Oh yeah, baby. Frame your suffering as a masterpiece. Only one problem - no one's watching. It's boring, buddy, boring as death.

Nintendo should make a successor to the 3DS. Focusing on a whole new console when your current one is Sega Dreamcast levels of commercial failure seems like a terrible business decision.

What? Nintendo didn't make the Vita.

It's pretty obvious why someone in the industry who isnt an idiot wouldn't buy into hype, but it seems like every year a bunch of idiots melt down over Giant Bomb not being enthusiastic enough.

Exactly. Like, not every game looked like an amaze-balls must-preorder title, but the way most were presented was really solidly done and just about everything they showed (Infinite Warfare excluded) was either PS4 exclusive or had exclusive PSVR components. Maybe they were hoping for a new Bushido Blade like I was?

Well the last two years were pretty amazing for them.

This year two of their three mega announcements from last year didn't even show.

Don't need a holster if you never stop shooting.

Ending on zombie shooter #352 wasn't great, but Sony did exactly what they were supposed to do -- announce and showcase games without patronizing the audience

Maybe Microsoft has just lowered my standards to the degree that I no longer know what a decent show is supposed to be like

I hope Nintendo is good this year

There was no Shu and no Adam. How could you get into that.

Seriously though, Sony played it super safe. They seem scared that GB's Neo leaks may have upset this PS4 customer base that's so big that three years ago they would have been thrilled to have it. They've gone from "will anybody buy consoles now?" to "people need to start buying consoles regularly like they're disposable cell phones or hard drives." In about three years.

They not only neglect to display Neo because they're afraid to make their customers feel like they have obsolete hardware, but they didn't even drop the price of the PS4. They had a LOT of VR and it's not certain there's anything about VR that doesn't look like a VR specific DLC mission for a larger game property.

The things they did well was bring God Of War into the Dark Souls age. I did not like any GoW game, even the first one, but I would give this new version a chance.

The poo poo they chose to show, though, I dunno. Bungie showed the Destiny expansion on a Twitch stream like four days ago when previously that property was a staple of Sony shows. Final Fantasy 15 had two displays at yesterday's event that were worse than they were when the game was a concept.

Last year they strained for time a bit, everybody has their Assassins Creed Syndicate trailer that was one piece of the larger demo shown at Ubi. Sony (or MS, I forgot) had a whole segment on Fallout 4 last year even though the Bethesda event thing was more complete. But come on, Lego Star Wars?

It was still slightly better than Andrew House announcing that Ratchet movie dud and letting someone spend half an hour talking about Powers.

Regardless what you think about the conference, on a scale of the rest of E3 Sony actually had games to show and nobody in a blazer and jeans came out to describe exactly what you just saw for 10 minutes.

Now the important question: when is Persona 5 being shown because Atlus made promises.
