Xbox Series X's cross-gen approach is robbing players of the next-gen thrill

Back in 2005 when 360 launched, it had the advantage of being able to handle modern PC games. Performance was bad, it was pretty cool to see CoD and Quake 4 running on console without significant compromises.

More importantly, we also had the underappreciated Condemned, a game I still consider dank as fuck.

I guess it's all perception. I thought CoD 2 looked like poop but the online was awesome. I did love Condemned, though. Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter was the closest thing to "next gen" for me, at the time but I wasn't blown away until Gears of War.

*Edit* I STILL play a ton of 7th gen games and, for better or worse, a fairly large chunk of my 8th gen games are just updated versions of 7th gen games. I'm going into gen 9 with tempered expectations.

the splitscreen of GR was very fun, hard enough that the few missions took me and a few buddies multiple evening
but oblivion should get a mention here aswell, my pc died during that time so untill i had enough money to get a new one i played it on the 360
