Sega back in a big big way, maybe get a Persona. I like the double fine purchase also if it means I get those PS4 remasters of Grim Fandango, Day of the Tentacle.

Yeah it’s not for me cause I think they come weak with these conferences, judging from the other forums I’m on a lot of people think this conference was weak not just me.
Not trying to be insulting, but most of the people that I have seen calling this conference weak are the type that just buy Call of Duty and Madden year after year and call themselves hardcore gamers. From a services standpoint, they knocked it out of the park. From a games standpoint, they had trailers for just about every type of gamer from shooters to MMOs to racing to action to whatever you want. Even if Double Fine is not your personal cup of tea, that shows a commitment to continuing purchasing game studios that make great games and that is only going to continue. The only thing that could have made this show better is if Nintendo had made a surprise appearance and announced their entire back catalog was coming to GamePass.
 
I mean I am trying to understand you but this is an awfully aggressive stance towards Microsoft. I mean if my hobby caused me this much angst I would rethink my free time.
Some people just can't stop getting the hate going. I've been disappointed in MS but this was a solid performance. Even my Sony lifer wants to buy in, even if it's a X1S to play some stuff. Based on this. Says something to me

Killed his cat probably. I really don't get people like this. It's a gaming system for games. Why take all this stuff so seriously?
 
Re: Xbox E3 show

The thing to keep in mind is that this isn't supposed to be a super amazing show.  They're probably preparing all their ammo for E3 2020 because their new console launches that fall.  Next year is when they want to blow our socks off so we'll spend the money on their new console.

The show was decent.  Highlight was the Keanu Reeves reveal, imo.

 
Still, Phantasy Star Online 2 is a big get. Those fans have been desperate for a western release for so long that I think they completely gave up hope. I've heard its good. I'll probably give it a shot, way more interesting than Crossfire at least.

Haven’t bought a COD or madden in 4 years, nice try though.

Internal battery?! That's a hard pass. That worries me for the future of Microsoft's controllers. I HATE internal batteries. I want the ability to swap dead batteries out, not be stuck using a cord when my gaming session has drained my batteries. I'm honestly never buying a PS4 because of that crap.
Then buy a longer cord. I'm rocking 10 foot cords for PS3 and PS4 thanks to Monoprice. Only a few dollars each with free shipping.

 
And can we mention about xCLoud and how you can use your own system as a personal server instead of having to always rely on one of MS' cloud servers? To me that is huge and puts it on a whole different level than something like Stadia.
They were saying all that and I was nodding my head, but in reality I have no idea what the fuck any of that means.

 
I think there was a good half hour to twenty minutes cut off for Project X cloud after the Google/Stadia brief on Thursday, didn't have to show their hand too much after that. Searching for the Borderlands 2 DLC at the moment, gimme gimme

Notice the qualifier "most" in that statement. I wasn't speaking directly about you since I have no way of knowing your personal likes and interests but more to the "other people" on "other forums" that you spoke of and the people of that ilk that I have personally seen complaining. I have no personal beef with you and was just fleshing out my opinion. Meant no disrespect.
 
Did anyone end up with some new games in their ready to install list?

I have 

Astroneer

Guacamelee 2

Everspace

Lichtspeer

Moonlighter

Old Man's Journey

Riptide GP Renegade

Riverbond

Shadow Tactics

Silence

SteamWorld Dig 2

Thinbleweed Park

and more? WTF They are not under my GamePass tab. Only my Games tab.

 
They were saying all that and I was nodding my head, but in reality I have no idea what the fuck any of that means.
BTW you could do what they said already, although quite badly depending on internets just using some tools in Win 10 to open up your Xbox IP address, so your console being it's own server to you is nothing that mind blowing. I really honestly think the whole "Project Xcloud" thing got majorly slashed after the Google thing on Thursday and they saw there was no need to rush out with any big info after the way luke warm response. Probably made up the diff between the 2 hour show they said and the 1 hour and 30 show they did.

 
One thought I have now that is done is that I don't think we go all that many refugees from Sony's lack of a conference. Maybe Elden Ring, but I feel like the rest of the Bamco stuff is part of their Japanese initiative. 

I would have liked a confirmation that Halo is still coming to One. It was locked in before but they made no mention of it today.

and more? WTF They are not under my GamePass tab. Only my Games tab.

Can confirm
 
Pretty good E3 for Microsoft, I only wish they would have announced a new slate of OG XBox games for BC. Project XCloud sounds awesome, and may finally give Microsoft a presence in the portable front.

One thought I have now that is done is that I don't think we go all that many refugees from Sony's lack of a conference. Maybe Elden Ring, but I feel like the rest of the Bamco stuff is part of their Japanese initiative.

I would have liked a confirmation that Halo is still coming to One. It was locked in before but they made no mention of it today.
I imagine it will still come to the One, but I'm not surprised they want to downplay it. It is a bigger impact if you say it is a Scarlett launch title.
 
