I went into it with an open mind, a person interested for a new console, hopeful MS will start with a clean slate. I came out disappointed, like one of the worst conferences I've seen this gen.

MS has given me no reason to buy their product. There were no surprises, the "holy shit they announced WHAT" moments, no new exclusives announced, despite Phil's claim of upping 1st party output. I genuinely was expecting at least 1 surprise announcement.

I think that most of these games weren't really big E3 stage material, most were sizzle reel trailers.

What I'm really sad by however, is that MS continues with their habbit of timed exclusivities. Since they can't get AAA deals anymore they've targeted indies.

really? which stream was that on? wasn't on the main show was it?

How well did Xbox do? From One to X? :)

5/10 - Ori looked good, glad Cuphead is finally coming out.

It's still One X or... IX which would be Xbox 9

4/10

It's by far the worst.

Not a single new notable exclusive. I have no problem with "another Forza" as they are the best racers in the business. But everything else especially the indies was poor.

XOX looks like a dud to me. It's ugly, cheap looking and overpriced.

Original backwards comp was cool though.

I went with a 3, but could maybe be talked into a 4.

The presentation format itself was great, just focus on what your new hardware is and then shove game after game in our faces.

The fact that they attempted to mislead verbally with the "exclusive" chant that went on before every timed, errr I am sorry I mean "launch" exclusive was sickening.

The whole "we have 22 exclusives" statement was misleading and embarrassing.

The $499 price point for the Scorpio was embarrassing.

The name XB1X, surely not to be confused with the XB1S by parents who are just trying to get that new system for their kid this year, is embarrassing.

Of the 6 or 7 actual exclusives, I will be glad to play 3 or so on my PC. That's not embarrassing.

Back to the price point though, what the hell are they thinking? I get that they want to target the "but but but graphics" crowd but even they have a ceiling for what they will spend on a console.

This presentation left me with one resounding thought. MS in this gen is screwing up as badly with the XB1(insert letter here) as Sony did initially with the PS3. Only MS hasn't taken the proper steps to recover, nor do they have the clout from winning previous gens (any) to garner the good will of the gaming community. I went in wanting to like this conference, but damn.

It was good.

Though disappointing not to see crackdown 3 demo, or any other exclusive.

Anthem looked good, so did metro, but sea of thieves was so meh.

2/10 and 8/10 in a superposition.

They had nothing to show and made the XBOX's future look very poor, but they still managed to find a lot of cool indie games to fill the time.
