Forums - Gaming - How do YOU define an AAA game?

Quality hands down. The ability to deliver the product they wanted you to have. Rushed products or sloppy ports are almost never AAA in my book.



From 0 to KICKASS in .stupid seconds.

Super Mario Galaxy, Halo 3, Final Fantasy XIII, Kingdom Hearts: 358/7 Days, Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, is that better :)



Fun, tight gameplay, amazing replayability. Brawl&Gears are two examples of this for me. Multiplayer of some sort is almost usually a must. Galaxy is not AAA to me, its a great game, but I dont see myself beating it again for a long time.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

-Jim Sterling

I define games in "want" and "dont want". anything else I dont care.

a great game that makes people say "Well, when I buy ****** console, I will get that game"

@Soriku

Was this inspired by the thread I made yesterday?



I don't define AAA as its a stupid and uncertain term.

Instead I'll define it by sales numbers or by GR rankings.



Isn't it like a high 80's rating?

like 87 or 88+ or something like that?

Edit: I meant like the literal way to define them. I'd define them as great fun games really.



Games that I think are of highest of Quality, and draw you in with humor, action, or just Fun!
