Did E3 sell/unsell you on any games?

- Start date
Sold: Watchdogs
Unsold: Shenmue 3 - Its more of an insult that the game doesn't show any evolution of systems. As much as i love Shenmue1/2, its unplayable for me today, creatively, its barely moved, and thats a shame.

SE is about to make a fortune off FFVII Remake and yeah we are gonna spend a lot of money on it. I know I am. Happily.
Sold: Watch Dogs Legion, Luigi's Mansion 3
First one we knew about due to leaks, but if the demo is to be believed, it's mechanics are very well executed. Second one I knew and was interested in, but the gameplay Nintendo showed us was pretty good, so I'm definitely going to buy it.

I was cooling on Gears and Halo before E3 but after being huge fan in the early 360 days I'm now i'm completely out on both and probably Xbox in total. I was sure i would play Battletoads but that looked abysmal. Very poor showing of MS, can't believe it.
Avengers was a sure buy and now it's a wait and see.
I was cautious on Luigi's Mansion 3 but now i'm all in.

Nintendo Treehouse sold me on Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3. Direct sold me finally on FE: 3H and Animal Crossing too for sure.
Square sold me HARD on FF VII too, like damn, that looks perfect.
I don't know, everything I knew I wanted is better in this E3.
OH, unsold on CG trailers and YEAAAAAAAAH's and WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO's

The single concept of playing as a range of NPCs and not a proper main protagonist leaves me so cold that it's very likely I won't ever play Watch Dogs Legion. That and the fact that the tone is more reminiscent of the second game and not the first. Honestly, I kinda hated what I saw.
Feeling a lot more confident about FF7 Remake now, despite the fact that the first episode takes place entirely in Midgar and the team still doesn't even know how many installments there will be in total. After all that silence, it's come back looking like a coherent game and the designs of everyone and everything are pitch-perfect.

Sold:
Trials of Mana: Both the original and the remake look cool and like games I want to play
Luigi's Mansion 3: Good showing. Back to a single building, but keeping the different themes and adding neat mechanics. Should be good fun.
Oninaki: Just looks super solid. Tokyo RPG Factory finally figuring it out
Tales of Arise: Amazing that this series is finally getting a budget.
Elden Ring: The premise alone is good enough.
Unsold:
FFVIIR: The gameplay looked great, but I can't get interested in a game that stretches what was 6-8 hours of content into a full game in Midgar. Also, the fact they don't know what the scope of the full remake is tells me this is just not fully thought through. So many issues.
Daemon X Machina: Too messy and just not scratching that mech itch the way I want.
Star Wards: Jedi Order: As bland as the white guy protagonist.
Pokemon: This game doesn't deserve a pass from looking so bad and uninspired.

Luigi's Mansion is now a must buy . The first trailer was a bit of a letdown but the new trailer and especially the Treehouse coverage, made it look awesome.
Astral Chain is now on my radar...but I'll still wait for reviews.
Pokemon Sword/Shield. I've never bought a Pokemon game before ..but this looks great in regards to the more openworld nature.
Adding a dash of Breath of the Wild has likely sold me on it for the first time.
I've only ever purchased Animal Crossing on the Gamecube. The crafting in the new one makes it look a bunch more interesting...so I'll likely come back.
I've not really been unsold on anything.
I'd like to mention something for the PS4/PSVR..but they didn't really sell or unsell me on anything.

Sold on FFVIIR now, which I didn't think would be the case. I LOATHE FFXV, and that style of gameplay
Unsold on MS and Xbox, which is a surprise to me - love their hardware, and I can appreciate what they are doing with Gamepass (excellent value) but they just are not my type of games. Except for Ori 2 - I will be playing that on PC because it is one of the best games I've ever played. But the new Battle toads is just not for me, and Rare is officially dead at this point. I have no more hope for any of their games or properties
Unsold on Cyberpunk - not for me at all
If there is one thing I can say, the Switch is going to have the majority of my playtime going forward, with PS4 for the occasional game I cannot play on that system like KH, Tales of Arise, and the PS4 exclusives
I am sold on so many Switch games
Fire Emblem, Astral Chain, DQ, DQ Builders 2, NNK, etc ... my wallet is so screwed

Treehouse's first day was excellent. I'm in 'seriously considering' territory for all of them. One exception might be Pokémon, but that's less due to the reveal and more for the simple reality that I have a ton of unplayed classic Pokémon games that I can't justify a new one.
Sold: cyberpunk 2077, Doom eternal, the outer world's (when on Steam or gog not EGS) Wolfenstein youngblood
Unsold: nearly everything else. E3 sold the things I expected to be sold on, but didn't sell me something I didn't expect or didn't know about... That's pretty poor

I guess unsold on Cyberpunk but that's been happening for a long time for me. The trailer still did nothing for me though it DID tell me a very generic story about a deal gone wrong and show me Keanu, but it's far from actually having my interest. We could have really used some gameplay since it's less than a year out now.

