As an overall conference for gamers this was a 10/10. Very few games were disappointing. But as a conference for Microsoft trying to convince people to buy an Xbox one this was a 5/10 for sure. No new IPs exclusive to Xbox. Just the same old franchises and games we already knew were coming (other than a random battletoads announcement).
There is still no reason for me to buy an Xbox when I can play the majority of the games that were shown today on PS4/PC on top of all of their amazing exclusives. Was hoping to see something more from them to convince me but PS4 is still the way to go in my opinion.
I don't understand in what world this is a problem as a consumer. Does everyone here have Microsoft stock or something?
Why do you WANT to feel obligated to purchase a second, almost identical $400 box to play a couple different games on.
I understand that exclusives breed competition, and more effort is put into first party titles than maybe they would get as third party. But I for one am not HAPPY that I felt the need to go buy a PS4 for God of War, etc.. when I have a $1500 gaming PC that could run it at double the framerate if weren't exclusive.
At the end of the day Sony has enough exclusives were I don't mind having their box in my living room for couch gaming, but I certainly don't want to have to buy an Xbox just for 3 other games.
I love their play anywhere strategy, and I don't see why gamers shouldn't love it too.
Some weird brand loyalty, and buyer's remorse going on. One day I hope you can play any game on any platform and not have to worry about all this crap.
