What happened to the harmony of AAA and AA, more niche games? Just looking up what came out in 2008, you have:
>DMC4
>Ninja Gaiden 2
>Battlefield Bad Company
>Call of Duty World At War
>MGS4
>Midnight Club LA
>Dead Space
>GTA IV
>Left 4 Dead
>Mirror's Edge
>Soul Calibur IV
>Star Wars The Force Unleashed
>Yazuka 2
Hell, even Too Human came out in 08. Now, almost everything is AAA.

>Now, almost everything is AAA.
no its not
The middle ground died due to high dev/marketing costs.
Now its either high cost+high sales or low cost+low sales.

Elaborate, man. The few games that aren't are usually niche Japanese stuff like Zero Escape of anything by Vanillaware.

>tfw no true sequel to Ninja Gaiden 2 ever
>>345015186
Razor's Edge was alright.
>>345015245
No not really
>tfw you thought Devil's Third would be the real NG3I had more fun playing D3 than NG3 and RE
>>345015245
I played it on Wii U, couldn't finish more than half the game because of how bad it was. I beat NG1 and NG2 on master ninja but razors edge was just too much rage.

Hey, you have a Wii U. You'll probably like Wondeful 101. I hear it's good cuhrayzee.

Wait, you didn't finish it because of the difficulty? I found the trilogy got easier as you went along.

I dunno if I'd call a lot of indie games niche considering how much "air time", if you will, they get from popular YouTubers.

Not the difficulty no, but I got infuriated seeing how different it was from the previous games I loved.

It's been awhile. I can only remember the one hit kill moves and shitty story refresh my memory.
