F from me. Worst show I've seen in many years.

 

[Yoshichan]

anyone voting anything above f is a retard

[FunkMiller]

The games industry is full of talentless executives and cucked devs/10.

 

[GrayChild]

G for "Glad I have such a huge backlog waiting, so that I can ignore all that garbage."

 

[The Cockatrice]

Wasted 2 hours of my fucking life.

 

[Punished Miku]

That mobile ad at the end probably made Geoff 5 million dollars. We are all suckers.

 

[Draugoth]

Pretty standard event

 

[MetalFreak]

That was a snoozefest… holy shit!!

 

[Flabagast]

Terminal F for be

 

[{insert code here}]

The current state of gaming condensed into 2 hours.

 

[Thief1987]

-F

 

[POKEYCLYDE]

I rank it D. It's not an F because they did set expectations low. But it really had absolutely nothing exciting to me.

 

[Danjin44]

Metaphor and Monster Hunter Wild was only exciting game from that show but they were already announced so to me I still give it F.

 

[Yoboman]

You know if your kick off announcement and maybe one of the 3-4 best looking games shown is fucking Lego Horizon then you're in trouble

 

[Pelao]

There were two or three things that piqued my interest, but overall it was really a terrible show.
F.

 

[Diddy X]

Big companies have their own shows where the good stuff is showcased.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Only NEW cool games announced were the Power Rangers one, and Killer Bean.

For a 2 hours show that was kinda fucked up.

 

[adamsapple]

Watching it on YT right now, so far it's an F.

Haven't reached the Alan Wake 2 par, that will bump it one grade by default.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

 

[Senua]

E because the Kingdom come deliverance 2 trailer was awesome. And I liked seeing Sam lakes face

 

[YCoCg]

C because unlike the State of Play (which I gave a D) it had more than one game I'd like to buy, that may sound like a low bar but hey, if I come out of a show with around 4 or 5 games to try then it isn't bad, it's average.

 

[Madflavor]

I miss E3.

I mean I really miss E3.

 

[West Texas CEO]

Wasted 2 hours of my fucking life.

 

[Arsic]

Geoff even warned us to keep our expectations low. Which I did.

But I figure maybe he got the new borderlands game trailer, or a teaser for gears 6 into a full trailer at the Xbox event, or something…

My man just assured I will never tune in again to one of these.

 

[SJRB]

C.

Keighley told us not to get too excited and he was right. Tons of games, all of them super mid at best. Insane amount of indie games, which is good because indie devs deserve a spotlight, but it lacked literally any banger to balance it all out.

 

[Denton]

I mean, there were like three decent trailers and one fantastic one, but overall, I am not vibing with what this industry is making.
Fortunately, there are still plenty of games for me even if they are not showed at summer game fest.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

I didn't even watch it lol. Just waited for the important stuff to be posted here on GAF by my bro Draugoth .

 

[Success]

D

It was just boring.

At least Geoff tempered expectations before the show so I will give me an A+ for that move.

 

[Hudo]

Metaphor, Kingdom Come 2 and that Power Rangers game were good. Also nice to see Sam Lake.

3.5/10

 

[KyoZz]

F

That was awful. Literally nothing interesting beside AWII and KCDII, which were already know.

 

[mortal]

Don't use E in the USA. Although I did appreciate the variety of titles, that was a D for me.

Phantom Blade Zero sort of looks cool, I guess.

 

[The Cockatrice]

My expectations were low and I still felt robbed. Its obviously not Geoffs fault that this year is pretty much dead in terms of big games, but still... a weak ass show, dont do it if you have nothing to show for it.

 

[West Texas CEO]

I didn't even watch it lol.

 

[BoxFresh123]

Beatable

Don’t we have enough indie showcases though? Isn’t one specifically for indies? Then there’s devolver event and a lot of PC game show is indies too.

To add to that none of these were a loop hero or Inscryption level indie to be hyped for.

This wasn’t a “mid” show. It was Geoff scamming $250,000 checks from people.

 

[Nydius]

My opinion, in total:

 

[Alan Silvestro]

F+ because Phantom Blade 0. Everything else to be forgotten, every game or almost every game, even an idiotic indie about mountain climbing, is totally woke. Not to mention the art direction of everyone, even Monster Hunter Wilds itself, which looks worse than the very ugly and useless Dune Awakening. Mah, at this point better retrogaming.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Wasn't trash but also wasn't fire.

C.

 

[Bartski]

The only really good thing except Phantom Blade 0 was Space Marine 2 preorder trailer which I think wasn't even new.
I'll check Alan Wake 2 DLC but overall this was a complete waste of time

 

[digoutyoursoul]

The lukewarm reception in the audience says everything.

I enjoy some indies , however a lot of these games look like they are made from a console game maker like Dreams or something. It all feels so soulless.

As for this keep expectations low stuff They weren’t high to say the least but isn’t it sad how more and more we are seeing this kind of talk for these things when it should be exciting and fun as something to look forward to? There is something off about it all, are you telling me out of all the developers in this world there isn’t at least one game that could make an impact and gain substantial excitement out of a show like this?

Said it earlier, I’m tired of Geoff as well. Maybe a successor would have similar problems but this guy, he’s stale imo and the act stinks. His co presenter, she was terrible, like some beta AI AR test with test to speech delivery. Very odd.

E3 has had some stinkers in terms of conferences but this has to be one of the worst i have seen. Absolutely soulless.

 

[T4keD0wN]

Grand total of zero new games on my radar, worst show yet and its not even close.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Cheap games with woke art is most of what I watched.

 

[xrnzaaas]

I'm glad I didn't watch it and just browsed the new threads.

 

[Arsic]

Keep in mind too a vast majority of these trailers weren’t even gameplay.

This was REALLY bad. Worst show in “E3” history. Not even a meme…

 

[Plague Doctor]

All you fuckers are so negative. You got to look at the silver lining. With the big pubs all making a mad dash for ai assets for creative development, GaaS monetization, and increasing base prices, these games will look like the Halcyon Golden age in 5 years by comparison.

Shit.... I'm sorry.

 

[Karl af Duktig]

A commercial break lasting two hours, during which advertisements for poorly made or low-quality games are shown.

 

[cash_longfellow]

Sure as shit hope this isn’t what the industry is seriously becoming. I’m going to chalk it up to the Summer Fest just being garbage….but after four decades in gaming, I’m starting to really worry at this point.
