Hi Everyone! Yes I am planning on doing reactions to E3, I'll probably be posting them at night because I am busy in the mornings and won't be able to watch them live (Which sucks!!!) So, this is what I thought of E3 Day 1:

EA

Did not watch. After Star Wars Battlefront 2 my guess is all the games shown were broken messes.

Xbox

They really came out swinging at the start with Halo Infinity. It's been a few years since Halo 5 and we really haven't gotten any teasers or anything for more Halo. The graphics blew me away, and the classic warthog run music returned. Looks like Cortana returns, so it may be a prequel? or it could be a new AI partner. Very impressed.

Right after that, they went into one of the most anticipated games in Kingdom Hearts 3, and my God did that look amazing! The graphics were crazy good, and it looks like they are trying to incorporate the story more as a follow up to 2, with them searching for Roxas and Kairi (or the other girl?) being taken over by darkness. Suspenseful! The areas they showed impressed me as well. Monsters Inc, Toy Story, and Frozen should really appeal to a lot of kids and fans that grew up watching those two movies. I would say this and Halo really set the bar for E3, and I am very impressed with both games.

Phil Spencer comes out and gives a speech. I really do not like him, I feel like he perfectly symbolizes the snooty 13 year olds that play Xbox. My bias, but I think they can do better. :/

Fall Out 76's trailer was shown before E3, but I still feel like it is a solid game. Fall Out 3 looked good, so I imagine this capitalizes off of it. Graphics look nice.

Fortza made it's annual appearance. The graphics look great and I thought the idea of dousing the audience with fall leaves was a neat idea. My favorite part about the trailer was the cover of "I Can See For Miles." I'm a big Who fan, so I enjoyed the song.

The next 30 minutes were generic shooters that 13 year olds are going to have their parents buy them... yawn...

Cuphead DLC looked nice! Those bosses were incredibly hard, and adding more of them should give more challenges to the players! Plus the way they hand draw all the graphics is an amazing feat.

Tunic looks like a really fun game! I got some Pokemon Mystery Dungeon vibes from it where you scrawl through a square maze fighting bad guys, then face a boss at the end of it. The giant black wolf mage with wings at the end gave me chills. Epic!

After this the rest of the event was a bunch of zombie games with a mention they added 5 developers...ok... kinda an anti-climactic way to end the event. Maybe show Halo at the end or something.

**Edit*** I missed some games. Jump looks pretty neat, if I was an anime fan I would be freaking out. Gear of war 5 is also a deserving mention. Saw a couple multiplayer matches on Youtube, definitively deserved another sequel.

Compared to last year I though Xbox's E3 was weak, but it looks like they focused on quality rather than quantity this year, and thats something I think they accomplished. Halo Infinite, Kingdom Hearts 3, Fortza, and Tunic should be on everyones radar after today. They set the bar high. Grade: B+

Xbox stole the show from them a little with the Fall Out 76 trailer. It should be a good game, but it was already revealed during Microsoft's E3 and they kinda just milked it dry in their presentation. Then they went on to talk about Skyrim for the 8th year in a row. I liked seeing Fall Out in another trailer but not a lot happening over there.

Standings after day 1:

1: Microsoft
2: Bestheda
3: EA
