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

Yeah 360 was peak gaming. I quit buying new games when fallout 76 came out. They really made me mad when they started releasing games that weren’t even finished and charged full price for it. Oh well, I have better shit to do anyway.

It was happening long before 76 came out. Simcity (2013) was the first game I remember really wanting to play and it ended up being a broken mess on launch. Totally unplayable and it had no single player mode…

It was Anthem for me.

I was so excited to play that I took three days off work because me and my friends were hoping to play it non-stop. I was so disappointed that I actually called my work and asked them if I could scrap the rest of my days off and come back in lol.
