I think the term AAA is stupid as well.




Nintendo still doomed?

Hmm if we can't use triple "A" anymore maybe we can use triple "X"?

So what do you guys think makes a game a XXX game?

 Boobies.



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

I think there would be a lot more AO ratings.

Is Mario and Sonic an AAA game just because people buy it?

Is Shadow of Colossus not an AAA game? Same goes for Okami and possibly No More Heroes

Actually the original term AAA came from nothing but budget. It was used to define the games that developers spent the most money to make. Again though I really think it's a stupid term and shouldn't be used anymore. Everyone has their own opinions of it, and it creates nothing but arguments and confusion.



Now stick with me here people, because I have a new system which may be a little complicated:

If you want to talk about games with 90% or more on gamerankings, say "games with 90% or more on gamerankings." If you want to talk about high budget games, say "high budget games." If you want to talk about games that sell lots of units, say "games that sell lots of units."

I know that's asking a lot, but I have confidence that you guys are all smart enough to handle it.

Well said,call the games as the kind they are.

Any hype game,let´s call it "a hyped game" too.

For me, a real AAA game has to be of excellent quality in gameplay, design, audio, etc..

For the rest of the world, it's HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE!!
