I still don't think I need an Xbox and Ansem makes me kinda worried

 

[DeadlyVirus]

I'm really hoping that Bethesda has managed to keep an Elder Scrolls under wraps and is unveiling it today. It's been too long since Skyrim.

And say it's out this year.

One can dream...

$499 isn't competitive. $399 is competitive.

 

[Chumley]

I didn't think that was a great presentation. Sea of Thieves was the only real standout IMO, everything else looked real nice but just felt fucking stale. Assassin's Creed, more of the same. Anthem just looks like Destiny. Nothing got me excited besides Thieves.

And they didn't make a compelling case for $499. People will look at the Pro being at least $100 cheaper (might be $150 cheaper by the holidays) and go with that if they have 4k TV's.

 

[Ullus]

That was pretty nice, but then again I play 95% of all games on PC. : )

i.e $500 more towards the PC upgrade

 

[hitgirl]

As a PC player, with all the exclusives also on PC, did they convince you to get a X1X.

Nope. I'd maybe consider buying it for Player Unkown's. But for someone who doesn't want to build a PC or spend money for a PC, I'd suggest the Xbox X for sure.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

You are fucking high

shit, man, I wish

 

[The Technomancer]

Yes, this dumb shooter is just like Monster Hunter.

its not but it should be

 

[LurkerPrime]

Yo what the hell happened to Crackdown?

No "power of cloud," maybe? The didn't showcase destruction at all from what I saw.

 

[MetalGearZed]

now imagine if they hadn't forced that dumbass Kinect the first go around, making the original Xbox One 399$ at launch instead of $499

 

[Hjod]

Good showing by MS at least the games.

But did they give me a reason to buy a Xbox One X? No not really, and I was on the fence.

 

[Kaizer]

I feel like they didn't show off reasons to buy the new system that well at all, just the usual - "better graphics guys!"

 

[Death Metalist]

That was a pretty good conference minus the annoying shill screams and that sudden E-SPORTS CUT. Xbox backward compatibility blew me away, BREAKDOWN HERE I COME. Miss that game. However, I don't think they built a solid case for getting an Xbox One X, at all. Especially when I look at what we got on PS4 just for this year alone. I'll be getting an Xbox One X day 0 though but for the average consumer, I can see why they wouldn't get one. Also, disappointed they didn't show off Crackdown 3 in a big way it was kind of NOTHING.

Now to wait for the GB archive to watch with their commentary.

[Chumley]

I think that'll be next year. This year is probably their new IP thing.

 

[AuthenticM]

How long is the Bethesda conference?

 

[Fox318]

8/10 on showing good games

3/10 on selling Scorpio

spot on.

Its all about 4k.

 

[nubbe]

New Metro: Hell yes
AC Origins: Looks good, might be in
Ori: Not sure if I like the look of it but sure
Anthem: Maybe?

That's kinda it for me.

Edit:
Oh, The Last Night looks insane

fine games
but you can play them anywhere

 

[DeadlyVirus]

Nope. I'd maybe consider buying it for Player Unkown's. But for someone who doesn't want to build a PC or spend money for a PC, I'd suggest the Xbox X for sure.

So how is it a 10/10 conference if they didn't convince you.

Also playing PUB with a controller sounds like a nightmare...

 

[Ashby]

Vinny correcting Ben on DBZ

fake anime nerd ben

He called SSJ3 SSJ4 and he thought Teen Gohan was Trunks. Kid is a fraud.

 

[sirap]

No "power of cloud," maybe? The didn't showcase destruction at all from what I saw.

Its not just the lack of destruction. Art style, lighting and animations looked downgraded from the original pitch...

I'm so disappointed

 

[LurkerPrime]

Vinny correcting Ben on DBZ

fake anime nerd ben

Vinny's passion for DBZ is unmatched at Giant Bomb. But he hides it very well. (Aside from the Goku avatar on the site...)

 

[Jamie OD]

When people talk about jaded GB, show them Vinny and Ben reacting to Dragon Ball Fighters Z

And tell them to listen out for Jason shouting with joy.

 

[Twin Tails]

that was meh
ill keep playing everything on pc, and continue not using my xbox s (except for maybe pugb console)

 

[Infinite Justice]

Man Jeff sounds kinda bummed.

 

[Tranqueris]

I'm really hoping that Bethesda has managed to keep an Elder Scrolls under wraps and is unveiling it today. It's been too long since Skyrim.

I feel like at this point I could sit through a 2 hour presentation with them just saying, we got a new engine, here's how this looked or animated in the old engine, here's how it works in the new engine, it's a 100 times better.

I think that would leave me extremely satisfied.

 

[repeater]

I found that conference quite underwhelming for a new hardware reveal and given the dire situation Microsoft find themselves in currently.

