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

When I buy games and not finish them I feel guilty.

When I play game pass games I stop playing them when I want without feeling guilty about not finishing them.

Also makes it easy to play and find games I never would have normally tried.

Why would you feel guilty? Games have totally different lengths and totally different reasons to play them. E.g. if you've played Witcher 3 for 50 hours you're not even close to ending the main story but it has already given you so much.

Just a personal thing.

I played Witcher 3 for over 200 hours combined. One playthrough on Normal and again on Death March.

I decided if the game just isn't fun I'll refund it if I can or otherwise move on. Mediocre games are not worth my time if I'm not enjoying them.
