kupomogli said: Indie devs are overrated. A lot of the highly praised titles really aren't that good. Super Meat Boy and Retro Boring As Hell City Rampage for example, but then you got some of them that are actually extremely good, with more examples, games like Jamestown, Cave Story, Bit.Trip. games and (from what I've heard,) Torchlight, as long as you're into the genres . The name indie for indie devs also makes no sense. Large publishers like Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, EA, Activision, are indie devs while most indie devs actually aren't indie devs. |
I really liked Retro City but I tend to agree with you. Most indies stink and self publishing is going to make it really hard to sift through the crap. Most of the "indie" games I've enjoyed are in fact not indie but just have the aesthetic like Walking Dead, Journey, and Flower. TRULY indie games I liked I can count on one hand.
