Phil said a while back “we can’t beat Sony or Nintendo simply with just having good games” or something to that accord.

This showcase was jammed with nothing but bangers full stop. A few “ok” titles.

Sony shit the bed. The other game showcases shit the bed. Nintendo didn’t even show up.

Guess what Phil? If you have good games people want the box and the game pass.

I’ll be looking for a series x digital this holiday season for myself. You SOLD me a Xbox with this showcase Phil. It’s that damn simple.

You've actually played them already? How were they?

 

[LectureMaster]

Well, a little too soon to open champagne?

 

[skyfinch]

I'm sold! Series S 1tb edition gonna have me eating good in 2025.

 

[Hudo]

Doom and Age of Mythology for me.

 

[The Lunch Legend]

For sure..

 

[Shifty1897]

Nintendo didn’t even show up.

Hang on now, the Direct is coming...
But yeah, they delayed switch 2 and said it won't be mentioned in the Direct so I wouldn't expect too much out of them. Microsoft won E3 this year, and it wasn't even close.

Shows like this can sell people on wanting the machine.

Even if all the games ended up being trash, the issue is they weren’t moving consoles. This show gave dozens of reasons for me to want one.

I love reactionary gaf threads after both good and bad events.

You can't recognize game's quality from a professionally edited cinematic trailer?

More like Nintendo and PlayStation have stopped announcing games early.

Offtopic, but you have an interesting tag there, OP.

I am definitely excited about the games, but for folks like me that already have a PC, there is absolutely zero interest to purchase the console.

Incredible.

What is this argument? People can’t get hyped from gameplay trailers anymore? Every other event that’s the barometer for hype.

We saw a lot of in game footage of games and actual gameplay. Of which looked damn fine.

Not sure why I can’t deem it a “banger” from what’s shown so far. Could it be a turd on release? Sure just like any game.

Take a chill pill Jill.

Don’t buy a SS please. For a little more you have so much a better machine.

 

[StueyDuck]

you need to calm to a panic, this was definitely what people have wanted from MS for a while now, a decent lineup of games.

But having said that, we still mostly got cinematics and "in-engine" footage, the games coming sooner were noticeably absent and finally it's hard to call any game a banger when we have very little gameplay to go on.

usually at an E3 we would get impressions and a blowouts on all the games to help provide bangerage. So for now it's more up to MS to Show/Tell more before we lul ourselves into a false sense of security.

A lot of what was shown at Xbox is due in the next 6 months aka 2024. So uh… what?

Phil knew it was always about games, but he didn't want to be honest with his fanbase.

Sadly, it's far too late this gen to turn things around.
