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

my Steam Deck has helped develop my Steam library significantly

Been thinking hard on selling my Switch and picking one up because I have dozens of older games that would be perfect for that platform that I have to catch up on.

It’s not as seemless as the switch but it’s a great system

Yeah, I just got zero use outta my switch due to how anemic it is.
