E3 had its ups and downs.

The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly Of E3 2019

So it's that time of year when gamers rejoice and get together to experience the greatness that is E3. For those who don't know, E3 is a gaming convention where different gaming companies and publishers come together to display their games and consoles that they plan to release in the upcoming months or year. Now I don't know about everyone else, but this E3 has my hype level a lot higher than last year's convention. With that being said, there were some things that I didn't like as well. There also were some things about the conference that could've been better.

So, I decided to categorize my feelings into the good, the bad, and the ugly.

The good

For starters, I loved the games that were announced, and some of them release this year. I can't wait to get my hands on "Borderlands 3," "Phantasy Star Online 2," "Watch Dogs Legion," and so many more titles.

However, for conferences like Xbox, for example, I wish that more gameplay was shown instead of just game trailers, but you can't get everything you want at E3, so that's how it goes. I enjoyed almost every conference, and they seemed to have no mess-ups or computer errors like last year, so that's a big improvement.

The bad

Continuing on with the bad, there aren't really any bad games that got announced. Sure there were a couple that didn't have my interest, but I'm sure they grabbed somebody else's. Like I said before, I would've liked to see gameplay of the games in action to build to my hype level. Every E3, I create a little list of games that I would like to be announced, but unfortunately, none of them came true. But that's not E3's fault, so I can't hold that against it.

The ugly 

Now there are two things I found ugly about the conference. The first thing would have to be the audience members. There would be one particular person in almost every conference who would scream for no reason whatsoever. Somebody could be talking, and they would scream. That got annoying real fast.

Another part I thought was horrible was that during the Square Enix conference, almost every single game they announced was a PlayStation or a Nintendo Switch exclusive. Not one single game was added to the Xbox. That whole conference was biased, and it was a waste of my time watching it. The only way I would watch it next year is if it was my job to and I had to write an article about it.

Overall, if I had to rate it, I would give this E3 about a 9.5/10. I would just like to see gameplay for the games that were announced.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
