I thought it was okay. I'm looking forward to several games this year and early next year, so I'm pretty satisfied. Most companies had horrible conferences though.

I love how PlayStation's dominance every generation makes fanboys throw fits.

It was total ass.
Best bits:
1. Cyberpunk w/Keanu
2. BOTW 2 announcement
3. Animal Crossing release date
Sony was right to sit this out. MS was what I was looking forward to most but it was eh overall. Halo + Scarlett was disappointing. Basically just a dumb teaser for Halo and then a stupid codename for next gen Xbox. Sony beat MS but they just came out and said it while MS had to put on a big spectacle for pretty much the same thing (oh it has an AMD cpu/gpu and super duper ultra speedy fast SSD!!!!!!!!)

Okay because of Nintendo, Square and Gamepass to PC. Rest was very meh.
Late gen E3 always suck as ant megatons are going to be saved for making s splash the following year when new hardware is officially unveiled (mostly at platform events rather than E3 these days. E3 is becoming a relic of the past with how easy it is for platform holders and big publishers to have their own events or do Nintendo Direct/State of Play style streams.

It was pretty disappointing. Cyberpunk and Watch Dogs were the only game that made me go "I have to buy this on day one".

If not for Nintendo/Square Enix it would have been awful. Microsoft was borderline decent, the rest was awful.

The Nintendo Direct was where most of the actual gameplay footage came from, and they had some great games and surprises. That said, Directs are just videos, so it could have been played during E3 or Labor Day or some random Thursday and had the same effect. E3 itself was ok. There were definitely less exciting announcements, MUCH less gameplay footage, and too much hidden for the sake of "next gen".
Maybe i missed something, but it seems like this year had less cringe moments too, which I always enjoyed about E3. Where were the Xbox dancers and actors, the Ubisoft models playing laser tag, the Nintendo execs playing wii music, or the high profile actors not giving a shit about the thing they're there to endorse (Keanu gets a pass here)? I guess it's more professional without that stuff, but that was half of what made E3s memorable. 2010 is still my all time favorite E3 and it had very little to do with the games announced.

Fable is one of this games that just make more sense to save for when they officially reveal the next Xbox next year. They need a lot of games to make a splash and get people to upgrade. Nothing is going to move the needle dramatically on PS4 or Xbox One hardware sales this late in the generation. Nintendo is different as they’re off cycle and we’re probably at least 3 years away from a true, next gen Switch. They’ll do their own mid gen refresh with a more portable version and slightly more powerful version (ala New 3DS/PS4 Pro/Xbox One X) to keep it going.

I went with good. Nintendo's was great, but basically everything else brought down the average for me, besides Star Wars and FF 7 Remake which I really liked.

I expected MS to use this time without sony to blow out some gameplay of gears5, halo etc to get people hyped.
Instead they acted like a shy school girl.

Huge hooray for Nintendo and Square Enix (that Seiken Densetsu 3 remake was really something). Huge meh for MS, Bethesda and everything else.
In the average it was OK.

Nintendo redeemed it for me, but if you don't own a Switch nor plan to get one, E3 was terrible.

I voted that it was good. It wasn't great, and since I really only cared about Nintendo it was good. I've got more than enough games coming out that I'm interested in until next Summer.
And yeah, even though Sony wasn't really there, there's enough games coming out on PS4 that it's all good.

Overall C- there were things that I were interested, but overall it felt like the end of the generation.

One of the most disappointing E3's of all time for me personally. That being said, I just think it was the quiet before the storm. Next year will be pretty big as Sony and Xbox put their new consoles up there in full force. That always makes things more exciting.

Nah. A good press conference would have been good. Sony gets an F for not showing up.
But I do get it, if you don't have anything of substance at all to present, don't bother.

Nah if Sony wanted to show things of substance they could have easily gave us updated footage of Tlou2, Concrete genie, Ghost of T, Saved Deaths Stranding info, Wire article info could have been done onstage, got fromsoft to do elden reveal instead of Micro like thy have in the past, had COD next installment up there some other third parties and few tidbits on next unknown exclusives. It's bs to say they had nothing to show when for countless E3's in the past Micro has been given a pass on showing bs like Recore, State of Decay, Forza, Crack Down 3, Halo, Sea of Thieves, etc for more than one E3 which Sony could have done as well. This E3 at least Microsoft showed new stuff but it was mostly low budget AA stuff many didnt care for.
It's ridiculous and naive to think thy had nothing to show when what we saw from the competition was mostly third party games and indie AA exclusives. Sony on their worst days could top tht with few minutes of tlou2, Ghost of T. Etc Sony just holding out and strategically decided not to go to E3 thts the bottom line has nothing to do with content when we all know thy held back especially on next Gen console reveal.
My point
Sony could have easily done a show better than the competition if they thought strategically it would benefit them but they chose not to. My second point be careful how you present conferences because honestly that conference just pushed me towards not getting a Scarlet next Gen thts how bad I thought it was.
