This year's Sony E3 was garbage so there's an argument to be made for that one lol.
But this wasn't good either, took a lot of time to say not very much. I'm happy they're still making moves over at Microsoft, though.

Wait the bought inxile? Wasteland 2 was n fantastic. So Microsoft just rebuilt blackisle studio? Friggin awesome
I mean, I'd argue that Obsidian have historically been more of a AAA RPG studio than a CRPG studio--their first ever game was KotOR II, after all. They only went back to doing throwback CRPGs 'cause all their AAA deals fell apart.
Were there any new announcements?
Honestly that was a terrible show and I'm not sure why I watched it, but I can't lie I want an Xbox One more now than ever and Microsoft's future feels really bright so, I guess it was good?
Don't overlook those sales either. 100$ off every console over holidays is very enticing.

Only caught the last 30-ish minutes, the Major Nelson ad was easily the highlight (Obsidian was pretty much already confirmed by Jason, so hard to really be surprised by that). Can't actually remember anything that was announced before that ad.
With all the focus on Gamepass, I was kind of expecting it to be brought to PC as well. Oh well.
That jokes about Microsoft not having 1st party really affected them...
Let's see if their financial support will be enough for the studios to bring cool projects.

I fell like I say this for most of these things. Better to just come back afterwards and watch the announcements you're interested in on your own time.
I never learn though...
Thought it was fine. I posted several times over the last few weeks that my expectations were not high to begin with. I wanted to see the Forza 4 DLC and that looked great, wanted to Crackdown and that looked good and SoT which also was good. Everything else beyond that was gravy. The confirmation of Obsidian and in addition to the other studio was a surprise to me. So overall it was a fine and glad I did not have lofty expectations that some of you had.
Enjoyed it but glad I went in with no expectations.
A inside Xbox with Game Pass and studio annocuments is what we got

That was never gonna happen. Why would they waste time during their Xbox show about a game coming to steam that Microsoft isn't even publishing?
Well... that was dull. You can tell they're clearly more focused on the next generation at this point. DLC/Gamepass announcements do not make for a good show.
I appreciate the effort, but this would be far better perhaps if they ran it shortly after / before the next gen Xbox is released.

Holy shit, that was horrible. I expected a Sony PGW-level show with at least one new game announcement but nope. This should have never been tied to X0.
They shouldn't have done it at all. I understand having nothing to show yet but I don't get why they did it.
An abysmal showing. My expectations were non-existent, but this managed to be disappointing.
It was an absolute train wreck for me.

That was a really fun show. Note to self though: Don't read Era whilst watching the next one. Embarrassing.
I have no idea what InXile means for Xbox, as I've never seen anyone hyped for any of their games. Xbox fans will now obviously hype up their studio's games - interested to see what they make going forward.
Matt Booty said that he doesn't plan to mess with their independence and is allowing them to retain their culture, so if what Chris Avellone said about the upper management of Obsidian is true then that's a "welp", but they've made some good games, so... very uncertain.

Has Battletoads been stealth delayed to 2020 and possibly Scarlett? No mention of it in the games coming in 2019
What did they even do at last years PSX? All I recall is them sitting on couches telling stories.
C = Computer (although I think some people call it "Classic" now). But like Neverwinter Nights, Baldur's Gate and Divinity style games
W = Western. Games like Fallout, Elder Scrolls, etc.
Not a great showing. Some nice announcements but it didn't deliver on what I was hoping for.
I was hoping for more original Xbox games being added to backwards compatibility. Some bigger name games with mouse and keyboard support - although they hit Fortnight.
I was hoping for X enhancements to Xbox One games too.

I have never ever saw something like this. Who was responsible for this schedule. I mean WTF
ANY announcement could be done per blog post or so. It's of course great for the people there to play games and so on but for us. This was so fucking shitty after E3. Jesus

No Halo, No Gears, No Banjo, No Battletoads, No new OG backward comp games.
Why did MS hype this up again?

My biggest dislike is that they showed too little from the smaller games, like the ID@Xbox games. Lots of talking about games in general, but not much showing them off.
Gotta give Kudos to Matt and CapCom for how they showed off DMCV. Great way of both talking about it and showing the game.

User Banned (1 Week) : Platform warring. Long history of infractions.
This all Microsoft could get, mediocre studios on the verge of bankruptcy looking to sell fast for a buck
Well at least the developers got a secure job now and more funding so that's a good thing
Still I honestly can't see any of these studios ever producing anything big like kind of God of war or Uncharted level
Feels like some people just want everything to fail which is disappointing.
I think it's the opposite. They are taking two fairly established devs with dedicated fanbases and a style of development/game that has been working and adding that to their portfolio to pad out GamePass. Not everything on a sub service is going to be able to be a huge budget AAA, or a GaaS. You need that variety, not just in genres and game types but in budget and scope.
