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 about SSDs and faster load times. That's about it.

Literally my favorite thing this generation was playing Monster Hunter World without 45 minute load times.

As someone who doesn’t have load times, I’m sorry. Worse is I’ve dumped enough hours in to know that the game just isn’t for me

I felt that way at first but MHW finally won me over. MH is one of my all time favorite franchises now, can't wait for Wilds.
