You didn't answer these two:

Where are those 2018 Switch AA games with 80-90+ rating?

What are those Switch AA games with similar development costs (not counting marketing costs) as Just Cause 4?

 

Is Monster Hunter World not AAA?

 

God of War?

Detroit?

 

Spider-Man?

Shadow of the Tomb Raider?

Assassin's Creed Odyssey?

Forza Horizon 4?

Call of Duty?

Battlefield V?

Red Dead Redemption 2?

 

Once you have decided that which of those games are not AAA, can you name those 15 AAA games from 2017, and also those 10 rated 90+?

"2007 had 50 AAA games." So you keep making numbers from thin air? I wonder why?

The list is right there for you, Valkyria 4, Valkyria remaster, Civ6, Octopath, TWEWY R, Dark Souls R, Fortnite, Ys, Child of Light, Diablo 3, Wolfenstein 2, DQ Builders, DBFZ, Both South Park RPGs etc... the list is right there for you if you don't want to read it it's not my problem. AA games aren't as defined by budget either they're mid tier games of decent commercial standing considered worth while purchases in a library so don't require the need to have the same budget as JC this part alone in your post has me wondering if you understand what you're trying to argue tbh.

What about MH? are you sure you know what you're arguing at this point or understand the points being put forward to you as this part is all random and has no context to it.

Those numbers aren't out of thin air the very site I linked you backs them and that's going by your very own logic you've yet to debunk any of this and I can name those 15 AAA in 2007 easily in fact having checked the are actually 16 and 13 of them are 90 or above (marked with *).

Bioshock*
CODMW*
Team Fortress 2*
Portal*
Halo 3*
GOW2*
ES:Oblivion*
Mass Effect*
Crysis*
Rock Band*
Half Life 2:EP2*
Forza*
Uncharted
Assassin's Creed
Project Gotham

"AAA are diminishing in not only release numbers but what set them apart lets look at 2017 where the were 15 actual AAA titles for the time 10 of which average 90+ and these were along side a tonne of AA titles, now days the are less releases from AAA and AA titles are going blow for blow with in everything but budget that's a sign of diminishing."

Well, that's the issue (you said 2017 instead of 2007).

2007 was infact a good year, but surely Team Fortress 2 and Portal don't count as AAA by your standards? Even I wouldn't count them as AAA. Rock Band and Guitar Hero 2 are also a bit questionable. At least they are not raditional games. Games back then were also usually reviewed less harshly, and these days AAA/AA games are much more expensive to make.

And when you are trying to put games like Just Cause 4 and Octopath in the same AA category, it would be  as silly if I would put BotW and Nex Machina in the same category with each other.

How are those AA games that you mentioned about as good as for example God of War or RDR2? Smaller games also aren't rated with the same standards as big games.

Monster Hunter World is AAA. Or do I have the wrong standards again?
