Ehhh, everyone was pretty sub par as is usually the case so to that end, I vote Ubisoft because at least their car crash conferences are in some way watchable because you want to see what nonsense they'll come out with next. That and Watch Dogs created a lot of hype and that was fun to see people reacting to. Kind of why I still love E3,. it sucks for the most part but it's one of the rare occasions in gaming where you have a live reaction to a big announcement rather than just reading it leaked on a gaming blog.

On the MS front, unlike some people who are like 'WHERE IS THE NEXTBOX' or 'WHERE THE GAMES, M$?! I NO WANT KINECT!' I'm used to MS not really having anything of note so stuff like SmartGlass was a pleasant surprise. The Last of Us looks good on Sony's side too.

The games looked great, though.I never watched, just saw all the trailers and stuff on here. Something tells me I made the right choice though lol
The Machine MRG - 1513 in favour and 3 against. Couldn't be any clearer, Argentina. Now stop whinging

I was hugely unimpressed with Microsofts Presentation. They need to think about using the money they wasted on that prick dancing around the stage, thinking he is Michael Jackson, on some actual game development

Microsoft really needs to step it up. While the start of the conference was solid, it went downhill fairly quickly. However, at least there were no laughing and playing children on stage, because that was just plain awkward last year.

Ubisoft by far. Watch Dogs was definitely the highlight of the show for me. I agree the dialogue between the hosts was a bit forced, but from working in a theatre, I know that it's difficult to hear what's happening on stage when you are backstage. I reckon it would have been better with just Toby Turner hosting (and maybe a secret Assassins Creed III Literal Trailer!!)
Feel free to PM me about the GTA IV walkthrough, or any problems you're having with the game.
Obsidian Rocker - Is it just me or is Max Payne 3 shit fucking hard?

If you value your sanity, don't watch the actual conference. Just watch the trailers.

Ubisoft by far.
I missed Sony and Nintendo but what i've heard there wasn't much things that interested me.

I voted for Ubisoft because of Watch Dogs, this game looks really unique! EA definitely was hot too, looking forward to Crysis 3, NFS Most Wanted, MOH, and Dead Space!

I'm going to say Nintendo, as I said I never watched any of them, but from previous years it's always been Nintendo that really made me look forward to something.

facepalm back at you.
That particular company has never let me down from in the areas I've always looked forward to, MS and the others have.
facepalm because the poll asks what you thought the best conference was so far this year for E3. If you never watched any of them, you shouldn't vote in a poll that asks which one you enjoyed most because you can't give an honest opinion, lol.

I voted Ubisoft because I'm so hyped for Watch_Dogs(sp?), and wasn't for much else tbh. SmartGlass is a cool concept.

I was looking forward to Ubisoft the most before the start of E3 (because of Assassin's Creed III), and I think they had the best conference by far (again, because of Assassin's Creed III, though Watch Dogs bears um, watching).

No one else really came close. Especially the consoles. I don't want new gadgets and apps... just show me the games.
