My guess is there's not gonna be a debate. I doubt anyone likely to post in this thread would agree, except Elph, cuz he's punk as ****. Down with corporations! Wooo!
Anyway, whether anyone agrees with me that AAA games tend to be boring or not, you gotta agree that they generally can't really afford to take risks or be all that complex or obscure in their style, etc. That's how it works and it would be naïve to believe otherwise. There's a reason why, for example, so many shooter protagonists are just some bland, template white guy that looks like some variant of Nathan Drake, etc. I guarantee you that the creatives making the game would do something more interesting if they weren't handcuffed by the guys in suits who get final say in everything since they put 200 million dollars on the table.
