Are AAA Games Even Trying Anymore?

This video talks about how AAA games have started to feel the same over the past couple years. There's a distinct lack of wanting to compete with games to make the best one in the genre, and we're seeing more companies reuse a formula that is guaranteed to bring in new fans. We're also seeing an increasing trend of remakes, AAA companies shying away from making new IPs, and an oversaturation of open world games. Please stop.
#openworldgames #openworld
I cannot comprehend people getting so hyped over the same games being released Over and over. Why do people excuse these practices. Heck, even Destiny 2 simply brought back D1 raids and called it a day. Why can’t we hold publishers to the expectation to create? To give budgets to risky projects? To give budgets even to safe projects that aren’t their one flagship cash cow? Indies are amazing, but I want dead franchises to be given AAA budgets, indie games with big name publishers and budgets, unique ideas with new IP’s given the light of day. It shouldn’t have to be so celebrated when these things do rarely happen. It should be normal
I never understand why the risky projects seem to get cancelled? There's such a disconnect between developers and fans - we actually want the cancelled game, we don't want your microtransactions though
Because AAA studios only think about money and profit and want to play it safe and most console gamers, especially Play Station gamers are causal gamers who enjoy the same boring movies.
because it's much more profitable for the big corps. as for the hype, u can blame RUclipsrs and streamers who get the game for free and get paid to hype the shit out of it
Man I miss the early ps3 360 days before online popularity and corporate greed turned everything into cut and past crap with little to no innovation. Even the console systems themselves have become cut and paste. I literally call my ps5 a ps3 3.0.
Because gamers pay for it, as soon as COD 500 comes out and the people just don't preorder and wait on it until you get it for $20, then they would learn. As long as they make money, they wont change a thing!
Indie is where the real games are at.
games were made by one or small teams from its golden era
No
Yoh do realize for every good indie game there are 10 bad ones, stop being a nostalgia simp and stop crying, there are tons of games released every year, if cinematic games arent for just pic another of the dozens of different triple A games at your choice, even blind men could see that, so stop being a nostalgia sheep and stop crying kid
@@thefatbob3710 _Go on..._
@@VVVVV99611 good games aren’t made because of a small team there made because of passion
Cyberpunk 2077 is a good example sure the game was buggy ambit the passion behind the game is what made it good
And yes there are shitty indie games, in fact 70% of most indie games are pretty shit and basic.
If you wanna find were the not good but GREAT games se it’s the AA industry not AAA or indie.. but AA
Ghost of tsushima and modern zelda series are the only good open world games nowadays
I know damn well you didn't put Ghost Of Tsushima in the thumbnail, that game was the opposite of boring.
Fr Fr, Ghost of Tsushima was 🔥🔥🔥
just found your channel. this is quality content. subbed
As a AAA developer I can confirm
🤣
Final Fantasy XIV alwsys has successful expansion teleases without massive bugs.
Hogwarts Legacy was released without massive bugs.
Baldur's Gate 3 gets released and has so many bugs that it's almost unplayable. I would not call it a successful launch. I would call it a fail because they knew it wasn't ready. They just didn't care. They wanted the profit. "We dont have to fix the bugs. If the game is interesting enough. People will play it even if it doesn't work!"
That's a fail in my book. BG3 failed.
😂😂😂😂
That intro joke ( toothpick between toenail and finger go me laughing no joke) unique self humor. Bravo.
You wouldn't believe me if I told u i got an assassin's creed ad before this
The algo has once again unexpectedly blessed my feed. Nice video! Lots of good points made.
thank you my friend!
Hey bro, nice video. Put my same thoughts into words perfectly. Keep it up 😊
The loot I pick up and still never use.. I felt that
Sleeping dogs has the issue of collectable stuff, but otherwise is a great game. There's no other game that absolutely nails the feel of 80s/90s Hong Kong cinema.