I don't think it changed my mind on any games I knew about already. It probably unsold me on Pokemon Home and buying some older Pokemon 3DS games to build up a collection to transfer, but I'll still play Sword & Shield
Jedi Fallen Order is a day 1 Origin Premier "rental" for me, no doubts about it after this E3, and... well, I was already completely sold on Cyberpunk 2077, so breathtaking Keanu just reassured my preorder.
Edit: Oh snap, I completely forgot about LEGO, but I usually buy every single game they release so, yeah, Skywalker Saga and Forza expansion are coming home too.

Definitely unsold on Avengers, and honestly? Might be unsold on Cyberpunk as well. I love Keanu as much as anybody, and apparently it looks astonishing. But some of the reports of the behind closed doors make it sound as if it miiiight just tip over into the 'Oh it's a bit racist' bracket, which would be very unfortunate.
This, but I wasn't skeptical, I just didn't care at all. Now they are high on my radar. But with the Q1 2020, I am not sure there is place for them at launch.
Was sold on a few things beforehand, but specifically from E3:
Watchdogs Legion - big surprise as it's a style of game I'm usually very picky with, but London looks amazing and the concept intriguing
Luigi's Mansion 3 - was happy to see a more expanded look at things and it feels much closer to LM1

Sold (As in had no/little interest but now very itnerested)
- Watch Dogs Legion: Very impressed by the reveal and they're saying a lot of interesting things.
- Wolfenstein Youngblood: I adored TNO and enjoyed TNC but just didn;t feel the hype for this one. That has changed.
- Modern Warfare (if it counts): I haven;t bought a CoD in years but this looks right up my alley. Genuinely exciting for the first time in ages.
Unsold
- Potentially Avengers, the art style and VA was... unexpected. Some of the details since are more encouraging though.

Sold: Luigis Mansion 3, Animal Crossing NH, Watchdogs Legion (i might not actually get it anytime soon but like if i ever wanted to jump in on the franchise this one looks neat and reminds me of ZombiU), Link's Awakening, Spiritfarer, Cadence of Hyrule
Unsold: Battletoads, Minecraft Dungeons

Sold: Animal Crossing. Never played an Animal Crossing game but it just looks so charming.
Unsold: Pokémon. Gamefreak never ceases to impress me with how out of touch they are.

I don't know if I'm getting tired of gaming in general or what, but E3 didn't really sell me on any games.
The abundance of CGI trailers really ruined it for me.
I can tolerate those if they are really cool -- if they are worth it for pure entertainment value even if they weren't connected to a game, but otherwise they are pointless.
The lack of gameplay was sort of worrying in general. The standout for me was Gears of War 5 where they apparently won't show any campaign gameplay until a few weeks before launch. That game is in trouble. (But I am not going to whine more about it).

Sold - Xbox Scarlett, I swore that I wouldn't buy the new Xbox as my current one never gets used but that crazy promotion of 3 years of Ultimate game pass for $1 has made me change my mind, I'll buy it just for Gamepass.
Unsold - Avengers, 4 player co-op, free to play ...... nah I was hoping for something akin to Spider-Man.

Flight Simulator is 100% a day one purchase for me (or even a preorder in case it gets a physical limited edition).
CP 2077 was already a 100% locked purchase even before E3, now that they showed the CE and I find the content underwhelming I'll just stick to the physical standard edition.

I loved LM1 and 2 on 3ds and played them a few weeks ago. I think I'm tired of the same formula now...
I bought Collection of Mana instantly.
I'm still on the verge about S&S. I think it's now in Let's Go levels of spitting in the face of players. It's simply shameful, no way around it.
I was totally unsold on Cyberpunk, but the latest jab at the LGBTI+ community sealed my decision. CDPR just couldn't help themselves. One bad apple my ass.
