Indie devs keep winning. I can't really remember the last time I played a really good AAA game. Mid maybe, but not good.

    TotK is a great game. And I've heard Baldur's Gate 3 was excellent although can't play it until I've got myself a new computer. I think they'd probably count?

    BG3 is in a strange sort of limbo. It's self-published, was partly crowdfunded, but is AAA in scope and polish.

    Every single game Larian made would come out on steam in early access, and always with an early access price. When BG3 hit early access with a released game price I was pissed. But then I found out that they were making a game with Wizards of the Coast those greedy fuckers so the price made sense. Still waited almost a year after it was released to buy it, because the released game price was higher than every other fully released Larian game. Fuck WotC and Fuck Hasbro.

    I'm playing prey at the moment, I think that was considered AAA? Anyway, I'm enjoying it a lot. But yeah, generally I agree with you. Also, I never buy them on release, only a few years later on sale. Way too expensive otherwise, it's refreshing to see a game come out at an affordable price.

    Prey would be double A, I feel? I quite liked Resident Evil 4 remake, which should be AAA

    Ah fair enough. Yeah I've not played much resident evil, just a bit of 7, but I'm told 4 is good. I'm catching up on a twenty year gaming gap!

    I've also been playing cyberpunk, and I'd say that's definitely AAA. But TBF I bought it in a recent sale, and while I'm really enjoying it I understand it was a buggy mess on release. I can't see myself ever buying a AAA title until it's had a couple of years to get updated and the price reduced. Plus there's so much AA stuff that's excellent.
