Doom 2016 is the standard modern AAA titles should be held to
With all the shit being thrown at Bethesda and EA lately I've been thinking about what in my mind a AAA title from a major developer should be like, and after a lot of thought I really can't think of anything better than Doom 2016.
- Delivers on promised content
- No pay to win or core content locked behind paywall
- Actually fun content designed out of passion, not forced out for $$$
- Well optimized with minimal bugs
- Levels are well paced without feeling drawn out or grindy.
With that in my I have zero issues with games like Fallout 76 or ME Andromeda getting absolutely roasted by the community. There's just no reason a modern title should be plagued with as many bugs or run so poorly with the budgets and technology top companies have at their disposal. If a game doesn't have the polish of Doom 2016 or close to it I'm out.