0:26 You can apply this same argument to the trend of overused platform mascots in the 90s and 2000s and to the overall use of zombie games and first person shooters during the late 2000s and 2010s
Also it makes sense that Natman and Spiderman aren't restricted to linear terrain. If you want a halkway simulator, I recommend final fantasy 10 and 13
Absolute lies.
Solid video dude, can see you being big in the near future
thank you so much!
Dude your channel is going up faster than Musk's rockets, I was LMAO all the way, I follow a lot of gaming channels but yours is very fresh and just awesome, great work bro, keep it up please! Don't stop.
Watching u from Mexico! From Guanajuato actually, featured in Horizon 5 and COD.
much appreciated hermano! Glad to have you on board and I hope to see you around in more comments and polls!
Why do they need to?
You've got a generation on kids pre buying months before release, diehards, those with FOMO who buy deluxe edition, and those who after being disappointed several times with releases, continue to do the same thing over and over and buy the dlcs along the way that are really just the last 30-50% of the game being sold back to you.
Pokémon is a prime example..
No matter how many times the games get worse in quality and quantity, fans will buy Both versions And the dlcs with Pokémon they removed.
Sims 4, a terrible way to sell a game but people bought those 35 dlc packs totalling up to £500 just to have an experience.
Meanwhile, games like: Haven, State of Decay, Powerwash, Road 96, Firewatch, are killing it in quality.
Last triple a game I purchased was RDR2 on a sale.. almost 2yrs ago.
Last game before that, State of Decay 2 in 2018 for £26.
Red dead 2 and Ghost of Tsushima were great though
They really were Don't know why people hate it that much
HEY why is GHOST OF TSUSHIMA in the thumbnail that game is not boring it's entertaining & challenging.
WHAT THE FUCK THIS CHANNEL SHOULD HAVE WAYYY MORE SUBCRBERS FOR THIS QUALITY ... WHAT
The bit with companies fucking up games and Todd Howard going "like this" had me rolling. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
There are so many remakes on production right now that i don't even feel for them at all. Witcher 1, one of my favorite games of all time just announced a remake but i only feel numb about it
Guess it's only indie games for me now, AAA are way too samey for me to spend so much money just to have the same experience over and over again
indies are absolutely exceptional this year! I recently finished tunic and honestly what a game.. Just wish that level of innovation was carried over to the AAA space from time to time
@@barelyfanatical The problem is that you don't understand the business side of video games at all or just don't want to look at it. I get that Indies are lot more creative in terms of their approach to game design but that's because they have very lower budgets but in AAA games budget can range from 100 million to even 400 million dollars and with that risk or any unsure endeavour goes out of the window you have to nail it when such money is at stake. Niche hardcore gaming community lives in bubble the AAA games that you people constantly cribe about are very successful commercially and companies continue to make them simply because if they chose to do what a bunch of nerds living in a bubble say they will face losses. It's the casual audience that makes money not the niche online communities they may generate lots of notice on social media but not money
@@barelyfanatical just think from first principle and open mind that why the gaming industry is the way it is. Why companies priotize certain things over others because there is no point in cribbing about any of these
Very good video, funny narrative, good style of delivery and animations. Keep it up you’ll grow your channel quickly 👌🏻
There should be only trilogies in gaming...after that game developers should move on and create other kind of games spin offs etc
Not how profitability works sadly
God of war did it and it turned out pretty good for them in the end I guess
its funny how insanely wrong you are, there are literally tons of different long running game franchises that have more than 3 main series games that are extremely good, yakuza, GOW, tekken, all of the assassin's creed games that werent made after syndicate, uncharted, resident evil, street fighter too.
If that happened, we wouldn't have Breath of the Wild.
Mario is literally a successful juggernaut with more than three games
YOOO, you showed up on my YT homepage
Ghost of Tushima was amazing though.
the dialougue outside of the khan scenes are boring and the fact that there's a cutscene for almost every sinmgle action in the game other than fioghting is silly and you cant even skip them...
