Honestly, people talk way too much about "indie games" compared to what they are worth.

I think most people don't like hearing about "indie games" so much..

Just don't buy the damn indie games if you don't like them.. It's not that hard, people!

I completely agree with you. That's why I don't buy them.

I play indies on my PC, where there are far more for cheaper and (at times) significantly better.

I'm not anti-indie, but indies can't replace mid-tier games.

I think the only thing he's right is that he's an Xbox lover, so indies will always suck... until ID@XBOX comes out, then, look, MS supports games, yay!

So... my other opinion is that gamers complain about everything in a way that I don't understand their point. "Another shooter? bah", but when a alternative game comes out it won't sell because it doesn't attract gamers. Consolidate names on the market like God of War, Marios and Gears of Wars will always have their space, but new games have to fight really hard toa barely survive in the industry.

Hey, I'm not saying everyone should LOVE all the indies and make them priority. They are like AAAs, some of them are good, some of them not, but they are a nice addition to diversity. Complaints about indies existence makes no sense.

I never understood the way you guys think.

There were no indies in Xbox 360? It didn't start last year let tell you that.

Xbox live arcade, started with OG Xbox. That's 2004 for ya.

I mentioned ID@XBOX, then I'm referring to Xbox One. I don't want to debate further then that. MS did nice additions with the Arcade, but also tried to limit indies on Xone, and PS said "welcome".

But again, the point is that indies are welcome if they are good games. I don't like Minecraft, but if people enjoy... What's the problem?

They don't that's the point, indies haev nothing to do with AA and AAA games, that's why bashing them is incredibly stupid. Indies being there or going away has ZERo effect on AA or AAA games. More games = good period, and there are some really good indies.

I never said that they are trying to replace them, I was referring to the OP where it was mentioned that indies are essential due to AAA dtudios closing. I'm saying that indies don't even come close to replacing them.

95% (if not more) of indie games are nothing more than 1-2 hour long mediocre fests with no replayability whatsoever.

I think people have a right to be pissed if they have laid out £350 for a ps4, and the only thing they currently have to play on it are indie games. (taking in to account infamous can be platinumed in 10 hours & Killzone was a flop)

The same can be said for so-called AAA titles (except for the length).

Of course people have the right to be pissed. Doesn't mean them being pissed is right. I paid the same amount of money for my PS4 and I am thoroughly satisfied with the amount of games, AAA, indie and whatever other level you want to ascribe to a game's development. There are plenty of great games to play right now and in over 20 something years of buying and playing video games have I spent so little and had so many great games to play. These comments are coming from a certain subset of gamers who have no perspective or taste if you ask me.

Same here, but they've been giving me cancer for a long time
Don't worry though, the best sign of someone that didn't actually buy a ps4 is when they say "i bought a ps4 for cellphone games?". It's just people on the other sides trying to downplay the King. They know negative word of mouth worked against other consoles so they are hoping it'll also work against the PS4. But they can keep dreaming.

Who is this King you speak of?

Why do people think all indies are 8-bit 2d platformers?

Pretty sure Project CARS is an indie game, for instance.
