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

This gen has been all about GamePass for me

Yup, I've been incredibly happy with my Series X/GamePass. I'm also not just looking towards "the next big game". As long as there are games to play I'm happy.

Can you use game pass on a pc? I just can't justify the cost of a game console with how everything is

Yes and it includes pc exclusives

Not only can you use it on pc but you can use it on the rog ally and Lenovo legion go. Better yet your progress in some of the games transfers from console to pc and back so you very rarely lose your progress. The rog ally paired with the series x is an amazing combo. Also got a tower with a 3070ti but I find myself chilling on the couch or in bed on the ALLY all the time.

I like using my series x more than my gaming pc it’s a very impressive console and simple and quick to use. We haven’t even seen what these are truelly capable of

Not only can you use gamepass..you get all the Xbox Exclusives, PS5 games are starting to go over there. You can emulate everything else like the ps1, ps2, gamecube, switch..games are cheaper, you don't have to pay extra to play online...and You'll never have to worry about 30fps games again.. PC is the way to go right now....and with the Sony CEO talking about PC being the future and they'll be letting PC gamers earn PS trophies with the release of Ghost of Tsushima next month...,the PS Exclusivity window is only gonna get smaller and small

Yeah, but it's important to point out that there are some exclusive titles to both PC and console. A LOT of overlap too, though. It's a hell of a value.