When I was a kid the closest thing to open world for me was Fallout, Baldur's Gate, Torment and JRPGs. I've played a few that have stuck out as really fun or constantly engaging. Sadly these games underperformed because COD, Battilefield and Fortnite dominating attention and what sold from the open world parts are still getting made like Assassin's Creed over and over and over...
I like how you are trying to teach the marketing people in games how to make games better as if that's their goal.
Truth is, ratings don't matter anymore. Its the money, they need power. Their agenda has a deeper rabbit whole than you imagine.
Its sad that players in games are now victims to the greed of behemoths. Indie games are our only hope left.
While I agree it’s funny you said “look what happens when a Japanese developer gets involved” yet showed the worst game I’ve ever played
That's what I mean - when a Japanese developer gets involved with trying out the same open world formula, the game comes out pretty shit - ghostwire tokyo in this case
@@barelyfanatical Oh sorry my bad I took it as you saying we needed Japanese developers to help AAA devs or something. Anyway you earned a subscriber 👍
@@platonymous thank you my friend!
its so depressing that every game genre gets an average of 1 good AAA game yearly
Mostly by Nintendo.
@jbhoy4953
What depresses me is that indie games keep taking calculated risks and turn out good products as a result yet many don't want to play them because they're not Triple A titles.
@@DemonicRemptionNot really true. Indie games are popping off harder than triple A games on steam in the last 5-6 years. They also retain players for longer as well.
Amazing video! Currently playing Horizon zero dawn I know I'm way behind 💀
Bro tried to sneak in Dayz Gone Peak
Peak Ass
The problem with opwn world games that arent made by rockstar is that the world feels dead and predictable. Rockstar spend so much time leaning into the details of their open world that it is actually fun to explore and engage said worlds.
Other companies miss the mark and go for quantity over quality which ends up being a boring gameplay loop in a boring setting.
the toothpick and toe got me clenching my foot for the whole video
yooooo, this content is fire! - love your voice.
You had me at, and knuckles. Ha
I see your points and I can't speak in live service games or Fps games since I'm not familiar with them but I have to disagree that open world games are the same because it is true that open world games have similar elements such as a map and traversal but those are made a necessity for navigation throughout the world in order to explore because not having those elements would make the games fundamentally flawed, as an example most 2D fighting games have similar elements like motion inputs, back dashing, damage scaling, and special moves which are a necessity for these games to play well but if they are removed they will cripple the gameplay because they are fundamentals factors for the genre which shows that it isn't a copy throughout each version but a pivotal part of the gameplay design for these games.
We see a large number of open world games have their own distinguished combat and traversal such as Spider Man, Batman Arkham Knight, and Ghost of Tsushima which are all distinct from each other due to the combat of Spider Man and Batman following a sense of free flow even though both are distinct in their own way while Ghost of Tsushima is about precise parrying and attacks.
I don't see a problem with sequels and remakes because they give the opportunity for developers to improve on the mechanics of the first game or bring a beloved game back with new graphics while also fans wanting to see these things also and using the example of us Dragon Ball fans wanting a remake of the Tenkaichi games that we loved growing up, a rerelease if Marvel vs Capcom 2, and fans looking forward to Ghost of Tsushima 2 which are just a few examples of fans wanting sequels and remakes to their franchises.
i really don't want a Ghost of Tsushima 2. the original is my fav game of all time, and the reason i don't want a sequel is that i just don't know where the story would go. i'm sure the gameplay and graphics will be spectacular, but one of the reasons i love the original is its incredible narrative, and i just don't know where it could go.
The point he's trying to say is most open world games either are way too big and just copy breath of the wild most of the time. He also states how sequels are a good thing but not to the extent of 6+ games which just ruins the experience
@@killdude4287 I see what you're saying but I don't agree because even though open worlds follow a pattern, they are all distinct and offer their own elements that make them unique such as Elden Ring, Ghost of Tsushima, Spider Man, and Batman.
