It's a terrible AAA game, but it was AAA in terms of budget, ambition, team-size and polish.You're just proving my point by continuing to not understand!No, absolutely not.That's absolutely completely fatuous and factually wrong perspective.By that logic, Undertale is AAA, Spelunky is AAA, Papers Please is AAA.That's just beyond words. That's like saying The Blair Witch Project was a "big budget movie".No. Closer to true but still wrong.Again, you just keep getting basic stuff wrong here. It's like you're doing it on purpose. In 2015 that was actually a mid budget AAA.Yes it is. You're just flatly wrong.Anthem is a great example. Fallout 76 is another example. Battlefield 2042 yet another. Marvel's Avengers another one. Those are just recent examples of AAAs that were absolute trash on release. With Fallout 76 it was a big deal to Bethesda so they eventually managed to patch and give away free content enough that it became an okay game instead of trash. BF2042 the jury is still out but it ain't looking good. Marvel's Avengers they've tried to do that, but... nah mate.The classic example of a terrible AAA is Lair, which was a game Sony invested huge amounts in, hoping it to super next-gen in 2007 and sell tons of PS3s, but... it was absolutely dire. We could look at other stuff too, like APB or Mass Effect: Andromeda, but I've made my point, and this is just a derail at this stage.You're intentionally misusing the term to mean "good game", which it never has and never will.</blockquote>
