I guess when I look at this iteration of Diablo myself, I see exploitation and targeting of addiction and would rather not see it in the industry and certainly not grow. I won't touch it myself.

Kotaku with another article, cringey but gets the point across I guess.

Dude Spends $6,000 On Diablo Immortal, Gets No 5-Star Legendary Gems

There are cheaper, though maybe less effective ways to prove a point

I'm more excited about this than I probably should be

Goat Simulator 3 was a megaton announcement in my household. I literally had al three boys jumping up and down screaming.

You don’t want to know how much of the first one has been played here lol. It’s like crack for little kids

I was amused how they trolled and riffed the Dead Island 2 trailer.

That Xbox showcase just now was so underwhelming. Maybe they should buy even more publishers so they can finally have some games.

missed most of it, as I am more of a Playstation fan.

I did think Starfield looked pretty good... their environments seemed good - i like the photorealism approach more than the garish colors approach (which is subjective I know).

As a Fallout fan, it looked like a better Fallout (in space)...

outside of that, I was hoping to see a new Hellblade trailer, as that game looks great.

I wish Kojima actually showed something though...

Other than A Plague Tale: Requiem nothing really interested me until they showed Starfield which I never really paid attention to before but could see myself playing. Fallout didn't even really interest me and I think I'd rather they just make a new one and not focus on making it a multiplayer game this time.

EDIT: It looks like the RE4 remake isn't coming to Game Pass. I thought everything in the graphic was coming to Game Pass but there's certain titles that don't have the Game Pass tag overtop of them.

I just can't bring myself to be excited about Starfield. Bethesda is firmly on my list of studios that I don't really trust to make good games. Used to love them but meh. Wait to see how it actually turns out when it's released.

If Sony was smart they'd drop a God of War trailer with a release date right now because that'd be more exciting than anything Microsoft just showed.

I don't know how you see that Starfield footage and feel underwhelmed. That game looks amazing.

I was also pretty excited by Diablo IV.

The Fallout 4 reveal looked good too and that game was pretty mediocre.

Pretty decent show if you ask me. The focus was on games coming out in the next year as they wanted to show more gameplay and get away from the “here’s a cryptic CGI trailer of a game you’ll play in 2026” sort of thing. There’s a huge roster of studios under the Xbox umbrella now so obviously there is a lot in the oven for release beyond that window.

I mean, if Sony did a show centered around the same time frame, would it really have a whole lot more? God of War would be in there I suppose, but there were some cool games shown off today and the fact that so many of them just plop in to Gamepass on day 1 is gravy.

Someone must have fallen asleep if this didn't give them a big stupid grin watching it.



That will be a day one play for me.

while I don't disagree with that, especially after FO76, I guess hope springs eternal that Bethesda will be able to put those issue behind them.

curious about in game purchases as well...the way they described the game, it sounded massive. Not exactly sure how that gets funded considering its going to be a Day One drop on Gamepass?

No Man's Sky took a number of years to get to a point where it actually was as good as its initial trailer.

that said, still a game I am curious about