A sequel should build on the foundation of what the first game had or improve on the flaws of the first game but if developers just try to build another foundation for a sequel in order to innovate it could lead to a lack of consistency or possibly discouraging fans who loved the mechanics of the first game which has been a problem for the Sonic franchise due to them having a great foundation that fans could enjoy but would drastically change things which would oftentimes leave fans confused or disappointed.
Yep. Stale industry.
I really enjoy both Horizon games, but why the hell do we need a remaster? The first game still looks fine. All I really care about is that they port Forbidden West to PC so I can play on my Steam Deck.
That HZD remake is insanity
it always blown my mind how indie game teams full of like 6 - 20 people make much better games than most MILLION DOLLAR companies. Like, deep rock galactic was made by like 20 people or smth and is one of the BEST coop games ever made and is also one of the top rated games on steam
Indie developers are incredible and indie titles in the last 5 to 6 years have absolutely been on fire with new and fresh ideas. Honestly, every time you think you've played something before, you're surprised with how unique these titles can get. This year alone cupheads dlc, stray, sifu, cardshark, cult of the lamb and tunic just off the top of my head have been fantastic!
Deep rock is also a blast to play! It's amazing how much these guys can accomplish with such little resources. The value you get for what you're paying is fantastic.
That is completely wrong lmao for each good indie there are atleast 20 completely garbage ones a ton of indie games have the same gameplay and most of them are just platformers lmao
@@ahmedmlg45 This. There's a couple brilliant indies, like Tormented Souls or Assault Spy... but fot every one of those there's 100 uninspired 2D platformers. And don't get me wrong, Cuphead or Astlibra Revision are amazing sidescrollers but there's tons of others that are either mediocre or plain bad. That said one thing I'll always respect about indies, most of them price their games right.
That's because they don't have to deal with major gaming companies being too focused on monetization at the expense of the players and having the constant need to be bigger and BIGGER to perpetuate the "infinite growth" mindset that leads to forcing developers to work on games with unrealistically high expectations on a tight deadline while also dealing with executive meddling that more often than not ends up derailing the already shaky project.
You got the right answer: Indie games! Be on the lookout for good indie games! If there's a good AAA game, don't worry, you'll hear about it without even trying and you can play that whenever you want. That's right, you don't have to play it the first week it comes out. It'll be patched and fixed and a better game if you accidentally wait a year to play it.
Scale bound will always be a sore spot 😢
The only thing worse than the AAA gaming industry is the online gaming community, one of the most toxic and juvenile communities on the internet, it's the only community who openly lie just to tear down some of the best and most unique games over something that has nothing to do with the game or over something stupid they disagree with, 98% of the game could be perfect but just because of something like a indie game or pixel graphics or something else stupid they tear it down like it's the worst game ever, when I don't like a game I just ignore it because it doesn't effect me but this toxic community gets pleasure out of tearing down near perfect games, if a game isn't for you just move and talk about something you do like, your negativity is often ill informed and just plain wrong
I agree with everything you said. You might have a similar taste in video games like I do. Could you recommend games from the last 10 years? My fav games are Super Metroid, Zelda alttp, Half Life 2 + Portals. More modern games I enjoyed: Hollow Knight (aweeesome), Ori 1+2, God of War (2018) and Zelda botw.
It's a very very excessive list for me to put out in a single comment 😅
Do take a look at some of the games I praise a lot in this video and the one about value for money! some of my favourite games of all time include Breath of the wild, super mario odyssey, God of war (2018 as well!), Nier Automata, Persona 5, Souls games (Bloodborne, Sekiro, DS3 and Elden ring are exceptional), Resident evil games (Re2 remake, re4, re8), Monster Hunter games (world and iceborne most recently, freedom unite way before that).
I also play a looottttt of Nintendo games!
Notable indie games: Hollow knight, Undertale, Ori, Tunic, Inscryption, Slay the spire, Celeste, Cuphead just to name a few!
