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

Unfortunately ps5 is winning this gen with games.

They definitely have more games, but they haven’t exactly been rolling out bangers either. Just feels like AAA gaming is falling apart at the seams. The industry is in a very unhealthy place.

I liked halo infinite and am waiting for H7. Hopefully they finish the story in the games and not in books.
