Just ignore the "triple A" industry and games are usually great. Lots of small passionate studios still pumping out quality stuff.

Seriously. I've been playing Ready or Not, Palworld, and Helldivers 2 lately, and I'm having a great time with gaming.

While "AAA" has lost all meaning: even in that space we have some real bangers already

Yakuza/Like a Dragon 8 is already in the running as one of the all time great JRPGs (and probably a top 50 GOAT in terms of games period). FF7R2 is going to have to REALLY screw up for fans to not feel strongly about it. And Dragon's Dogma 2 is, somehow, showing all signs of actually being faithful to the incredibly weird original. We also might be seeing Elden Ring DLC sooner than later. Tekken 8 seems to be incredibly well received... accessibility aside. That gets us to the end of March (ER has a mysterious youtube entry but it has for weeks so who knows)? Even if nothing else happens this year, that already is a stacked as hell line-up.

Two months in and, gaming wise, 2024 is shaping up really well. Like most years, people see what they want to see. If you want to say things are a flop, there are flops. If you want to say things are awesome, there are some truly amazing games.

I'm so excited for 7 rebirth. And one I've finished that I'll be getting persona 3 reload to replay one of my favourite games. With those two alone and me catching up on some of last year's games, this year is going to be a good one for me.

This is not a triple A game actually. Ubisoft CEO referred it as a four A. AAAA.

To investors who know shit about gaming, not to gamers...maybe he meant the costs which could be in the 4A sector after all this time 😅

More A equals more good

I played the demo for Mouthwashing and it was excellent. Nice little horror game without jump scares that really evokes dread.

The Deep Rock Survivors game is pretty cool too. Lots of neat stuff coming out these days.

[–] AdmiralShat@programming.dev 2 points 9 months ago

Honestly really liking DRG Surviors, and I usually don't like the genre.

Ubisoft also published the best game of the year, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. Best metroidvania game I've played in a long time.

Are they? Because the past few years indie games for me have been nothing but early access underdeveloped bare bones crap.

[–] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Yea I've mainly been focusing on smaller games recently. Last AAA game I bought was Cyberpunk 77, which I enjoyed but was a whole thing. There's so many good indy games coming and going its definitely worth it to look into some of them
