rAge 2012 - views from the crowd

rAge 2012 - what did you think?

The gamers speak about their experiences of the country's biggest gaming show

As a first time attendee from the boondocks, almost entirely mindblowing. :)

My biggest issue was finding my way around. [Small town thing? :p] I would have liked to have met more MyGaming forum members [organised a meet with people from another online community, so I h\guess I should have done the same for MyGaming.]

Would be great if I could attend GameX next year too. Oh, and rAge 2013. Just need to convince someone that
a) I have a soul
b) It is worth loads of cash

:)

Cost of transport and accommodation..... :rolleyes:
 
Overall I was disappointed with rAge 2012. The place was swamped with people and getting close to the displays, shops and tills was manic. I cannot see how it can be held at the dome in 2013, as it was already way too congested for any kind of pleasure.

I am disappointed with the organisation at the entrance. One point of entry only? Surely that was a bad idea?

I ended up leaving early without really getting around.

There also was not as much hardware on display or for sale as previously.

I only got a good look at Tomb Raider and Far Cry 3. Would consider getting them.
 
Tired of NAG just flying RAGE as â„¢ without any real RAGE becoming a name with lacking substance.

What else could RAGE have offered me that I could not have gotten from a day at Menlyn just on/after pay day?


Here is what I suggest: How about doing an actual interview with NAGâ„¢ about this?




ps. Shall we take out the white robes for the RageMessiahs? Sure they will be here to tell me about the sunrays ;)

Sure you are smart enough without aim-assist to workout the meaning... as for the rest:


as TJ said

Now now don't be like that you can talk to... erm developers. Gosh I'm a developer :eek:, want to talk to me ? :p

Or you could talk to yourself about your hardware and stuff :D
 
So surely someone new someone fresh cold organise something a lot more exciting? Something more fresh? Something larger? Or is it all about the name?

Ideas:

*Get more retailers involved.
*Get as much of the Below Zero guys to do some LN2 overclocking, as in a whole section just dedicated to overclocking and overclocking hardware, maybe have a "become a overclocker for a hour" section where users pay a small fee to do some ln2 overclocking and learn something instead of just walking around all day while wasting time.
*A section dedicated to all the coolest new hardware that you can actually buy from the new/more retailers.
Nothing I hate more than seeing awesome goodies and not being able to buy them (A common feature of Rage)
*A competition for the best in show custom pc/s, modded pc comp.
*More freebies that are actually worth something (the current goody bag is dreadful..about as creative as a donkey's ass)
*huge cosplay event and comp.
*Get AWX back to the show (they draw in a lot of people and actually have awesome legit goodies unlike other anime store(You know who you are)..)
*Get much larger venue.
*More entrances and exits.
*Working ATM's and cash points.
*Ample parking.
*Better queuing system.

And most of all *Make it a festival of gaming and not a boring dreary same shit different year event.

Run a comp to get more ideas if the guys organizing it are a bit dull and boring.

I am an idiot and I came up with that in 5 Minutes.

Why not by MyGaming? Surely this must be something they've thought about doing? :o
