A solid 7/10 for me. They delivered with what they showed, but there were some key titles I wanted to see that were MIA

Really nice on the GamePass front

Best Xbox show to date.

A lot of games releasing in the next 12-18 months on Game Pass.

7. It was good, lots of variety etc, but I want to see more 1st party, I have a Series X for Microsoft games, so only seeing a few of those out of the 30 was slightly disappointing, but still a solid conference. Something being on GP doesn't really matter to me so that part is just there.

Too much "2022" to get excited for, it wasn't bad just felt too early. If it was Sept or Oct, it would be lit as shit. But understandable with covid and what not

Solid B I feel, good pace, good reveals, nothing ground breaking, a few lulls at best. Some noticeable absences though which drags it down.

8/10 personally, B+. Lots of games coming, and tons of them being on Game Pass means money saved.

Forza Horizon 5 is Game of the Show.

Negatives: Too many CG/in-engine trailers, not enough gameplay. Also a lot of shooters, a bit too many. Many games are 2022, so a long wait; not much coming this year, which is understandable, but I'm impatient haha.

It had Covid written all over it, but it's an A for effort for me. I doubt they could've done much better under the circumstances.

7/10

Many games, but most of them we already knew about or just updates to already released games. No megatons whatsoever, no element of surprise or amazement. A bunch of timed exclusives.

6/10. Psychonauts 2 looked amazing. I basically tuned out almost everything else, though. Way too much of a focus on shooters.

No complaints really.
No filler.
Solid 9/10

If I was forced to criticise it at all, I'd say it was mostly western focused, not really any Japanese games.

Great show, tons of games I'm looking forward to. Still wish they showed more gameplay overall though, too much CGI. While the premise and developer behind Red Fall has me excited, it didn't do as much for me as gameplay would have, especially as it's coming in a year. Ditto for Starfield and Contraband.

probably their best show case. Horizon 5 is a stand out as always. not sure if it's enough to swap players from playstation to xbox, but GamePass probably will eventually

The show gets high praise from me! While there were no showstoppers, they showed a ton of games I want to play. 9/10!

I think it was their best show in quite a long time. Those studio acquisitions are really starting to pay off

I thought it was a good show. Solid 8. Just wish we saw a bit more of the Halo SP

For a conference that was missing a lot of the first-party games I'm super interested in, I thought that was... a really good show.

Solid 7-8. Really wanted to see Hellblade 2 and Fable though. Forza looked amazing, Replaced and Somerville looked great too.

I voted 9, mostly because of all the good looking games coming to Game Pass, they did a great job driving that home.

Starfield release date was a bit of a bummer but I loved the grittiness of the trailer

No Fable was a disappointment, think I'll change my vote to 8 because of that

solid 8/10 or B rating for me. I bought a series x at launch and there will be a lot of gamepass stuff to play

Had 0 expectations and was pleasantly surprised at times. However, the pacing felt off to me (that and the audio lipsyncing 1-sec delay bothered me), but there were some interesting reveals. Overall, it was middling. That's ehy I give a 7 out of 10. :)

7/10. Some impressive titles, but many of the genres I don't really like and the ones that I do are multiplatform and already knew about or even helped kickstart.

With the obvious missing games (Avowed/Fable/Hellblade II/Everwild) and the ending portion with Forza Horizon 5 being a little too long, I'm gonna give it an 8. It was overall fantastic, had fantastic pacing until Forza Horizon 5's long showcase (even though yes, it was needed obviously) and honestly, there were games for literally everyone. Whether you liked JRPGs, FPS, Simulation Games and so on, there was a little bit of something for everyone which I absolutely appreciate. I literally can only dock it to an 8 for those two specific reasons and one them I fully knew going into cause Jeff Grubb tweeted to not expect said games.

It was lacking that holy shit moment. Gamepass looking mighty fine tho which is I guess what MS wants so good job I guess.

Best Xbox conference yet, but for me I wanted to see more gameplay, looking forward to trying about 6 of the titles shown.

Honestly for me, it was a 5. Had one or two things that interested me, but the rest of the show/games were meh.

Happy Starfield was revealed but I wish we saw more.

Horizon 5 looks really good
