After going to E3, I can tell you no game is worth the lineup wait to just to play a couple months earlier. I mean if you feel its worth it to wait 3 hours in line for 10-15 minutes of time for a game coming out in November? then by all means do so.

But really I don't see how great the experience can be playing in a noisy room with 150 people waiting impatiently in line behind you.

Even if you come out of the show saying "I've played a game nobody has played", in three months that nobody will change to hundreds of thousands.

if you want some hands on time with what many consider to be the game of the year you better get there early and be prepared to wait.

Game of the year, and it's been mostly hands-off demos? Sounds a bit presumptuous to me. You could just as well say <insert unreleased game here> is the GOTY.

I really wish I lived close enough to go to PAX, seems like the best thing ever.

Eville1 says SKUse me a sec.

wow PAX was alrady going to be awesome but this just made it... whats better than awesome?

solosith

My manager got to play Fallout 3 yesterday at a Game Crazy exclusive convention in Vegas. He simply said it was awesome, and considering that was the only text I got from him the entire week he has been there I'd say it must have been really really good. I simply can't wait for this game. Sadly I will now have to wait to play Deadspace since they are both set to come out at the same time.

Did Gilliam do "12 Monkeys"? Everyone says what an awesome director he is, but the only thing I've seen is "Brothers Grimm," which I wouldn't exactly consider a great film.

Oh, and Fallout 3: meh.

my Amazon pre-ordered Special Edition bundle simply can NOT come soon enough XD

@ShadowFFVI:

youve never been to PAX have you? cause the lines there are the shortest ever, except for the first day line waiting on friday, you only see 2-3 people waiting for games.

solosith

@peAr nectAr: hey, i liked Brothers Grimm. it's much better on the second viewing. the only thing i really didn't like was, oddly enough, the CGI. oh, and Lena Headey! how could i forget that she was in that? i love her.

12 Monkeys, however, is one of the very few movies during which i have fallen asleep.

geekgrrl

@peAr nectAr: Gilliam is fucking brilliant. Brothers Grimm was a POS. Watch Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Brazil. And hopefully, one day, one beautiful glorious day he'll direct Good Omens (Pratchett and Gaiman) with Johnny Depp as Crawley

i love the pic for this story!

PAX, Fallout 3, and a Bruce Willis film? Seattle must be Heaven this weekend.

12 monkeys reference ftw!

Haha...the real Gabe and Tycho do indeed look like Willis and Pitt in that picture :)

R0ark

@Eville1 says SKUse me a sec.: Oh yeah, I've seen "Fear and Loathing." Duh. I didn't realize he directed it though. And most everyone tells me to see "Brazil," so I guess it's about high-time I did that.

@geekgrrl: I didn't say I hated it, I just said I didn't think it was that "great," and left it open for interpretation. I do remember the CGI being lackluster, but admittedly I am a fan of both Heath Ledger and Matt Damon, so that was a treat to see them together.

peAr nectAr

If I was going to PAX I wouldn't even glance at this game. But then again, i'm not going to PAX

Eon.

@StupidDufus: Members of the press have gotten to play hands-on before. Fahey played for a half hour at e3. [kotaku.com]

This is just the first time the public gets a chance to play.

waywardchemist

I have only heard good things about this game since the media got some hands on time a while back. And by good I mean phenomenal, especially after Fallout 3 stole the show at E3.

Prior to E3, I wasn't interested in this game at all. Then I got to see the little demo they ran during Microsoft's press conf and I can actually pinpoint the exact moment I went from "meh" to "OMG SWEET TITTIES!! I Can't wait for this one!"

FACT: Bruce Willis has the ability to blow bubbles out of his back.

@peAr nectAr: You probably won't like Brazil the first time you see it. It barely makes sense and has some god awful weird visuals. Just give it time. :D

Eville1 says SKUse me a sec.

1) I knew...KNEW...Bethesda was going to go public with Fallout 3 at PAX. One of my main reasons for going. I'm f'n thrilled that, in theory, I might get a chance to get my hands on it for a few.

2) 2 days ago, I sawr a tanker that could haul that right. You wanna get out a here? Tawlk to me.

Bruce Willis with a PipBoy and VATS. Unstoppable.

That would be the best Planet Hollywood restauraunt opening EV-AH.

Can't wait for my copy.

I don't want to be picky, but I'm not interested in traveling all the way to a con to play a game that comes out in October. Give me Christmas - Q1 2009 at least!

Looks like the folks at PAX are gonna have plenty of fun

Norrin_Radd

I'm already trying to figure out how I'm going to find time to play this...

Oh what am I saying? BLOODY MESS! *boom boom boom*

PAX...is...AWESOME>

Rebochan

@Eville1 says SKUse me a sec.: As much as I am completely insane about Pratchett and Gaiman, Good Omens fell far short of the mark. Gilliam is a god though. Even when he fails at a movie it's glorious. See: Lost in La Mancha.
