Hello everyone, GamesByte here with a full coverage on the Ubisoft conference.
Are you wondering if the Ubisoft conference was as stupid as last years (SPOILER ALERT: Almost) or are you genuinely interested in what Ubisoft had to show for 2011?
GamesByte is going to be running full coverages of all the conferences, complete with actual gameplay clips along with our thoughts and opinions of the entire thing.

I stopped watching at Robot Unicorn Attack and realized you really had nothing to say about the conference and both sounded extremely bored then you go and put some old and tired reference for no reason in there.

Well I'm sorry to hear you say that. However I'd have to disagree with us having nothing to say about the conference, but I guess some people define "having something to say" differently.
neat

I have to agree with him though, you weren't really into any of the games there, and your comments were usually something in the lines of "It's fine i guess". You don't need to go into so much detail when it's a summary, but many of the things you said were pretty bland.

Well i think that if someone doesn't really like a game or has a negative opinion on something that it should be okay to state that. No harm done. Not all of it was negative anyway, there was positive. Like Rayman, Assassins Creed & Ghost Recon. Anyway ;) Its hard to really get into Dancing games, fitness games and well, whack a mole type games isn't it?

Maybe you should change that "we" to "I" because your friend here thinks all feedback should be positive.

Well you didn't go into detail about why you thought a game was good or bad, just whether you thought it was so.
But the real problem is that you said nothing informative about the games you were so called "overviewing".
For instance with Rayman, all that was said about it was that it had co-op and even then not what type of co-op (local only? online? required? seperate levels?) and if that stuff wasn't announced then say that it wasn't. You were more interested in telling us that you played Rayman when you were younger and that this one looks good. But because I'm not a stalker of you guys, it doesn't mean much to me as a viewer.
"A bunch of different mechanics" doesn't really cut it for an overview.
Then same with Driver, saying how you played the older games and this doesn't interest you. Well great, but why doesn't it interest you? and what was it that you liked in the older games that are missing out of this one? Or maybe they're in but just doesn't work anymore because you've already played them? Your opinion is encouraged; it doesn't need to be all info, but a simple "I like/dislike this" is pointless.
Then saying it's a racing game and mentioning Gran Turismo and Need For Speed. Really? Not cool. What was even announced or demonstrated at the conference? You guys didn't tell me at all.
With Brothers in Arms you almost started to comment on why it looked different to the other games by mentioning that they were authentic tactical shooters and this looked like an over the top arcade game, but then the other half goes and says the exact same thing but with no reason as to why they look different. Was all they showed that CG trailer? I don't know, you didn't say what they announced.
You put way too much effort into promoting your videos instead of just making them good and allowing people to naturally come to your channel and appreciate you more. If you tone that shit down ("rate, comment & subscribe, you braindead zombie") and actually provide useful information then you could probably do a good job.
Your OP looks like you're talking business partners and investors. Be human, we are.
To address "anothermartz"
Well okay, lemme just say that firstly our goal was to provide a summary of all the conferences that were shown at E3, some games and some events had a lot of appeal to me and wulff, and some don't. Clearly this video shows our more negative side to some of the games presented.
Our other conferences have completely different views, these just happened to be some of our views.
As for you wanting our reasons to why we didn't like something well, how in depth should one have to be on a Summary? We always provide links to the full versions of the game/media so that our viewers may take the time to see for themselves what was briefly shown in our videos. This particular show was not meant to be reviewing the games in great deal. hence Summary.
We wouldn't have spoken about What kinds of co-op to expect in Rayman as in all honestly we were expressing our opinions on the matter RIGHT AT HAND, we didn't go looking for information as to every aspect of the games presented because that would end up making the segments much longer than needed and we didn't want to end up with super long videos.
Driver well, what can I say, it didn't appeal to me... I expressed how whenever I see gameplay footage of driver games lately I feel disappointed with what I've seen, the games tend not to be as great as what I remembered from the past. This was just a CG trailer and it didn't jump out at me, it felt boring and really long. That was my opinion... sorry I didn't explain in greater detail?
Wulff doesn't tend to play many racing games and thus doesn't really enjoy those, what was demonstrated? well nothing, we showed what was shown at the CONFERENCE, I thought that was obvious from every clip we've shown, we showed what was shown.
The rest of the games, such as the Dancing/Fitness/whack-a-mole variety, seriously... I felt were self explanitory.
By the end of the video, we highlight the moments we felt were just plain awful... I feel they were rationalised properly.
as for promoting our videos, we have started with just our friends and family enjoying our videos, we needed an outlet for posting our videos elsewhere to draw some attention, just merely posting a video on youtube doesn't get any views what so ever or very minimal and that in all honesty feels like a waste as we put plenty of effort into our normal routine (which is to be a gaming updates show). I have literally postponed my studies (Games design) and opted to create this show with Wulff in order to express my passion for the gaming industry. We had hoped that in due time, our hobby would grow into something much larger.
We were forwarded to these boards by a user of the boards, he had recommended we try posting here as "the general community here would appreciate your videos, mostly being gamers". So we tried. And here we are. Using the terms "Rate, Comment & Subscribe" are literally taught by the Youtube partnership scheme as a way to create a fanbase and to connect yourself to the audience.
I don't know how much of our channel you have seen, but we dedicated our show to the idea of bringing regular bite sized videos so that the average gamer may absorb all the latest gaming info in just a small session, we post videos normally every 3 days, but for E3 have been posting EVERYDAY! We think we have done pretty well in that aspect, these E3 shows are a little different as we expressed our brief opinions instead of going into depth about each game which is what we tend to do on our NORMAL shows.
Anyway this has turned into a massive wall post, damn. I'll just stop here...
You are entitled to your opinion and thusly we have taking this in and hope to improve our show further. Thanks for watching.
Oh and as for the "Dumb" thing, well it feels silly now. Spur of the moment kinda thing. The general consensus here at the boards rate most posts as DUMB, kinda followed buck, excuse me. lol.

Just know that it won't really matter how you spur out excuses, because with the fact that there [i]is[/i] a problem with you videos, it isn't gonna be fun to have to say those excuses to every single person who watches the video. That was not a good summary, it's nice that you tried, but you have a lot to learn.
I tried to watch it but i could not get further then a few minutes.
Boring as fuck
Its your opinion, I highly doubt its the opinion of all. Thanks for your comment.
