| SvennoJ said: You can wait a year or two and pick up any AAA game for peanuts with the bugs ironed out and don't worry about the extras, you don't notice anything is missing, nor do you notice you get anything extra. The only reason to play AAA games day 1 is because it's fun to exchange experiences with other people playing the game. That's hard to find with indies and playing older games. My problem with indies is, it's hard to find the gems. And most of the time I just want to relax with something familiar. |
I guess you nailed it.
AAA games get far cheaper a few months down the road. Indie games on the other hand are sometimes more expensive than what they offer, because even though we have incredible indie games like Journey, we also have a lot of rubbish, specially 2d plats that are far from being innovative.
Besides, sometimes what we want from a AAA experience is exactly the familiar format. I don't need fancy food everyday, sometimes chocolate doughnuts are just great. Many would rather just play 300 hours of the genre/format they like than spend 30 hours in a bunch of different innovative smaller games. That's why there are still many that buy a console just for one single game.
Plus, as you said, it's not easy to find indie gems and every time I look for them I find platformers, platformers and platformers and I'm sick and tired of 2d platformers.
God bless You.
