Didn't stay up for Bethesda's but yeah, I knew it was going to be bad, so I'll give it an F.
Ubisoft's was surprisingly good, Mario looked good, Beyond Good and Evil 2 was unfortunate, they basically monkey paw'd the hell out of us. Can't remember much else. I'd give it a D.
Sony's was a massive disappointment. It was all shit we knew beforehand plus an uncharted spinoff. What a waste of time. I'd give them a D mostly because the game weren't in anyway bad, they were just stuff we knew about.
By the way this is shaping up, Microsoft might actually win E3 for once.

I wouldn't agree with that, but maybe I'm not as critical as you? I don't know. Sony's previous shows were better, but as shows go for this year, they were the best.

I, I just wish Nintendo could have saved E3, but I'm largely not pleased. Seeing some new gameplay from Super Mario Odyssey, hearing that Metroid Prime 4 is being worked on, and hearing that a "Core" Pokemon RPG title is being worked on for the Switch, that's all great, but for the rest of it, it was really only okay. Seeing some gameplay for Xenoblade Chronicles 2 was nice, but at the same time, it doesn't seem to be any different than previous titles which was kind of expected, so that was okay but not great. Also, there was way too many shots of the female character look as sexy as possible without doing anything sexy, as if that might be a focus over other, more important aspects of the game and I never actually managed to catch her name, so that wasn't handled well. The new Yoshi game looks alright, but it's still just a Yoshi Platformer so okay. They also showed off a story trailer for Fire Emblem Warriors, but there's nothing about it that seems original in any way, which is a problem and it should have something. The also talked about some DLC for Zelda and some new Amiibo for it, and that was cool, but not outstanding.
What bothers me the most is that there was nothing about the 3DS. They took the time to remind people what they were doing at E3 instead of showing off games, and then less than an hour later, a new Metroid game for the 3DS popped up at Nintendo Treehouse Live, why wasn't that at the Spotlight. Everything else that was left was ports like Rocket League, which isn't even coming out until the Holidays. It would have been better served to have that at launch, or you know, not when the game is getting closer to being three years old. Nintendo dropped the ball, and I really think that Treehouse Live is where we'll see most of the interesting things Nintendo has to offer, or at least I hope so. Nintendo gets a 6.5/10, tying them with EA, and making them the worst of the big three. Ubisoft and Sony win E3.

I gotta say that demo-wise, Nintendo is killing it. After playing the demo's for both Miitopia and Ever Oasis, I am super sold on both of them. The MvCI demo was cool, but finding out the your reservations on two titles you've seen can be put to rest and you can just enjoy a game, it's a nice feeling.
