Meh!

Most were bro dude games and FPS!

Only Quantum break and Project spark were really good!

Ryse turned out to be a joke. Graphics were ok I guess!

Below sounds interesting.
 
Solid 7/10. Showed enough to pique interest in it. Lots of new IP which was refreshing as hell and brought back enough to keep interest. $499 was a bit much for launch price but still kinda not in the ridiculous end of launch prices (Saturn and PS3 were probably worse)

Also Microsoft's mission to fuck with everyone's Bingo cards was a success with no TV at all. So there's your surprise of the conference.
 
4/10

I am only really really interested in Quantom Break and D4. Dead rising 3 is also interesting but all this "cloud" shit that helps run AI or whatever sounds atrocious and i don't fucking want it. Keep your cloud bullshit out of my games. I don't play multiplayer and i don't want to have to rely on my internet being up when i play my games. Also, $499? No thanks.

I will buy xbox one but it will be when i can get one for $199.
 
6/10, pretty good, MGSV impressed me but not exclusive. Son Of Rome looks great but too much QTE. Dead Rising looked more open world, interesting but might be timed exclusive.
QB had excellent graphics but showed no gameplay.

So far I wont be buying it on launch, maybe later.
 
4/10. Most exclusives looked weak, most games were multiplatform, $499.

They basically gave me no reason to want this system instead of the PS4 or a PC.
 
Solid B+. Didn't show anything that looked like garbage, no Kinect hand-waving demos. price'll come down quick, and still expect a subscription-based payment scheme.
 
Games looked dull (for the most part)
Smartglass better not be the next "Better with Kinect"
Very few Kinect games shown (this is a plus)
$499 lol

5/10
Decidedly average.
 
People are still pissed about the DRM. It's hilarious.


It was a good conference, games, exclusives, barely any Kinect, gameplay shown.
 
I'd give it a 9. The price doesn't surprise me nor phase me.

I think it was smart to announce the price, and then show TitanFall. Because I don't care how much it costs, I want that game. It looks amazing.
 
6/10

Good score due to no kinect or much "social" stufff.

Quite meh though due to the similar feel of every game except that Overdrive one...Also Ryse looked cool (wished they skipped those QTE:s though).

499eur

Not buying..
 
For me... 7/10

Shooters everywhere...

Lack of indie games...

I missed an exclusive RPG (bye, Japan)...

Sound failures!!!

The Good:
Quantum Break, looks promising
 
A solid 8.5/10. Heavy on the shooters but most look fun. It was about what I expected in terms of games though. They really used the one billion dollars.
 
Good games, like the indies, 3rd party games look amazing (W3 + B4). Titanfall also looked good.

Ryse looks great, but classic Crytek. Looks great, dull gameplay.

But the price and the DRM is still a burning issue.

6/10
 
6/10, maybe 7/10

it was alright, it was all games and very little kinect so at least they learned something from before

none of the exclusives really got me excited, spark and titanfall could be good but that's about it
 
7/10.

Some great games, some good.

Nothing really a day 1 BUT some I would like to play.

Price is pretty damn high for what was shown.
 
7/10

Twitch alone moved it from a 6/10 to a 7/10. It's a big feature for me and a lot of others. It's basically free advertising for MS too, I'm hoping PS4 can get Twitch as well but I bet MS is spending to not let that happen.

The games were OK, not really my demo for most. Project Spark was neat though.

$499 seems steep, but it depends on Sony's price
 
Pretty unimpressive really. Same old stuff but with shinier graphics plus a few uninspiring looking exclusives. Forza 5, MGS5 and Witcher 3 all looked great, but two of those are PS4 (if i'm wrong I stand corrected) bound too. 5/10 and with all the DRM stuff/console price to take into account - xbone is a distinctly unappealing proposition for me.
 
Really? 3/10 2/10? Show more games? I've always been Sony, but that was pretty impressive the amount of games they showed. KI3, MGS5, Ryse, Titanfall, Dead Rising 3, Halo, Darksouls 2, Insomniac Exclusive game, Crimson Dragon, Witcher 3, Quantum Break... you guys are nuts!

8.5/10. I'd liked to see more new IP's like Gears of War, Resistance, Heavenly Sword, Lair, Kameo, like the last generation. But I was impressed with the amount of games they showed and lack of Kinect was nice.
 
4/10

Not at all impressed with Microsoft's exclusives, nor with what we're actually getting for the price. I wasn't expecting a generational jump w/ graphics in light of the leaked specs, but that was probably the most underwhelming aspect IMO. Clearly it will improve as more games are released and as developers become more familiar with the hardware, but I definitely remember being more 'blown away' by the initial PS3/360 games relative to their PS2/GCN/Xbox predecessors than with anything Microsoft unveiled today.
 
10/10

I still find the DRM and Gold repulsive, but that was about as good as a game conference gets. Best I've seen anyway.

* Showed Forza and explained what the cloud meant for that game.
* Master Chief + War Sphinx + 60fps == I almost had a fucking heart attack.
* We got to witness a public display of murder on-stage in real time as Infinity Ward's COD was exposed as the barren and lifeless husk that it is, as Battlefield stabbed it in the heart and stole its dog tags. At 60fps. I wouldn't have been surprised if it ended with the squad roasting a combat dog on a spit. I mean, God damn.
* TitanFall looks Gods damn incredible. These guys have not lost their touch and I wouldn't want to be a game releasing anywhere near the launch wake of that one.
* Xbox 360 hardware refresh. OK.
* Xbone dated and priced.

Very few charts and tables and business data points, a modicum of marketing bullshit about Gold that we expected, and smartglass looks as half-baked as we probably assumed, but they kept the focus on the games, and for that it'll be a hard one to top for style and substance.

I hope Sony obliterates this console's DRM and subscription plans, but I'd be surprised if their conference was more exciting. I expect more gameplay variety though.
 
Shooterfest, exclusives hardly interesting, Dead Rising lost its goofy charm and was too "gritty/serious" for me to care.

Below seemed interesting but not something the 360 can't pull

Tons of CGI

Yawn
 
I'm excited to buy MGSV on PS4, might check out Titanfall on PC, and think Sunset Overdrive, D4, Crimson Dragon, and Below will make many people very happy.

Unfortunately, with the DRM and the price, I will not be an Xbox One owner.

7/10, I guess. At least it was 100% games, even if most of them weren't my thing.
 
6/10, 3/5, Decent/good conference.

There were only real games (no casual/facebook/corporate shit) but that's how E3 conferences are supposed to be like anyway.

I loved MGS5, Titanfall, D4, Dark Souls 2, The Witcher 3 and Crimson Dragon but with the €499 price and the DRM, even the greatest games wouldn't make me buy the Xbox One.
 
The games they show were impressive, I can't deny it. And OMG Killer Instinct is back!

But I'm not jumping in this time, I will torture myself but I have no choise.

I must stay strong.

8.5/10
