 There's nothing That anyone could say or do that would change how excited and out of shape It's very important that we immediately get something Extremely fricking crystal clear. I love my Xbox I adored my Xbox 360. I was never big on the original Xbox back in the day And I still right now not only love my Xbox one X, but I am still somehow Very excited for my series X. I just I love video games and video gaming in general I love having all of the consoles all the systems that I never have to miss out on a single exclusive I mean Gears of War is one of my favorite franchises of all time And somehow even though it has five friggin installments in the series six if you want to count judgment But let's just forget about it. It still seems to be a very underrated franchise that people Just that forget about it and as I've said a million times the reason why I love my Xbox one so much isn't so much for the Not exist in exclusives, but because it's just technically a more powerful machine than the pro I'm not big in the statistics and then oh who's got the best graphics But when one does true 4k and I have a 4k TV have I cleared up enough how much I love Microsoft do I need Phil Spencer to walk into this room so I can and I'm still excited for the new console however That doesn't mean that I loved that event that Xbox just put on in fact as an Xbox fan I was a little frustrated because I do feel like or everyone's eyes were zeroed in on Xbox in this moment Because it was Xbox's chance to show the gaming world. Why their new console deserves to be purchased Why should we go out and buy this system after the debacle that was Microsoft during this entire Generation and I just don't feel like they Knocked it out of the park and and really brought it home for anyone They very much dropped the ball this entire generation and it didn't really seem like until the last couple of years They really even cared about fixing it And so they sat there twiddling their thumbs for a few years came up with game pass and then decided to purchase 15 game studios and start making games of course because that was only a couple of years ago None of those games were ready to come out on the Xbox one this generation But you would think and we are now seeing that they are going to be ready and releasing on this new system So it's almost like Xbox just took a generation off of making games and they're going into series X full bore But I really thought they would be able to put on a really cool show It just didn't really land I want to go through as much of it as possible, but it was a long event I've already blabbed for way too long at the start of this video with my thoughts and feelings I just want to say I live-streamed it on twitch Thank you if you were over there with me watching that we had a great time follow me on twitch And you could see I was clearly excited and amped up I stayed positive right through to the end and there was a really cool announcement right at the end that made My frickin year And trust me I needed something this year to make me happy what the frick is happening this year But we sat through that pre-show for an hour and my gosh was that pre-show amping me up because they were releasing Your world premiere trailers during the friggin pre-show and in my mind I was like this this show has to be amazing if you're late if you're releasing if these didn't make the cut if Friggin Dragon Quest 11 Definitive Edition if hello neighbor 2 if ninja if echo generation that game looked awesome If all the those didn't make the main show, what did we have in store for the main show as it turns out? I preferred the pre-show Mostly cuz a ninja The best thing from the pre-show was that they told us that every game We were going to see today would be day one on game pass meaning if you already have game pass Everything you saw in this event you could essentially pick up for free. I mean you're paying for it You're already paying for it. Anyway, if you have game pass Xbox Microsoft They are doing some cool things and that's definitely one of the coolest announcements to know that all of this stuff's game pass day one I like that but just because it's kind of free Doesn't mean it's for me or for any of us. They have to be good games because even for free I'm not gonna play him if they suck so it begins it starts with a little bit of an unknown game You might not have heard of it. I think it's pronounced Harlow It's a terrible joke I quit I retire see it started with Halo They had this little trailer of of Master Chief being put together like Iron Man and it was really Hyping me up. I was so excited and then the gameplay started and I gotta say Immediately I was I was impressed by the gameplay itself very fast-paced really cool There's a freaking hookshot. I don't know when they added a hookshot to Halo, but it looks awesome Also, there's like a overworld map now. So I guess it's an open-world Halo. That's freaking cool Some classic Halo right in around in the Warthog beautiful gorgeous classic Halo gameplay very exciting can't wait open world would you believe it? Here's the kicker. It kind of looks awful Visually again, I'm not a graphics guy But even in this demo like right there as I was talking when they flick back from the map watch what happens when they Did you see that did you see that? It looked really ugly for a couple of seconds there That's not really like SSD super fast rendering that we've been hearing about from both PlayStation 5 and Xbox That's not really peak performance I'm seeing in this demo that you've chosen to show us But anyway, I'm not gonna judge just on that the entire thing as a whole I mean people are sharing screenshots all over the place just screenshots on their own this image Which is an official screenshot for the game, which it just looks bad It I'm trying I am still excited for Halo just because the game doesn't look Doesn't mean it's not gonna be a fun great game doesn't mean