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

The games this gen are very good, problem is they arn't truly utilizing the consoles. Biggest problem is most games are still made with Gen 8 (XOne/PS4) in mind. And the one's that are Gen9 is being pushed at a forced 30fps so the game stays at 4K and all these other features.

I'm perfectly happy with 1440p at 60fps. Give me that option at least.

some 3k pcs can't handle 4k/60 because they are using lighting techniques used feature films (cyberpunk pt and alan wake). you're right about 4k still being unreasonable but a lot of the time it's also poor optimisation as well

there's also such thing as low settings.

You're clearly ignoring the point of the comment.
