I understand why they scheduled the showcase for June now.
This shit it totally gay.
I have to be honest, I've hated everything that was shown other than Forza Motorsport and Horizon 5's expansion.
Super gay.
I haven't seen any gay characters yet, actually.
Allow me to choose another word than gay then.
Soy filled gaming substitute.
Redfall.
Kek.
That game looked like it will suck. Not as bad as whatever the fuck this "emotional experience" is that they're showing now.
And Telltale games were already pretty shit.
Current mood: Meh
During showcase: Meh
After showcase: ... [inhales] UBER-MEH!
<current year> has killed my enthusiasm for any media. At best, I'll wait until something is released, customer reviews are in, several months have passed and it's on sale at least 66+%. I've been disappointed far too many times to care: marketing switcharoos, microtransactions, cut content resold as DLC, insulting players, etc etc. I don't even keep up with what's being released any more and I can't remember the last time I purchased a game for myself.
Pre-show comments:
Infinity killed what of my love of Halo that survived Spartan Ops and Halo 5. Hard to imagine what they can show that I'll like. Maybe, since SF6 is on Xbox finally, we'll get a second character reveal after Guile? Probably too early to announce any ActiBliz IPs since that acquisition is still in the early stages. Some Japanese games?
Expecting lots of woke pander-y shit. I wonder how many chair-spins / volume mutes I'll have to get through it, or if I'll abandon it before the end. Your move, MS.
Post-show:
No Halo, I'm shocked.
Riot collaboration, all characters unlocked in League, Valorant, lots of cards in Runeterra. Fun stuff.
New Forza looks excellent, Flight Sim gets helicopters and the Halo Pelican (brilliant). Hotwheels collab in Horizon, seems fitting but seems like we already did this once. Forza is a definite for me, the rest just looks decent.
Scorn is a creepy, Giger-style, shooter(?), with a bangin doom-style soundtrack. I like it muchly. Cocoon is a minimalist puzzle platformer that looks fun.
Finally a new Team Ninja game on Xbox: Wu Long. Looks good, but no gameplay yet. Atlus is porting Persona 3, 4, and 5. Very happy about this. Kojima pre-announces an Xbox collaboration on a brand new game. All in all, good news on the Japanese front.
Big Diablo 4 presentation. Until MS makes a show of going through Acti-Bliz's headquarters with a flamethrower, this is tainted goods. No thanks.
Tons of time reserved for Todd Howard to fellate himself on-screen. Starfield looks... sharp but dated. Bullets have no impact... whole game looks like same old Bethesda but now with super-sampling. Flight mechanics shown, and they're arcade rather than space sim. In a word, "ok, sure."
amusing, considering the long awaited starfield footage looks like fucking death stranding. With a terrible frame rate and bad enemy a.i.
Skimmed through it. I guess I might play that Wo Long game, at least it didn't make me not want to. Persona escaping from Sony platforms may end up being a blow to them, particular if it's popular enough for whatever sequel to come to Xbox. I also hate pretty much all Western character design now. I've actually enjoyed FH5 way more than I expected, but that's mainly from not playing alone. It's way more hang out and chill time than serious racing for me. Hot Wheels expansion doesn't really interest me but I'll get it if friends do. So hell, more than I was expecting but that's a result of setting the bar so low.
Are you ahead of me or did I miss something while refreshing the store to try and pre-order Forza Motorsport?
God of War ripoff with the strong dyke JoggerWhamen.
Loved the silksong announcement even though was already spoiled. Persona 5 coming to xbox is also cool. Little surprised no street fighter or cuphead action. Some stuff I really liked, some meh. Starfield looks boring. That Kojima guy doesn't do it for me either
Did they show Elder Scrolls 6?
No. F76 + ESO only, then it cut to Forza Horizon 5.
Good grief! I'll be retired by the time Elder Scrolls 6 comes out
meh I'm playing fallout new vegas
Here. We. Go.
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't slightly excited.
FH5 is due an expansion, Forza Motorsport 2022 might finally get a release date.
I wonder how much time will be wasted on female protagonist garbage.
Literally the first fucking one. This looks like absolute shit and the girl talks far too much in game for anyone to want it. Fucking hell, how long does this go on for? Vampires...why? Who watched Twilight at MS?
Hollow Knight again. Never played the first one.
What the fuck is this? Looks like it came from an acid trip. High on Life...someone was high on something when they came up with this shit.
Diversity hire mentions "industry defining racing experiences" - Forza Motorsport 2022 confirmed?
Riot are here...now on Game Pass...I thought it was all free anyway?
Forza Motorsport - Spring 2023 - Well, I'm both happy and sad. Spring 2023 is a long way away.
Flight Simulator...does anyone still care?
Overwatch 2 - F2P, October. New hero looks very lesbian.
Elder Scrolls Online is still a thing? So is Fallout 76?
FH5 x Hot Wheels - I never bought this expansion in FH3, but I think I will this time, just because there's nothing else to get excited about.
Women are so strong, they can kill gods. This game is very 2022. Flintlock : The Siege of Dawn. A nice long name for the boycott list.
Another Minecraft game. How are people not tired of them.
"Emotional experience" = Woke, unplayable dog shit glorified movie.
Grounded got a full release - September 2022. I really never cared for it.
Another female protagonist. I wish I kept a counter.
Diablo 4. Does it include $50,000 microtransactions? 2023, if anyone cares. I don't.
Sea of Thieves is getting a large update of personalization things. Not sure why it deserved a trailer.
Does anyone (apart from journalists and Disney execs) want to play a game as a little girl? Come on Microsoft...
Did Fortnite cause every company to make cartoonish garbage to try and emulate their wealth?
Wow, a male protagonist. Wo Long : Fallen Dynasty.
Persona 3P, 4 Golden, 5 Royal coming to Xbox Game Pass.
Kojima Productions is now part of Xbox Game Studios.
Starfield got gameplay shown. I'm surprised it's still in existence.
Show over, I really wasted my life. Could have left after FH5.
I'm sorry, comrade, but depicting a philanthropic pharmaceutical company as the bad guys is highly problematic in our current climate. The Ministry of Disinformation really can't endorse messaging which could add fuel to the fire for antivaxx extremists. I'm sure you didn't mean anything by this, but let's try to be better.
Perhaps the antagonists could be a tribe of bald pygmies who fanatically believe in alternative treatments and hate modern science? The game could start with them crashing Larry Croft's Drag Queen Equestrianism Show (hosted at a nursery) and stealing all the horse medicine.
A tranny still sounds less awful than having a woman.
At least you don't get their high-pitched whiny bleeder voices.
Pentiment game from obsidian looks surprisingly interesting. I have some hopes for it despite losing my faith in obsidian.
Starfield may be good but it may end up being shit, the story buildup in the trailer was kind of unmotivating so I have little hope for the story but the rest seemed kind of cool. If the story ends up forgettable and non-woke and the gameplay and discovery elements end up being good then it will exceed my expectations.
Nothing else seemed even remotely interesting. Diablo 4 looks outdated as fuck and their best feature is character customization.
Why do you care about this gay shit, imp?

Yeah, that's pretty much the only reason to watch all of the rest.
