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

Game pass sucks, honestly. I’ll sub and have 200 games infront of me and want to play none of them, because they’re all pretty shit and old games.

Out of the super premium triple A games, probably bought them myself at one stage.

Part of the fun of gaming for me is actually picking and committing to a game. Game pass takes that away for me.
