Boutros said: What I learned from this thread is that most of you guys don't realize that AAA pertains to budget and not quality... For example, Homefront was touted as being a AAA title because it had a massive budget and THQ invested many ressources on the title. It ended up being a so-so game but it is still considered a AAA title. |
Its examples like that that render that statement dated. To call a game less then 90 on metacritic AAA doesnt sound right. High 80's games are exceptions offcourse.
Definitions of words change throughout history. In this case the word is lost in transition, having double meaning now.
