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

They definitely have more games, but they haven’t exactly been rolling out bangers either. Just feels like AAA gaming is falling apart at the seams. The industry is in a very unhealthy place.

God of war ragnarok was absolutely a banger

Unfortunately, that’s on ps4. I know it’s on PS5 too, but just shows how much we need to reach when it comes to finding good current gen titles.

Just because its on ps4 too doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing…

I don’t say it was a bad thing. What is it with this fuckin website and people just reading one thing and seeing something completely different? 😂
