Phil Spencer recently said that Microsoft's E3 2019 would be as big as ever. This was an article on the front page of vgchartz. I couldn't help but notice a bunch of comments with people getting excited. Just what was there to get excited about? The 2018 show didn't do anything for me. They didn't announce any big new exclusives. The games that they did announce were either multiplatform, the same three games as always,  or underwhelming looking. 

Just incase anybody needs a refresher... https://kotaku.com/everything-microsoft-showed-at-e3-2018-1826712235

"But what about Battletoads?"

Rare is making it. They botched Sea of Thieves. 

"But what about Crackdown 3?"

Crackdown 2 got a 70 on Metacritic. That's about the same score that No Man's Sky got at  launch. 

Are people excited because it has become the place for 3rd party multiplats to make their announcements, or are you guys genuinely excited for Microsoft? If so why? 

I'm not trying to hate on a particular platform here. I mean, if MS announced Fable 4, and two or three promising new IPs from good development teams, I'd be excited. But I just haven't been a fan since 2011. 

Why not? Sony's not gonna be there and Microsoft shows a lot of great games! They tend to have good or even great presentations, they're just never for Xbox exclusives. I, as a PS4/Switch player who owns an unused Xbox One, can potentially get a lot out of what microsoft has to show. 

I still never play my Xbox (the last good Xbox exclusive was Ori and the Blind Forest, as far as I'm concerned), but they COULD still release something good and even if they don't they'll show a bunch of great multiplatform games I'll be playing on my PS4! Win-Win for everyone!
