| Veknoid_Outcast said: I appreciate where you're coming from, but I think independent games aren't very different from big and medium-budget titles -- there are great ones, there are good ones, and there are a bunch of bad ones. I think a healthy video game diet should consist of big-budget blockbusters, mid-range titles, and small, independent games. On a personal note, I find myself being drawn more and more toward indie games. As a group they are refreshing, especially in an industry so focused on "AAA" experiences, bloated advertising budgets, and overproduced games. |
More or less the same for me....
honestly i'm kind of sick of AAA games. In an effort to appeal to the biggest demographic, they're all seem very samey.
A lot of indie games are simple clones or copies of something else recently popular...
but quite a few do things differently.
It's essentially the only place to get a true "Sandbox" type game in the style of Sid Meyers Pirates! anymore... and depending what you consider Kickstarter, the only place to get Isometric RPGs anymore either. (I'd argue games studios make via Kickstarter in fact count as Indie games, even if they have had games published by big developers... because the funding for the games are indepentdent from big publishers.)
