I feel this way as I get older. I don’t care how “realistic” the latest iteration of Call of Battlefield 19: Looty-Shooty Palooza" is, give me compelling gameplay; Not a generic “go here, shoot that, loot this” gameplay loop.

    I feel like this is pretty reductive, really, to blanket all AAA games as one thing that are all bad. Just like all indie games aren’t great. In fact, the vast majority are kinda trash, really.

    For every Call of Duty, you can find amazing games like Death Stranding 2 that have insane budgets but swing for the fences (and succeed in my opinion). And on the flip side for every Silksong you have three million, anime-girl-on-the-cover trash indie game.

    There’s no “one is better than the other” when comparing the totality of AAA vs indie.
