This was pretty poor, IMO.

The games I was interested in, Steller Blade and Rise of the Ronin I am less interested in now.

Was hoping DS2 would do something different, but just rinse and repeat DS1.

No Concord.


Pretty poor showing.

Looks like it could be fun but damn it is not impressive visually at all and some things look embarrassingly bad lol.
 
D+ for me. Ronin and Helldivers were the best parts.
 
Death Stranding 2 looks like a rinse and repeat of the boring gameplay of the first game. Coming 2025

The only thing worse than the gameplay is the story telling. Death Stranding is like the Rebel Moon of video games, complete nonsense from an individual who hasn't been relevant for 15 years.

Not to bring other consoles into this, but Hellblade 2 gets a lot of s*** for being a walking simulator. Death Stranding 1&2 look similar.

Beautiful and wild. But wtf is it?

Ronin looked good.

Overall a very Japanese centric showing.

C-

It was much better than the recent Xbox event, but it still wasn't very good. FF7R and DD2 were the only games I was interested in.

Hellblade is a short game and the story continues as you are traversing.

DS1 I spent about 25 hours walking vast distances with very little story progression.

Still waiting for those Xbox games.
If and when it happens I'm sure it'll be xbox that makes the announcement and they'll probably do it through a tweet or Phil will make the rounds and talk about the strategy behind it.

FF7 rebirth is having a dedicated sop Feb 6 😜

They are going to hype the megaton s*** out of this game.
 
It seems those that own a PS5 might be exited with what's ahead. That's great if true. It's the very same reason, I don't own one. Very little for me to make a purchase.

Same can be said for Xbox.

I own one and am not excited....like at all. Hopefully Concord is shown soon and looks good. Seems to be PS5's last hope for 2024.

I own an XSS too and Xbox has at least 3 games I'm excited for.
