>>8666054I was there and I have some very mixed feelings about First Look (like most people seem to have).
I don't think it was that bad as a gaming convention.
I was a little disappointed that the entire venue was quite small. Also they didn't have too many really interesting games in my opinion. It's a lot of the same first shooter stuff and other things I already played everywhere else. Some of the games I wanted to see were really hard to find or not existent at all.
The real problem was that the cosplay events were handled quite poorly by the First Look organization. They apparently promised a big stage for the WCS prelim but it was packed with computers and screens, which could not be removed.
You could really see that most of the teams had some big trouble managing the small space on stage.
The cosplay ville and it's stage itself wasn't too exciting as well. I felt like the staff of animecon and abunai really tried to make something nice but First Look itself couldn't care less.
So yeah... when you're interested in that particular type of games they show it's a great event but it's probably not a good event for cosplay
