This generation has been underwhelming Discussion

I bought a Series X at launch, and can’t think of a single game that has impressed me this gen. I’m a big Halo fan, and Halo Infinite felt like a letdown. I’m a Forza fan, and Forza Motorsport felt like a massive disappointment. I was exited for Starfield, but was underwhelmed after playing it.

It just feels like we’ve had no heavy hitters this gen, even 3rd party AAA games have been average at best. I guess the only hope I have left is with Gears 6, but aside from that, Microsoft needs to get their act together and start releasing some new games. It feels like games are taking way too long to make these days, we used to get bangers every year in the 360 gen. Even the Xbox One had more compelling games than what we have now

MSFS has been the only “wow” moment for me this generation.

Same. It's really top tier.

Everything else is looking like the exact same thing as before but with better graphics.

I mean, for those that have been gaming for a long time, that’s been the case for a long time.

Every iteration is largely the same types of games and mechanics with updated graphics, more complexity, and more content.

Past and current gen I feel more like it. In ps360 gen games at least were more creative. It ofc birthed the problems we have today, but at the same time it coexisted with more creativity.
