E3 2019 Xbox Press Conference

 

It's here! It's the time of year we as gamers wait for! Although EA had theirs last night I was away camping and thought we are still pretty pissed at EA (and BioWare) for Anthem so I gave it a pass. Also I am still choked at the lack of campaign in the Battlefront games so EA is pretty much dead to me...except for NHL19.

Anyway, the conference is about to begin so hold onto your butts while I try to live blog from the comfort of Chez Soup!
