Coming from the union busting studio that wants 80$ for the game? Man, what a surprise. /s
AAA is dead.
It's a rotting carcass for roughly a decade now, sadly. At least with US-based AAA. I would have to think for a while to come up with a title that well deserved full price. It was either indie, AA or some Chinese or polish AAA.
I honestly don't remember what the last AAA title I bought was.
Cyberpunk+DLC. Well worth it. (Not at launch, but never play on release-day). Other than that I would have to check my library for hours-played to answer that... Which is sad.
Dude just bought that game off Steam for 75% off. Was like 17 bucks.
I just bought on release-day. But didn't play it until a year later. I learnt from my mistakes, and behold, it was the right choice. They released way too early 😁
I had zero problems, tons of mods, massive hours of fun.
Last AAA for me was Jedi: Survivor. Even played it on release day. Didn't have any problems. But then again, I also had sane graphics settings for what my card could handle.
That is rare, yes :) I actually checked, and it's not many.... Assassin's Creed Origin&Odyssey and Subnautica&SZ were the only US-based AAA that were worth it for full-price (or more) in the last 5 years or so.
