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

It's the remake/remaster and copy/paste generation. It feels like nothing innovating is coming out anymore.

My most played games this year? XCom 2 on xbox, Stellaris and Escape from Tarkov on PC. All ancient at this stage. Next up... Fallout 4.

Xcom 2 is top tier. Xcom 3 release is the only game that’s on the same level of excitement GTA6 is for me. Hope they go deeper into the base system and let us personalize our ship/base/quarters. It’d be much sadder when a troop dies after you just visited them in their barracks room, followed by some poor recruit moving into that room hoping they don’t see the same fate under my command.

There is some reasonable concern one could have, after the middling to bad spin off they launched a while back.
