Everything someone says is generally opinion, me saying there wasn't much to miss is my interpretation of the event. I didn't say it sucked either, not being impressed and/or being slightly disappointed isn't the same as saying something sucks.

Also, my criticism is mainly grounded in the latter part of what I said: "There are so many projects from teams that haven't released anything yet on Switch that it just seems odd for them to not even have a partway made concept to share with people."

Either Nintendo has more and they didn't show it intentionally because they thought all Nintendo/Switch fans would just want to see Smash this time, or they don't have more to show and are just padding for time. Neither builds very much confidence outside of the group that loves and is satisfied with Smash enough to have it carry a presentation for them. They very well could have more under wraps, but until they show it then this specific event just seems a bit bare-bones to me.

I am so excited for this new smash. and them bringing snake back as he was my main in brawl. I haven't played much of ssb4 owned for both 3ds and wiiu but my disc cracked couple days after I got it and I cant play it too well on 3ds because I have big hands

I voted 2 in the E3 rating thread, but that was immediately after the event. Now that I've better come to terms with the delays and lack of announcements, I'll give it a 4/10 in the poll here. Still a poor show, but definitely not as bad as 2015 n 2016.

Also one week until Aces, but they've not yet acknowledged the problem with the netcode. Annoying because I would get the game day 1 otherwise. Now I'll just wait and see if they stealth fixed the issue.

Just butting in for a second, but even if what you said was the case, he would still be right.He didnt say that what he thought was a general concenssus, but rather his view of the conference.So if the games shown this year didnt excite him as much, then the conference didnt excite him as much.Personally, and thats my own view, I like Smash announcements because of how the announcements are presented and because of the chracters, but while I like the game itself and not its biggest fan.I mean, that may change if they announce a subspace emmisary-like campaign.And mario wasnt 50% of the conference last year but I digress.

And just as a sidenote:Nintendo cant have every year to be like 2017 simply because thats impossible.They dont have enough people to have an AAA game, or at least fairly ambitious game every month or so for years on end.2018 being a more "quiter" year compared to 2017 will probably mean that the stream of high quality games will be increased next year though.

The answer is in your own response.You are looking people dissapointment through your own eyes, rather than trying to see from their.Im not really on the mood to write a huge post, so Ill try to keep it direct and simple.

For me, this E3 wasnt bad, at all.I would personally give it a 7.5.But it loses compared to last year mostly because the kind of games I like were mostly a no show this year.Like I said, I like Smash, but Im certainly not as a big of a fan as you.XC 2 DLC looks simply awesome, but its not a new game as XC 2 (base game) was.Daemon X Machina looks promissing, but what it made look promissing was the treehouse segment, and not the trailer.FE Three Houses was the highlight for me honestly, but I would lie if I didnt say I was a bit dissapointed they didnt show gameplay at the treehouse.And that was basically it.There were smaller announcements like Overcooked 2 and DB Fighters Z, but they were leaked to hell and bayond, and at the conference nothing new was shown about them(DBZ is a port and Overcooked is a by-the-books sequel).

Compare that to last year, which we had a closer look at XC 2 story(brand new, the main mechanism of Mario Odyssey and what would make it set apart from other Mario games, DLC for Zelda (even if I felt that the end product was a bit underwhelming), the announcement of Prime 4, which everyone thought was dead, or at least it was a pipe dream.And the announcement of another Metroid game, which turned out to be a solid game, that had a release date for 2 or 3 months after E3.The Pokemon announcement was indeed silly, but served as a reassurance of sorts that Ninmtendo would indeed go all in with the console.Mario + Rabbids, that everyone knew that would happen but everyone thought it would suck because rabbids, but turned out to be an excellent game.And many more games.Overall E3 2017 was more diversified in terms of genres represented, and there were more surprises.With representation, its easier to appeal to a higher number of people, and who dosent like surprises?You loved this E3 probably because of Smash and thats totally fine.I just think that last year had more games that people wanted to see.

In the end, I wrote a big post.But oh well.

No one talking about Octo Expansion or Octopath Traveler? What's going on here?

I dont think in the slightest that there is objectivity in that view, but I dont think we will reach a concenssus on this.Lets agree to disagree.

Octopath Travel is not out, yet. But the new "demo" is where you can play for 3 hours and test each character within the timelimit. The progress will be moved to the full game. So you can play the game for 3 hours and continue when it is released. I really lime it so far. Took the thief. He is voiced by the same guy who also does Uchiha Sasuke in japanese. Really fits the character.

According to Gamexplain the netcode in Aces has apparently been fixed for the full version of the game. Not that I don't trust them, but still gonna wait until I see it for myself.

Yes, there is a secret boss and she is a huge pain in the ass.
