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

I love the raw power of the Series X and how smooth everything is, also quick resume is amazing. But I dont really game like I used to and find my favorite way to play laying down on the couch with a show on with my Steam Deck. I actually really liked that split screen Youtube or TV option the launch Xbox One had and would still be using that today if it was an option.