 

[Tagyhag]

legit surprised they just showed off a new console but not a single new Xbox exclusive. Their studio situation is fucking dire

What? If you're talking about games that are also coming to PC they have clearly said that all their games will also be developed for PC.

That was like 2 E3's ago.

 

[Puck Beaverton]

Man Jeff sounds kinda bummed.

he was most interested in the One X.

 

[hitgirl]

So how is it a 10/10 conference if they didn't convince you.

Also playing PUB with a controller sounds like a nightmare...

Things don't have to be tailored exactly for me to like it. I'm not a twelve year old.

 

[MetalGearZed]

All Sony gotta do tomorrow is show TLOU2 and the new FromSoftware game and they'll once again claim best show of E3

also i wanna see some of the Dragon's Dogma remastered

 

[ForsakenLotus]

Without the context of the conference being for a first party studio, I would probably give it a 7/10. Maybe 8 if I discounted the fact that several of the high profile games just don't interest me personally but others are interested.

But for Microsoft, I just don't think they really sold the Xbox One X outside of saying it was powerful. They didn't announce a single major first party exclusive during the whole conference, unless you count Forza which I don't because it's essentially a sports game.

Plus once again I don't know what's exclusive and what kind of exclusive it is and that's super frustrating.

So mediocre conference for a first party.

 

[oti]

I hope they'll bundle AC codes again with Xbox consoles. That's why AC Unity codes are like 1€ nowadays.

 

[PandaShake]

Just realized next conference is late night. Looking forward to late night bombers.

 

[BTA]

The whole suit looks kind of dumb. 'Demo' felt a little too phony to believe. Gave me the same feeling as the initial demo of The Division.

I want the suit to look more dumb. Gimme brighter tokusatsu-ish power armor and such instead of the dark jungle.

 

[DeadlyVirus]

Man Jeff sounds kinda bummed.

Jeff holds the 360 very close to his heart, as it's part on the making of GiantBomb.
Seeing Microsoft not go all in like they did with the 360 and constantly misfiring does bum him out

 

[kaskade]

If Sony brings it I'm probably getting a PS4 pro at this point. They don't really have to do anything too crazy either. Show some more God of war, Spider-Man and a few new games and I'm sold. Especially since I can go buy one whenever I want.

 

[Kimaka]

Went from highly unlikely on getting an Xbox One to maybe if the backwards compatibility works well for the Xbox games I have.

Also, I'm disappointed with the trajectory of the Fable series. Sad to see that its a card game now.

 

[Eternia]

First party content is even slimmer than expected. It really shows how far they scaled back their investments.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

Yes, this dumb shooter is just like Monster Hunter.

Man, I was actually pretty excited for Anthem, but now I just want a Lost Planet 2 sequel.

 

[Maiorum]

Every single game they showed here is coming to the PC, and as someone who has shifted to playing primarily on PC, that makes me quite happy. Honestly, for me, the backward compatible stuff is the biggest selling point for an Xbox.

 

[Chumley]

All Sony gotta do tomorrow is show TLOU2 and the new FromSoftware game and they'll once again claim best show of E3

also i wanna see some of the Dragon's Dogma remastered

Yeah unless Nintendo has like a hidden F-Zero and Metroid reveal or something, Sony is easily taking it again.

Beth could be pretty awesome too.

 

[PandaShake]

Amazing idea for new console by Vinco LOL

 

[LurkerPrime]

My biggest takeaway from MS's conference is a strong desire to replay State of Decay and Life is Strange.

 

[Seventy70]

I'm not excited for Anthem at all. We've seen this song and dance for the last couple of years. It's always a disappointment.

 

[DeadlyVirus]

Things don't have to be tailored exactly for me to like it. I'm not a twelve year old.

But you're admitting you didn't like everything and you give it 10/10.
It's ok to be critical

 

[MetalGearZed]

If Sony brings it I'm probably getting a PS4 pro at this point. They don't really have to do anything too crazy either. Show some more God of war, Spider-Man and a few new games and I'm sold. Especially since I can go buy one whenever I want.

The new Sucker Punch game is likely gonna look dope. Infamous Second Son still looks stunning.

 

[Karspankey]

Man, what a good conference. Forza 7 looked somehow better than I expected, Ass Creed was really great, Metro is nice, etc etc, I liked everything they showed off. $499 was the obvious price since DF's coverage, so no shocker there. I can't wait for Nov 7

 

[Robaperas]

So how is it a 10/10 conference if they didn't convince you.

Also playing PUB with a controller sounds like a nightmare...

Yup.


I think it was a decent conference, some demos were too long, and it really didn't sold me on an XOX or XB1X.

 

[kiguel182]

I hope Sony has some good indie titles. id@Xbox has been doing great.

Especially after their rocky start.
