Jeff Gerstmann on Xbox showcase: Not much gameplay; rough show; don't feel great about the state of Xbox

I'm sure his gaming tastes have changed, and he probably isn't the slightest bit concerned about new trends.

 

But I wouldn't be surprised if he saw Starfield and said "that looks like a polished version of something I've already played before, and therefore it doesn't move the needle much."

This guy has the weirdest opinions. I remember when he was praising the mediocrity that was Halo Infinite like it was the 2nd coming. yet this showcase which was full of way better games did nothing for him.

Was a better show in every way than Sony's. 

 

Sony has Spider-Man for the last part of this year, MS has Starfield.  Pick your poison

He just goes against the grain for views. 
 

he does it on almost every issue. Now that you know this, watch it before your eyes with every major news drop.

acting like not being excited by xbox's re-heated flops every show is some contrarian opinion

It was the best show of the 3. Wonder how he felt about the others.

People are shilling for xbox because it has had literally nothing to show for the past 8 years or so. So by xbox standards it was a good show, however had xbox had this circa 2010 it would have been seen as another mediocre show.

 

Forza? Fable? And some filler Gamepass budget looking games which look to be AA at best if lemmings are really lucky. Not to mention half of this shit was announced 5 years ago.

Of course it was, its xbox. You've said xbox is the best ever year even though you always end up with no games.
