Last year I expected nothing, but as it got close I started feeling kinda hyped and hopeful. This year, nothing. I'm dead inside. I think it will be a bad conference through and through, with little announced in the way of exclusives and a lot of multiplats shown. And the 499 price will be the cherry of shit on top.
Personally the price doesn't directly affect me at all, I have a PC and don't need a Scorpio. But I want it to be as successful as possible to spring more games into the Xbox platform. 499 will be the talk of E3 no matter how good the rest of their conference is. It's a big mistake.
Ironically the two new exclusive announcements I expected are exactly the games that got leaked. It might really be all they have. I really hope not, but I find it hard to believe otherwise.
