Some Games are full of quality like Ravenswatch and some are just the absoute minimum and still selling like Mirrage. Nothing changes..its just name switches...Blizzard will go down more over time, but someone will replace, if u watch the market u realize fast, theres only that ONE playerbase. Thats why u cant bring out 2 similar games at the same time...

@@lordlopikong6940 Or do what a whole lot of JRPG publishers do. Just make add-on's like funny hats, clothes, ride-along, background music, bath suits and so on. All stuff that does not influence the game play at all, but are just fun things (and mostly for prices like $0,99 or so). Some times they have a small expansion for a single character that includes a new area for cheap. But that's always a few months after the release of the (full) game. In game monetization, however, is never OK with me. No matter what the circumstances. And that goes especially for single player games. Monetization does NOT belong in a game you payed full price for. That's unforgivable, period!

At around 5 minutes in you described the concept of enshitification. The reason why this tactic will end up destroying gaming companies in particular (compared to companies like Netflix, or social media companies) is because of CHOICE. The barrier to making excellent video games is lower than ever. Gamers can see incredibly unique games made by small studios. They don’t HAVE to buy triple A games just like they HAVE to use Uber to take a trip or use KZitem to watch videos.

I always say this! People are too quick to hype up Black Flag because of the Pirate Nostalgia goggles. I actually think it’s a worse assassins creed game than the ezio games that came before it. Gamers are too easily satisfied by big empty open worlds and semi new game mechanics that make them completely forget what game they’re playing… Assassins Creed! And in Black Flag the assassins took a back seat… the beginning of AC’s downfall that would lead to the shitty RPG assassins creed games we see today. I’m very vocal about this, I am not a fan of the RPG assassins creeds. That isn’t to say I dislike RPGs, but other games do it better and these past 2 assassins creed games had terrible stories (Origins was actually pretty good). Assassins creed died with Desmond Miles.

I don't think triple AAA games are making a comeback. More like, indie games and AA games (with online mode) are taking over the entire triple AAA industry. Nintendo on the other hand of the side is a little bit different than any other triple AAA games. I know, Nintendo has a elephant in the room. While Nintendo has greedy similarities to Disney and the other triple AAA companies, thank God the games that Nintendo makes is nowhere near hot garbage as Disney and the other triple AAA companies. God, I hope the developers of Nintendo (including the developers of Splatoon) decides to start making awesome games again without any deadlines like how they did with Super Mario Brothers Wonder. Speaking of "Indie game", thank God, I'm becoming a indie game developer, and I can't wait to start making awesome, bad-ass/edgy games in the future!

I like to feel optimistic over indies and AA, however we must also remember that all of these people are still human and capable of committing the same mistakes as the AAAs. Remember that the AAAs of today were the indies if the past. A great example to how we should all remain skeptical and wary of the AA and indies is games like A Plague Tale Requiem, a boring and poorly written sequel to a great game that was charged for fifty dollars (without considering the useless cosmetic pack) and came out in a buggy state upon release. A sequel that sacrificed everything that made the first game special, nuanced, fun and lovable in pursuit of a more commercial, movie like AAA style. Ten, twenty years from now Asobo Studio will be in the exact same spot as Naughty Dogs today, and Larian Studio will be the next EA. Mark my words.

While it really does feel like the old dogs of AAA studios have given the space for the new AAA generation, some of the older companies keep on delivering on high quality big budget games. SE has recently released Final Fantasy VII Rebirth which feels like has dropped under the radar in the wider gaming community outside of the designated communities. In a time when AAA call their games AAAA and focus on cash shops and live service first - fun and gameplay later, SE has been consistently giving out high quality games while still retaining the identity and fun aspects of the titles they release. FF7R feels like a behemoth of a title with a lot of content which consistently freshens up the experience and doesn't feel repetitive, and the most important aspect - It's always adding new mechanics FROM START TO FINISH. The amount of content which can actually be delivered separately in a nice DLC package by standards of some other companies - Here it just doesn't happen! The game retains the classic feeling of a complete experience, no DLCs, no P2W paywalls, no cashgrabs. Same thing can be said about 2023's FF16 - While it's a more linear experience, it's a closed story and a straightforward game, which recently has had its last DLC released. Both DLCs for this game are by no means a detriment for the base game, but they add enough new content to extend the players' enjoyment in the title and give the ability to re-experience the title in a new way in the fun gameplay sense, and some added lore which adds more to the intrigue of the world building. Even some of SEs AA titles which cater to way smaller audiences in the SRPG (Triangle Strategy), dungeon crawler (Dungeon Encounters) and JRPG/ARPG (Octopath Traveler duology/ NEO: The World Ends With You) genres have the level of polish and care that other AAA studios do no want to provide. But the titles suffer from either little exposure or not enough marketing (I'm not knowledgeable enough) which really hurts the games and the company in the long run.

