Would you rather have 5 or so AAA games, i'm talking the best of the best games to play a year and that is it or 10-20 ok to great games a year to play? Keep in mind that that is ALL you can play, so if you pick the AAA games you only have 5 to 10 games a year to play but they are the best of the best or 10-20 games that are good to great a year.

10-20 games. AAA doesn't gaurentee I'm going to like something, on the assumption I don't know more is better considering A and AA are still fine titles.

The way I see it, having 5 AAA games a year is better... why?? because the rest of the games are bound to get A-AA anyway.

I would prefer the 10-20 A-AA games. Some games achieve AAA, and I wouldn't like them. Having more quality titles to choose from means I'll have a higher likelihood of enjoying more games.

Since I rarely play a game more than twice, I'll take more games. 5 games is few for a year.

Same here, most of the titles I've enjoyed this gen are "AA" titles.

This, AAA games aren't as fun for me. I enjoy niche titles a lot more.

You know the whole, "Editor's Choice" tag on AAA games? They have much more value in the gaming community.

That's why everytime there's a AAAE these forums explode.

This thread seems oddly familiar from something actic edge posted a few months ago...I believe it was him anyways.

In any case I generally only play a few games a yer anyways. No way could I get throiugh all 20 titles. 5 AAA's for me. Doesn't matter if they're exclusives though, Just AAA titles.

Ask me that question at the start of the gen, and I would say 10-20etcetc

Now, I'll take the AAA. I see it being maybe 3AAA/2AA titles for the year. Im an exception with being able to play a game over and over. No skin of mine.

Sure it does, the quality of a AAA game is greater than that of AA game or below.

Quality vs. quantity can work in lots of cases. It just depends on your value of ranked games. Obviously mine is different from yours.

yes the quality of AAA games are higher then the quality of AA games but i dont see how quality over quantity works when they are both granted the agenda of quality titles respectively. it would of been different if you said you like the highest quality titles compared to the others, but thats not the case.

quality of quantity. besides, i usually only wind up switching to new games after playiing with one for almost a year or more (online). this year will be reach and black ops which will hold me over till gears 3 which i could easily all play without boredom until 1 year from now. maybe getting the new assassin's creed or something else around christmas. all most likelly AAA games.

I'd take the AAA games simply because it would bug the hell outta me to miss out on them. But tbh there isn't much of a difference between an AA and AAA game in most cases, and if the AAA games were short 10 hour action games I'd prolly regret it later.

I'd take 5 legit exceptional games, over 10-20 of your usual very well done flavors of the month. The problem? AAA=/= legit exceptional as not every AAA has actually been necessarily worth of the hype. Plus I like a lot of AA titles this gen. So I guess I'll uh...admit I was going nowhere with this post.

I don't trust reviews, some of my most favorite games is MH2 which was less than A and in my book it is better than many AAAAAZ games.

Well if it was based just on scores I'd take the AA games. Cos Mass Effect, Dead Rising, Twilight Princess, etc are all cIass! But if it was based on what I personally considered top games, and merely good games, I'd pick the 5 top games.

I would rather have five or so AAA games a year. I can't keep up with all these great games as is so why not lower the quantity and increase the quality?

Depends on the games. I would take 5 AAA games I want over 10-20 AA games I have no interest in whatsoever, or 10-20 AA games I want over 5 AAA games I have no interest in whatsoever.

How's that for a non-answer?

It depends on what the games included. I am not so narrow minded to let a .5 or 1 point difference review score influence what games I want to play

Lost odyssey and braid are the perfect examples of a great game and an overhyped piece of....(in my honest opinion...)

The AAA games, there isn't enough time to play all the pretty good games out there so I try to prioritize those games considered critically to be "must-plays".

Sometimes some of the best games slip through the review radars, though. For example, Wave Race Blue STorm is one of the best games on the gamecube. While that generation was current, it wasn't recieved that well.

OFC 10-20 AA games. Played many AA games that i liked way more than some AAA or even AAAA...there are no objective scores...only reviewer opinions. So 10-20 good games > 5 good games ;)
