Minus points for Forza (A. stop pronouncing it "Por-SHA", you sound like a complete tool, B. who the hell cares that much about cars), and State of Decay 2 (yawn, I think we're basically at peak zombie now).

 

Plus for AC Origins (damn that looks good) and Anthem, which seems surprisingly robust and diverse. Indies look good too, and The Last Night was weird, cool surprise.

 

Overall, a meh conference with some good games, especially toward the end. I still don't know what Mixer is, but after seeing it mentioned a trillion and a half times, I find that I don't really care.

All the games I liked from this conference were multiplatform, so I'm glad I don't have to buy an xbox.

I care about games, and Xbox showed a lot of them that I like, that is not being a tool, it is being a fanboy. And let me tell you, I'm not a Microsoft fanboy, I'm a games fanboy, and this year Microsoft has won my heart with what they showed. I'm very pumped for the following press conferences.

I didn't say liking the conference made anybody a tool, I said going up on stage and preening about cars made somebody a tool. Some of the games they showed were good, absolutely. The overall presentation was some weird corporate nonsense about Mixer, and a partnership with Porsche, and that's the stuff I didn't care for.

Yeah, the first few minutes were dull, I agree, and I'm a Horizon guy, not a Motorsport guy, so I wasn't really interested in the game. From then on, they showed Metro and my jaw dropped lol.

It was an alright conference. It wasn't a complete snore fest like EA's was (they always have a boring E3 conference). The two games that got the most interest out of me from their conference was Dragon Ball Fighters Z and Code Vein.
