And another E3 has gone

Even though I wasn't expecting much, I came away bored. Thoughts?

Surpisingly good. I wasn't expecting as many games as there were. Halo 4, Forza Horizon, Gears of War Judgement, Tomb Raider, those 3 world premiere exclusives, South Park, Black Ops 2, and Dance Central 3.

Forza Horizon is my highlight of the show.

Way too much Kinect. Xbox SmartGlass sounds like something I would personally never use, I don't want to get interrupted and have to read something if I'm watching a movie on my Xbox (which would probably never happen in the first place). However, Tomb Raider looked great and easily took the show.

New intuitive ways to utilize your console should have been saved for a different presentation.

Once again at a Microsoft E3 press conference, the only games that interested me are multiplat games. Tomb Raider and Resi 6 to be exact.

The services were ok.

Kinect stuff is...well, Kinect stuff.

Beyond the usual Halo, Gears, Forza and Fable sequels, exclusives (as in new exclusive IP's) were pretty much non-existent once again.

All in all, another year, another multi-plat heavy MS E3 presser to me. I love 3rd party games, but I tune in to see the exclusives that will carry the system. As usual, MS had little to show of its own (as in new, exclusive IP's).

I might be more disappointed if I actually had any expectations but, sadly, MS has given me little reason to have any. Their E3 '12 event didn't change that feeling for me.

That was just an ok to bad presser. Splinter cell looked good, halo 4 felt like metroid, tomb raider looked good, and COD is COD. Everything else was not to my liking (expect usher, I like usher). I hope other pressers are better.

Also where the hell is Rare? I thought they would be mentioned or show something. I am very sad about that.

My xbox 360 has been broken for 6 months. It won't read disks. After watching the show I was only impressed with two games. These two games are Tomb Raider (omg amazing) and Resident Evil 6. Come on Microsoft make some good exclusives. I will just continue playing my PS3 not trolling I own both just don't see the reason replacing my broken Xbox since no good exclusives. Halo 4 didn't interest me. The new enemys look dumb. They look like robots. Then Fable the Journey looks dumb. I don't have kinect. Then Forza game is dumb. I don't like realistic driving games. Give me a burnout game for crying out loud. Lastly the castle game looks like angry birds lol. I would rather play angry birds then pay for kinect lol. Very Very Very disappointed in microsoft. I was looking to get a new xbox and place some nice exclusives. smh.

Meanwhile at Nintendo Reggie watches the conference....

In all seriousness I was expecting something new, something different. Something nobody expected, Conker Bad Fur Day 2, Banjo Threeie some new IP... something completelly different. I got nothing.:x

My thoughts are that MS owns Rare and for the life of me I dont understand why they wont make a really hardcore BATTLETOADS GAME!!!! I'm sorry but I am so tired of shootin crap in every damn game, with just a different paint job. I feel like this industry needs more innovation with gameplay and less on frikkin apps and crap, or we are destined to see another 1984 meltdown of the industry.

It was the worst one I can think of. Honestly at the end of the day there's still enough coming out that i'll enjoy my 360 without question, that said they really don't know what people want to see at E3 in my opinion. Yeah smart glass "may" become something useful but well... so what. There's just no way they should center their E3 around it... anyway, I love my 360's to bad MS can't excite me more about it though. I've giving this years conferance I solid 4 out of 10. oh well...

That was the worst Microsoft E3 press conference that I've seen in quite some time.

Love your avatar.

While I think it's good that MS is actually trying to make Live worth the cost, there were a lot of times I forgot I was watching a game conference. If they're actually able to make all that work well, I might subscribe again.

The only game i'm interested in that they showed is Tomb Raider.

I enjoyed the conference, thought it was MUCH better than last year.

Also, to the guy who said "way too much kinect stuff", dude, there were like, what? 3 kinect games? What would be a good amount to show? Some of us enjoy seeing what Kinect has coming down the pipe. There was far less time spent on Kinect than last E3.

South Park and Tomb Raider are the one's I'm interested in. I wanna see more of the new Gears though, that series is the only reason I own a 360.spike6958

South Park was the higlight of the conference. Everything else was boring. Halo and Gears didn't impress me.
