So far nothing has super wowed me.

Game pass is a great value, but a lot of stuff in there I wouldn't have bought seperately.

But so far, I would give this show a C-.


Will increase if starfield is at least decent.

There are people in here that really have no idea that this show is all about pushing Game Pass.

most of the games shown so far I'd try because I already have game pass, but not sign up for game pass to play if that makes sense.

that's not to say it's a bad show, but if I didn't have GP and/or an Xbox, it wouldn't be moving the needle for me to jump in personally.

It just feels like they are cramming everything that was trailer ready + releases in the next year + is on Game Pass into that show. They are showig lots of stuff, but it all feels underwhelming.

They should have just released everything as individual trailers instead of a conference. Not impressed.

This show has a lot of filler that usually just gets dumped unceremoniously on Youtube by the other companies but even if its just a giant ad for Gamepass its nice to see a good amount of indie stuff.

Also lol at Obsidian's "Disco Elysium".

Yea, Pentiment will be an amazing well-written game and impactful.

Just not sold on the art style.

This event so far has been "Gamepass Fodder the Show", no one would even give most of these games the time of day if they weren't on gamepass day one. MS needs to stop relying on this shit for all there conferences.

I think it's better this way so these games get some time to build attention rather than fighting for scraps after the fact. It's been a very diverse show so far in terms of game types/genres, and folks are upset they aren't being catered to by focusing on at most 1-2 genres only. It's sad.
Agreed, though I think in that case it could be done in its own more branded show than making the main show 90 mins long, which makes it feel a little bit like padding (with all due respect with the devs of these games, most of which look great!)

Is Naraka good? It's at least a unique take on a BR so I'm interested.
Yes it plays great but its monetization is meh and at least the last time I played it the lacked region lock was annoying as you get a lot of players with very high pings(Speaking from EU prespective) which makes it difficult to play.
