Ex: Comparing tv shows with 1-2min clips (clips being Indies). Not everybody wants to categorize all of it together


That's a pretty terrible analogy, and this is the problem I have with it.  

It's more like comparing films.  Say, comparing Godzilla to, I dunno, The Artist.  Aside from genre, what are the differences?  They're both films.  Something that you could go and see at a cinema and later came out on DVD for you to watch in your home.

One has a big budget and is developed by a major studio; the other has a small budget and is developed by some small French studios.

Gaming is moving forward to a point where bigger titles will continue to exist but they'll be fewer and farther between compared to the smaller stuff.  In previous generations the line was blurred since everything got a retail release (mostly at full price too) and smaller titles which would've been downloadable games nowardays were not.

And the only reason I'm making such a point about it is because you make so many threads in general, but particularly ones over the last few days, where you're using Metacritic as a measure but then throwing games which aren't "main" out of the window.  Such as "top rated 3DS/WiiU/Vita exclusives (but not indies)" and now this.  I just wish that I could change your mindset about this for future threads.

(I also have issues with how you define "indies".  Downloadable =/= "indie".  In many cases it does, but that's a generalization; not a rule.  But that's an argument for another thread/day)

Ok fine if i do add indie games is there any thats new this year on next gen only? (with an 87+ aside from towerfall)

I don't know!  I don't spend much time on Metacritic.  You're the one doing the research :P

I'll leave it alone after this because I've said my peace, anyway.
