You're the same as me — I only play AAA games. I find they're the ones that offer the most in terms of pushing the boundaries of consoles can do etc.
Smaller budgets can lead to innovation through necessity. I do not agree that bigger budgets always make something better.As usual this thread basically just ended up being people telling us they find AAA games boring/too mainstream and they only find unique games with small budgets appealing. According to this thread you'd think every AAA game is basically Ghost Recon Wildlands. There's obviously a lot of derivative ones but at the end of the day it's better to have more money and resources put into something as long as you have the right developer.
if anything this thread is more like genre preferences. If you like shooters or open world games you sure as hell prefer "AAA" budgets.

You played Death Stranding yet? I figure you might gel with it.This thread made me realize that the only AAA game I bought in 2019 was RE2, lol.
while doing the least in terms of pushing the boundaries of what game design can do.You're the same as me — I only play AAA games. I find they're the ones that offer the most in terms of pushing the boundaries of consoles can do etc.
Beautiful? No doubt they are. Realistic? No they aren't.I think most people on this forum think the same as you. I love every style of game, but i do think that AAA is being really conservative and samey nowadays.
Most independent games these days are beatiful.

And I thought it was a good year for triple a I bought three full price day 1 (RE2, Sekiro, Death Stranding) and all three are excellent beyond my hands not being able to handle Sekiro.
There are one man made games that are better than games made by hundreds of people. This is kind of meaningless to me, personally speaking.

Of course but the odds are with the 200 people who make games with way bigger production values. I mean an indie game could be a side quest for those games.There are one man made games that are better than games made by hundreds of people. This is kind of meaningless to me, personally speaking.
Yeah, it's a fact that we never get a proper AAA RPG anymore these days. Even The Witcher 3, as much as I adore it, is not as depth as what we usually call RPGs back then.In RPG's for example, a lot of smaller / mid sized budget games just have straight up better mechanics/stories than the mass market stuff. And that's not a genre that's underserved by big publishers.
There's also a higher likelyhood of discovering new stuff in small games. AAA games tend to be way more conservative in their approach. If you've been playing games for a while, the established genre conventions can look stale just by virtue of them being around for so long.
I'm not of the opinion that AAA stuff is all crap though, i have the franchises i like.
No nothing offensive, your just one of the posters who's opinions I listen too and I forgot your PC, I do look forward to seeing what you think of it.I'm waiting on Death Stranding PC as I don't own any consoles. It's my most-anticipated upcoming AAA title by a pretty wide margin.
Hope my comment didn't come off as being snobby or anything. I just gel better with the AA/indie scene.
Still, I do dabble with the AAA titles now and again. REALLY enjoyed Doom 2016, Hitman 1 & 2 and Fallout 4 from years past.
And will be all over Death Stranding, Cyberpunk and Doom Eternal in 2020.
I mean, there's a data.I don't know. Think that with a forum with this many users there's probably no clear majority.
