It should be clear to everyone that, having four or five of such conferences a year, one cannot announce "boatloads of super games" at every instance, because there simply aren't that many. What interest me more is the flow of the event, all the speakers and how they well prepared (and rehearsed) their stuff and interact with each other. Granted, the longer an event, the less likely the even would be rehearsed as a whole. From the start, a is more in danger of becoming a sequential number show the longer it is planned. In that regard, I was amazed on how many presenters were amateurish, to put it mildly. Some still think that it is "cool" to appear in an unwashed t-shirt and worn-out shoes. No, you are not talking to a bunch of kids, you are talking to a world-wide audience of mostly adults - because of streams, internet etc. Then come the presenters who always have an urgent desire to self-applaud every sentence they utter and laugh into nothingness (I'm thinking of you, hopeless woman) when they realize basically no one starts to applaud. Then come the presenters who have to constantly remind the audience how absolutely great the show is - despite realizing that the public isn't actually enthusiastic about what is just going on. I was also amazed about the VR head-honcho guy who rightfully explains that it is almost impossible to demo VR on a stage - and then goes on to prove the very fact nonetheless, in probably the worst way possible. Granted I can't really see doing that, either. But immersing the audience in a lengthy circa 1974 cga graphics demo probably isn't too clever. So on a presenter scale, I'd give that event a 3/10. The stuff shown as mostly good, though. |
Yeah, I know that I watch my porn always for the story and how the actors are able to portray their character and how much cgi was used.