I love and miss gaming up until the 360 era so much. The 90's-00's is pretty much peak gaming. Timeless games don't need hyper realistic graphics. Some of the best games have unique art styles, unique damage effects, smaller more interactive environments, destructible objects, physics like effects or funny cartoonish or absurd type of effects. Anytime i say this someone in the comments always says: "umm well we have indie games" but my point is we need this kind of game selection on CONSOLES as well. PC's have steam & tons of access to a unique library of creative projects. Look at the Game Library of the most recent game consoles? Now look at previous generation consoles? There's no competition. It's not even close to the PS2, N64, PS1, Xbox, GameCube, Dreamcast, 360, PS3, etc. If game devs & game companies realize they are wasting such insane amounts of $ & time to make a game that still runs so terribly (no matter if u have the best PC possible. Which proves it's how these games were made. Not the tech hardware needing a upgrade. I bet we haven't even come close to pushing modern hardware to it's limits yet) *So if devs & companies can see it might not take so long to make a game, not cost so much money to make EACH GAME. Give these things a chance to prove they are capable of being timeless. Hopefully we see a resurgence of pure nerdy passion & focus from devs if they are allowed to just focus on smaller passion projects. Especially with today's technological advancements. Previous games should still inspire newer games no matter how far into the future we go. We shouldn't leave those unique aspects of gaming in the past. Hopefully the struggles of the modern day triple AAA games will organically shift change back towards a better direction. I just worry about the gaming industry being at a certain point where people who are severely out of touch with the core gaming community are the ones that are making the most decisions and forcing devs to do things they completely don't want to do because they know it's a bad idea.. I wish we didn't have so many game companies get bought out. I miss when a game was a project worked on by a group of passionate people who decided they wanted to create this passion project.. Now it's like a popular underground band getting bought out by a mega Corp and now they have full say in the way they play music and when they play music and what they say in their music.. I hope gaming snaps out of this dark chapter and they find their roots they left in the wake of the Y2K era..

I don't agree with the example of Sea of Thieves vs Scull and Bones. SoT was received way, way worse on release than S&B was. It may be better now, 5 years later, but this is the issue of old, established games vs new ones. It's the same story as with any sequel of a strongly supported game. New version of Civilization are always seen as inferior in comparison with older one, for example, so this isn't a fair comparison. Black Flag was seen as a low effort cash grab and proof that Ubisoft is out of ideas on release - a whole game based on a minigame from AC3. Black Flag was considered as a last nail in the Assassin's Creed coffin, because while AC3 made significant departure from the stealth roots of the series, Black Flag has almost none of them at all. I agree with the premise of the video - there are plenty of AAA games that are good and popular. They just come from different companies than people are used to. You just should put more thought into examples you used.

What i like about new games coming from indie studios is the diversity honestly almost every game coming from the likes of Ubisoft, Ea, Blizzard and bathesda and more to me are the same you either have a plain old shooter or a stale fighter. Indie studios do things differently to spice it up so that they can build a fanbase i've been recently hooked on the finals fps with different abilities with gamemodes that fit the whole idea of the game if blizzard were to make the finals it would be just like overwatch very little room for movement and intriguing gameplay just plain walk shoot. And this may sound very negative but i hope they continue pushing up garbage in our faces and we stop buying so they keep losing money and maybe they may realize their mistake.

At this point i really couldn't care less about big corps and their soulless products. Even if they "make a comeback". Every now n' then an actual video game will drop and even more rarely will it be amazing. That's reality. Case closed. I'm not gonna join the quality starved hooligans waiting for another shooting star. I have my Nintendo and i have my indie games

Can’t wait for shadow of the erdtree and whatever their next title is. (It’s probably gonna be another standalone like bloodborne, which is a really unique game so I’m very excited for that)

On point, games have to be fun. + on earning the right to monetize. I could see new studios, after all gaming is a still a big industry. I remember getting a SNES w/ box of games from my cousins after they got N64 and Gamecube and PS 2-3's, FF4J (Final Fantasy 2 US) from squaresoft, it had story, interesting characters, and was somewhat complicated but not so you'd get lost. I tried to play recent squaresoft games, they are too convoluted, can't story tell, have every other character jar jar binks or silent ninja / gunslinger, or roid rage tank big guy, and the e-girl toons. And microtransactions for walking 20 paces, and more if you want a bracelet, and first born if you want a skin. No. And a game that's hurried and unfinished like Forespoken. No.

How is Nintendo viewed in this situation. Is it changing the norm or is it like the other AAA companies? In my personal opinion, I think it’s changing the norm a little but what do you guys think?

Well, what exactly constitutes a AAA game in the first place? Is it a matter of how expansive the game is to make? If that's the case then most of Nintendo's games wouldn't qualify as AAA. Hell, some of them are probably closer in budget to indie games (Animal Crossing, 2d Mario) than AAA games. Assuming that AAA does in fact mean something like "very expensive to make", then the lessons other developers can/should take from games like Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom is: focus on making a good game that isn't buggy and rushed. Unfortunately, many developers are forced into rushing their games out to meet deadlines, so it is up to the likes of Sony, Microsoft, etc. to not force games to be released when they clearly aren't ready.

isn't Helldiver 2 the game that ended up in the controversial drama about their woke ideology and a waman speerheading the direction of the game? I think i'll pass. Something about rainbow cloaks and treating their players badly. Was covered on X a month ago.

By AAA having a large crash that's how. As long as there's the same big wigs that keep ruining everything in the picture? The only AAAs that'll keep coming out are either remakes, mtx galores, rushed buggy garbage, or woke trash. The big companies nowadays only care about graphics nowadays they genuinely forgot how to make games fun. As for helldivers, its community manager debacle aside even if it is important, helldivers isn't even AAA, it's AA, and if it keeps going in the same direction it'll just follow AAA as these companies get bigger and their games go mainstream. I stand by my point that indies are where it's at now, plenty of indies that are fun to play, indies are the only part of industry left that bother trying new things and do something truly innovative and it's great when it works out. Also yes, monetization is necessary, sure, but the only monetization for paid games there should be is buying game once, then selling expansions, and i'm talking actual expansions that expand game significantly, sidestories etc new content, instead of cutting up content that should've been in the game to begin with and selling it as a bunch of day1 dlcs or a month after release.
