Says the person who didn't have a single positive thought from the get-go. Your whole intent for being here seems to just be spin. Maybe don't try to pretend it's all doom and gloom?

A lot of good stuff was shown here. May not have reached sweeping heights, may have lacked gameplay, but let's not pretend it was somehow bad and they haven't learned a thing. They've clearly got a lot of good stuff in the works.

No one is pretending that the game line up isn't compelling, which makes me question if you actually know what the complaints about this event truly are.

The presentation was bad. You don't have to agree. But don't make this some console war because ppl don't agree with you. 

I expect better from a midyear MS presentation. I truly do, because I think they generally do a good job. 

What do you mean the presentation was bad? They showed games. They didn't start with some bizzarre self-aggrandising video of their own history, followed by footage for GTAV, they just showed games. It all flowed pretty fluently, with a few dev interviews in-between, really no different from the PlayStation showcase.

The biggest problem was the lack of gameplay. But obviously most of those games don't have the gameplay to show, so you can't show something you don't have.

The fact most of those interesting games are years away, is why I'm not interested in XSX right now and likely next year, just like PS5.
