But but but... Consoles are the AAA industry. Indies have a chance because of PC gaming.

and nowadays im siding with the indies.
triple A has been pretty dissapointing lately.
But what about AAAA?
how long until we have AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA games
🎶We come from the land of the the ice and snow🎶
🎶From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow🎶
What do you mean? We already have them. For example, Dark Souls makes me go AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA all the time.
the year is 2050
you are in a stadium
a man walks up on stage. he yells at the top of his lungs for 30 minutes straight
the crowd goes wild
suddenly the lights go out
the lights come back on slowly
you see "The elder scrolls V: Skyrim"
The first AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...A game
Todd Howard has done it again
I think someone probably made a possum simulator.
Press X to scream at own ass.
Lol, yeah. Lately.
Honestly the XBLA (Xbox live arcade) kicked off a lot of indie games, that was short lived though it differently has the best chance on PC
The best thing to come out of Microsoft's push into the indie space was XNA, which even now stands as one of the best game development frameworks of all time. It's a shame they murdered it in its crib.
(I know Monogame/FNA exist, but I'll always wonder where the project could have gone with Microsoft-level funding)
Op, are you trying to imply that only peasants wash their hands after using the bathroom? I'm so confused.
These are all very normal things. The joke is that console gamers are normal people, whereas pc gamers are a bunch of hardcore nerds who never wash themselves, never leave home, don't have a job and don't know how to interact with women
I don't get the toilet paper one. Is the joke PC gamers never have any, or that they are fully stocked?
In either case, what's the significance?
Shitbucket!
The absolute state of irony these days
Peak life gameplay is getting the 1-shake RNG and hitting the handwash-skip
Okay, what do social dynamics and personal hygiene have to do with console players and triple-A games?
Yeah, the title of this post, the meme's upper text, and the rest are all at odds and I'm just confused as to what OP is going for.
Is the point that consoles are the AAA industry and services normal people with normal needs? How does this mean we should boycott it?
Are we being tongue-in-cheek? Are we not supposed to boycott the AAA industry?
Why does this meme single out 'console peasants' as normal people? Is normal bad? Is irregular bad? Is PC bad? But PC gamers also care about gameplay and are regular people? How much sarcasm is supposed to be here?
OP, WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
Couldnt help but hear zero punctuation as I read
AAA games only on sale and from DRM-free sources.
What is this, 2012? Grow up, OP.
The outdoors is pay to win trash anyway.
I've been passively boycotting AAA games for years now because they all suck* and I don't want to play them anyway
*Exceptions may apply
Closest one I've found to a AAA studio that doesn't suck is Techland. Dying Light 2 was a very underwhelming release, but at least they've mostly fixed the game and are still updating it and listening to the community.
