That Guy said: The low budget title would be the equivalent of the independant movie. A developer hasn't invested too much money into it, so it doesn't have to worry about losing as much money. With out the huge risk, the developer can make a super-nontraditional game, throw it out into the market and see if it sticks (a non-traditional game like Warioware for example). |
and thus the wii and DS success is born. Alot of low budget companies are trying their hand at wii and DS games, and youd be amazed at how good they are, but you have to give them a try. you cant say, "well that game looks dumb, and the company is a no name, so im not gonna even bother wasting a rental on it." if you do that, you will miss out on some of the best games of this gen. i do alot of renting and will give most any game a try, particually when i run out of renting the bigger name games, thats when i really start to do some hunting for the under-the-radar games. are alot of them jank? yes, but like you said, you try enough of them (just simply put a few bucks into renting) and you will find plenty that are easily at least worth the few bucks of the rental, and some that you realize are great MP games, and some you realize you simply have to have because they are solid games all around.
A delayed game is good someday, a bad game is bad forever.
