Honestly, a small part of me is trying to be optimistic. hopeful. A lot of the games shown here look like they have potential. It's the lack of gameplay in the trailers mixed with Microsoft's history of fucking things up that make me worried. I don't expect them to just turn around their fortunes all of a sudden because they got a few cool ideas under their belt and THESE trailers, in particular, are not enough to make me change my opinion on them as a company.
In a vacuum, these trailers are fine. None of them aside from Halo were outright BAD, but none of them were good enough to make me forget the last decade or so of the Xbox Division's failures, and that's what they needed to do. They did not. if anything it just made me realize...holy hell Microsoft hasn't learned from their mistakes, they're doing the same gameplay-free trailers that tell us nothing, which tells me that either the games are bad or they have no faith in them. If they had faith in the games, they'd show us more gameplay.
IT's a shame, but it does make this holiday a much easier purchasing decision for me. I already have a Switch and PS4, so PS5 it is!
