Security said there was no media line.

Appointment at noon.

Fuck this.

The answer to 'is E3 busier with loads of public' is a resounding yes. Line stretches out to the street and curves back pic.twitter.com/FNgpDeo81O

This is why they need press-only days.

Alexious · Jun 13, 2017

Gamescom is like this all the time, FYI.

Bronetta · Jun 13, 2017

They opened it to the public but kept the same amount of booths?

Fire whichever genius planned that.

I am so glad I'm not there right now.

I can't believe they didn't plan for that.

KHlover · Jun 13, 2017

Did they not learn anything from gamescom? This is going to be a disaster lol

RecRoulette · Jun 13, 2017

Considering a ton of journalists last year were going "I can't believe how empty the floor is this year," I'm not surprised.

Quonny · Jun 13, 2017

Idiots.

Linkyn · Jun 13, 2017

Giving me some real Gamescom vibes.

Bsigg12 · Jun 13, 2017

I walked in. Saw Dan from Giantbomb making a video of this, said hi and walked out to go get food lol

It's a fucking mad house

Yikes, that's my nightmare.

borges · Jun 13, 2017

Wow... thats too much people for that space.

AuthenticM · Jun 13, 2017

holy fuck

Vinny and Abby need to shoot some videos of this insanity.

Plum · Jun 13, 2017

This is going to backfire so hard. Journalists are gonna be pissed and the public will barely get what they came for. The shot of Nintendo's Mario booth right now in the Treehouse is just insane.

kuYuri · Jun 13, 2017

Glad I'm not there in that sauna right now

FHIZ · Jun 13, 2017

The question has always been is there going to be sufficient shit for the public to do. Really looking forward to post E3 podcasts for the stories.

Bergerac · Jun 13, 2017

Is this new Days Gone footage?

Gamescom has a press day though IIRC?

Auctopus · Jun 13, 2017

As a member of the public who would love to go to E3, this feels like a mistake.

Daffy Duck · Jun 13, 2017

Lol no one is going to play anything

True Fire · Jun 13, 2017

So, when do we declare this E3 a complete failure and start hyping up next year?

McDougles · Jun 13, 2017

I'm media, and I showed up half an hour earlier than my department director did last year. We are roughly 7-10 times further back in line around the corner. It curves around the back.

Lights and Waves · Jun 13, 2017

I'm honestly surprised. I thought E3 was dying.

Quonny · Jun 13, 2017

I guess now I know about the Pro enhancements I asked about in the other thread.

Yep, that looks like hell on earth to me.

Yesterday, for me at least.

lol holy shit at that second pic in the OP.

tuxfool said:

It does, plus large areas that are closed to the public.

ciD_Vain · Jun 13, 2017

Currently in line and at this rate will probably get inside by the time Mario Odyssey releases this Fall.

Mashing · Jun 13, 2017

Well, I just hope there's no stories about fights or someone getting stabbed.

Shaanyboi · Jun 13, 2017

This looks like a nightmare

Maybe one game, two if they're lucky.

I'm literally here to walk around and take pictures. I have no will to stand in 1 line for 4-5 hours to play 1 game.

paulogy · Jun 13, 2017

The irony of this is if anyone curses out the fans (whose patronage drives this entire industry)

The real issue is whoever failed to manage these logistics

djplaeskool · Jun 13, 2017

We Gamescom now

Indeed. What I feared has been realized.

That is why journalists make appointments with the publishers to check the games, Joe.

Just seems a bit more difficult to get there in time if the crowds are that big.

Edit: OK, just saw this post. That sounds like very bad planning from the expo.

I´m getting a panic attack just watching it.

If you want regulars at E3, do it like gamescom with press-only days and then public days.

Even harder than the one where he had to put up with Spoony? Damn!

Just imagine all the HW being stolen right now.

NegativeCero · Jun 13, 2017

I can't imagine how gross it must feel like being there. Enjoy the E3 flu, everyone!

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
