Well, I didn´t get excited for not even one of the games on this list. It is sad. I´m sure there are a couple of good ones in the mix, but to be honest I don't think they would be THAT good, nor do I think that they presented them with "sould and emotion". Felt just like "Yeah, here are some new games. Goodbye."

That's why at least a 1/4 of Nintendo games are great, they have soul and the "IT" factor that just creates magic and excitement in our souls. (Just my two cents)

Damn, it must be quite dire if you bought an Xbox Series X for 500 dollars. That Xbox Direct was sad.

Yeah it was bad
The First Berserker looked cool, maybe Tales of Kenzara ? Even then, the trailer was actually pretty atrocious. I just hate when a trailer is trying to tell you what you can do in the game in a somewhat narrative way like « you can use your spells to both move and fight » as if it wasn't obvious you just wanted to make sure that metroidvanias fans will notice

Idk, the rap song in the last Prince of Persia game was cringey but at least they didn't had a narrator saying « look you can do cool shit » when they showed Sargon fighting


But yeah clearly Xbox has nothing but themselves. I mean, they bought everything so that's to be expected

    I know the pricing of electronics nowadays isn't "how much it actually costs" but "how much we can get away with", but putting up a poll is just cynical.
