love E3 every year, good marker to show we made it through the first half of the year, all the cool news that comes out, the cock ups on stages and the awkward bs is funny too, yeah i think i will always enjoy E3 as long as you dont go into it expecting the world you'll always be entertained

Interesting result actually, i thought i was going to be in the minority with a titanfall 2 vote, turns out that's not the case, well awesome more people to play TF2 with.

TF2 because, - maxed rank in TF1, love the mobility, harkend back to the old school movment, with the extra addition on wall running but now with grapple hooks jet packs and more, sign me up,

I've got like 3 sides of my personality arguing now,

1, the childish immature side, basically it's saying Really ? that's your launch price why don't you just charge 1k for it because it really now makes no difference to the majority of people who wanted one, £500 or $600 are they for real ? NOT INCLUDING SHIPPING really ? that's what you got, remember the ps3 launch pricing where no one clapped and most people thought there must have been a mistake, right guys? that's a mistake right ?

and they want that much and more for a peripheral there not selling platform at the end of the day their selling a peripheral, all right yeah it could be a freaking good one but how would most of us know that we can't afford that price to find out,

2 My mature Business side of the brain, i can see that that is probably a price they feel they can make money back on whilst being a low as possible, still its making the Rift a pretty exclusive club, and admission is pretty steep if you have the computer for it, and early adopters always pay more.

3 The Gamer side, which is saying so you want £500 & $600 (Not including shipping) ok fine, take the xbox pad out, take the games out what does that make it, ? are their any other options for people that don't want pay that much but are still willing to get their wallet out but besides that 2 games come with it lucky's tale and EVE but what about after that , that's a lot for 2 lets call them first party games for now. how long until that money because a bad investment because of waiting for more games to come, and sure you could get loads of indie stuff from their store but you still gotta pay for all that 2, where are the games ?

anyway needed to get that off the old chest,

i will admit most of that is my childish I WANT ONE and can't afford it side of the brain but im still pretty convinced my other arguments make a point, still i will have to wait and see how all you guys who do get one find it,

So most of us by now will have heard of the Rift Cost for pre ordering one, (not including shipping apparently)

i didn't realise they were so promiant on here, can't say i remeber there being loads of adds, but it's been a while since i looked at the site as a non subber, i dont doubt your right though, i guess you have to pay the bills either way now that i think about it, but it wasn't really just the adds themselves it was the story about how the site came to be that most satisfied me

So I've not been a bomber that long, I've always listened to the podcast but i thought i was just a pod cast until i googled them (no idea why it never dawned on me to do it sooner. anyway so after looking up who was who and matching the names to the voices i come across how giant bomb actually cam to be,

I'm sure most already know how the site actually come to be so no one needs a history lesson from me. especially as there are probably more knowledgeable and smart people here and have been for some time,

but once i come around to finding out how Jeff G come to building this site along with others from games spot it made me realize that i can actually trust the views an opinions of the people here who I've spent the last 2+ years listening too, there was always something in the way discussions are made that just DOESN'T reek of being scripted bs that corporate demanded.

in-fact it reaffirmed my decision to subscribe to giant bomb and makes me feel like i haven't been given them money for them to just keep funding, it feels like its for a good cause, don't get me wrong i still enjoy visiting sites like IGN and Gamespot but you really do get tiered of the add all over the pages, or ones that pop up and overrun the entire page.

anyway thanks for all you do GB

I totally want resodient evil 7. But a couple of caviats

1 reboot. Forget the tangaled lore thats totally FUBAR.

2 return to horror. This is possible becuase of umbrella corps. If they leave the action horror to that re7 can return to its roots.

I hope that after the moderate success of re remake and RE0 HD likely success they now have an idea what the fans actually want.

Well thats what i would love to happen