Releasing one tidbit of information each post and acting hurt or insulted isnt helping. Ok you got 4 X1s, you are a hardcore MS fan, never bought a CoD or madden in recent years and you thought MS sucked. So much that Sony won the game they didnt even play. And MS would've sucked harder had Sony played. Right?


Got it and I am with you. MS sucked. I dont even play CoD or Madden but only have one XB1, hope that's fine.

Let others have their fun, just because you and I didnt like it doesn't mean we have to poop on their fun.
 
BTW you could do what they said already, although quite badly depending on internets just using some tools in Win 10 to open up your Xbox IP address, so your console being it's own server to you is nothing that mind blowing. I really honestly think the whole "Project Xcloud" thing got majorly slashed after the Google thing on Thursday and they saw there was no need to rush out with any big info after the way luke warm response. Probably made up the diff between the 2 hour show they said and the 1 hour and 30 show they did.
I Only know I can play XBox in same house long as on same server, but the way they phrased it...well, it doesn't fucking matter. I Think this is one of those things where once it's out and can try it can figure it out then, but for now it's whatever. I'm going to continue being confused! Like a gaht dayum American!

 
I watched the majority of the conference. Was there any bc news? Figured since we haven't seen anything the last few weeks the may have announced some new OG and 360 titles.

 
So the messaging from both Sony and Microsoft about the PS5 and Scarlett suggests both will have custom SSDs as their HDs. Given the cost (and size) of decent non-specialized SSDs for laptops, it feels to me like it's gonna be a feat to have a console with all the bells and whistles these will have and a 1 TB SSD (and, like, would you buy a console with less than 1 TB of on-board storage at this point?) and come in at or under $500 unless one company or the other wants to take a bath on the console for a while.

I also wonder how loud that might be, given that I'm typing on a laptop with an SSD that rarely stops whirring.

 
Game Pass has clearly caught on with third parties, MS must be doing something right.

Handsome Collection, Arkham Knight, Hollow Knight, and Metro Exodus. MCC will be on PC Game Pass.

So long as they maintain a market to buy games outright and it's not Stadia, I'm pretty excited about this.
Handsome Collection was a good blow to PS+ considering they're down to two games a month now.

I must say: GaaS (Games as a Service) is growing on me and Sony is in trouble once this takes off next gen. I'm fully on-board with the direction of being able to "Netflix my games" when they come out and have to pay nothing but the monthly sub. I'm still very against digital game sales, so this is a great compromise and I think physical releases are even starting to catch on to the idea of simply selling the CE as an add-on to make way for this. I support it and encourage this but the dilemma is it's not my console of choice, which is exactly where MS wants me.

Gotta say, they endured years of having nothing; they sat and waited for this moment and it paid off big. I was able to get in on the deal to upgrade my subs to Game Pass Ultimate so I'm good until the end of next year now. With so much dropping early next year for free on it, I'd be willing to bet my PS4 will be collecting dust. . .

Well-fucking-played Xbox.

Also whenever there's an anime game during the XBox E3 presser it always feels out of place. Like "What are you doing here, Goku?"

 
The thing nobody thinks about with Game Pass is DLC. DLC is almost never included with Game Pass so I worry that more content will shift to the DLC at extra cost.

 
I don't see myself upgrading to the new Elite. Unless you can use it on Scarlet it seems like a lot of money to burn for a controller that you might be done with in a year.

I'm really glad that Outer Worlds is on GamePass at launch. With that and Gears 5 those are two huge games I was going to play at launch I don't have to pay for now. A lot of stuff for next year though.

Agree. Saved me $120 bucks cause those are day one for me.
 
GamePass and now Ultimate completely blows away PS Now. Unless Sony does something more next gen to compete better with GP, the games as a service model could really tip the scales toward Microsoft more. All the MS studio exclusives day one is awesome and it’s only going to get better with all the studios they have now.

Plus PC games as well!

I'm old and this is the first E3 in a while where I was legit excited and then come here and there's one spoiled assed kid being negative cuz of whatever reason. "Sony won without going" or wtf ever. Like just let people be happy, go play with a doll of hair, cut eyes out of pictures, something. "Well I'm not alone in my misery, there's OTHERS" Good for you, now quit eating the sand in the box already
 
Ok I see now these are Game Pass games actually. Weird that it did not show up under the right spot. I do hope MS works out the partition out how you own stuff better in the future.

Possibly, but at least with the multiplayer first party stuff like Gears 4 and Halo 5 all the updates were free, though supported by lootboxes. Hard to say if this will stick around if the regulation stuff actually kicks in. Definitely felt on games with expansions like Forza. In theory, subscriptions are supposed to take the place of the base $60, though we probably won't know if this model is truly working for a while.
