My PS3 can play at most a decade worth of games. It is obsolete.

Sure, but so is the PC that someone bought around the time the original Doom was released.

I think the more likely relation is to credit ratings or something similar, since the "AAA" is based around budgets and financial investments.

he games expected to be GotY contenders would be marked AAA, AA for otherwise decent games, A for more niche games and B for “this is a starshot, we’re hoping it will sell enough to justify production costs”.

Is there any evidence of this being the case? Personally, I don't remember anything other than "AAA" back in the day, with other variations coming about much later as budgets grew and people wanted more specific delineations.

It's been funny seeing the Playstation controller slowly morph into an Xbox controller. Which is great because I definitely preferred the Xbox controller since the 360.

I still prefer the offset sticks on the Xbox controller though.

Haha, yup. I knew something looked off.

To elaborate a bit more than just budget/marketing, AAA games used to be distinguished from AA titles.

To be a bit of a pedant, "AAA" was basically the marketing term to denote a game with a larger budget. The term "AA" came around afterwards as a way to distinguish games that fell between smaller indie games, and larger budget AAA games.

Edit: Corrected spelling.

Bummer that we aren't even getting a chance to play it.

Sad to see the state of the MMO genre at this point. It looks like we might be hitting a point where there aren't going to be any new games going forward. I expect most online games will stick to the smaller scales like Destiny or Diablo 4 and just avoid all the complexities that come with large scale persistent worlds.

He actually responded to this on Twitter.

Two clear quotes from the tweet.

Were there twitch whisper messages with an individual minor back in 2017? The answer is yes.

I'm no fucking predator or pedophile.

What about it is a clone of Genshin Impact?

Go right ahead. If they actually manage to do it, that will be the end of my YouTube watching.

...

Except on extremely rare occasions.

I'm sorry, I just find it funny that you walked back the "I'm done with Youtube" claim in the very next sentence.

My kids will be excited. They love this game.

$60 for the first game is kind of a crazy price.
