Yeah, thinking about it, my second favourite 3rd party conference I've seen behind Konami 2010...
I.... I think I agree with this. I certainly can't think of a better publisher show.

Eza really overrated ms
You guys watched the Rabbids behind the scenes video yet?

Online world is all I caught.
I know that's something Ubisoft has been big with recently, no idea what it'll mean for the game though. I'm not gonna worry about it yet.

I'm a bit annoyed by Huber's "I love it cause I love it" spiel.
Not really, it was trailer after trailer of interesting looking games. They rated the presentation, and it was well done.
Never put Sonic Adventure in front of me then. You'll hear it on loop.

Love Huber and I love AssCreed, but I hate when he gets defensive over it. Comparing these games to the MCU is ridiculous.
You enjoy a janky ass game and the others dont, nothing wrong with that.

Wait, why are they showing Sony is in 3 1/2 hours? Isn't it starting in 2 1/2?

2.5 for pre-show chat. 3,5 for actual conference.

I agree with Kyle. Revealing BG&E2 and then coming out at a later date and saying it's a Switch timed exclusive would be super shitty. It isn't that different from what happened with Rise of the Tomb Raider.
Anyway, my quick review of Ubisoft's conference:
Positives:
- Mario+Rabbids actually looked decent
- Lots of new IPs and surprising announcements
- Not much talking
- Great trailers almost across the board
- BG&E2 CG trailer was incredible
Negatives:
- Dancing segment
- Off-screen Assassin's Creed gameplay was dumb as hell
- A new toys to life game in 2017 seems somewhat out of touch
I'm giving them an A-. That was a very good conference, far superior to the conferences we've seen so far this year.

Yeah, pretty much the same as me except EA and Bethesda swapped.

Oh ok, then the GAF Timetable is wrong.
Yes, Rösti fucked up and got the times wrong.
Use Cheesemeister's own table instead:
Edit: Apparently Rösti deliberately put that time in because that's when the pre-show starts.
fixed that for you, then I completely agree
Nah, Skull and Bones looks to be just naval combat. Where's the pirate adventures?! They're totally different and I have zero interest in Skull and Bones unless I get off that ship.
Love Black Flag, but take my personal worst aspect of the entire game and spin it out to multiplayer and ughhhh
Naval battles with sea monsters.
Those to me are what Sea of Thieves is missing the most.
Skull and Bones seems to be a competitive naval combat game. Very different to Sea of Thieves.
That we know of. Can't wait for Jones to talk about it in the next few days after he played it and said every question he asked had a positive answer.

Agreed. SoT looks painfully boring, while SxB takes my favourite thing from Black flag and makes a game about it.
There was a moment when the talk about dividing the fleet to naval or kand combat or something like that. I hope not all is naval combat and that gives me hope.
So, Ubisoft is definitely the best conference (9.2)
2. Microsoft (8.7)
3. PC Gaming (8.5)
4. Bethesda (7)
5. EA (5.5)
(Im not ranking devolver but i thought it was funny)
It does feel like Ubisoft showed off a lot more stuff that was long off, maybe feeling that Vivendi takeover which is kind of sad. Trying to play all their chips they can to prevent the takeover.

Yeah, it's a long way off so plenty more to show I hope. But if the focus is competition wherever, it's a bummer.
I really need to go play some Pirates Gold tomorrow and dance with some goverenors daughters.

They all gave EA so high and I'm still not sure why

Yeah, Sea of Thieves seems like wacky co-op pirate adventures, while Skull & Bones basically just looks like multiplayer only Black Flag ship combat.
Having said that, I think Sea of Thieves will be DOA when it comes out, while Skull & Bones will probably be fairly successful in the same way Rainbow Six: Siege and For Honor were.
No context for everything else I guess?
But I think I remember Kyle saying something about rating EA high meant everything else would be lower lol
The Mario aesthetic works so well in HD.
Reminds me of when I first played Mario 3D World on the WiiU.
