Now, whether I find them exciting is another thing altogether.
I forgot about BF4. I guess I misspoke. But, the only ones on that list I would consider AAA are KZ, CoD, BF4, and AC IV. Sports games while are technically AAA due to their sales and development budget, I personally don't look at them as AAA games. Driveclub is a new franchise so I wouldn't conisder it AAA.
I guess what I consider AAA is "Best of the Best". CoD and BF IV are obviously that, as is Assassin's Creed. But, I don't know if people consider KZ in that group. As for sports games, I don't care about them same as with Skylanders. It may be fun, but it doesn't interest me.
Part of my frustration is that three of the release titles are shooters, and only one of those I am interested in (KZ). Two are sports games that I'm not interested in. I do want to play Driveclub. Then there is Skylanders which I neither like nor dislike. I've never tried it, but with having extra stuff to buy outside of the game, I automatically have dismissed it. And for AC IV, I have only played the first game so I dont' want to jump in this late into the series. So, Watchdogs was filling a gap that I thought the lineup had. It was a game that was fresh, new, and was going to have a long play time. Open world games tend to last a while for me.
I understand that the lineup is meant to appeal to a wide group of people and it does, but right now I am not one of those people. Which sucks because I already have my system, games, and an extra controller reserved. Now, I guess I will play KZ for about a week or however long it takes me to beat it, play MP until I get tired of being destroyed because I suck at MP, then wait until Spring when all the good games start to release.
