I remember thinking that the conference was going pretty good, and then they spent a full 4 minutes between saying ShootMania, and showing it. 4 LONG AWKWARD minutes of terribly (scripted?) banter and introductions to 7 "eSports Legends" that had never seen nor heard of. Then they showed ShootMania, and somehow it got more confusing. Nothing against the game, honestly, but they almost had to have tried to make it show that poorly. Plus, the showed nothing that made it Shoot MANIA, all I saw was "shoot."
The Just Dance opening was... painful to watch. Not that it was extremely bad, it was just wholly uninteresting. I understand that it's a money-maker, so go ahead, so a trailer, talk numbers, whatever you need to do to serve your stock-holders. However, that "performance" was a REALLY bad way to start your conference: Flo' Rida's indifference was so palpable, he would have turned his own die-hard fans. From a Lay-man's perspective, the dancing was uninteresting and seemed emotionally empty. I'm not asking for some deep emotional journey, but smile like a human being, not a robot.
Aside from what I mentioned above, most of the games looked great and I honestly thought it was a good showing. If only they could have presented it a little better
