@kyleforrester87 It's a real slap in the face after years of overpromising and underdelivering.

I don't own an Xbox Series console, but I am subbed to Game Pass, and have played on multiple Xbox consoles in the past. I remember when they were great. Now the brand just feels like it's on auto-pilot.

@Kidfried This is not a fanboy post. It's just being honest. Hi-Fi Rush has been it so far in regards to quality first party titles this year that I can think of. What else is there other than hopefully Starfield?
