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

Don't expect much to change. We reached a state where there are all kinds and sorts of games. Be it retro styled, be it realistic... gameplay is the main focus currently which is great. There is something for everyone out there.
There were a lot of good titles this generation, but they don't get as much credit as there are many many many more titles released on all kinds of platforms. being it indy games or games from well known companies and big publishers.
and that's where the problem lies imo. it's too much. can't keep up, losing interest etc. hell it's the reason why i missed a few good titles so far. and I won't be able to play them any time soon since there is another game already in the pipeline that got my interest.
Remaster, Remakes and Ports are a thing since the dawn of videogaming those aren't the main issue, and if they were, they are since gaming exists.
