| Seece said: I've only seen 1 person vote up Earthlock, and No Man's Sky looks fucking amazing. Just because it's an indie doesn't mean it can't be a great game. |
What looks so amazing about it? The graphical style? The details we've received, it's a gathering/survival game with fps space ship shooting. The parts in the ship, the little snippets we've seen in the gameplay trailer really don't even look very good. Or how about this part....

...If you watch the video I linked above where I started it at, the ships that are destroyed just disappear instantly as they're destroyed. Like they just turn into nothing. I'm betting that even if the game does some things its going for well, it'll overall be a poorly developed game that's not that good yet gets massively overrated for nothing more than it's graphical style, which if people aren't voting on it because their favorite games are gone so they just knock out everyone elses favorite games, then they're probably voting on it because it's graphical style and nothing more.
*edit*
And I didn't notice it before, but Below is another indie game on there. Watching a video of that, it's looks like the developers thought how they could develop one of the most generic hack and slash games ever created and then hype it up like it's some kind of amazing game by doing a bunch of interviews. There's a reason the games sell for $10, and it's rarely because they're these amazing mind blowing games that everyone makes them out to be. Some games are good or even great, but 99.9% of the indie titles released, even the high profile ones aren't anything more than okay or playable. Everyone overrates indie games because they're by a small group of people. Whether i t's by one person or 100 people, that doesn't change the quality of the finished product. Same thing whether the game is this good for $10 or it's this good for $60. Value doesn't change the quality of the product.
