What started the trend of triple A games being absolute disasters?
What started the trend of triple A games being absolute disasters?

Oliver Wood
the ps3/360 era development cycle
Oliver Morales
It was more of a gradual thing. A big catalyst was Activision releasing a the same Call of Duty every year and the invasion of shitty mobile games around 2008-09.
Liam Garcia
when the jews told big publishers that it was time to stop making money and to start to shill for faggotry
Josiah Roberts
I can't name the actual cause but I sure as shit know when and where it started: Mass Effect 3. 2012 was the canary in the coal mine and 2013 fucking exploded with disasters like Aliens Colonial Marines, Bioshock Infinite, and a certain breed of alligator.
Adam Rodriguez
Annual franchises, rushed development for holiday sales and pandering/ hiring retards who hate game and the people that play them
Brandon Ross
diversity quotas
Brayden Ward
The abillity to patch a game easily
Noah Hernandez
When companies started hiring woman and diversity hires to make games.
Robert King
I'd like to add SWTOR to that list. It came out in the same general timeframe as ME3 and set the stage for the lunacy to come.
Sebastian White
Hiring based on diversity nonsense instead of talent or skill..
Zachary Bennett
this guy
Grayson Sanchez
Catering to normalfags and the lowest common denominator over a core niche fanbase.
Jacob Perry
ToRtanic
Samuel Roberts
Shitty producers who shouldn't see the inside of the door getting high on their own farts fucking up the development.
Mason Phillips
EA. Around the time of DA2 and ME3. Other AAA publishers followed suit.
Brody Gutierrez
I would say Dead Space 3 as well
Easton Brooks
Remember the meme about the DA2 writer that didn’t like maps in games, because she couldn’t read them?
Brayden Cox
2012 is out right chalk full of them, shit triple A sequels
Borderlands 2
Assassins creed 3
Halo 4
Diablo 3
Blops 2
Street fighter X tekken
Prototype 2
Easton Rivera
Hiring incompetent idiots with personal agendas that just also happen to check certain diversity checkboxes. Shits fucked and will probably not improve anytime soon.
Julian Barnes
...
Luis Diaz
Replacing whites with unqualified people to show how "woke" they are.
Jeremiah Powell
Levi Taylor
2012 really was the end
Angel Ross
Game dev becoming too complex and expensive, causing games that take literal years of time even with hundreds to thousands of people working on them.
Zachary Reed
Why do they hire these mouth breathers?
Jacob Moore
>chalk full
Jonathan Wood
Sad part is that they were actually one of the better writers. People just dogpiled on her because they had a visible appearance and name they could point at.
Blake Hernandez
Mass Effect 3 is a nice point to call AAA games as dead.
The fact that the developers had the tenacity to end a game series like Mass Effect with an abrupt choice of three endings which don't rely on any of your previous actions. The loading screens of the original Mass Effect said that choices in the game would end up mattering a lot in future games, and it was all undone by ME3. All the forced diversity was cringy as fuck with the gay man always giving you a dialogue choice to imply you are straight or imply you are gay, it was genuinely strange that Shepard would be fine with some random crewmate hitting on him like that's way out of line for a military ship...
Also this game was the first time that I can remember that AAA devs claimed their critics were "entitled" and "racist" and "sexist" and "homophobic."

>out right
Parker Stewart
>Halo 4 and Diablo 3 came out 8 years ago
CUT MY LIFE INTO PIECES
Joshua Foster
Atari gave one guy a handful of weeks to rush out a movie tie in game.
Chase Smith
>Mass Effect 3 was the canary in the coal mine
No, that would have been dragon age II.
Landon Lewis
Only white, slav, and japanese male nerds should be making games. You may not like hearing that, but it’s the goddamned truth.
Jonathan Harris
Max Payne for the Microsoft Windows?
Joseph Roberts
>had the tenacity
I see Zig Forums is really flexing their third grade reading level in this thread.
