Curious question: when was the last time a large scale “Triple A” title released and actually met expectations?

Doom Eternal

I bought the Doom collection like a year and a half ago but all I’ve played is like half of Doom Classic. I need to get around to Doom/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 find the soundtrack to be way better.

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)

Nintendo have always been kinda unique though. Triple N games might be more accurate.

Fuck yes it does. That game set a new gold standard for me on video game production quality. Phenomenal game, and is even well optimized.

I fail to see how that question is relevant since this game is a AAAA game /s

I’m surprised that they even thought that they would come even close to outperforming the AAAA battery and even dared to put themselves on the same level as it.

You forgot about the 5th A and the 3 Rs

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.

To me that’s honestly more RDR2. That games amount of detail is pretty staggering.

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?

I think Baldur’s Gate 3 exceeded expectations for many people.

The key word here might be “large-scale” which to me sounds like the production-line games like CoD.

BG3 is large-scale. It’s a AAA game.

God of War Ragnarök and Spider-Man 2 were phenomenal.

Correction Ubisoft said this a quadruple A game.

The fourth A rolled over past the 3 character limit, making it a single A game.
