I saw more games announced that interested me in 45 minutes (3.5) at Bethesda than in 2 hours at Microsoft (2).
MS: 6
Bethesda: 6
EA: 5
Come on down Division 2!!!!!!!!!

8 seconds of .5 second long quickly cut clips barely register as gameplay for me.
I mean, it's not his fault the show didn't end up being what people online convinced themselves it would be. At least that's my take on what he means there.
Still could have said something in a more tasteful fashion.

Habitual liar complains about people on message boards. That's adorable.
Actually, Hines' response isn't out of line from the comment its responding to.

Reminds me of Boyes last year. They put a lot of work into these events and understandably want people to be happy. I understand the tweet. Not cool though.

This conference would've been garbage to me without Starfield rumors, they just offered hope lol.
Isn't that the only rule?
wow, almost can't believe this is real. Masterclass in PR

This conference was unnecessary. Hell it was unnecessary last year but I guess we were just being polite.

This sounds salty but I identify with it tho. I wish I had those 40m back.

In their defense, Bethesda didn't bloviate or stretch things out. They showcased their current offerings and what they've got coming out in the immediate future and got out of there. I would've liked more reveals but if they're not ready to announce, this wasn't a terrible way to go about it.

He's right tho.
What did you expect? They basically laid out how their conference is going to be when they announced it. As in what was being shown and what not.
It was a great showing for just featuring 2017 games.

Okay, Sorry i'm not impressed with what they showed. This game comes out in less then 4 months. I was expecting them to show more in their announce trailer. TEW ended up being a huge disappointment to me and I was hoping they would really wow me with the sequel but then they show a 97% CG trailer for a game coming out so soon... No sorry... I can't get excited for that anymore.
They did, though. They recapped the last five years of Bethesda games and they made a reaction montage for an ESO expansion that already came out. Not to mention that half of their future offerings are either Skyrim or Fallout 4-related.
He should take a deep breath and back away from the keyboard.
Not sure if this is still part of the conference.

lol. Saying "nobody is excited" about something a creator is working on, you deserve a smart-mouthed response. He's not excited and I'm not either, but that's not everybody.

They announce (out of the top of my head) The Evil Within 2, Skyrim for Switch, a new Wolfenstein, Doom VFR and a version of Fallout 4 completely playable in VR, in a short and sweet Show without any dragging and that's still not good enough? What is wrong with you people?

Didn't watch the previous two conferences but this one was dog shit.
The only worthwhile reveals were Dishonored 2 DLC (CGI trailer, yay), TEW2 (trippy-ass bullshit CGI trailer with dreadful music that put me off) and Wolfenstein reveal that they dragged out as much as possible with nonsensical editing.
The rest was just embarrassing.
Probably the shortest conference I've ever watched, yet the most insultingly boring. A true achievement.

No idea.
They did recap their latest games but so what? (Though a Doom expansion would have been good news)
They showed a new Wolfenstein, so it was a win ;p
What did you want them to show? Or even expect them to show? They are not a massive company, doing content for a their big franchise (Fallout), dlc for well received games from recent year (fallout, dishonoured), 2 brand new sequels to well received games (TEW, Wolfenstein) and talking about their biggest franchises recent expansion (elder scrolls).
Honestly apart from announcing ES6 there is basicly nothing they could have done. So I repeat, what did you expect/want them to do with the time they had?

It's the same games again and again, and not mostly what people want(Fallout and Elder Scrolls). I bet if that Starfield were real this conference would look better.

So why did he have to insult a third party, not the guy he received the insult from?

They actually did finally show some clips of gameplay for Evil Within 2 at the end of the trailer even though it didn't seem like they were going to.
I think the big issue is just that people wanted a Bethesda (the game studio) conference and instead got a Bethesda (the publisher) conference.
But I think the only new things that were announced that we didn't know were on the way were Doom VFR and the Dishonored 2 DLC. It felt more like a "the year in review" video.
Can't wait to see the system requirements for Fallout 4 VR. That game does, uh, not run well.

Nothing. This wasn't worth a conference. Don't show up if you haven't got enough material to last 20 minutes.

Class act.
But now that they have the space for their own conference, why do they need to run for a arbitrary period of time? This way they have the entire say of when and how they wish to demonstrate their games.
They don't get sandwiched in with 40 other games. They get to show their games with pride. Not even mentioning what it would look like if they stepped away now, it would not look good for their investors or gamers for that matter. Showing that this year (if they didn't have an E3 conference that year) , they don't even think their current crop of hot new releases deserve their E3 presentation moment.

would seem like a better business decision to just do a direct like nintendo. There was nothing earth shattering here, and hines only came on stage twice(?), and basically said nothing of importance. Not really sure what the point of having a stage was for this.People watched a video for 99% of it

Sounds like good advice to me. I'm shaking my head at some people in here clutching their pearls, when we all know the bullshit that idiots spew out all over online message boards every single day, never mind just at this time of year.
Edit: I was quite disappointed with Bethesda's conference as well, but beauty's in the eye of the beholder, I was just hoping for an announcement from Todd Howard on what BGS have coming next. Sequels to The Evil Within and Wolfenstein don't do much for me, but if you loved those two then I guess you'll (quite rightly) be happy.
So people are fucking idiots.
