I'm calm

I really can't understand how you can put ports of old games that used to be top-of-the-line games with biggest budgets for their time and indies in the same bucket. These are two totally different things for me. Is Jak & Daxter Collection an indie game for you?

I know that would be my best bet, but I'm just gonna stick to the second best one - buying big games, thus doing my best to support devs making big games for Vita. That's why I plan to buy Batman next week and Spiderman... whenever I find a copy I'm not gonna be wasting this money on smaller games, cause that would impact my purchases of bigger games. My budget isn't unlimited and there are other things than just games to spend my money on I have to choose something and I choose to support big AAA games, cause I want more of them, not more of 5-10 times overpriced indies.


That's my point that you seem to be missing.  There's a middle ground between a title being "AAA" and being "indie".  Jak isn't AAA nor is it indie.  It's somewhere in between.  

It's a shame you feel that way about indies.  I can understand where you're coming from but personally, I think western third parties are terrible at making handheld titles.  Although there's good stuff mixed in there like Rayman & Need for Speed, the majority of it is more like rubbish ports of Spider Man; lifeless entries like Batman and filled-with-issues games like Assassin's Creed.  Personally, I don't find such titles much fun and would rather not support them unless they have a bit more effort put into them.

(Japanese third parties seem to be the only bigger publishers who understand what makes a handheld game good at put the time and effort needed into them).

Anyway, point being, indie games are hit and miss but the ones that hit get things really right, and I'm not going to ignore them just because they don't have enough of a budget for my liking.  I'd rather have fun playing a cheaply made game than have a rubbish time playing something with more money invested.

But, I don't think I'm going to change your mind about this, so I'll leave it there.