I'll try to cover a lot more of these games in future videos, and at the end of the year I'll put out my favourite games for the 2022! Stick around my friend! :D
Play RDR2. The greatest open world game ever made.
@@crazycowpoke Tried, it is for sure a good game. But the actual GAMEPLAY feels so clunky (both movement and gunplay), I can not force myself to play that just for the story and atmosphere. The gameplay has to be good, as that is what distinguishes games from other media like movies.
@@crazycowpoke has a good story but the open world is exactly like any other AAA game
@@p00l47 not even close pal
holy crap, i found my new favorite youtuber
Another day, another boring sony movie game released that is 70% cutscenes. I just want to play as spiderman, let me play spiderman for fuck's sake.
So to make your "point" you used 3 really good, and fun games in you thumbnail...that don't make sense.
they are good and fun, but after a while you get bored.
@@sean4559 That's debatable. These 3 games are open world, but they do not play similarly. It would make more sense to get bored get bored the Yakuza or dynasty Warriors series since they're very similar and the tedium can be felt.
The bar is being set higher and higher. Games that are now considered mediocre would have been revolutionary twenty years ago. Maybe you should quit gaming for a while, it sounds like you had too much.
Outer Wilds absolutely blew my mind and even though i often found it frustrating it rekindled my love for games as a medium.
I recently got Days Gone and Deus Ex (2000) around at the same time
Guess which one had me playing for hours..
This video deserves more views. Bravo sor.
Ahahaha, glad I saw Horizon popping up when you were talking about mediocre writing in open world games. Feels like the dialogue in that game was written by highschoolers. I find the premise of the universe very intriguing, but the dialogue just makes me cringe sometimes.
Like I remember this dialogue Alloy wss having with a guy, and the guy was like "so you had over protective parents, huh?". Yea dude, these people live in tribes and need to scavange and hunt daily in order to survive, I'm sure they can totally relate to a concept such as "over protective parents".
The setting is really cool but the dialogue is just so immersion breaking.
I feel like the big thing that separates these open worlds is the setting. Horizon and its giant robots and symbiotic machine interaction, ghost of tsushima with its incredible landscape and beautiful setting, days gone with hordes of zombies and so many more open world games with amazing potential but they all fall flat for the same reason - the world doesn't benefit from being open world.
The writing often times is so bland and because the game is open world you can't make everything top tier in terms of written content. Aloy speaking to herself is so incredibly annoying xd I thought horizon zero dawn was half decent - a solid game but could have used so much refinement. After all the trailers and promos, I genuinely thought forbidden west would be the breath of the wild for Sony but it was just another 'hold my hand through the whole game' open world.
Apart from the fantastic machines and engagements, everything is just plain boring.
the setting really is great! but the biggest gripes I have are how all the immersion is killed by the writing - as you mentioned - and the constant marking of robots on the mini map. I know you can probably turn it off, but by default you should have that sense of 'holy shit what is that' when you encounter something that looks incredibly cool instead of being told 'oh yeah the slaughterspine is here btw'.
@@barelyfanaticalhen you look at Trepang2. It is have been inspired by the F. E.A.R game.
The solution is simple. You want triple A games to be better? Stop playing them. Apathy is the industry's worst fear. It forces them to make things that are above the bar that will keep people hooked. In the meantime we need to support indie titles that put love and care into good games
Like 5 years ago everyone was saying how hollywood is just gonna make superhero movies cause they make more mone but in last year or two every superhero movie floped. I hope something like this is gonna happen with games
loves your video man
Honestly people complaining about AAA games are just as tiring, there are alot of good AAA games out there like Batman trilogy.
@@yugyt2979 you might need to read it again my friend
I still love AAA games
Days gone is actually a really good game story wise and does a beautiful job of depicting loss and Oregon state in a beautiful way, same with Sleeping dogs taking a crazy and fresh spin on gta with a lack of gun use and genuinely a copy cat of one of the best combat systems in gaming, the Arkham games combat system. the story is also pretty interesting and the main character is conflicted and relatable.
