The time and money being used to develop these games are not indicative of the shit they're putting out though. I'm at the point where I'm thinking this shit is just money laundering. There is no way these AAA games being put out now are taking 5+ years to fucking develop and they aren't as good as previous gen, story wise (which is is subjective, fair enough) but also from a technical and graphical stand point (which is objective).
