Oblivion was The first AAA game to have microtransactions and now Oblivion Remastered could possibly be the last AAA game to be priced at $50-60 dollars.

with the Switch 2 being a success, we could see a rise in prices for all AAA Games. to 80-90 dollars

WHEN games do inevitably become 80-100 dollars, I'll definitely be buying more Indie games

I don't even remember the last time I played a so-called AAA game. I guess Like A Dragon could count as AAA, but to me the production values aren't really on that level, they must be relatively cheap to make.

They shock me when I see a friend playing them at their place. It's always the same flashy bloom "realistic" graphics that look identical to any other game on the market, with token RPG elements shoved in and nothing that gives it a unique sense of style or flow. They just always look so boring to me. Like Assasin's creed 69 looks functionally the same as red dead rootin' tootin' just that one is about cowboys, one is about like, ancient greece or something.

I initially thought you were bashing Like A Dragon and was about to go kiryu-slam

I haven't played it or really heard of it, but it's probably awful? That's what you wanted to hear right?

That was the only one with the rooftops and the underground, right? That may have been the coolest.
