I've given up on every major developer/publisher, so-called AAA garbage, except for capcom for monster hunter and square enix for final fantasy. I'll be extra sad the day they too go the way of every other greedy lazy "AAA" game company...
At least indie devs care to make a good game and not try to make a money printing IP machine with some game like aspects in it.
as a hige indi/small developer fan i see great times ahad. AAA will fail, clmpanys will close and developers will find new homes in smaller teams. by 2030 i predict a golden age for AA and and perhabs also a new golden age for indi.
oof ffxvi? the "rpg" which is just a action game. ff vii remakes are at least good.
I'm not a purist lol I enjoyed the hell out of FF16. I think 8 and 13 were the only ones I didn't really care for
Even Capcom I'm not preordering. If wilds is getting good reviews a couple days after launch I'll get it. (Even though I'm pretty sure it will be a good game)
I feel like monster hunter is kinda hard to mess up, unless they suddenly decided to make it turn based with micro transactions for extra turns or something lol
The "story" is: omg big monster messing up the ecosystem, go fight! So it's really all down to gameplay lol
Nintendo's games are still usually very good, even though their business practices suck ass.
"AAAA" isn't a thing. That was just Guillemot being an idiot and flailing on an investor call.
$70 is going to be the new normal price for AAA. Prices haven't increased in decades. I don't like it, but that's what it is. It's not AAAA because of the price, nor is that even a thing.
AAA comes from credit rating scores. It essentially means nearly guaranteed returns. It was used to identify games that need to be stocked for game stores. AAA is going to sell. AA is slightly less but still good. Etc. There is not AAAA credit rating. That was just stupid marketing buzzwords that don't matter.
So Tears of the Kingdom was AAAA?