it's not a game that I'm not gonna enjoy Immensely put to start the show with a next-gen game and it looks like this It's just it is inherently underwhelming. We're looking for that next-gen thing I'm not seeing the SSD go to work I'm not seeing visuals go to work and they've come out and said since this that it was and this and that It's not just me making this up because they said themselves to clarify and to try and justify this It's of a very early build of the game But that blows my mind because the game's out holiday season the games out this year Why would you what if why would you not show a demo of the game? That's a little closer to finished a little bit where it's probably should be at by now Or at the very least if this is all you have to show maybe don't and then I'm not trying to be mean But maybe don't show a very early build of a game that's coming out soon because it miss represents the game Yeah, I mean there's more I could pick apart. They did this whole Speaking dialogue part with this enemy right up in the camera's face and it's just it's not animated well I mean you compare it to even Hellblade 2 another Xbox game even that's that's don't even compare it to any PlayStation games compare it to the animations in Hellblade 2 it's One looks next-gen the other looks like a 360 game. I Was gonna throw in remastered, but I think I'll leave it where I put it and again. I'm still excited I'm not trying to crap on it too much. I'm trying to have a goof in a gaff but at the same time Like it does it does look rough around the edges. I'm sure the game is gonna be fine because we're talking about Xbox And I don't know anyone else who has an Xbox one I don't know how many of you played the state of decay games the last one which came out fairly recently the last year or so Was actually pretty fun albeit kind of buggy even though we didn't get any gameplay here Which is a trend we will see through the rest of this video I am still excited for the third game because it's a reliable studio when it's a decent franchise Oh, I didn't even mention the worst part about Halo This is a preference thing some of you might not care, but they're turning it into a game as a service So 343 said it's the last standalone Halo They're gonna release for a long time and they're just gonna add content to this game Essentially, it's gonna get the destiny to treatment which I don't love that I would rather them just make a solid Halo game and just have it be a solid Halo game But I guess now we know what they mean by Halo infinite Because it's infinitely never going to end look forward to Halo infinite King Reborn on Xbox series X2 in six years from now Everwild is an extremely interesting case if you know me you can probably tell I love this art style It's just right up my alley. I love it. I adore it, but Yeah, there was no gameplay and it turns out there wasn't just no gameplay in this trailer There there actually is no gameplay This game is so early in development that rare has said they're still messing around with ideas for the gameplay Now this is where we find our problem You remember at the top of this video when I said Xbox recently bought like 15 studios and blah blah blah blah It takes a long time to make a game some can get shoveled out in a year looking at you assassins creed and every caller duty Some can get out in a couple of years, but more often than not they take a few years And we're not at that few year point yet And who's to say which of these games started on the dot two years ago when Microsoft bought these studios? Because we hadn't seen anything from 15 studios. What do we usually get first? Cinematic trailers whenever a game is announced you get a cinematic trailer It's very rare you start with gameplay then you get a gameplay after So what we're seeing here is a bunch of games being announced world-premiers as they like to remind you, but that means Cinematic you just don't jump straight to gameplay. It almost never happens I actually really liked this next trailer and I might even like the game It's a cooperative multi-player game where you play as like shrunken down kids having to fight Beatles But they had a fun little joke about cyberpunk 2077. They even had a battle toads reference hidden in here It's made by obsidian 2 and I honestly think this could be fun I think this could be fun It comes out pretty soon as well in a couple of weeks then we got an actual big obsidian game called avowed I had trouble pronouncing that one because it's me. I still can't say Shimagami Tensai Did I do it? I think I did this game takes place in a pre-existing universe of a series of games I I don't remember but a lot of people are really hyped for it more than likely This will turn out to be a really cool game. So I'm looking forward to this one It's cool to know I don't have to pay for it just in case I don't like it I know nothing about a dusk falls. They showed us. I think the game. I don't I can't tell you The only the only extra tidbit the only extra little Snippet of news we got for Hellblade 2 is that the game is set in Iceland That's all they said this whole segment was just It's in Iceland Psychonauts 2. Um, I really like double fine I never played the first Psychonauts though, but I love Jack Black. So there was a lot to love about this trailer Oh, oh, oh, oh get excited ladies and gentlemen. What is a console? What is a system worth having if it doesn't have destiny 2? I mean sometimes I think about selling my switch on Craigslist just because hey doesn't have destiny 2 What's the point in having it? I don't know. I hope you destiny 2 fans are happy Couldn't care less about that one stalker 2 again No gameplay, but we saw some really cool imagery and visuals here and what they did show and I am definitely Intrigued in this one Warhammer 40,000 Dark Souls had no gameplay. I can't tell you anything about it Tetris effect is Tetris I mean, it's a great game the gunk had gameplay. It