its not paranoia if its true

 



there is no use to spam a stupid picture because you have no clue of a timeline

 

 

lol Really kid?  Why are you in here argueing with people.  I said you can believe what you want, it is no big deal.

Its clearly not my sig... I'm obviously not the one defining AAA by metacritic. Its been accepted AAA has been 90+ on here since 2007

And if that is what you want to believe then go ahead.  nobody is stopping you.  Why are you in here argueing?  Dont you find that kind of pointless?



Youre being real hypocritical being you made a thread for this.


Yeah to show people what it truly is.  If you dont want to believe it then no big deal.  I'm not going to be able to change your mind regardless so what is the use in me argueing with you?  

And before you reply back you are not going to change my mind either so it is worthless to argue about this.



LOL yet people showed you your definition is wrong.

no people said they have a different opinion.  Nobody has actually showed any kind of proof of anything other than using there own opinions.  Let me ask you.  If i said God of War was the worst game Ive ever played and it that i rate it a 1/10 does that make it true and that it is acutally horrible?  No, it's called an opinion.  Where as what i showed you is something that is definitevely used in business.

Hey guys. How are you doing? I am really not in the mood for banning or warning people so let's try to get this thread back on track. No spamming of tin foil hats, calling each other kid, or arguing just to argue.

I don't want to, but will come back with my ban hammer if I must. Either that, or I will lock this thread up in cyberspace prison forever. We don't want that, now do we?

so a triple A ip is based on budget? i'd say it's based on expectations from the consumers. that's the only reason it's debated about. the average gamer doesn't know the difference anyway. or are we the average gamer?

then again, budgets are based on publisher expectations, and they've got to make back more then what they spent to create the ip for it to be considered a success.

i'm srry mate, but your definition won't clear this up, cause people with think up every variable for the argument. in the end it's just a topic of debate.

There is no definition for it though... you are saying it like its an objective term but it isnt. you are flat out wrong here

Alright, let me show you were the designations really come from. I don't even know why this is even a point of contention. It's nothing more than a way for analysts to communicate which products they think will move a significant amount of units.

http://www.docstoc.com/docs/102343958/Resource---Download-as-Excel

The designations are set far before release date to help with prebooking.  It has nothing to do with critics or fans.

I'll give a few examples:

  • Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters -- AAA  
  • Super Paper Mario -- AAA   
  • Test Drive Unlimited -- AA  
  • Warcraft Expansion Pack -- AAA  
  • Kirby Squeak Squad -- AAA
  •  Red Steel -- AAA  
  • Eragon -- AAA

Question;

Is Alan Wake considered a AAA game ?

It was under production for 5 whole years, by a loaded developer (Max Payne 1&2 sold 7.5 mil, let alone the money they got for selling the IP) and it has a reasonable length and it's highly polished.
