Xbox Events

Look at all the b****ing going on. Lol

And I don't really know why. MS had a good show. Especially if you're in the gamepass ecosystem. There is literally a new game for me to try from now until November.

Where was all this when I was single and without children? Now I don't have enough hours in the day between gamepass's offerings, Sony's 1st party and Nintendo's 1st party.
 
I play alot of Sea of Thieves and loved seeing Jack Sparrow. Flight Simulator looked unbelievable. Almost photo realistic.

I haven't seen the show yet (just a couple of trailers) cause I was golfing but look forward to seeing the whole thing.
 
When they mentioned Skyrim's anniversary during the press conference, I was shocked they didn't announce next gen enhancements coming.

The SDF boys here are doing some MAJOR meltdowns. Especially Jerry.

I think that will be pretty much all the games that’s cross gen . I expect from Next E3 onwards it will be X/S only games. It’s going to be awkward for Xbox at first, having to distinguish X/S only games on Gamepass, especially whilst still pushing it on last gen.

Forza was the best looking 1st party game they showed and it didn't do them any favors to show "in engine" footage before the actual gameplay, you could see it was lower quality by quite a bit and that didn't have to happen.

They are still hiding Halo, even the gameplay said "in engine" so it was likely being prettied up a bit compared to true gameplay and it didn't even say running on series x, it still has a generic holiday release time frame too.

Calling that footage of Starfield "gameplay" is hilarious, it was all a cinematic, most everything that showed actual gameplay was indie or AA at best other than Battlefield which I thought was underwhelming, it looks like it's going to be really hard to see the other players and I hated the look of that Neon city at night with the dust storm, that's going to be a s*** map to play on for visibility.

The Ascent is timed exclusive like I thought but still one of the more interesting looking games they have and I'm really looking forward to it, was nice to see the release date for the Diablo 2 remake as well.

The biggest thing out of the event, is Gamepass and they made a strong case.

now some bullet points

hype:
horizon 5, stalker 2. Horizon looks stunning. Gonna miss the snow though.

okayish
Halo MP, looks decent fun.

dissappointed:
Plague tale 2. why turn Amicia, our protagonist in first game into another boring asskicking empowering woman. The charm of the first game is she was just a regular teenager caught in unfortunate struggle and period and doing her best and using her wits to overcome odds and help her brother.

halo SP. I had hoped they show some updated visuals to ease the MEME & shut any trolling of halo visuals. We get instead a boring cutscene that doesn’t do much or show much visuals.

Rest:
CGI never interested me, & most preheat games taht show some gameplay are meh-ish, or already known, like far cry 5.
 
This is also a story mode, which is more of what people have been asking for.
That's cool, it's too bad this isn't a game you can play on your own in any real way, the AC games with Naval combat were always a lot of fun but I wanted something that was more just about pirates without the Assassin's stuff involved. Ubisoft is making Skull and Bones but that's a multiplayer game and I don't think it has anything other than naval combat. I think having a mix of naval and 3rd person action/combat is the best way to do a pirate game.

A Pirate game without dancing with the governor's daughter is a non-starter, of course it might be that I'm just way too fond of the original Pirates Gold by Sid Meier.
