Well I gotta admit this E3 was a nice one, unlike last year's. Both Ubisoft and Nintendo were awesome this year :).
I love that Seal's "Kiss From A Rose" is playing as the background music in the second video =)
1 Like Nice it's pretty hard to manage all these things and cover the conferences without any problems live for us!
@telvisnostic Same here, even though it's past the deadline of when they said it would awarded.
I've watched everytihng, and should have received all the emblems already to be able to acquire the final one, but now I wont get the final one cause they still wont give me those fukin UBISOFT or EA or SONY ones that I've watched 1000000000000000 times.
@b0sse agreed, I saw all of them and even went online for day 4 coverage and never got the confirmation of doing so , skipped part way through xbox's press confrence after already watching on tv though , but for EA , UBISOFT should have gotten them also
To get those conference emblems,you needed to watch the LIVE STREAM,not the later recordings.Since you obviously didn't do that,you sadly cannot unlock those emblems anymore...
@Rocker6 I did watch them all LIVE. I got the Microsoft and Nintendo emblem just fine, but they refuse to give me the other ones, and so I missed out on the "E3 2012 Esteemed Scholar" cause of it. Not fair.
And they don't respond to any messages about fixing it either, not on their twitter and not here. BAD SUPPORT IS BAD
Just one question: does the Readers' choice poll -- opposing every game to each other, I guess-- have any deeper sense? Or is it just broken?
3 Like GameSpot staff doesn't seem to care that it's not working properly for many people. Great support... NOT
I didn't get the Microsoft and Sony emblems, despite watching the press conferences. I've even watch the complete two press conferences twice (on day 1 and 2)
@starsmith4_spot I know i'm not getting my E3 2012 EA Conference Attendee emblem too despite watching it about 4 times!!
@GodGamer1995 4 times? You only get the emblem when you tune in live (ie. Monday for the EA).
@RollingSun2000 No, that's not necessarily true. Both Ubi and Nintendo I wanted upon rebroadcast and still got the emblem. Matter of fact, there's people that watch certain conferences LIVE and still didn't get the emblems.....
That being said, I too still have not received my EA or MS emblems though I got all the others (minus the 'scholar' and 'scavenger hunt' ones).
Wish you would put Sonic and SEGA All Stars Racing Transformed on the games list so I could follow it. I also wish you would put it on the stage show because I can't get Mike to go there with the Live Cam.
I just got the Day 2 emblem which has in turn fixed up the Day 3 emblem, so everything is now fine for me.
So I got the Day 2 emblem today, but the description says Day 3. The Day 3 emblem's description says Day 2. The images just need to be switched.
I got the Microsoft emblem but no Sony, Nintendo, EA or Ubisoft emblems, despite watching all the press conferences. Microsoft was the only one I watched live though so I wonder if that has something to do with it.
@raycey You have to watch the streams live to get them. If you didn't watch it live, you won't get them.
@dalger21 Not true. I watched a few conferences on rebroadcast and still got emblems--w/ the except of EA & MS (for whatever reason, yet I've heard numerous people are having trouble w/ those 2, live or not).
