Way too many SE games on game pass. I wonder if that’s a sign of something.
-
It would have been if the delineated total cost difference between AA and AAA was clearly stated. Neither that post or any of us here have a definitive answer. It’s all opinions. Still, fun discussion
-
But this is the internet..
-
This whole thread is just people opinionating anyway. Let's not take ourselves too seriously
-
Curious, but do you think Bulletstorm was a AAA title?
-
Sounds cool

Microsoft acquires Bethesda Softworks

But you were literally just asking how people who sink 100s of hours into RPGs (90% of which have janky mechanics) can dislike RDR2's gameplay. Unless you were only comparing the janky mechanics? /throws hands up -

I think you may have zeroed in on it there. Maybe there's aren't enough numbers ticking up or visible systems to manipulate for it to appeal to traditional RPG gamers. -
There are degrees to everything, though. Expensive is a blanket term, and not every game has the same budget. Which is why you had a lot of AA games in the older console generations. The market was more diverse and not loaded with blockbuster-or-bust with nothing-in-between titles. So an Outriders would be AA, whereas Avengers would be AAA from that point-of-view. Edit: Also, what's with the aggression? Calm it

Yea... It's tough to just go by retail MSRP. SE's Avengers game on the other hand was more AAA than this one. It was their biggest western-studio developed game, plus they threw a lot of money at that thing too. Cyberpunk too. Both failed the quality test, but they had both the budget and public profile to be categorized AAA.
-
I don't think that's enough, tbh. If you're looking at budget, importance in the publishers' lineup, and overall quality, true AAA would be the likes of RDR2, GTAV, TLOU2, GoT, GoW, etc. I don't think Outriders even comes close to those games. It's probably second rung on SE's own release list/calendar.
-
Agreed. Selfishly, and as a subscriber to both, I don't really want overlap. The problem is there's such a limited pool of good content to pick from. If not this, then what.
-
Yea, critics cut Disney content a lot of slack. I don't think the Blade Runner scores are bad per se, but it's more that the Black Panther score is higher than it should be. Also, I wouldn't consider the the OG Blade Runner rating at all. Sourcing legit reviews for that old a movie can't be easy.
-
Not sure if I'd call Outriders AAA
-
Yea, I wonder if the price MS is paying is low given the overall quality of the game. SE has been making some really bad bets of late.

Here's the Kotaku/AV Club review: https://film.avclub.com/the-snyder-cut-is-a-much-longer-justice-league-but-not-1846466321 I'll still watch it, though
-
Yea, especially for the more mainstream movies. It's easy to pad reviews when it's all public, just like fanboys spamming negative user scores on Metacritic. It gets a bit better if you go by the "helpful/not helpful" vote count under reviews. IMDB works really well for more niche movies though, from my experience at least. You won't see a lot of reviews for those anyway, and those that are there are mostly well written.
-
RT is alright, but they aggregate a LOT of websites. I think Metacritic has certain criteria that need to met before you can get listed, so it's a more curated list.
-
Yea, early reviews and all that. Never underestimate the politeness of reviewers True, but that's why you look at the overall score. It's a decent indicator :\ I think Wonder Woman ended at 60 on Metacritic after the initial high scores. And 60 is still way too high for that movie
-
Have you chaps seen the reviews? We might be in for another WW84, except 4 hours long https://www.metacritic.com/movie/zack-snyders-justice-league/critic-reviews

Royalties, re-releases. maybe revenue-share from the Rocketman movie. Both him and his partner were co-producers, I think.
-
I need to boot this (and the SotC remake) back up on the PS5. RIP Japan Studio
-
That, and no one really wants one
-
People have interesting tastes. I saw that you thought BvS was a good movie

So apparently John Romero’s empire of sin is coming to game pass. https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2021-03-12-mobster-management-sim-empire-of-sin-is-heading-to-game-pass-next-week
