Being a Kinect owner and Halo fanboy I enjoyed MS conference more than both Sony and Nintendo. I would completely understand why someone would hate the conference if they are not into halo and/or don't own a Kinect. The only thing MS disappointed me with was there was a lack of games they could have showed off to make there conference even better like...

Witcher 2
Crimson Alliance
Summer of arcade montage
The Gunstringer
Mrs. Splosion man
Rise of Nightmares
BloodForge

It's not that MS has a lack of games, because if you add this list to the previous one that's a damn fine list of games. It's that they didn't show off all the right games at their conference.

They should have cut the tomb raider demo, Cut the Sesame street and Disney demo because all were unneeded. Add all the games I mentioned and peoples judgement would have changed dramatically.


The Witcher 2 was the only game there that caught my eye. What are the other games again? I know for sure Mrs. Splosion man is an arcade game, so really it doesnt count against Sony's exclusives at all.

Just because you ignore upcoming 360 exclusives, doesn't mean they aren't worth getting excited for.

Add Project Draco, MechWarrior and Steel Batallion to that list. Panzer Dragoon is probably Sega's best franchise, and giant mech battles, yes please!

Also Splosion Man is probably the best Arcade game made. I rarely buy arcade games, skipped on LIMBO and Braid, but Splosion Man, damn that's just too good to miss. The only other Arcade game I can think of that is possibly better is Shadow Complex, or Wipeout HD, and then it's a matter of preference.

Also, this is BloodForge, a supposed AAA 360 exclusive for 2012.


Correction friend, I ignore kinect titles, not Xbox 360 core exclusives. I ignore move titles as well. Can you blame me for being objective? Bloodforge? Show me a video of it, a pic wont help.

So lets just ignore 2/3 of MS games (Sony also) because XBLA/PSN and Kinect/Move title don't count as games for you standards? Who cares what everyone else likes and just focus on what you like? Sorry, but I'm not buying it.          


We could make a general list and Sony would still have a stronger army of titles from start to finish. Try it if you wish. It has nothing to do with my standards. I've had this argument with Michael before showing him how even adding Move titles to Sony's arsenal could make arguing about the consoles titles even less in anyones favor who argues towards Microsoft. Yes, its preference, but lets be real here, look at the strength of the library as a whole. To be truthful I'd rather keep casual titles out of the argument because those arent the true games which give a console lasting value. When most of us on this site talk about games which will grab gamers attention, AAA exclusives are usually the titles we focus on. I've become accustomed to it, hence why we tend to ignore the casual by default, because on gamer sites like this, you can call 99% of us core gamers. E3 was mainly viewed by core gamers, which is why Microsofts showing was considered the most underwhelming. If it was viewed mostly by the general public who could only give a care about gaming in passing then Microsofts show would be an A+. Secondly, as i've said before in other posts, for Microsoft to assume there is a core market (for Kinect) is quite risky as the kinect has only been around a year and only garnered true value around one franchise (which shows you truthfully where your market is stemming from). Core gamers tend to waver to titles with stable or complex control schemes. Casual titles gather people who dont really game and give them momentary pleasure, whilst the core titles can have lasting effects and change the core gamers impression of system A, B or C via their exclusives. Casual titles are a passing glance if any. It's like going to universal studios. Oh yes....I forgot....you can now go to the Disney theme park with kinect on a rail. If you view AAA titles and casual titles as equal...then as erroneous as I believe that is, it's still your opinion and I cannot change that.
