Curious question: when was the last time a large scale “Triple A” title released and actually met expectations?
The key word here might be “large-scale” which to me sounds like the production-line games like CoD.
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)
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?
The fourth A rolled over past the 3 character limit, making it a single A game.
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.
