It's that time again. Time for me to get nosy.
So I was just wondering what the top 3 NON-AAA games you just can't seem to win here are. Remember, NON-AAA.

Even though I might have accidentally put one due tot he fact I don't know if one is.

Mine are, in order-
1- ARK - Survival Evolved
2- Guacamelee Thank you JaffaCaffa - new listing is Trulon: The Shadow Engine
3- Stardew Valley

And for putting up with me this time, I have a small GA for y'all.

Actually there are a lot of indie games where I have no luck by known reason. :) But the most desirable and unreal are:

  1. LEGO The Lord of the Rings
  2. Subnautica
  3. Remember Me

For me its:
1.- The Legend of Heroes, Trails in the sky
2.- Ittle Dew
3.- The Last Remnant

No.1 I've seen it very infrequently, but 2 and 3 pop up more regularly, so they hurt a bit more =P

Stardew Valley
Infinifactory
And recently unbox

Been on an unlucky run lately :( but take the good with the bad. I always look out for GTA San Andreas giveaways, I loved that game on the ps2 and sadly don't have my console anymore. May end up buying it when it goes on sale

Overall though, I can't complain. I've been lucky with regards to winning other wishlisted games in the recent months. Have to wait until Thursday for my exams to be over before I can start tackling my backlog~

1) Styx: Master of Shadows
1) Since i've just learned Styx is considered AAA game :O I'm changing it with Renowned Explorers: International Society :)
2) Knee Deep
3) Death to Spies: Moment of Truth

It was tough choice because there are so many games that would fit the criteria so I've just picked the games that were massively given away at some point and I failed to win any of them I^v^I

This is getting fascinating. It's so interesting how some people are generous enough to help other out in topics like this.

Makes me feel good for a change that others are being made happy.

Keep up the good feelings here. I'm sure some of us need it.

Gotta love how many AAA games are mentioned in this non-AAA thread. Like Styx, developed by a studio of UbiSoft employees with offices on three different continents, published by a company two decades old and big enough to be on the stock market.

Also Metro Last Light or Crysis :p

Just because a studio isn't indie, doesn't mean that their games are AAA though. I'd consider Styx to be a AA / mid range title. I'd give them that much credit. ;)

There isn't really a thing like "AA" though. AAA means high-budget title released through a large corporation. Everything else is indie as in independently developed/funded/published outside the known large corporations. There is no exact definition, but neither are more categories beyond those two.

I disagree. It just isn't defined in the gaming industry, mostly because the market is always in fluctuation and AA rarely had a larger market share. But some few years ago, when AAA stumbled, mid range was actually doing pretty well. Till indies ate them up. Anyway, I wouldn't consider Styx to be a AAA production, by any definition that I'm familiar with.

most are pretty clear, but what do you view "The Witness" as? i'm torn and can't decide whether that fits or not. Braid certainly fell under indie, but with witness i'm not so sure. Additionally "Talos Principle" is another semi-tough one (though i'd say this one swings AAA).

edit: to be clear i own both of these already, not asking for my own list, just curious what you consider them.

It was self-published, so it is as independent as you can get. Sometimes even an indie title can get a gigantic budget, especially compared to some of the surprise hit "garage projects" (like Undertale).

that's kinda what i figured on the witness, but the talos principle too? i'd consider devolver digital a large corporation (i think).

That is what Golwar above described as "AA" or mid-range. Difficult to tell, that is for sure. CroTeam is probably one of the biggest indie developer companies with quite the funding (CD Projekt Red has more money though), but Devolver is turning into a decent-sized publisher.

yeah it is kinda the middle grounds working its way up there towards AAA status, but probably not quite there yet. staff size of devolver was only 11 in 2015 according to wiki & only 2 offices, not quite large enough i suppose. ^^

I get where you are coming from that there is no need for another category but the term AA is undeniably in use and I think most people get the gist without further explaination. After giving it some more thought I think the way we coregamers use the term AAA is actually midleading because for most people AAA rather implies quality than the way something was financed. And since (if I'm not mistaken) the term originally comes from credit ratings it's only naturally that people use AA for big and good games that don't quite meet the expectations associated with AAA games.

Didn't even know Styx is AAA :O But you know I don't pay much attention to developers :)