Graphics sir. Historically it all goes back to Hd and how much more expensive games got so developers stopped taking chances like they used to. That and all the easy points ppl discuss all the time about live service, loot boxes; remakes, blatant copying for success- all goes back to Hd and then 4k and graphics and the cost to take chances. For all the videos I've watched with these modern gaming complaints - I feel it's important for you RUclips generation of kids to know why the industry got where it is now. Look at how many more developers we had before HD 360/ps3 hit- and that was the beginning of the end and originality and creativity (innovation) became a $ risk where it wasn't back in ps1/ps2 days. As you mentioned older games that innovated (Doom, Mario) that's why because back in the 90s and 00s developers could take risks and not bankrupt themselves.
Good video I enjoyed it- but remember the nuances and subtle points also especially the ones that explain why everything is the way it is now.
Recipe for having fun in gaming:
20 % AAA games
80 % indie games
Me playing strategy game…😂😂😂
The main issue with a good few of these triple a studios have is that they focus more on getting the games out asap instead of actually working on them and polishing them. While i dont speak for everyone,i would prefer waiting for a good game to come out more than a rushed one with bugs.
What's the game at 1:25?
Nier Automata
this channel is highly underrated
this video kinda has like a dunkey vibe to it very nice video indies is were its at
My eyes are open! It was amazing!
the algorithm gods have blessed you
thank u algorithm gods
Even R* is consistent (if we forget about GTA Trilogy DE).
As much as I love RDR2, we're quickly approaching the point where that's the only game R* have made in the last decade - GTA V was in 2013! That's crazy to think about..
Gta definitive edition is actually made and developed by Grove Street Games and it's published by rockstar games.
My problem with modern video games is that there's no variety.
Everything is a 60 hour dark medieval fantasy RPG, and I just feel like I keep playing the same game over and over
i know this might be a surprise to you but...theres other genres besides rpg
5:38 it hurts
Why u don’t speak about ghost of tsushima 🤦♂️ 5 min gameplay 10 min cinamatic without skip
I used to think I was just getting older, I used to think I just didn't enjoy gaming anymore. Then I went back to play games on my ps3 and I've had way more fun than any of the trash I've played the past 4 years released in this garbage industry now
At this point I’m just done with open world games. They’re the same game with a slightly cool “gimmick”
absolutely agreed! it's usually the setting that changes (horizon with robots, ghost of tsushima with a feudal japan setting, etc) with no emphasis on actually exploring the world! I would want to discover cool new shit..
Why does bro think he's smarter than the entire gaming industry?
I don't like taking risks in game , this is why I stopped playing BG3. There must not be too many options to choose from and even if there wil be player must emotionally be invested it in it. Not everthing must be game changing.
From Software is obviously a top tier development team. Their last 5 games Bloodborne, Dark Souls 3, Sekiro(goty),Elden Ring(goty) and Armored Core 6. They are only improving over time. Now that they have financial growth from Elden Ring they are increasing their game output. This is definitely the most important moment to stay on point with quality and ethics, but over the lady decade they've become respected like the old Blizzard.
I respect fromsoft but respectfully their games are boring as shit.
i need a paper bag 😢
Final fantasy 7 rebirth is the only game I’m genuinely hyped for, and somewhat excited for Spiderman 2. Nothing else.
Dude, seriously!?
You are kinda right, but still biased.
The new God of Wars and Spiderman are as generic as the other games you mentioned.
Resident Evil and Final Fantasy 7 remakes took everything that made this games unique out, and put a lot of overused elements in it.
And Im saying that as a big fan of all of those franchises.
depressing subject, very funny delivery, well done mate :) They should all employ you for their boardroom meetings !
I honestly don't get why people still buy newer games which are bad instead of buying the old one which are good
The fact that people continue pre ordering shitty unfinished products despite it happening like a million times is laughable
This is the problem for people who have played a lot of games- to the point that everything seems repetitive to them despite it being a new game.
