Justin11 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 I follow-up news about convention and events around gaming. At Gamespot, their are much said about gaming news and events coming up. Elsewhere, like YouTube, I get notifications of gaming news, due to gaming channels I'm subscribed to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m76 Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 I used to follow them very closely, but not recently. They went downhill, in the past few years, so they are not very interesting. Especially with many publishers just doing their own online events where they show off their upcoming titles separately. The game awards has just became like the oscars which I haven't been following since the 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Family sedan Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 I use VGR and YouTube to learn about games and gaming. I feel like I'm served well by both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between both of them which one do you pay more attention to? I think I spend more time here than on YouTube, both are instrumental when it comes to getting quality information around gaming.

Family sedan Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 I spend more time on VGR learning about gaming. I spend tons of time on YouTube looking at racing, music and sports stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 It seems that VGR and YouTube are your own platform were you source for information in all niches and not just gaming, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Family sedan Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Yeah. YouTube and cable news are my window to the world. My local news depresses me because I live near crime ridden Washington, D.C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Honestly, I don't pay a lot of attention to them nowadays because most of them aren't very interesting. For instance, E3 has become a crapfest - I'm glad it was cancelled this year. I hope it remains that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head_Hunter Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 For the fact it turned crap, that was one of the reasons why the convention was scrapped for the year, and rescheduled to take place next year (2023). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 None at all, to be honest. I just rely on social media and gaming sites like this to keep me updated on new releases and game updates. The only time I watch a game event is when there are rumours of a big reveal like a Rockstar Games title or like when Sony was about to unveil the PS5.

Withywarlock Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 None whatsoever. Hype does nothing for me unless I'm at a physical event, and until the general hygiene and air conditioning improves at these kinds of things, I'm in no rush to go again.

That's how it should be, their is no need rushing, even if their is hype, go at the proper time. Their is no time that one wouldn't catch-up with this gaming conventions in the future. I love doing things at the convenient time, and not something making me to rush. Withywarlock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been to E3 once and it wasn't so bad but I agree with you about the ventilation and personal hygiene factor. It's amazing that you have to tell grown adults to shower before coming to a convention. Withywarlock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
