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

Mostly games I really enjoyed this gen where probably some indie games or ps exclusive games .

The problem I have this gen every game is a similar openworld big map hundreds of quests and hours of playtime

I just want a smaller game with no copy and paste good story, my hopes are on gears 6...

Same, I’ve been playing through the Gears series again recently and I’m actually quite exited for Gears 6
