What's with all this 'Exclusive! Exclusive! Exclusive!' being shouted at us every two minutes? Are they being held back for a period of time, or is it a console exclusive, or a Xbox/Windows 10 exclusive, or a paid-for exclusive?
I'm sick of hearing that word already.
Ooh, The Last Night caught my attention. It's by far and away the highlight of an otherwise dull show so far!
p.s. Is it me or does Crackdown 3 look worse than its initial reveal? Where's all the destruction and mayhem?
@Peek-a-boo Oh Lol! Yes, it seems I am in utter agreement with you ^^. Thanks for the link. It's lovely. Everything else seemed so generic or over produced! (...and they just glossed over Crackdown! It looked very disappointing!) Edit* Ye, Cuphead was amazing too.
Apart from The Last Night, little bits of Cuphead (how has this yet to been released though?) and the OG Xbox backwards compatibility, this was a mostly forgettable conference. In fact, I would go as far to say that it is just about on par with the equally forgettable conference this time last year.
And pricing the Xbox One X at $499 means that it is likely to be DoA everywhere except in America.
Sony will only have to 'turn up' tomorrow and show the games they announced last year as well as a few new ones.
A really, really disappointing effort by Microsoft...
I loved it. Maybe because of EA's pres yesterday and boredom. but I enjoyed it mostly from start to finish. Found a lot of the games interesting. I might buy an XBox depending on how the games shape out.
Well, Ori and The Will of the Wisps is going to be a class A masterpiece, without question. But other than that nothing really grabbed me. No Sakaguchi exclusive from Mistwalker especially hurts. Maybe it'll be on Switch, who knows.
The Xbox BC is nice (still waiting on Tales of Vesperia for 360 BC... eh ehm), but ya, the rest was just kinda meh. Anthem looks fantastic though, even if I am wary of Bioware. And it's multiplat, although I'll be buying all multiplats for Xbox One X now.

@JaxonH Andromeda was the B-team, Anthem is their main team, so I'm a little more hopeful. Metro looked good as well, but that segment was heavily scripted.
Thought it was okay, although nothing much piqued my interest. I'm in no rush to run out and pick an Xbox One X at this point. The price point is very much expected, since we're looking at a budget "gaming PC" console that can output native 4K. Yes, glorious, glorious.... 4K.
@-Green- Yeah, as somebody who kinda just tuned in I ended up enjoying it. Definitely a solid B.
Glad to see Code Vein confirmed for the system (my previous avatar here was from that). Like how they didn't have a whole lot of PR and focused more on trailers.
Also can't believe I'd never really heard of the Metro series.

A lot of people like Metro. I thought it was boring as heck though. One of the few games I actually regretted buying, and I rarely regret buying games. Just felt so... generic. And the gameplay didn't really stand out to me either. I guess it has renown because the story was written by some famous author? Idk. I didn't stick around long enough to see it through.

Conference was good. Not bad, but not amazing either. I liked the games, but I can play most of them on my PS4. Multiplatform is always better, but this also means I have no interest in getting an Xbox anytime soon.
