Three years early We’re approaching Christmas now and the busiest part of the year for games. I am interested in a few, namely God Of War Ragnarök and Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, but I’m kind of concerned that we don’t know anything about PlayStation 5 or Xbox exclusives going into the new year. Not only that but as much as I’m looking forward to seeing the story of Ragnarök the graphics look basically the same as the last one, because this has to be a cross-gen game.

I hate to admit it, but this gen of consoles has been a disappointment. I know there’s a lot of explanations for why, most of which were unavoidable, but at the end of the day I’ve spent all this money on my PlayStation 5 and nothing has been all that exciting. There’s been lots of good Sony games in the last two years but they’ve almost all been cross-gen and the only good one that wasn’t, Returnal, looked like a PlayStation 4 game anyway.

And now the new releases, and announcements, have slowed to a crawl and I’m wondering what I spent my money on. Or at least thinking I should’ve just waited two or three years.