I mean I know they are a lot of bad reviews of the game called Ghost of Tsushima, but I really enjoyed it - after playing few open world games. -
AAA companies gaslight
Wow... 589 subs only? Everyone needs to know this channel... SUBCRIBE!
How is i that 5 people can put out a game in a few years but AAA developers take 10 yrs to release trash?
Hey! Not every game is like that.
I remember time when games were hilarious, wild, focussed on gameplay instead of only graphics, stories were meaningful or twisted.
Now it feels like that there isjust too many games already, all stories has been already told... political correctness and woke agendas has invaded even gaming indutries and only thing game developers think is how to make extra bucks... so they sell unfinished games and add costly dlcs and season passes later.
There is few exceptions but mostly that's how it is today. And u are right those exceptions are mostly Indie game developers and games.
here's a history of laziness cycles in the industry.
"so many sequels"
"do something else than MMOs"
"do something else than Deathmatch"
"do something else than run and gun"
"do something else than WW2"
"do something else than post 2000s warfare"
"do something else than the future"
"do something else than Open Worlds"
"do something else than Battle Royales"
"do something else than Tac Shooter"
"do something better than an unfinished game"
-------------------------------------------
the future
"do something else than Realism shooter"
"do something else than VR"
"do something else than simulate our entire lives twice"
The resident evil games are still good. 8 and the 4 remake are still fire, considering they're the 8th/9th sequel
If you have been playing since the ‘90s you’ve probably played every incantation of game there is. Half-Life was cutting edge when it came out and a decade later Halo came out and a new generation of gamers were shrieking “this is the best game ever” while I’m thinking this is derivative of Half-Life and not as good. If the first open world game you play is Horizon Forbidden West you are going to think it’s the best game ever, while those who played Horizon Zero Dawn are “well that’s more of the same, I’ll buy something else instead”. Style of game is limited innovation is what is required not churning out the same game over and over again.
Hate games that have more dialogue than gameplay just make a fucking movie at this point 😒😒
I hate dialogue too , one of the reasons I like soulsborne and fighting games. You get right into the action without getting interrupted by 5+ minutes cutscenes.
They are fun.
Also almost no game is with flawless feel. Missions and story feels so pressed and doesn't go with game world. Now I find myself not finishing stories on any game :D (Horizon, Ghost Recon Wildlands, Far Cry 6, Assassin's Creed (actually very nice games, just after finishing 2 (Brotherhood and Odyssey) and Origins, Valhalla and Syndicate is left half played. Definition of "REPETITIVE") and even Witcher) I wouldn't say that they're bad games, but just eating same soup for entire week, it gets boring and even starts tasting like sh*t. Now best games to play are survival games (The Forest, Sons of the Forest, Green Hell, Windbound, Subnautica/Below Zero) which feel a lot more immersive and games like S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Metro (2033, Last Light, Exodus) and maybe RockStar games just cuz how polished they feel (Not the Remastered Trilogy).
And I'd love to see Call of Duty/Battlefield games in different style. After playing Bad Company, 1st / Modern Warfare 1,2, Advanced Warfare.. it's just too much.
Foe me ps2 era peaked the golden era of gaming...titles like re4, gow 1, gow 2 , just fantastic
Damn, pve overwatch would've been fire! Allas... MONEY
I think I realize one of the reasons why the only AAA games I enjoy is from Valve. Because they don't milk their games too much, hence they don't ruin the franchise.
I agree because they got steam and don’t have to milk their games
I agree with your overall argument. Resi evil remakes are garbage. Fall gameplay was always bad. Only the characters and interactions made it fun.
Everything's soulless... becoming to be.
You should not have put sleeping dogs on the pile of boring Open world games since that game actually has personality and deserved a sequel.
Where can you find a open world game with such a good hand to hand combat?
TBH I don’t feel like AAA games ever tried.
