BioShock Infinite is like playing some homeless guy's vivid imagination
Honestly one of the best E3 conferences I've ever seen.
Solid 9/10
No filler, all games. Even if I didn't care for some of the games, as a general approach to appealing to us gamers Microsoft really fucking delivered.

Titanfall looked really cool but that was the best game there.
Ryse looked really good but wasn't impressed with the gameplay, was mainly QTE from what they've shown and I hate QTE.
The Max game for 360 looked really cool, I like the art style for it.
$499 is way above what I would pay for a console nowadays.
Still don't want to pay for Live.
All of the surface stuff just seems like a gimmick that a very small amount of people will actually use.

Nothing about this conference spoke to me as a gamer. Bad pricing doesn't help. 3/10

Showing multiplat games at an e3 press conference is the dumbest thing in the world.

great games, steep price, but I was coming in thinking it would be terrible
the rumors of an underpowered console proven false? micosoft only one promising 60 frames? lets see that sony press conference

As a press conference I thought it was very well done and effective. I don't care about technical hiccups, that happens, it's fine.
I think most of the games looked cool even if a lot of them aren't anything that excites me personally.
Expensive.... but honestly, who expected next gen to be cheap? I predict PS4 will be the same price.

the games were okay but not great so i'd have given it a 6 or 7 out of 10
but then DAT PRICE
so -$499 seems the appropriate response

7.5/10. I'm pretty cynical, but I saw some pretty decent AAA (forza) and an indie title (Below) and some stuff in between (Crimson dragon) that all got my attention. Good to seem games looking good (Frostbite 3)
I have the worst violent shoot fatigue, but holy shit did Titanfall look fun.
$499 is hight.
Ball is still in Sony's court for my $$

I thought this was a really good conference in terms of introducing a bunch of titles on various genres. Lots of announcements, exclusives, and a surprising amount of gameplay for lots of them. It does kinda show that the leap to next-gen isn't that great though, since most of it was just better looking version of stuff we already have. Nothing particularly groundbreaking.
The price was awful though. That'll probably haunt MS the most unless Sony fucks it up even more later.

Dead Rising 3 looks amazing, as does TitanFall, and Quantum Break.
D4 looks interesting but the implied Kinect gameplay is disappointing.
Genuinely surprised at the lack of Kinect demos, though. Kudos, Microsoft.

9/10 as far as games go. I'll subtract two points each for price and drm for an overall score of 5/10.

Only game I'm slightly interested in that's exclusive is Crimson Dragon, and that's whatever as it is.

- nothing new about the restrictive DRM
- most interesting titles imo were multiplatform
- $500 for weak hardware

8/10. Good conference, lots of games even if many weren't REALLY exclusives.
Still won't buy an Xbone.

I'd give it a C-, and that's being generous. Not enough that really stood out for me in terms of exclusives, and nothing that made me forget about the debacle surrounding the console itself.
Presentation:
Microsoft delivered a solid, well paced conference with some decent surprises, but like last year, things were leaked out months before. However, . I was surprised by the lack of a price cut for Xbox 360, and the presentation was slightly hurt by audio going out during two of the game trailers for Crimson Dragon and Battlefield 4. Overall, Microsoft kept its promise to focus on games and leave the other shit out that most of us were underwhelmed by during the initial unveiling of the Xbox One.
Announced games:
I imagine Xbox fans are content with it, but I'd lower it to a 6.5 score on a personal note. There were too many shooters and cinematic games with streamlined gameplay. That stuff just isn't my cup of tea and Xbox One's next-gen graphics didn't wow me much either (and this is coming from someone who didn't do much gaming on an HD console/PC in the last generation). Xbox Live remains behind a pay wall which is a major deal breaker, and the $499 price along with the Microsoft's anti-consumer policies further demonstrate that Xbox brand just is not for me. The only games that interested me were Dark Souls 2, Witcher 3, and

Quantity over quality, 5/10. So tired of military shooters.
FM 5 and Quantum Break looked good I guess.
I'm sure the new Halo is gonna be quality as well, but they didn't really show anything and we knew it was coming so it doesn't really count.
Still pissed off about what DR 3 is shaping up to be.
Ryse looked great at first as I'm a junkie for Roman stuff but the game itself looks incredibly lame to me. I would kill for a GTA style game set in ancient Rome, guess I'll have to wait. Maybe Ryse 2 is gonna pull a RDR and go open world, who knows xd
To sum it up, it's extremely unlikely I'm getting a Xbone, certainly not at launch.

The price sucked and some of the games werent that impressive but this is the type of conference everyone always wants. No dancing, singing, random celebrities, and little Kinect.

The best Xbox E3 conference in years. Even though it was lacking in terms of Xbox One exclusives I was interested in (Killer Instinct aside) it still had plenty of great games I'm looking forward to. (MGSV, Dark Souls II, TitanFall, The Witcher 3)
If they lose points on anything, its the price point of $499.
