As in, a game that worked the way that it was intended (so no Cyberpunk or Andromeda), got the typical positive reviews that you expect from the gaming media for being a high budget and functional product, but in reality was just not fun to play.

If it has a multimillion dollar budget and is from the late 90s and onward, it counts.

You didn't like it? I never got into any of the others or most Anime style games in general, but this one got me for a good 80 hours. I'll probably never finish it tho. It's like a video game that's tricking me into reading a book instead.

yea, I played for about 80 hours, too.

I got to the fifth palace boss fight, asked myself why I was still playing, and stopped.

I read up on the rest of the story online.

I guess that I wasn't feeling how the gameplay hadn't really evolved since the 90s with its combat mechanics, the pacing wasn't great, and I wasn't feeling the story or characters.

I'd rather play through the entirety of Skyward Sword before even booting Inquisition again.

Can Nintendo games even be AAA? Don't they have notoriously small budgets, which is one of the "A"s?

Just use your own definition so you don't get bogged down on semantics.

Super Mario Odyssey and Breath of the Wild are definitely AAA.

Nintendo definitely does not put the same amount of love into all of it's franchises equally. We know that much.

I enjoyed GTAIV, at the time, but the gameplay is really rough.

the DLCs improved on some things, though.

Oh wait, do ports count? The PC release of HZD was abysmal. The game was completely broken for a ton of people for the first couple of months. I couldn't play the game until about 2 months of patches fixed it.

tbf, Anthem fails TC's criteria outright so doesn't really count. Poor reviews and didn't work from the get go.

I remember really not liking GTA4 nowhere near as much as san andreas when I picked it up at launch. I had pre-ordered and was pretty excited, coming off of gta san andreas and was always imagining what a next-gen GTA would be like. I also really enjoyed saint's row 1 and it's online mode, and I just sort of assumed that GTA4 would automatically do a lot of things better than saint's row 1 did.

I really disliked a lot of things about GTA4...I didn't like certain characters constantly calling whining about something (mainly roman and I think the one dude dwayne or something like that). I really disliked the car controls and is something I thought saint's row did so much better. Also, saint's rows really nailed car shooting mechanics compared to GTA4, alongside having the AI drive you around so you can chill as a passenger. There just wasn't much to do side activity-wise compared to the recent game san andreas. I also did not care for nico himself that much. I enjoyed the lost and the damned and the ballad of gay tony a good deal better than the base game.
