Some PS3 fanboys here are just crazy. "Tri-Ace used to make AAA games only!!!!11 What happened to ye?????? fk you Microsoft!!!111"

Tri-Ace games:

Star Ocean: First Departure - metascore 74
Star Ocean: The Second Story - metascore 77
Star Ocean: Till the End of Time - metascore 80
Valkyrie Profile - metascore 81
Valkyrie Profile 2 - metascore 84
Radiata Stories - metascore 74

Tri-Ace has never ever made an AAA title. Not even once they were close.

After over a decade, you would have guessed that tri-Ace would've made atleast one AAA game.  There must be something wrong with Tri-Ace games if there hasn't been one that has gotten AAA scores.

 

 

The problem is that the term "AAA" is bullshit. Everyone will have varying opinions on what they like, and a website telling me that game "x" is better than game "y" doesn't mean anything. Most games do not make it to "AAA" status, which gives the indication that with this genre, fans have to really base their assessment of the game on the review itself and not the score.

You're right. I guess the point I'm trying to make is that review scores are utterly useless. Reviews should be limited to text only that possibly includes what general audience the reviewers recommend the game for. Scores not only potentially ruin a game's sales, but they incite hate and malice within the gaming community.
