Looks downgradeable.
I assume that's pretty much the only reason people are rating it high, because it had the same CG trailers and underwhelming demos as the other presentations.Fallout 4
Ratings everywhere!
Bethesda 8.5,Nintendo World Championship - 9,
Microsoft 7.5,
EA 6,
Ubisoft 7.
Fun e3 so far. Ubisoft could've used a bit more variety in games and a singer that can actually sing live.

That's only really true for the Tom Clancy games. The new Rainbow Six in particular looked like "The Division: Mexico"
But the other reveals? One is a South Park title, there is a medieval melee focused online game and a racer about crazy tracks
People came for Doom and Fallout, and they spent a lot of time showing what those games are about. Regardless of what you think of those games (personally I think both looked great), Bethesda delivered on what you would have wanted from a Bethesda conference. A lot of showing with respect to those games, and not overdoing it on the talking side of things.People really rate Bethesda high, I assume it's solely on the strength of 2 or 3 games (Fallout, Dishonored (CG trailer), and maybe Doom, which looked more promising in multiplayer than single, although not terrible). The only other games, not counting remasters, were Elder Scrolls Online and the really bad looking Battlecry.

Seeing all the low scores for these conf., I wonder what will make a conf. A or even B+. Seriously I want to know what will make a conf A or A+? You guys expect too much.
My Grades:
Bethesda: A
Microsoft: B-
EA: C+
Ubisoft: C
I swore the last game would be BG&E 2 or POP, when I saw the table and guns, I said Far Cry 5. It kept going, thought it was a new IP, then they said Ghost Recon Wildlands. Forgot about that franchise entirely. I don't think it was a bad conference, Wildands looks good, on the flipside Siege is just not appealing to me at all, in any way..... and I was so hyped for it at reveal too.Bethesda: 5/10
Microsoft: 5/10
EA: 4/10
Ubisoft: 5/10
Meh to kinda fine conferences so far, no surprises, no new IPs, more games that look and play the same. Also no new UbiArt game, and BG&E2, where are you....
Ghost Recon Wildlands looks AWESOME!!!!! Easily the best thing I saw. And it totally cannibalized The Division. I just lost all interest in that game.
This e3 is proving to me more than ever that no one wants video games anymore. They want "Experiences".

Besides South Park, where the hell is the current gen version of AC Rogue?!
Dont worry, it wont be out until 2017 at the earliest. That was all pre-alpha footage.
Wildlands is the biggest surprise so far. Huge potential.
I think this is more what game makers like to say gamers want than what gamers actually want. I don't know anyone who cares about all this CG or cinematic gameplay, but clearly someone must, because they spend a lot of time and effort on it.

Well it's gonna be March before The Division. I'll prolly just hold out and wait for the cooler looking product.
Seriously, I feel that every single game, regardless of setting or genre, should have helicopters in it. Helicopters should drop you off and pick you up at the bookends of every single mission, and within those missions there should be opportunities to pilot, shoot from, and rappel out of helicopters.
I love it.
Damn, I came in late. Did Beyond Good & Evil 2 get dropped?

I thought Ghost Recon looked fantastic, really looking forward to that. On the other hand, I'm usually an AC defended but that was hugely underwhelming. I'm with Jeff from Giant Bomb in that I don't understand why they just completely botched the present day story. It feels like the series lacks any forward movement to me in part because of that.

Basically here's what I've learned so far.
- All third person shooter games are the same. Wildlands and The Division should just be 1 game.
- The Division already came out and was terrible don't bother.
- Aisha Tyler is great.
- Aisha Tyler sucks.
- Cute girl is better than Aisha Tyler and we are attracted to her she should host.
- For Honor doesn't really exist.
- No casual games allowed.
- Everything sucks

If Sony, Nintendo or Square-Enix were to have a better showing than Bethesda, I would find nothing preposterous about that. Their show was good. It would not take a herculean effort to be better, though.Seeing all the low scores for these conf., I wonder what will make a conf. A or even B+.

Almost half the games they showed were Tom Clancy games though. Guns are also getting more and more commonplace in the AC series. By 2020, I'm sure they'll just go "fuck it" and set a game in 1991 Persian Gulf or something.
