I like Microsoft right now.

I don't expect much but they at least do stuff.

Already flight simulator? They been showing this for years. And its out.

Wtf is going on. This is barely worth a dev diary or weekly update video. Not a Gamescom level of show.

Ms somehow always falters and under dilivers.

Was announced in 2019, not a crazy stretch.

Plus it's a big showcase for them. Few games come close to those graphics.

With that said, considering this is supposed to be a 90 minute showcase, and 15 minutes in, we have only seen two games.  

That would more normal like 6 years ago, but pacing expectations has changed a lot.

And just like that piles of indie games to be pretend announcements.

Age of Empires....  Please excuse me.

None of those games were really interesting as far as announcements go...

This is a weird stream.

What they don't tell you is they didn't implement any special physics for the game trebuchet. they just wanted to break things.

And once again, I am not feeling so bad about Sony not trying to match this.

They are hyping forza as the big reveal. Yeah im not bothering with  this show anymore. Its clearly a waste of time and a bunch of nothing. Its literally just people talking now and a trailer for dying light 2

Surely you mean coming to Gamepass, that's what we are trying so hard to sell to you.

Well that wasn't good.

I didn't expect this show to be that bad. Could have included more gameplay of upcoming games at least.

Was super weird.  

Age of Empires 4 is coming out in 2 months, and yet their big showing for it was a trebuchet.

so i didn't miss anything?

i read this article:
https://www.theverge.com/2021/8/24/22638193/xbox-gamescom-2021-news-trailers-flight-sim-forza

didn't see anything much.  i was almost excited for a second about stray blade based on the description it seemed like something i'd be in to.  then i watch the trailer and it is clearly a low budget effort.  maybe it ends up okay but doesn't seem like something to be truly hyped out.

as I read around the internet,.. it would be really easy to not even know Ms had a show yesterday.   there is like zero press and not even much for threads on gaming sites. 

wow.

It was easily the worst show I ever seen. Easily.

Honestly I could never imagine a show being this bad.

lol.

I can't imagine why.  I only read that summary article but it seemed like a standard gamescom conference.  

a few smaller announcements.  depth on some recent announcements.  a montage.  

on paper it look fine.  ..but I'll take your word for it.  I have no need to watch a bad show.

I wish it showed depth.

The age of empires segment (coming out in two months) was a history channel style segment about trebuchet.

Well I stopped in the middle because it was so bad.

Flight simulator... it was interview with a dev that talked about regular updates, he even mentioned they been doing them every month. And then said there is a top gun dlc, but they can't show or talk about it because the movie is still under wraps. So basically it was all nothing.

Then age of empires. They didn't show the game. They literally showed a video explaining how a trebuchet works. It was literally like a section from the history channel.

Dying light 2 trailer. Okay this was alright. Its seems like a good game, one im excited for. But then also they were talking way too much


Indie montage of games you'll never even remember.

And then they started talking about xcloud and I was like im done with this shame.

So about halfway through the show it was literally nothing new, it was all stuff we seen before. And like 60 or 70 percent of the show was people talking their awkward scripted dialogue.

It was a trash show.
