Wagner, I dont feel sorry for yoy one bit. This has been well known for a while before the systems launched for you to be able to make a descision. If you are having buyers remorse than you have no one else to blame. MS went after big names and that was their stragety from the begining. They never tried hiding it.


I hear you. I will probably use my Xbox One as a Fitness machine only after I get my PS4, but I really did not expect this level of lack of games from them, and I know I am to blame.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

Yeah, the first few are coming this month. The list of indie devs signed onto ID@Xbox is well over 100 now (I think close to 200 actually), ranging from small new studios to some very big name indie devs like Double Fine and Playdead. 

Indie support will only get better in the future, Microsoft plans to make every Xbox One console a dev kit and they plan to give every developer free access to a special version of the Unity engine designed from the ground up for Xbox One. 


I am happy to hear it, we will see.

For whatever reason, you get a bad rep for focusing too much on indie games. Indiestation 4... ugh.


Dallas Buyers Club is also indie. Brought in 6x its budget in box office and won three (maybe 4 oscars) and will probably make bucket loads at retail.

Early days man, the games will come. It's not like even the PS4 is swimming with indies atm.



 

How to Make friends In Dark Souls 3

I know it's not indie, but Crimson Dragon's pretty fun. It's also not classified as dudebro, dancing, peggle 2, or muliplat.

Indeed, and it looks like panzer dragoon.

Got mother fucking Titanfall, don't need indies.

On a more serious note, they are coming. In the meantime check out Peggle 2 and Brotherhood. I also hear Crimson Dragon is a lot better after a patch.

Yeah and there was 100 crap indie movies before it and will be after it. The moral of the story is that movie was the exception not the rule.

How many indie games are on the PS4?

How many are only being talked about and played? (And I mean played. Not tried for 5 minutes and put down)

No one is downplaying indie games. The problem is last gen they were just indie games. Now all of a sudden they are much more because they became a talking point for one company and then turned into a talking point for a console war. Even after that nothing has changed. There is a reason they are given away for free. There is a reason why very few become hits. Because the reality is most of them are not very good.

The X1 doesn't need indies. It has so many fun AAA games that it doesn't need to pathetically stuff its library with unfun indies.

360 had an amazing collection of digital games, hopefully the One will live up to it in the future.
