Helldivers 2 had zero advertising that I saw and it slaps.

Cyberpunk might have actually delivered on its promises if they spent half of their advertising budget on the dev team instead of billboards.

It has a seemingly active community on Lemmy of all places, their posts frequently show up in my feed. What triple A game has this? Although I'm not interested in it too and they banned my country for a reason, I'm guilty in looking how to buy it.

No current AAA games have this on lemmy because of late they are all one or more of:

-Massively Overhyped Flop

-No Lasting/Enduring Replayability

-Insufferable Gacha/Microtransactions

-Hugely Popular, But Basically Only Played By Rabid Children/ManChildren w/ Multiple Psychological Disorders

BG3? But it's an exclusion in many, many ways.

[–] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 months ago

Yeah, it is a rare exception, though I would argue it is not really a AAA game, more AA.

True, it did have a huge budget and a large staff, but AAA games have even larger budgets, even larger staffs, and often shorter development times.
