The Xbox Games Showcase event was no doubt a magnificent display of an amazing roster of games for the Series X console. From new titles like Halo: Infinite, Warhammer 40K, and State of Decay 3, to more optimized versions of older games like Forza Horizon 4 and Gears 5. But it looks like the event missed the mark regarding the expectations people had. Now, it should be noted that Xbox will be revealing more titles later this year. But with what everyone saw today, it looks like the majority of the audience has already made up their mind as to which console they are looking forward to- Sony’s PlayStation 5.

Fans took to Twitter, right after the event, to express their strong displeasure. Here is an example:

Now, let’s not be entirely mean. Some of the reactions the showcase got on Twitter were actually beautiful.

And they are right, some of the titles showcased during the event did strike a chord with a lot of people. In fact, the event showcased a great collection of Indie titles.

But now, let us take a walk on the dark side, shall we?

Xbox, it’s (not) all good man

Before opening the pandora’s box, here is something that summarizes the reactions.

Okay, at this point you might be wondering if the writer is a Halo fan because there is no tweet here trashing Halo: Infinite (except for the first one). Full disclosure, the writer is. But he is also terribly disappointed, so here you go:

Not going to lie, this occurred to us as well.

Yes, the game does look sub-par (excuse me, fanboy talking). After generating that big a hype, it is normal to expect something very evolved from the previous Halo titles. It was disappointing but then again, let us hold our horses until the game drops, since the devs have promised an ambitious campaign in this title.

Now, moving on to the tweets that were not too kind. Sit back, and enjoy.

This one does make sense, though.

Now, I have mixed opinions about this since the story seemed pretty gripping.

Again, this one does make sense.

Well, that was quick. But then, a lot of people did get excited about the new Fable title. And on that note, we would like to end with a positive tweet (feel free to disagree with the person).
