The entire EA E3 presentation was a shitshow (with two exception)

bunch of concept arts, screen shots, battle royale, not much gameplay was shown

Command & Conquer: Rivals

The balls on EA to announce a MOBILE GAME on e3. They took one of the most beloved real-time strategy game and butchered it into a shitty probably-pay-to-win game you can play on your phone. What a joke

FIFA, Madden, and NBA

Not much happened here, next

New subscription service

Andrew Wilson came to the stage to announce more ways EA will monetize players. It's literally EA Access on Xbox, but now as EA Origins Premium on the PC.

Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order

No title art, no teaser trailer, no nothing. They forced the information out of the Respawn guy and he looked really uncomfortable about it. Supposed to come out at end of 2019. WTF was the point of the announcement, then?

Battlefront 2: Clone wars era annoucement

Promises of adding more heroes like Grevious, Anakin, and Obi-wan, along with new maps such as Geonosis. Now only if they did this DURING the game's launch. They are trying to gather the player base back. No thank you.

The two indie games

It's weird. Out of all EA games that were announced during the conference, these two were the only ones that looked like efforts were put into it. First is Unravel 2, a co-op 2d puzzle solving game that is actually available right now. The next was Sea of Solitude, with looked gorgeous with it's bright visuals.

The CEO's more PR bullshit

No apology, no acknowledgment, and no future plan on how they fucked up and got greedy. Instead, he goes on and on about how it's a "Player-choice" and microtransaction can still work


Anthem

Ehh. Looked okay. Way more versatile than Desinty, but the environment looked kinda...fake. Like, you can't ACTUALLY travel anywhere you want, and it's pretty much a semi-open world with detailed linear paths and tunnels

It can only get better from here on out with the rest of E3 2018.

This conference was so boring and un-hype that its not even worth making a hilarious as fuck mockery video like Sony's Embarrassing E3 2006 Press Conference:

I'm glad I skipped out on that useless presentation. This is why I don't but from the worst of the unholy trinity.

This is why I've become averse to live conferences. They're overly long, they're padded, they're awkward, and because of that they're BORING. The most amusing thing wasn't during the presser, but afterwards where journalists were asking EA if any of their games were coming to the Switch. They basically hung their heads in shame and whimpered "...No." Yeah, they made a tactical blunder there

It was so boring, there wasn't even anything to make fun of, which is one of the reasons I watch E3 in the first place.

I either want to be surprised and excited, or I want to choke on my popcorn laughing at what absurd idea someone thought was a good idea while on stage, and EA was so dry that neither of these things happened.

"We're sorry we fucked up Star Wars, please buy Battlefront 2. We don't want Uncle Disney to take away our toys :( "

EA has really played its hand well;they have shown contempt for their consumers in the past. Now they have decided not to put any effort into E3 because of that contempt. All for the very simple reason that they know people will buy their products, no matter what.

If EA's conference is so bad, then I can just imagine what Microsoft's conference will be like!
Well we saw. Lots and lots of trailers for new games.
