knew that so many people would go :p thankfully we had early-bird pre-order tickets so we could skip the line for an amazing day.  

 

Believe me, no sane person would go there on weekend! I could've gone there via a technician pass to avoid the queues today but we have too much work to do for Gamescom.

No offense to the youth here but I don't want to stand in a line with 15-yr-olds - I want to go there, look for boothchicks and enjoy new games and consoles but there are so many visitors and loud people I have to say "no!".

Next year I will take this day free once I know when Gamescom will be, perhaps attend to some meetings ;) Also I heard somewhere you can't buy beer at Gamescom this year?! This is a show-stopper for me!

I give you that, it was crowded as hell but still the Sony area with then Uncharted 3, Resistance 3, Payday, Starhawk and a couple of other games were 18+ (only allowed with ID) and therefore not that crowded. I played every game a couple rounds before leaving. I didn't bother trying BF3 of MW3 not until the early evening. Gamescom camp was fun as well where a couple guys connected a N64 to a beamer and everyone was playing Mario Kart late in the evening :p
