Is "Big Blockbuster Release" something the filthy peasants use to make them feel better about their flopped games with expensive marketing campaigns?

Am I doing it right?

Ignoring the obvious trolling.... what qualifies as a "Big Blockbuster Release"? The only thing that comes to mind is a game with a large marketing campaign that eats a good portion of budget. I understand that on consoles this is required to compete and move titles, but on PC we have easy access to Youtube, Twitch, etc where developers can focus their time and money to you know.... actually develop the game and allow word of mouth to indicate whether it's worthy of your money.

Civilization Beyond Earth

...granted it is a black eye in the Civ franchise, but still a AAA release

What? It's a new entry in one of the longest running and biggest strategy series in video game history

Kind of prefer the lack of AAA games on PC. Means that we get more interesting and different games.

Divinity was better than any console exclusive on all platforms

Super Mario 3D and Bayonetta says haluuu

Bayonetta was incredibly cringe worthy.... but then I will accept my own bias here because I find the hack n slash genre incredibly tedious and repetitive..... the theme/story/characters just made that 10x worse.... I've played most DMC games, god of Wars, Castlevanias ...... but ironically for once I would take them over the perfection and 60 FPS of Bayonettas gameplay ... something I will very rarely EVER say...

I just stopped playing it.... despite having good gameplay it was obsurd, childish (not in the good way) felt like something a 15 year old teenager dreamed up. And no, I'm not apposed to "Sex appeal in games" quite the opposite... it wasn't just the sexual themes... it was every other aspect of the theme, voice acting, story ... pitiful. I felt abit ambarrased playing it in front of the misses... and I've played many more cheesy anime games in front of her than this (hell she has too)...

Great gameplay .... behind one of the most un-enjoyable everything-elses in existence.

Super Mario 3D world:

Single player - a dissapointed luke warm experience compared to past games (Galaxies/64 and even sunshine.).

Multplayer - best mario multiplayer game for a kick around.

As much as I love my Wii U , those 2 games in particular are in my mind some of the most dissapointing games to score that high.... simply because while they do well in one area, they often dissapoint in others... games like that getting 9s and 10s? the review scoring system is a load of S*it.

still bigger on MC, have you really played Mario64? cause if your saying Mario64 is better than Mario3D then i have no idea what kind of games you like. mario64 is a shitty game compared to Mario3D and has shitty controls too

Didn't you get the memo?

Only regurgitated "cinematic" shooters count as AAA.

Well, looking at that poor list, it's not surprising that everybody in this thread is so passive aggressive.

That "poor" list usually trumps consoles lists at GS and MC, which probably won't be hard this year....considering FiveClub and The Do Not Order.

The passive aggressiveness is because the OP is a well known troll.

they're trash compared to Divinity, not even in the same league.

Super Mario 3D World is an excellent compelling experience, complete with the best coin collecting and koopa-troopa-shell-throwing simulation I've ever experienced.

It is, however, not a 2014-2015 game.

Simple question, no simple answer. Thats why local "master race" clowns are so annoyed by this simple question. The reality is that there is not a single blockbuster PC exclusive in the last 2 years (at least), because the sales would not be high enough to pay for such a game.

PC is ok for indie games lovers, if you want to play games with high production values (i.e. expensive motion capturing technology, top notch voice acting, overall polish), buy a console. Thats also why you are perfectly fine with gaming on any laptop and there is zero reason to spend money for custom built powerhouse (which is an archaic concept anyway).

So in other words movie games that are pick up and throw away? I'm pretty sure sales isn't an issue as niche and demanding games like Arma 3 mange to sell over a million. Either way blockbuster is not really something to be mocking us lacking for exclusives when you see how most of them turn out nowadays. The blockbuster market is something I can't see sustaining much longer as with big budgets the devs limit on innovation and creativity since they need to appeal to the lowest common denominator in order to make huge sales to pay off.

Use google to find out. If you just want to post a troll topic and then laugh at every and any response with no attempt to sincerely engage in any form of debate other than to annoy people please post elsewhere.
