!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.


2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.


Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

AAA studios are making crap games recently, the more middle grade ones that absolutely rocking it.

So what's the point of the grades?

[–] Kiosade@lemmy.ca 3 points 8 months ago

It’s not like the grades are regulated or anything. It’s just a vague indicator of how much money went into a given game.

thankfully it lets me know what studios to avoid unless it becomes an internet sensation, but I think the AAA/AA studio thing is something the studios started with.

They are just production value. How good a game looks and sounds, which isn't necessarily related to how fun a game is.

Company size, probably. AAA = extremely bloated with more bureaucracy to get anything done and approved than most governments.
