Almost every single major AAA game. For example: GTA, CoD, Battlefield, The Witcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077, FIFA, Madden, Silksong, Ghost of Tsushima/Yotei, Mario and Zelda (any of them), etc. If it’s a AAA game, there’s a decent chance I have no interest in it.
I find when people don’t like any of what AAA has to offer, its usually because they’ve found a subgenre or niche that is extremely their jam, and the big budget games usually aren’t aiming at that market.
I like to put my money behind games that are doing something new and unique and/or have a great art style. I don’t always even get into them or play them, but I’m happy to support the devs for doing something new or beautiful.
I feel like it might be easier to list some AAA games that I do like than indie games many may not know. Borderlands 1 and 2, Doom 2016, Dying Light 1, Horizon Zero Dawn, Mass Effect trilogy, Outer Worlds 1 (jury is still out on 2), Uncharted series. Honorable mentions to AA games Atomfall, Clair Obscur Expedition 33, and Helldivers 2.
I don’t think Silksong is a AAA game. It’s a $20 game made by an indie developer with a relatively small team. It just happened to have a lot of hype because it’s the predecessor to the insanely popular Hollow Knight.
Me too. It’s beautiful. It’s amazingly beautiful and interesting and kind of simple. But I hate twitchy platforming and being thrown back a long way because of a tiny mistake or ten every time.
OK, hyped, yes, but by who? I bet 90% of the people who hyped it and bought it ended up enjoying it. And that’s justified. Not over hyped. What OP was thinking of Silksong is probably media exposure.
Silksong isnt AAA. But yes, every triple A game is shit. The marketing is just very good, people are told they are good games and they should enjoy them. Truth is, all the good games are indie games.
You’re right about Silksong. I’ve updated the comment.
I won’t say that every AAA game is shit. There are some ones I love and clearly the yearly FPS and sports games have their market that I’m just not in, but I’m very happy to see indie games become more mainstream outside of PC, and even more happy that I’m seeing physical releases for some of them.

And I’m finding Hollow Knight insufferable. Mostly because I suck.

Zelda? Red dead? Elden ring?
Gotta be rage bait
I couldn’t care less about Zelda, Red Dead, Elden Ring, or Dark Souls.
Does that make them shit? Or are you just too edgy to like something mainstream?
