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

Agreed. Forza Horizon 5 is a stunner as well. Hellblade 2 in a few weeks also looks like a banger.

People are sleeping on Hellblade 2 but my guess is they haven’t played the first one which is a real shame.

The original wasn't AAA so most people here will ignore it. The comments here make me sad. There's more cool shit available to play now than EVER before, but people think the only stuff they can play is unfinished AAA garbage.

We were talking graphics, not performance. But sure we have Sea of Thieves looking amazing at 120 FPS.

Even dying light 2 looks amazing at 120fps but it’s a bad game unfortunately

Uh yeah the bad games you ignore, focus on the good ones like Halo and Battlefront II.
