There was at least ONE cool thing

Boobs, check! Sexy oufit, check! Sniper, check! Kojima must have been reading my blog when developing MGS5

7/10
Exclusives didn't wow me and that high price tag didn't help either...
And they totally ignored about the DRM...

This is a summary I largely agree with.

I would almost put Titanfall up there as a positive though. When it was announced I was like, "how generic" but now it turns out to be somewhat original, with potential for the online gameplay to feel asymmetric and interesting, with the constant switching of scales from infantry to large vehicles. All of a sudden BF4, Killzone Shadowfall, Halo and COD started to feel a bit oldfashioned.

My personal highlight would be MGS5. Never liked MGS but this one looks phenomenal. (obviously Dark Souls 2 is even better but that I knew already)

Lots of positive impressions in this thread. Who would have thought.

I would give it a 7. It was a well registered show (apart from the glitches), and the lineup looks solid for Xbox, but the content wasn't mindblowing to me personally.

Good points from all 3 sides.

I gave a 5 too. If there was lack of information about DRM, then it means the leaks posted yesterday are true. DRM is going to be worse from what we know. I was expecting clarification about that and that is why I gave a 5. This system even with those games shown is still an anti-consumer product.

Plus the price is very high and keep in mind, you still have to PAY 60 dollars for the subscription. In the UK, the price is higher than the price of the PS3 at launch and it doesn't include the price of the membership.

That Battlefield demo was funny

I gave it a 10, they went above and beyond my expectations. Though without Halo it would've been a 8

Positives
- Easily the best conference Microsoft has ever done
- Game centric
- Variety of games (genre)
Games
- New IP (Insomniac)
- Revival of Killer Instinct
- Panzer Dragoon spiritual successor

Negative
- None of it matters to me, but I can see how people already planning on buying it would be excited. Wish I could be part of the excitement as this was night and day from their console unveiling.

8/10

I was really hoping for a Banjo game, and that price is just way too high. Also, they didn't even lower the price of the 360. Sales are going to be low if Sony can price the PS4 $100 cheaper.

I'd give it a solid 6/7 out of 10.

The Good:
Minimal Kinect/Smartglass which was great.
Talking was kept to a minimum.
Good selection of game.
Spark/Dead Rising/Titanfall looked fantastic.

The Hmmmm.
No info on the DRM/Used game issues.
About 60% of the stuff shown was multiplat or only timed or console exclusive. I'm getting about half of what they showed on the conference on PC or PS4.

The Bad.
Tech issues.
It's just personal taste but I thought Ryse looked terrible. I just couldn't get into it with all the QTE stuff, thought it ruined the atmosphere.
The price...... Big one, I'm in the UK and £420 is a lot of money =/

Overall I thought it was a good conference, but I really felt they should have shown more exclusives to temp people away from the PS4.

I have to give them a 6... They could have gotten a 8/9 if they just had addressed certain issues! And if the actual box was cheaper... All those games were awesome though!
