WTF Moment From E3 2010

TechVoo writes "In my journey for free stuff during E3 I came across the Namco booth and they were handing out T-shirts to people who were playing their game Puzzle Quest 2. So I gave it a try and it seemed like your typical Bejeweled clone, until the booth manager tried to explain it to me"

Oh noes... not new ideas... thats just absurd... why would a developer want to be original?

this dumb prick just missed out on a great little game. the first puzzle quest was awesome.

[NewNameNow]

No, bejeweled is a good game, this game is just retarded.

[bigcheda]

is it anything like the first puzzle quest which surprisingly stole about 40 hours of my life?

first one was addicting, hopefully the 2nd one is as well.

[Bereaver]

There's actually already a few sequels to puzzle quest out.

[rakunado]

Guess some people aren't open to new ideas.

What is even more sad, is people who haven't even played the first incarnation commenting on how absurd the next incarnation is. If they wanted to say how bad this game was they should've commented way back when 1 was released, why the hell they are commenting now on the sequel... sucks to be the ignorant journalist wannabe who has no clue how many people actually liked puzzle quest.

Oh I GET WHAT HE DID THAR, he is trying to be funny and show how hardcore he is. Well he won because I gave his page a hit, which im regretting deeply.

Guess most people can't wrap their minds around hybrid games. Does that make Mass Effect 2 bad because it includes FPS elements combined with RPG gameplay? I can just imagine this author now saying... ZOMG RPG and FPS combined /facepalm(s) and runs for the door!

[Timesplitter14]

Obviously that guy hasn't played Puzzle Quest 1. It's actually a very good game

[evilmonkey501]

I absolutely loved the first puzzle quest!!! This guy doesn't like games!!!!
Get the pitchforks!!! (and I want your puzzle quest t shirt dammit)

You should try it,alirazaqpur. Your gonna get flamed up good for this one.

[poopnscoop]

Didn't someone already write this article?

http://n4g.com/news/547760/...

Oh yeah. I see originality isn't your strong suit. Better luck next time.

[NewNameNow]

Get the heck out of here he wasn't the first person to ever write that article, if anything almost any article I write is usually copied that same day or next.

[SactoGamer]

Puzzle Quest 2 wasn't at the Namco Booth. It was at the D3 Publishers booth which was behind Namco.

[NewNameNow]

Eh close enough

[LightFantastic]

"Close enough" is not journalism.

[No Way]

Are you supposed to be a writer..?

[mushroomwig]

Devolopers just can't win, people complain when the same old genres are used time and again, and now it seems like people complain when devolopers try something new.

[Deathracer]

Nobody can win because everyone complains.

[HarryM]

If the writer ACTUALLY just walked off when the developer told him about the story, that's just wrong.

You never know, a storyline for a Puzzle Game could go well together...

[No Way]

If I was the booth manager, and the douchebag walked off..

I woulda took my damn shirt back.

[megazeroxuxm]

lol if I was manager, i would take my shirt back and give the guy a punch in the face! if i was the developer i'll take the shirt and choke the guy to death with it.

[vampstreak]

its more like a "wtf" article, who approves this crap?

[K-Tuck]

Yeah, for real. It really shows the author's ignorance.

[djsean]

Not sure how an in-depth single player could happen at all in a game like this.

Doesn't matter tho, as long it is fun, right?

[ninpo14]

*then we left the forest of no return. then we were confronted by the vampire of jewels. he told us to hand over the relics we won from defeating the jewel sages. He had princess ruby as a hostage and so to win her back and save the world from his evil-ness i challenged to the ancients native game we call bejeweled.

*later when i win*
i say like an action hero "you've just been" pause "bejeweled"

well that was fun but, the idea of that game having a story is just silly

[ginganinja]

a story mode in puzzle games, that's just daft.
Let's just nip back in time to 2007 and tell them...
'You know that game you're finishing off, don't bother.'
'Huh?'
'Well it just sounds a bit, you know..'
'Oh, ok then'
'I mean i can only see it selling a fair few copies on 10 different platforms and getting metacritic scores in the 80s along with one or two awards'
'is that all? hardly seems worth it'

... though 'Galactrix' was a bit lame.

[danielle007]

My friend was absolutely addicted to it. But, this article just shows how rude the author is... and he's not very well versed in games, either.

Plus, it's in the name Puzzle.. Quest. QUEST. That means that there's a quest, which most of the time means you're on a journey towards a goal. Which means that there's going to be a lil bit of a story. Plus, who hates on new stuff?

[Leg-End]

Maybe if he waited around to see what the guy had to say he might have found it to be alright!! Otherwise the game would just be called 'Puzzle'...

And how the hell has this managed to be one of the hottest stories on here it's crap!

[megazeroxuxm]

Excuse me if i think it's a bit rude to grab the booth's T-Shirt and walk away while the manager was trying to talk. At least hear the guy out before walking away, and take a T-Shirt to show that you will consider in being interested in the game, not take one to make sure you have enough cloth to wear until the next E-3! sure i cracked up and loled when i see the equation of "bejeweled + Final fantasy RPG" but it was still quite rude to walk out on the MANAGER, who probably makes more money than this sad excuse of journalism. and to make it worse, the game is actually good LMAO.

[danielle007]

People seem to forget what manners are. If I was lucky enough to be at E3, I would want to hear about every game, even if I wasn't sure about the concept. That's what's great about E3, right? You learn what's new, and new game elements work surprisingly well together, blahblah.

If I wanted a free shirt, I would at least listen to the fella that's going to give me that shirt. Not just cut him off, put the controller down, take the shirt, and leave. What a dickface.

[hazelamy]

a story mode in a puzzle game worked out pretty well for puzzle quest.
puzzle quest is a bloody good game.
