[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 7842623, member: 4348"] I'm not positive what defines a AAA game vs. one that is not, but many times it seems VERY subjective rather than objective. Was BG a AAA game or not, how about BG2. How about NWN? I'd consider those AAA games in retrospect, even if many at the time thought that were lower level tier games that bordered in Indie. Much of this nonsense about what is or is not a AAA game is just that...nonsense these days. So it comes from a major publisher who spent 200 million on it. IF they only make 50 million on that, but the "Indie" developer makes 100 million on their game...which one was actually AAA? It comes down to perception, and if it really is all about painting a perception...I think it's more of a wait and see what comes out of the studio and what they create rather than doing the entire Video Game elitism that some have in trying to define what a AAA game is vs. a Non-AAA game. I'd rather play a ton of Trails of the...games than any of the more recent AAA Final Fantasy games...for example...and to me the Trails games of late have had a LOT more substance and enjoyment than FFXV did for example.
