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’m probably gonna be downvoted for saying this, but I’m a PS fan, and ngl it’s kinda the same over here imo. A lot of the games I’ve played haven’t felt TRULY next gen (especially when so many of them are cross-gen anyways). Tbh, indie games have been impressing me more than some AAA games recently. Don’t get me wrong, I did have fun playing games on both Xbox and PS, but none of them actually feel like they’re “console sellers.”
