Starfield made it an 11 out of 10. There hasn’t been a game that has made me feel that way while watching it since Titanfall prior to last gen launch. Those kinds of games are very rare.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Yep.
I voted too soon, combined Starfield Direct + Xbox show is definitely in the Fantastic range.

The definition of mid. From first party literally nothing new and only a few of those games had actual gameplay, some games that were announced 3+ years ago btw and still not coming this year.
Some cool games from Atlus though, obviously multiplat, but that's expected.

Yeah, the last Helblade trailer was way more impressive and intense. This one was... OK, I guess, but not sure what was the point. Still hyped as fuck for it.
Clockwork Revolution was a pleasant surprise. I'm pretty fed up with steampunk, but the game looks way better than I thought. And unlike you, I think it looked very polished on the graphical front.
Avowed, on the other hand, dissapointed me a bit. Based on the original trailer I was expecting Obsidian to go Dark Fantasy on it, but instead it feels somewhat like Fable minus the intentional humor, mixed in with Outer Worlds influences. Not quite what I wanted. And the graphics where quite underwelming even account for the dissapointing art direction. On the other hand, the ganmeplay looked good and it's gonna be on Game Pass anyway, so day 1.
Free Dune Expansion for Flight Simulator? Count me in.
And Still Wakes the Deep looks cool, I liked the vibe. Does anyone know if the soundtrack from the trailer is an actual existing song? Loved it, would like to know what it is.
Overall, there was abunch of cool shit in there, I'm pretty impressed. Solid 8 or 9 out of ten. No dissapointment on my side for the show. It was worth getting an XSX yesterday

Who are you trying to call out for his decision?

That was a really good showing and Starfield might be the title to get people to pickup the console. Overall, there were lots of fun looking games and announcements.
Some were still in the future, but at least you have an idea what studios have been working on, with more announcements probably throughout the year.
I'm glad when Microsoft is strong because it puts a fire under Sony's ass and results in amazing titles all around.

In a word? Excellent. Yeah there was some indie garbage and anime shit but even the best E3 ever has that. It’s inevitable unless your show is 25 min.
There is a case study here about what happens when an underdog is hungry and has passion and when a market leader gets lazy and complacent. Arrogant.

voted poster of the decade by bots
Supposed xbot here, tons was missing.....
- no doom, wolfenstein etc
- no perfect dark
- no in game normal driving from forza
- fp action games
- no gears
- no surprise available now game
- series s 1tb should have been $299
On the plus side, starfeild appears to be a system selling exclusive. Fable may be real and actually good. Avowed looking good.
That other gane running at 5fps looked like trash.

How would I rate it? Exceptionally well, as I'll now buy an Xbox.

I don't believe I can do that after the fact.

But the protagonist is ugly. Can’t you at least lower it to a 9 due to that?

I don't know if you've played a fable game before, but usually the player character is customizable.

This is how you can spot someone who has never played Fable.

Incorrect, I’ve actually played Fable and started Fable 3. I just don’t remember customising my character, maybe I just kept brown haired pre-set kid/man?

Not enough gameplay footage overall but happy to see fable, and starfield looked amazing! I'm happy enough with that. Was hoping to see something of the kojima game but not even a teaser. It was a whole lot better than sonys show, that's for sure.

The characters were always horrendous to look at. Plus you can create your own character. Either get over it or don't play it. What a stupid thing to be worried about.

I'm just glad they're not turning it into gritty generic fantasy RPG number 20.
Keep the british humor, it was the franchises defining trait.

It was ok, I want Starfield and i'm interested in Avowed but i more or less already knew they would be there, there wasn't anything else for me other than those 2, Cyberpunk dlc maybe but i haven't played the game in quite a while now, so it didn't excite me.

This
It's one of the few Western RPGs I can get into other than Mass Effect and The Witcher
The humor is a huge part of that franchise and is what hooked me
As for the people complaining about the Character, I can tell they haven't played any of the previous games when you can just create your own
I'm surprised by Starfield. It's scratching that serious Sci Fi WRPG Itch I had ever since Bioware no longer makes good games
I'm not a Bethesda fan. I hated Fallout 3 and that was the last game I played by them. But Starfield is looking fantastic

With all that cgi (edit.. or in game cut scenes) they couldn't give us some Gears?! Starfield and forza (aside from menus .. Look menus!), gameplay was looking good. Probably will get lost in Starfield for longer than I would care to admit.. it looks great. I wanted some perfect dark... Fable brought a smile.
A little dissapointed but far from the car crash I was expecting. Certainly a lot of games which gives some confidence.
They have done enough to keep me interested for 12 months. If that is all they were going for, mission accomplished.

True. People are focusing on the quote unquote ugly character, the final game should have customization options just like the franchise, ideally.

Star Wars mostly (fable too)... what is it?"all that cgi"....?
Perhaps I am being unfair.. lots of gameplay on the medicore ( or things I have no interest in)... having starfield direct was a good call, it looks great.

Very nice... Definitely the best of the ones we have... Entertaining watch.
Could be great if we got more gameplay and dates.
HellBlade and Avowed which are the closest games had the most dissapointing showings, so that's unfortunate.
Flight Sim actually rocks... Wish we could have some super-game combining these systems with racing systems from racing games, storytelling, etc...
Fable which I'm most interested in appears to be as far as it was at first showing. no date. Might as well not show anything. Would it kill them to at least talk about the game? This criticism goes pretty much to all showcases we had (Starfield deep dive aside).
Starfield was exciting enough. I am not that into space-sims, so some of its charms are lost on me, but still have high hopes. I can get over the "typical NPC"-npc faces. Some cool creatures, hope for interesting stories/quests and exploration. Even if I'll end up bored, I have no doubt it will be incredibly popular.
After following XBOX crowd for awhile, xboxers must be extremely pleased with showcase. Even "Belfrey" project was revealed.
Many other nice games, I loved monsters in Capcom game for example, I've been waiting for someone to go for this aesthetic. "...The Deep" was very atmospheric from good devs. Clockwork might actually have interesting mechanics with time shenanigans?...
