Don't you mean to say that Xbox fans used to go on and on about indies, but the sec Sony saw the value in them and started REALLY pushing them (without the crazy restrictions MS put on them), now all of a sudden indies don't mean anything? And the way Sony is actually advertising them in PS ads and at large conferences, yes, they do matter. No one said as much as AAA games (nice strawman there), but they do matter to core gamers, the ones actually paying $399 for a new console. Which is why most PS4 fans/owners laugh their asses off when people from other fanbases try to claim it has "no gamez." I guess those 10.2M+ owners are playing practically nothing. Also, ridiculous point about price. Of course cost factors into reviews, it always has. Most indies are much smaller than AAA games, in world size and game length/content, which is why they cost so much less than bigger budget games. It's expected. You wouldn't see a game like Rogue Legacy trying to pass itself as a $60 game. Or do you not think people should expect more from big budget games they pay $30-$50 more for and has staff numbering in the hundreds/thousands? Of course, many of these indies still provide just as much fun, and usually more innovative gameplay mechanics, as their AAA counterparts. |
