So, my thoughts so far.

The Summer Games stream was lovely, not too many games I'm hugely excited about but there was a good mix on offer.

I only watched the Rainbow Six portion of Ubisoft as Siege was the only thing I was interested in, but from what I've heard, I missed absolutely nothing. I also didn't watch Gearbox but I heard it was a pointless presentation.

Xbox had the best showing so far, there was a ton of interesting and exciting games and the Game Pass has pretty much solidified itself as the best deal around. The fact that every major Xbox title and a good chunk of third party games will be available Day 1 on Game Pass is just crazy. Microsoft have truly woken up and I'm excited to see how Sony responds.

The Square Enix presentation was a waste of time. I liked the look of Guardians of the Galaxy but the segment went on far too long and I was put off it by the end. The fact that they are doing a classic collection of FF games and are not bringing them to consoles is infuriating and deeply stupid and the focus on mobile gaming as a whole was a mistake. Few people who watches these things care about mobile gaming, why devote so much time to it while neglecting titles people wanted to see? The Babylon game has potential but I need to see more (plus I was frustrated by the presentation at this point and didn't care too much about the interviews that were eating up time).

Life is Strange looks lovely though, I'm truly excited for it and I'm comtemplating getting the ultimate version since I fancy playing through the remastered original games.

As for the final game, Final Chaos: Chaos Rising: Special Chaos collection, Definitively Chaotic Game of the Chaos. I cringed through the entire chapter, a Dark Souls take on FF1 was rumoured a few days back and the gameplay has potential but if I hear the word Chaos again, I will ****ing scream.

I'm looking forward to see what Capcom have to offer and I'm sure Nintendo will serve up some big surprises.
