AAA, Triple A video games, whatever you wanna call it have become a slowly disappearing thing after being so wildly mainstream for a while. Be it on your Xboxes, Playstations, Nintendo Switches (if you wanna call that AAA), these big fancy expensive money eating multi-year productions were a huge part of the entire culture. You go to e3, you see the thing, you enter the hype machine, you maybe pre-order, who knows.

    HOWDY. This here's a pilot to see if the concept is something y'all are into. I haven't really gone into modern or at this point "Retro" AAA games yet, and you know this channels old and crusty now so I wanna see what works! Lemme know if you want to see me do more deep dives into bigger AAA games and also any specific ones you think I should highlight.

    Also try Bionic Commando. It's like 2 dollars on steam during sales, it's better than you've been told! A perfect 6.5. Just like Sonic Frontiers.

    Even though the AAA mentality still exists and permeates I feel like indies and smaller games are more important than they've ever been.
    (Especially now with the first party stuff beginning to stagnate)
    Still I miss the mid-tier stuff from the PS2 and PS360 days. That's really gone the way of the dodo, oh well.

    Jade empire was amazing but the voiceover was bland. I don't know if BioWare did the voice acting themselves but it wouldn't surprise me.

  7. Sinmenon

    Fun fact: Murdered Soul Suspect wasn't supposed to have combat or anything like that at all. Just the investigation and chill. The wraith encounters were mandated.

    I love Binary Domain. The whole more Japanese Gears of War thing is totally resonating with me really well. Plus you can actually feel that it's an RGG game. It's a shame I never even heard about it until I looked up what else they made besides Yakuza in 2020 or 2021.
    Also, if we're talking about 007 licensed games from the 7th gen, Bloodstone is actually really good. But that one ended up being the last game Bizarre Creations ever made, which makes me sad when I think about it.

    Binary domain and Bionic Commando went under the radar so hard man. Some of the best bargain bin purchases I’ve ever made.

    One thing that they would never consider during these times would be, " who would get offended by what we make? ".

    I forgot all about Lost Odyssey. I don't think I ever made it to the second disc, but really had a good time with it. The active ring thing during battles was super unique.

    This has been a fun video to take a look back at some games I haven't thought of in years.

    I grew up in the 6th & 7th Gen era of gaming.
    To me, the PS2 era was the last era that every
    AAA company took risks.
    Early 7th Gen was okay ; but by 2013 to onward,
    AAA gaming hasn't been as what it once was.

    The 007 Legends cover art is always such whiplash cause yeah that's just… ass. Just straight up full woman ass on the front cover of this T rated game.

    I'll die on the hill that Bionic commando reboot was good, and you'll fight at my side austin. LETS GO.

    The concept of Triple A came into being during the 7th generation that is very true. I think the idea behind Triple A was when the video games industry tried to be just like the movie industry. A trend had developed that wanted to expand and increase marketing reach so they wanted to emulate the movie type of marketing. Instead of a term blockbuster the term triple AAA became the popular term. Before the 7th generation sure marketing was important to video games but the only difference is by the 7th generation it wanted to emulate the movie industry that's why this term was useful.

    bionic commando had one of the most fun online multiplayer ive ever played. so sad the servers went quiet not long after its release. the game itself had a weak story but game play wise it was tons of fun
