Crit fail: You just stated that reviews don't matter and sales do, and yet you're now talking about PROVEN AAA titles. Wait, do sales determine AAA status? What does it take? 5 Million? Is that why Nintendogs is the MOST AAA title to come out in the last five years and Shadow of the Colossus is a steaming pile of regurgitated dog poo?

Make up your mind about what standard you're judging these games on, and don't just throw around AAA like it's meaningless. (Which it is, last time I checked grades topped out at A+ - which the majority of titles people call AAA don't deserve) Also, learn to spell Gran Turismo if you're going to try and make a point about it.

 

 

AAA has to be decided by each individual I guess. There is no "standard" for AAA games. I read an article earlier where a guy listed 17 AAA games coming out on the 360 next year (Conan included)...I love and am looking forward to many of them (especially Lost Odyssey & Fable II) but there are not 17 AAA games coming out on the 360 next year IMO.

You will never hear me say that I think a review determines AAA games (it is only a small, small part of the equation)...In my opinion many things determine a AAA game...personal opinion, Popular opinion, the "what its done for gaming" tag, console movers, reviews, sales, and history determine AAA games. Popular opinion isn't decided by you or me...it's decided by sales and consoles moved by particular franchises. I'm not quite sure how calling three games AAA is abusing it.

Simple...Sales--YES, History--YES, Reviews--Yes, Console Sellers--Yes, Hype--Yes

This may be a list of the only games/franchises I feel are AAA...a very rare prestige...many AA games exist (Ratchet & Clank, Bioshock, God of War, etc.)

 

FF=AAA

Halo=AAA

Gran Turismo=AAA

Gears of War=AAA

MGS=AAA

Mario=AAA

Zelda=AAA

Grand Theft Auto=AAA

 

And those are the only games that I think are AAA. A very small list for me. (You don't have to agree!...heck, I don't even like some of those games personally, but I can't deny their power) But each of those games/series can claim something that no others can claim.

lol, it's better than some of you goofballs calling Conan AAA...now that's ridiculous.

Rather than insulting three incredible franchises (which even the harshest non-fanboy critics would consider AAA franchises regardless of personal opinion), you would actually gain a little credibility by saying, "Those are three great games, but I just don't think they'll be enough."

And Shadow of the Colossus didn't sell that bad--it is a "Greatest Hits" afterall...although I don't find it deserving of AAA (possibly an A)...no, only a select few games reach that criteria.

You can't determine AAA games by a "fun"...it's a large combo of factors in my opinion...if you disagree, that's fine--it's the beauty of differences.
