The show overall was definitely better than last year, highlights for me:
- Scorn
- Ereban
- Cocoon
- Wo Long
- Persona
- Kojima

Might also give a try for:
- Forza Motorsport
- Naraka Bladepoint
- Diablo IV
- Redfall (it looked way better than I anticipated and reminds me of Left 4 Dead, but need to see more closely)

Anyway, I think Xbox has quite decent lineup for late 2022-early 2023 for everyone, so this is fine. Yeah, in terms of first party games the late 2022 part is a bit lacking, but after new year there will be Starfield, Redfall and Forza all together so probably not a big deal.

P.S. I think I'm pretty much set for a year starting with Soul Hackers 2 in August, then P5R in October and P3, P4 next year

While I feel 2022 has been very weak for Xbox. Overall, I don't think it has been as bad as people say. I've exclusively been playing on Xbox as well. Horizon DLC, Soul Hackers 2 (got the CE), Persona 5, and then in 2023 with Starfield, Forza, and Redfall. Also looking forward to Saints Row as well. 

Share your sentiment on better than last year. They focused on gameplay as a whole and to me it was paced very well. A lot of games I would not have played if it weren't coming to Gamepass. Might even make me a believer out of some of them. 

You're assuming Xbox actually has a TGS presence this year xD

Let us hope they do. 

I'd give the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase a solid 8/10. It didn't have the megaton announcement, but it had a lot of good games throughout. Starfield looks fantastic. Redfall looks like a fun co-op shooter. Wo Long looks like a good mix of Ninja Gaiden and Dark Souls. Minecraft Legends looks like something I will enjoy far more than Minecraft Dungeons. Forza Motorsport has some of the best graphics ever seen in a game. 

A lot of the smaller titles also look like fun and coming to Game Pass Day One is great. I will be kept busy enough that is for sure.

I enjoy a wide variety of titles from the biggest AAA titles to the smaller indie titles and the showcase had a decent amount of both. Best showcase so far this month.

Meh.

Looks fine to me.

I'm willing to bet it will be Arkane's most successful and popular game ever released too, Lol.

I think it's just a whiplash because it's not what people expect from Arkane, it and Deathloop are arguably outside of what you'd expect from Arkane so there's uncertainty but I remember Deathloop being dragged before release too and it turned out amazing, Arkane doesn't miss except practically all of Arkane's titles underperform sales wise, Lol.

I am hoping it is more like Ninja Gaiden. I've been wanting a new entry/spiritual successor for years. Generally speaking Souls like games are too hard for me to put the time into. 

Well, they'll probably have a presence since they had a presence last year, but will it actually be a proper showcase is the question. Last year's Xbox TGS showcase was basically a big nothing burger, nothing new announced, just rehashes of trailers from E3, an interview with Shinji Mikami, some JP Minecraft creators showing off stuff, and the announce of xCloud coming to Japan.

I hope not. I hate these ultra hard Souls likes, Sekiro is the only one I have tried so far and I failed miserably, hit a brick wall on both timelines I couldn't get past after trying like 2 hours on each timeline. Team Ninja already has Nioh for that Souls audience, I want something easier and faster paced like Ninja Gaiden out of Wo Long.

Yeah, I'm sure that more of the JP series I want to see on Xbox will come, it's just that they'll take time, and my patience has worn thin after such a long wait on some of these games/series. 

I can live with Souls style slow combat with dodging and parrying and such, but I need multiple difficulty settings at least. So far the only Souls likes with multiple difficulty settings are Jedi: Fallen Order, Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy, and the upcoming Jedi: Survivor and Black Myth: Wukong.
