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

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
