You think that Bethesda paid the people in the audience to cheer?

Yeah, the ESO cheering was good and also real. Congrats on the successful event!

But it's still funny how the first row reacted ... to everything... come on... mobile phone games... would you play and pay yourself ? No hard feelings, it's good that TES6 is getting closer, hopefully not as a "live-service-game" and I pray that there is also more high quality content for ESO.

But let me fully disagree on the mobile cashgrab games. Would it be buy2play for xyz € on android and like a full game, then we can talk about it. Price depends on content/gametime and NO microtransactions. Would buy it, would play it, even on mobile (that card game would be fun if it's at a reasonable price without microtransactions)

Oh come on, they were the zos staff, of course they will cheer and i think there is nothing wrong with that. I found it actually funny how passionate some dev was.

Indeed but if you paid attention to this thread and these forums in general you would come away believing there is something wrong with celebrating your industry. The constant pure negativity is becoming a very disturbing yet consistent trend in the online ecosphere.

It's partially a cultural thing.

In Europe, it's considered somewhat crass to cheer yourself and by extension, a company you work for.

A polite clap would probably be considered more appropriate.

Have a good E3, assuming you guys are staying there the full week.

Yeah, agreed with this.

Also, it's not like ESO players wouldn't like to cheer. We just aren't given much cause for celebration. Unable to log in, woohoo! Cyro lag, yaaay! So when they mention that ESO is doing super well (while we've had recurring server meltdowns) and say they increased the server capactiy to accomodate the mass of players (that the logins and group finder clearly can't deal with), the response is far from a jubilant 'yeehaw' and more like a '@&!%" finally, thank God, we've been complainging %!+'# forever!!! '.

E3 is like that.

GDC is nothing but developers and is never like that.

Thus I must reject the shills conspiracy.

@ZOS to much skooma they on hangover after E3

ps: they are adicted to skooma seriusly, if they thinks EU will wait 6 months in this mess

Seriously!! with all the negativity around us, seeing someone, and more, an adult, beeing so enthusiastic is for me the proof that we can still be silly, funny, and love what we are doing or watching or simply living.

Please @ZOS_Finn, never ever change. And never apologize for beeing human and still having the child in you

dennissomb16_ESO

Of course they did not pay anyone to cheer, that is simply silly. People love their games and people who spend their time and money to attend shows like E3 are even more enthusiastic. Having said that the camera kept panning to the front rows where you could see ESO staff jumping up and making a lot of noise constantly during the Zenimax online portion of the presentation

Arrodisia

what's more important than this speculation is that the servers be fixed today, please.

If it was the same crowd for the rest of E3 I’d say Keanu Reeves is enough to keep any of us hyped for a week, if not years.

Dusk_Coven

I think we need to remember that not everyone is alike. Some people will genuinely be excited about <insert game here> for their own reasons. Just because you don't happen to like it doesn't mean everyone shares or understands your viewpoint.

Fallout 76 received huge negative press initially but evidently enough people still liked it to keep playing and keep giving feedback and keep the faith and it's apparently better now and from the sounds of it with an amazing community.
If they can keep the community pride and keep out the toxicity that overtakes many games, it'll be phenomenal.

Also I feel it is really crass to spit at ZOS like this right on their own forum. Get your own complaint blog.

Recremen

Why would they pay people to cheer when the vast majority of us are more than willing to do it anyway, for free?

If you adjust your tin foil hat slightly, you can clearly see the audience's puppet strings.

As a German who has spent the last 20 years working in the US this still gets me every time.

I always try to stay in the back so nobody can hear me cringe ...

Keanu Reeves practically saved E3 as a whole.

John Wick/Neo is a gamer?!?!!

Americans clap in cinema's, why not there as well?

I’ve been in America for 37 years. I’ve only once witnessed an audience clap at the cinema. Feel like this might be a regional thing.

Cheers varied depending on the game and content. While some could have been staged, many seemed genuine.

Loralai_907

Some of you are funny. That wasn't a paid performance. ESO has a rather decent sized group of people that love the game and the community, and a few of them happened to be at the event. It was kind of expected for there to be some volume from the ESO crowd. I support the excited ESO fans and I think the people being extra crappy about it are super lame.

They dont clap, they just sing, jump on cars (alarms starts), they yell, they sometimes put fire, .... yes more appropriate you say ?

@Lauranae
He's specifically talking about cheering for yourself as a person and/or company.
As in "Hey look how great i am!".

That has nothing to do with the lemming like sports idiocy you see in Europe ...

For reals please never change. Your presentation was wonderful. I was proud to have you up on stage representing as you did.

angelncelestine

Fake/ paid or not, I would have cheered just because I personally really enjoy ESO :-) I think it was cute how loud Finn was. You can tell how proud he is, and he should be. I am loving the new dungeons. Well minus the lasers in FV lol

I know, but still i disagree, as i saw numerous VIP and companies (french, English, Italian ...) self applaud themselves. It is the human part. Never saw a child applaud himself ? So what, beeing an adult means that you have to loose the child in you ?

To applaud is something that motivates us to continue to do our best, to overcome obstacles, to adopt a positive outlook, to maintain morale. Why not applaud your company if you are proud of it, and proud of what you have done.

And to applaud is more related to squawk, absence, collective, intense, and ovation than polite.

I've seen polite applause at UN meetings, and i rather not have those.

But, nowadays the norm is to doubt and insult any good feelings. So sad.
