I expected this response, but no. Everyone knew the Smash stuff would be just a character reveal at the end, this direct was the time to get excited for other stuff and there wasn't a lot of exciting things at all, it was basically 30 minutes of ports, and not the hype kind of ports like Doom or Skyrim, nah, it was all just irrelevant crap like NSMBU or old games that still look bad such as Katamari Damacy and Crystal Chronicles. Most of the stuff showed looked so bad I even got a little excited for Daemon X Machina. Of course, Yoshi's Crafted World looks really great, but... it's Yoshi, who cares? So yeah, ending all that with a super boring character reveal (a massive letdown coming from the crazy hype Ridley, Belmonts and K. Rool trailers) was just really underwhelming. I'd rather they focused on actually showing the new AC and then quickly going like "yeah Isabelle in Smash too" than doing it how they did, but then again that trailer probably looks very similar to the new AC game anyway, so whatever I guess. Also, the online service segment. They basically went like "hey, give us $20 for nothing!" and that was it, only this time they tried making it look good by throwing out some pretty words. That was really the part that got me salty, and I needed something truly hype to make up, and that never came. It speaks volumes to the quality of this direct if the thing that hyped me most was an anime opening trailer for a Splatoon 2 update I didn't even understand anything about. |
You'd be surprised no really if you see some of the responses on social media you'd be surprised.
