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.

Whether those games had gameplay ready or not is not being questioned, because at the end of the day those game didn't have any.

If your criteria is just game announcements, then that's cool.

If your criteria is gamepass value, that's great.

I'm haven't been questioning your enjoyment of the event. I'm merely pointing that you shouldn't be vilifying ppl who didn't like the show just because you did.

Your comment wasn't "I didn't like it", your comment was "The presentation was bad." Stated as if it should be fact.

And if your criteria is gameplay, why is this so much worse than the PlayStation showcase? They main gameplay attraction was from R&C, which looked great, but that was it. Outside that, it was mostly just announcements, and a lot of good ones, like this showcase. R&C is also nowhere near a final build, so can be taken with a grain of salt.

Or was the PS showcase also bad by your standards?
