Forza 7, State of Decay, Crackdown 3, Ori 2, cuphead and sea of thieves looks great but the real gem for me is Super Lucky's Tale. What an awesome conference. XOX looks really cool.

8/10

- OG Xbox BC is good. CoD: BO2 charting shows people care about BC. 

- Anthem looks good. MS and EA will defeintely push this as a Destiny killer. Hope it does well.

- Pretty decent variety of games. That Dragonball game and the SE game (forgot the name) both look interesting.

- AC: Origins looks good, but it's AssCreed...

- On that note, I'm surprised Sony didn't have that game this year.

- No first party surprises. Everything was known beforehand except Ori. 

- 499 US DOLLARS. That is pretty steep when the PS4 Pro will likely be $150 cheaper.

- Crackdown looks awful. Sea of Thieves doesn't look too appealing either.

7.5/10. 

I thought it was poor even for MS

Scorpio looks good, but the price isn't too hot

and the games were pretty woeful. Only Forza 7 announced as a proper new exclusive, and that is blindingly obvious, even if it is the best sim racer right now. Sea of Thieves, Crackdown 3 and State of Decay 2 all look underwhelming in terms of gameplay, and that is pretty much it going forward. I mean seriously, Halo Wars 2, State of Decay 2, Forza 7, Crackdown 3 and Sea of Thieves over about 18 months? That is bad.

and 22 exclusives, about a dozen launch exclusive only, and of the other ten or so half were indies. Cuphead and Ori are cool

3/10 for Forza 7, Cuphead, Ori and Crackdwon maybe still being decent

It wasn't so bad. If I were to rate it, with the 2 blondes from Shark Tank being the highest possible score, I would give it 1 1/4 blondes from Shark Tank. Like 1 full blonde, then the disembodied head of another.

I really liked the conference because they showed games after games and would give it a 8/10. The problem for me is the price and so many timed exclusives. Only new games they announced that were exclusives were forza 7, ori and that weird platformer. I am surpised Ashen is timed.

AAA games - 5/10 - Forza and Crackdown will be the only XO exclusives worthwhile the next 8 months. Sigh.
Indie games - 5/10 - Saving grace being that 2d scifi game, Ori 2 and Cuphead.
Hardware (XOX) - 3/10 - Ugly, expensive and apparently pointless (for now).
Conference - 2/10 - With no new AAA exclusives but 20 indie / steam / shovel ware trash. Count me the fuck out. Will be buying F7, Crackdown 3 and Cuphead day 1 though. Thats about it. 

The big suprise was OG Back-pat. SOme of my best games ever where released on the OG XB. Looking forward to seeing what they cook up. 

Pros

Crossplay between Xbox and Switch for Minecraft is a pretty huge deal and hopefully this is the start of cross play between all multiplayer games and platforms.

OG Xbox backwards comparability.

Cons

No major AAA exclusive announced

Way too many multiplats

500 dollars for the Xbox One X

Except for Sea Of Thieves all of their already existing first party games look underwhelming.

fairyly mediocre confference overall.

Have you played State of Decay?

yeah, I stopped after a few hours because I hated the janky combat and driving and didn't think the rest of the game made up for it. It was ugly and buggy too

Nobody's mentioned the fact that MS didnt said anything about the console running games in 4K and 60 fps?
