Curious question: when was the last time a large scale "Triple A" title released and actually met expectations?
Resident Evil 4
Final Fantasy 7
Elden Ring
Tears of the Kingdom
Forgot about Elden Ring.
I Always forget that Nintendo games are Triple A, I always get that indie dev vibe in spite of being as far from indie as one can get. Not in community engagement, rather in the notable detail and unique art style each game has, like you can tell the developers care about what they're working on. You can definitely tell when Nintendo themselves develop a game vs. when they publish a game. (cough Game Freak cough)
Game Freak needs to be put in a retirement home
There were countless developers that folded during the transition to HD, 3D graphics in the PS360 era, and I feel like Gamefreak would have easily been one of them if Pokemon hadn’t taken off the way it did.
Doom Eternal
I know a lot of people really enjoyed this game, but I couldn’t play more than a few hours despite loving Doom 2016. Restricted ammo quantity really killed the enjoyment for me. Adding Denuvo only after it was reviewed was a really shitty move and the soundtrack isn’t as good either now that I think of it.
I fail to see how that question is relevant since this game is a AAAA game /s
You have to wonder if they ever played Cyberpunk 2077 (incl. Phantom Liberty) before they came up with that line. The only AAAA game. Maybe not the best game ever, but it definitely felt like the most expensive game ever.
I played base Cyberpunk and I'd like to refund the 60h I played. Thankfully I pirated it, I would not have payed a dime. However I hear comments like: "Phantom Liberty is what the game should be" I watched no spoilers, is it worth playing for me if I despised the base game?
If you've played a game you despise for 60h then I think your opinion on that game is invalid and your opinion on games in general is suspect.
Well, some people are just stubborn. Same reason LOL has so many players that hate the game but still play it daily.
I think they just say that. If they truly hated it they'd stop playing, unless they get paid to play. What they have are gripes with the game.
Correction Ubisoft said this a quadruple A game.
The fourth A rolled over past the 3 character limit, making it a single A game.
It certainly is A game
