E3 2018

[RepentantSky]

Didn't care much for Smash but it looks nice. Going to get it since I need games for my Switch and it's a perfect one to get.

Overall, Microsoft probably won E3 for me. They showed a lot more things and were pretty hype throughout. Sony was a disappointment, it wasn't bad it was just stupid and shameful in a way. I wanted to see a lot more from them, and in the end they let me down. Nintendo is similar, they showed three games and expected us to be excited for them.

This E3 is better than last years I'd say, but I think since the Console gens are in such weird stagnant places no one really knows what to show and E3 sort of becomes about the games themselves instead of the interesting exclusive games (if you get what I mean?). Still, there was a lot of stuff shown and I'm happy for it. Next year will hopefully be better for Nintendo and Sony.

Overall, I think I'm actually going to give the win to Sony still. Xbox had some good games sure, but Kingdom Hearts III's Sony trailer was better, Xbox had a lot of slowdown moments to focus on games I didn't care about and pretty much skipped over nearly a dozen interesting looking Indie titles I would have liked to see more of, and I don't know. There were some good moments, but then there's Gears Pop, and no thank you, that's just a lazy looking mobile game. Nintendo also had the same problem, and didn't have anything for 3DS so bye-bye rumors for A Link to the Past Remake, and I guess who cares about Luigi's Mansion right? Sony had an issue with their stream on Twitch, but not on YouTube so while that sucked it was avoidable. The one thing that Sony did that no one else did though, was constantly have games that I want to play in their conference. No one else can say that for me. Also, and this isn't conference related but it's worth mention, Sony dropped tons of trailer for other games that I want to play on their channel and they are still dropping more. Hell even Greedfall got another trailer and I thought that was game more dead that Resident Evil 2 until Sony came in and said nope to that. Xbox I gave a 3.8/5 but Sony get's a 4/5. They win E3 for me, but by a small margin. Hopefully at Gamescom or Paris Games Week, which ever one they are going to, they will do even better.
