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.

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?

[โ€“] JackDark@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I'm not the commentator that said they're shit. I'm the one that said I won't call them all shit. I just don't give a shit about them.

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.
