Simple question: What games could Microsoft have shown to make it not a disappointment? No vague answers like "LOL THEY COULD'VE ANNOUNCED SOME GOOD GAMES". Please, specifics?

Only people disappointed are cows. MS's conference was amazing. I mean what did we get.

Great list of exclusives

Great new XBL features

Really awesome looking motion controls with impressive tech demos.

And the 360 is now a better media box than the PS3 with 1080p streaming, instant music playing, and everything else.

I was expecting more games that I'd never heard of before. They showed some awesome stuff, don't get me wrong, but hey Bungie making a new Halo, whodathunk... Still a pretty good conference though, and that Natal stuff is at least intriguing.

I was just hoping for some games that aren't so repetetive, but the natal is good enough now, i'll probably start playing my 360 again.

I knew ODST was coming out. Reach though.....I think I heard of that at some point in my life, but when they showed the demo I was like "Wow, now that Bungie isn't under MS they've got this brand new IP to show!!!!!!!!!!!". And then I heard Halo music :( I like Halo, but I was sooooo hoping for a brand new IP from one of the best dev teams out there.

I wasn't disappointed at all.

But I kind of wish some one from Rare was there to announce Killer Instinct 3 :P

Just haters and fanboys.... scared because they know that Sony and Ninty aren't gonna deliver the way MS just did...... anyone interested in tech should be wowed by the Natal Demo's that were shown. It was simply amazing!

I wasn't disappointed but I did expect new IP's. Crackdown 2 (a complete surprise) and Halo Reach are more than good enough though.

I can't name a game that doesn't exist. This thread makes no sense.

If they weren't trying to kill controllers I'd be more excited.

I was expecting new games being announced, not games we all knew were coming, L4D1 on xbox is a disapointment and 2 will be even worse. PC is only way to go with that.

Gah, even during E3 you guys pretend like we sheep don't exist. I'm just chuckling to myself that Microsoft is now the king of the casuals. However, I do admit they announced some sick games, and Xbox is looking so much better that PS3 right now. I'll stick with my Wii though.

They could have shown more games...seems like they care more about the Live service features and trying to destroy Nintendo.

I mean, I'm not really a fanboy, but I don't have a 360, and I personally found the show to be amazing. Though, to be honest, Halo:ODST doesn't really look intrigueing at all, but hopefully Reach will be really good. Forza looked good too, I like how you can put whatever you want on your car. Milo of course was a wow moment, and MGSRising was shocking...can't really say surprising, it was inevitable. But yes, very well done; this coming from a mainly Sony guy. (Though I do have a gaming PC.)

They could have announced/shown more exclusive games, not just games that are multiplat and are on the PC.

I thought they'd announce a few more games. Like from Rare etc. But the footage of the games was excellent, Natal seemed amazing, and MGS is finally coming to the 360, so I'm pleased.

They could not of announced the gimmicky motion controls garbage, they couldn't of said it was cool to talk to a virtual 12 year old boy and they could've announced more than 3 exclusive games, all of which we saw coming.

Splinter Cell looks sick.

I missed the MGS but I saw most of the conference and I dont see how it could disappoint except for Natal.

They're working on three games, two of which they've no unveiled. I wouldn't expect the third one to be a halo game. :)

One can only hope. As long as the same time and dedication gets put into their future games then I expect more AAA games from Bungie.

I wasn't dissapointed, all in all, I think it was better than last E3 only they didn't have a megaton,only a miniton. But, I expected at least a new IP, seing rare new work, that Lionhead would be working on a new game not a WTF. Of the new games (not XBLA) announced only L4D2 was not already heavily rumoured/confirmed. Of some of the other only brief CG trailers where showned. All the talk abut XBL features and Eye Toy meets wii remotes doesn't interest me.

But in the end, where it matters, it was a good show. Because the games are what matters.

Overall, it was very good-we had some great game announcements that came out of thin air (I, for one, wasn't expecting Crackdown 2 or Halo: Reach and I thought SC:C had become vaporware), and we had something that could be called a "kiloton"-though not a "megaton", it was still a pretty damn big announcement.
