How Would You Rate the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase 2022?

[digitalrelic]

Solid "A" from me. Covered such a ridiculously wide swath of genres, all game play footage, all out within the next year, all day one Game Pass. Starfield looks incredible but it's clear why they needed to delay it judging by some of those frame drops.

Redfall, Scorn, A Plague Tale II, Diablo IV, Persona(!!!), Minecraft Legends, Pentiment, Starfield, Cocoon, Team Ninja's new game Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, Forza Motorsport, Hideo Kojima's title... So many games I can't wait to play.

[SplitYourInfinities]

Weak. Starfield looks good tho.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

1000 planets/10

 

[demi]

G for no Goldeneye

 

[M. Wallace]

No D- so F.

 

[Dale Copper]

I say a C to C-

That whole indie bit was boring as shit

 

[elenarie]

Loved everything. Best show in a long time. That they focus only on the next 12 months is perfect.

 

[defaltoption]

Solid B, looking forward to nearly everythng they showed and glad we got lots of game play.

 

[Fart Master]

It's alright but then Starfield showed up and honestly that made up for it.

 

[The Last One]

Too long and most of things didn't appeal for me.

C

 

[s y]

C. Long state of play tier.

 

[VinFTW]

C+

 

[Bear]

Probably a B, Diablo and Starfield were the standouts for me.

 

[V3N1X]

Definitely an "A" for me... got a little slow in the middle but absolutely phenomenal collection of games, all gameplay, aces show.

 

[smart patrol]

F

 

[BrickArts295]

12 months limit kinda hurt it. No Hellblade 2 or Perfect Dark 😑
Solid B-

 

[Ferrs]

B. It wasn't the best shit but still the best of the SGF so far.

 

[Fiery Phoenix]

Solid B. Really appreciate the focus on gameplay.

 

[ciddative]

BRB reaction thread time

 

[equinox787]

starfield/10

 

[It’s Time To Go]

C at best.

 

[CanUKlehead]

About what I expected. Enjoyed it most of the recent shows the last few weeks.

 

[Xeonidus]

B for me. Some goof stuff but nothing that screams must play to me.

 

[Patitoloco]

C maybe. Way too long and bloated, not many interesting games IMO. The indies this time around felt quite generic.

I really like Xbox shows, but this has been one of the worst in the Phil era.

 

[Raide]

Huge variety that covers all based, amazing showing for Game Pass owners. EAsily B-.

For people expecting AAA angry dad simulators etc, it will be a D-

 

[bob100]

Forza is the only thing that got me interested

Starfield gameplay was super choppy and just seems like it is No Man's Sky 2

 

[Deleted member 437]

Pretty weak.

I gave it a C- before Starfield.

And then Starfield showed up and didn't look super great in the first half. Looked much better on the second half.

Having said all that, C+

 

[RR30]

Solid B. Wish we got to see more of Pentiment. LOVED the Starfield ending. Lot of stuff I wasn't interested in, but oh well.

 

[falcondoc]

D

 

[Chasing]

Spoiler/10 show.

 

[Smooth Criminal]

Starfield was a showstopper, they were right to keep it until the end.

 

[dmr87]

I can stretch it to a C.

 

[Ryuelli]

Diablo IV, Pentiment, Minecraft Legends, Persona, and the Forza 5 Hotwheels expansion are all things I want to play and check out and realistically won't have enough time to (DIV and the rest of Blizzard's lineup over the next year are going to steal all my free time), that's more than enough for me to be happy with what I saw.

I'm rating it a B, only because I would have liked to see megaton for something that wasn't already announced.

 

[Morten88]

Probably B+
This was one of the best shows in a very long time! So many fucking games to look forward to.

 

[Reckheim]

C, pretty average

 

[sazz]

Meh, I'll give it a C

The main issue was the pacing, the middle 30 minutes could have mostly been cut and the showcase would be 10x better

 

[Xater]

Quite the good showing. Lots of stuff that interests me. Still only going with a B because sadly a lot of the big first party stuff is missing this year.

 

[Prine]

A.

Kojima, Starfield, Forza, Persona, Gamepass, Gamepass, Gamepass

 

[BassForever]

I said 7.5 in the other thread, but I'm settling on an 8/10, so solid B for me. Nothing mind blowing but a lot of games that look fun to play.

 

[HeavenlyE]

Think I voted B for their last few showcases, gave this one a C and shortly debated a D

 

[Dangerman1337]

C+ or B- so IDK which to pick what out of that poll. If Wolf 3 & Avowed there then a B+ would be the minimum.

 

[evilalien]

B, gameplay focus is good. Not many announcements I care about though.

 

[Dinjoralo]

They have some games actually releasing soon, which I wasn't expecting after what feels like an eternity of CG trailers and years-out release dates.
Spiderman on PC is still the best announcement for me, but this was okay. B.

 

[Dega]

That was great

 

[Asriel]

Loved everything. Best show in a long time. That they focus only on the next 12 months is perfect.

Click to shrink...

Yeah, and I expect that a lot of people here will be disappointed in that, but IDGAF. It's nice to know all of these games will be playable soon. I also appreciate the sheer breadth and diversity of game types in this showcase.

 

[Heysoos]

Not a ton of surprises, some big names missing, but shown nonstop gameplay and the big titles look really good. B+ for me.

 

[Aska]

Solid B.
Great show!

 

[Shock32]

I gave it a B, nothing mind blowing for their big showcase. but solid overall especially if you have GP.

 

[Kolx]

C and that's because of the limitations they put. Why force yourself to only show games on gamepass coming within the next 12 months?
