It was A.

Showed what they had to show. Big games, small talk.

Only downside is the timing is late once again.

That's your opinion dude. No hate here, but 30% of the people in the GAF poll rated it a B too.

This doesn’t surprise me. I’ve even done some on my phone with Gamepass while I’ve had to wait places.

Because most Xbox owners have a Series S and there isn't enough storage to download games. I know because i'm streaming Forza Horizon on my Series S in my wfh office and i dont want to delete anything to make 153gb of room in my internal storage and 512gb seagate card. I also have a 1tb expansion card for my Series X and it's still not enough. I dont understand why we can't get a M.2 adapter.

Mostly because it doesn't have a date. That is why their score line is low.

Do the reasons matter, so long as the final rating I or anyone else chose was a B?

If you thought it was a worth an A, good for you mate. Its a win for you and your tastes. And for just over half the voters in the poll it was an "A".

My point was only that as a third of the voters scored it same as me, it shows its not that "out there" as overall opinion of the show.

I’ve been shocked by checking the Xbox Reddit how many of these kids are playing on XCloud. There’s a new thread every day bitching about wait times.

Gamers have an infatuation with hairlines going by this thread and the chat of any streamer. Like an obsession lol. It's almost like 35% of men deal with some form of it.

I'm not surprised about cloud. It's actually a lot lower latency than it was months ago, and they worked some magic to where it isn't blocked by my workplace anti-gaming Nazi firewall.

It was a solid "B" showing, but legendary? GTFO.

What exactly was there to get so hyped about? A lot of sequels, a lot of expansions, and what was new had mostly been trailered multiple times already.
You’re describing gaming as a whole

50% of 10 is 5...

I'm not against cloud gaming we just aren't there now, It's still very much a privileged alternative.

Poor Phil having to deal with this 'hip hop gamer' clown with his fucken chocolate watches and styrofoam bling. Like being trapped in an episode of Pimp My Ride.

I got 9 seconds into that video and turned it off. People who suck cooperate dick make me cringe.
 
It's still nowhere near good enough to replace local hardware. And I have 1GB fiber optic. We'll see in... hmm maybe 2040 or so.

A lot of sequels? Are you serious with this?

I swear to God some people just literally cannot accept when something is good.

"Release 📅"
That is the sour grape of the event. 2025 is too long.

That is main issue with that event. The presentation was great.

B ranking *is* good. Its just not great or "legendary" which was the description I was disagreeing with!

And I stand by that.

But just like MTX, they will keep pushing and conditioning the new generations of gamers, and they won't ever know the wiser prior to their birth.

Up “50%” from what? 5?

Without context the percentage itself is meaningless.
Remember last year or so the France console sales were up 1400% for just one week(?).

But they only averaged like 200(?) or so consoles sold prior.

Or Japan was up 100% :pie_roffles:

Hallow victories, but big possitive PR I suppose.

I gave it a B, maybe B+ because the Fable segment had actual gameplay segments laced into it. Which they definitely could've not done for another year or so.
