This is for PAX East. I haven't been here in years and partially remember why. Getting in took forever especially when getting there early. Line management was non-existent and annoying. The displays and advertisements with interesting to see but it didnt feel like as many major titles and studios were present BUT the indie games were great. A whole section on Facebook gaming was interesting since I wouldn't register with them if I was about to die.

Too many people who want to be Instagram famous(or every other platform famous) roaming around with their cameras block the walking paths was beyond annoying. Though some of them seemed to be interested in the convention and not just their face in the camera.

The cosplayers were good though. Lots of nice work put into outfits and obviously some people who threw some PJs on and called it artwork.

Overall 3 stars for multiple reasons. It's not all the events fault for some shortcomings but the spirit of the event didnt feel right. Also the side missions of the teams was nice except for the fact a couple had a line so long it was crazy just to tap your badge. If you are going one day is not recommended as you will not enjoy everything and will have to choose.