looks very similar to Savage Planet But I like Savage Planet. So hopefully that's a good thing this right here Oh, I gotta tell you I breathed a sigh of relief when I got to this one because I finally found something that can be my favorite from the event Something I was actually kind of excited for and most of all something that actually showed off what the next-gen of systems are capable of My gosh, I mean PlayStation 5's event kicked it off right away with Ratchet and Clink showing us them jumping through dimensions in an Instant like that SSD go on to work It took us 46 minutes to get to the medium where we finally see something like that happening The dual reality gameplay two worlds rendered some Simultaneously like that is crazy looks like you can flick between them and in one of the realities something creepy will be happening Then you switch back. I don't I don't know. I can't really I can't really tell I'm very very intrigued. We're seeing a powerful machine run a game that needs that power So for me this was the standout of the event honestly, and I'd never heard of it before so I'm excited speaking of remedy. I Don't know this. I've got a lot of I don't know we did see little snippets of gameplay for remedies new game crossfire x I don't I don't was there an original crossfire. I'll give it a shot for remedy And I hope this one 10 turns out nice and then that was almost it That's almost it. They gave us a montage Of things we saw through the event and then they did the old Nintendo fake out where they they ended on something Cool a really cool announcement, and it was really cool. Actually. I'll just here's here's how it went down Here's one more thing fable if I see playground games. I'm gonna lose my mind People here it is. It's happening. He did it. Oh my god finally It is happening to me right in front of my face, and I just cannot hide it I am a huge fable fan. I love the original game and unlike a lot of hardcore fable fans I actually preferred the second one. I really really love the second fable Definitely one that I cherish and that I think about often and wish we could get a new one third one oh no Third one ain't it I am super excited for this Really excited we've been hearing rumors about playground games making a new fable for what feels like a couple of years now So I think this game might be further along than this little splash screen tells us But I still don't expect to see it for a year or two They've really got a want to get this right playground games up until now have only made forza and that might Scare a lot of you, but they're actually a really good game dev They're a really reliable company. They seem very passionate about making this fable game now that being said when you look back at just The list of things that we've seen in retrospect, you know, let's forget. We didn't see gameplay for a lot of things Let's just go down the list of exclusives Halo state of the K3 and new thoughts I mean of course ever wild couple of obsidian games and avowed could be really cool Help me to a new fable game crossfire X even though we don't know a lot about these games Even though a couple of them might not shake out to be the funnest things around town You can't deny that Xbox and Microsoft are making an effort here You can't say that there isn't exclusives coming You can't say that at least for the start of all of this the series X doesn't have exclusives Whether or not those end up being good or bad is yet to be seen But on the on the Xbox one you can't even say that there's bad exclusive because there is none There's none weirdly they said at the end of the event. They're gonna do another one. They never they didn't I really thought they were gonna give us a price in the date. Nope. Oh No, why why freaking why they said they're gonna do another event soon And we'll probably get it then and we know what that means if they have another event They have to have at least a few more cool things out of their 15 studios They showed us nine of the studios So we still have to see half the studios and I would like to think they'd have a couple more big surprises in store Why not do just one event then? Why split it and do two average events when you could just throw it all together and do one big event and give us a date We're so close We're so close I had a lot of thoughts and feelings on this event. Um that being said It was better than ea play. It was all so much better than you'd be soft forward Obviously nothing could compete with playstations event. It was better than the nintendo direct mini though All in all I I think it was a solid event Uh that fell shorter than it could have if they had waited the biggest thing Okay, here's another way to look at it as an already xbox fan Someone who's already gonna buy the series x and whose mind isn't gonna be changed on that I can look at this see the exclusives know that i'm getting all of this essentially for free See the cool things that are coming and now I have something to be excited for so for me as a fan It was good and a lot of people that think this is good might be in the same boat But if you're a playstation fan or a nintendo fan, or you're just you're a no one fan And you're trying to figure out which one to get I don't feel like this event gave anyone a reason to buy the xbox Especially if they've seen the playstation event. This event just did not do it. It wasn't it They didn't show up today. They haven't won anyone over They've just given xbox fans some stuff to look forward to that's just the way I feel But I think it's the way it is. I liked it But it didn't sell the series x so let's hope whatever second event they have planned is just Amazing what one of these days I'm gonna open that freaking I still haven't opened this I've had this for two weeks now. I don't know. I don't know what to do. I do a q&a Like I don't know what video to do for it. Whatever uh like subscribe. I'll see you guys later Bye
