Gamescom 2012

[Kedhrin]

Any of you going? I should be attending, still don't know 100% yet. If you're not, then do! Let's plan a meetup???

[e-freak]

do hope so

[knj]

would love to be there, but my friend is getting married 18th, so i'll be wasted all the time

[Vilham]

Company offered to take us, but meh, would have been all over GDC but I don't have any inclination to stand in line waiting to play a game for 2 hours.

[mjens]

I'll be there from 14 to 16th.

[penE]

Dunno when exactly, but I'll be there.

I went two years ago and I was very disappointed. I wanted to avoid the crowds so I made sure we were already there when it opened. We Immediately proceeded towards the Diablo 3 area. By the time we got there, the line was already 2 hours long. I guess I wasn't the only one with that idea. Average waiting lines that day were around 3 hours. There were even long waiting lines to see trailers. I'm talking about 1 or 2 hours here. In the end I didn't play a single game and early in afternoon it got too crowded. The heat outside combined with the huge amount of people inside made you feel you were in a microwave and not to mention the smell. It was bad!

The only way I'm going back there if I can get some sort of VIP access or a press card

[Nysuatro]

I will be there on the press day

[2d-chris]

Yeah Im going this year, but no way I would go on a non press day, thats insane

[Sprony]

Doesn't one of you guys have some extra passes for the non public day

[Nysuatro]

Yeah Im going this year, but no way I would go on a non press day, thats insane

Why is than insane? The longest i had to wait was 10 min :s

[2d-chris]

Lucky you then, that's not what I heard or read from other who went. It was apparently so busy they had to stop people going inside.

[Kedhrin]

Yeah the crowds are pretty rough during gamescom haha. I didn't even bother going last year on a non-press day. Ill probably be in town during GDCE also but not quite sure if we're going to be at GDCE or not.

i didn't see the other two threads regarding pretty much this time frame so sorry about the double postish.

I am sorry, you are right. I read it wrong. I thought you said on a press day ...

I am too tired

I generally try to make it to Gamescom if time allows, the queues are as bad as any expo I guess. The queuing times for the big games can be around a 2 hour wait but there are a lot of games to play that aren't so bad. I'll be there this year, as this will be my first opportunity to see something I've had a hand in making at an expo Very excited.
