It was largely unremarkable.

1) Weak reveals for Starfield and Contraband
2) While the trailer was funny, The Outer Wilds 2 announcement was just nothing.
3) Ending the show with a 5 minute CG trailer was just poor.
4) A lot of games were shown off for the 2nd time at the Xbox event; this was the 3rd xbox e3 in a row that 12 minutes was shown off.
5) Updates to existing games - not an issue, but considering the padding from repeat games and lackluster reveals, it sticks out.
6) Halo SP re-reveal was.... ok I guess.

Of course, there was a lot of content (expected) and mostly a gamepass event (expected). I didn't expect it to be the game I would come away thinking of most, but Forza Horizon 5 was incredible. Looks so good.

I'd say a 6/10 at best . While it definitely feels like MS is gaining traction on their release schedule, and pumping up the value of gamepass, very little felt like it was moving forward. I dunno if that makes sense.

Anyways. always glad to watch the MS e3 event. Will tune in again next year like always,

To be fair it was literally game after game they shown and we get updates of games and other games later (today halo and thursday we have an event that is focused on interviews with a possibility to show more of like Hellblade 2 considering ninja theory will be their aswell).
