Let's see what MS home games with have just single player only.
I enjoyed it
I think people go into these things overhyped. This is the end of a generation folks, remember, you-know-who didn't even show up.
I hate to tell people, but not everyone in the Xbox fan world loves Gears as much. E3 is about hype, not gameplay. Just google it and you'll find tons of videos from people playing at E3. They aren't "hiding" anything.
I would have loved to see specific games (Forza? Fable?), but my gosh, that was an hour and 45 minutes of games. Plus an Elite controller and a brand new console?
Sometimes the hype comes from the gameplay. Not everyone likes Halo but you can damn sure it will have a demo next year. I have to agree with the notion that it comes off as them not having the confidence in Gears to give it a demo on the big stage.
No matter what it wouldn't be right. There's tons of video footage of gameplay available. Just plug "gears 5 e3" into Youtube.
Spoiler alert- Gears isn't that great. It didn't carry the show because it was never going to. They could have put gameplay on stage and they would have been blasted for "that's all they have".
If we use this logic then why bother with E3 at all.No matter what it wouldn't be right. There's tons of video footage of gameplay available. Just plug "gears 5 e3" into Youtube.

Can not beleive gamers are actually defending no gameplay....well, actually that is a lie, I can beleive it.
You called the gameplay "boring" in the Gears 5 thread. Which means:
a) You found it no problem
b) You didn't like it anyway
Well I don't think anyone would have wanted them to show Horde on stage either
Which is why I'm confused as to why people needed to see it on stage? People are confusing "no gameplay" with not on stage.

No. You are the one confusing things. We are saying "no gameplay on stage" and you are confusing it with no gameplay ever.Which is why I'm confused as to why people needed to see it on stage? People are confusing "no gameplay" with not on stage.
So why bother having E3 conferences at all?
But you don't build hype with these trailers. Look around, people were undewhelmed not hyped.Exactly. They aren't needed to showcase anything anymore. They are just to build some hype.
If E3 was so important, one side wouldn't have skipped completely. Did Sony make a mistake not showing up?

Who is hyped for Bleeding Edge? Virtually nobody.
Sorry, but reality isn't lining up with what you are saying.

I thought they were going to show Scarlette footage. After the intro and tge whole ' will launch with Scarlette" spiel.
If that was Scarlett... YikesI thought they were going to show Scarlette footage. After the intro and tge whole ' will launch with Scarlette" spiel.
All past MS e3 failures in Val's eyes...What are we grading them against exactly? (serious question)
Obviously the real deal is next year, that was obvious. I don't think anybody was expecting an amazeballs show...1. It is MS this gen, 2. It is too late in the gen for that.I had to rewatch the E3 and to be honest now it was an okay show. I really don't know what people want from MS to show when they all know the games that are coming out will be next year (most of them).
Possible to show it off on the next system instead of the current system to show the big difference?
I think MS played it safe and the real deal is next year.
So what did we learn time and time again?
Never get overhyped
Never trust a source because they can lead to disappointment when it is just false
Take it as is when showing something.
