Never bought an indie game and may never buy one. I just haven't seen any that caught my interest. However, I recognize that they work for some, just not for me. I do reconcile with the idea that one doesn't buy a ps4 to play indies though they may fill a void. Problem is that void is massive at the moment which is why people are frustrated.

I think my biggest problem with ps4 is ultimately the lack of BC. I got a PS3 in the launch window too and while the "no games" situation was probably even worse, I didn't even notice because I was too busy playing ps2 late bloomers and even ps1 games. PS3 can't play anything but ps3 games so when there are no ps3 games incoming, it's just a dust collector.

Not a single one at any point has caught your interest?

Nope, not a single one from the ones I've seen. Maybe I'm missing something. Doesn't help that my favorite genres are widescale WRPGs, JRPGs and especially grid SRPGs (I'd give even horrible games in this genre a shot because they are so few and far between. I'm still debating buying a 3DS for Fire Emblem Awakening. Problem is I haven't seen anything else I'd like to play on it).

Not a fan of indie games at all. There are a few good ones like Shovel Knight, but I'd rather play the games it's based off of than it itself. Indie games don't interest me, a lot try to be "artsy" and therefore no one can hate or dislike it as a game, it's all just BS.
I mean seriously, some people get off to them as if indie games are the second coming of Jesus XD

Actually it does have an effect.

Heck, Sony is  using it a distraction from their lack of games library. Do you really think that if a system was successful purely on indies driving it, that the moneybags behind it will feel the need to pump money into bigger projects, possibly risking failure, when they can just pocket it? They will pocket the money as bonuses or shift it to other departments.

What a load of BS, so you think Sony is going to keep spending millions on staff at all there studios to not make games because a few indies which they dont make much money off are selling 50 k on PSN???? LOL no just no, they make all there money on the big AAA games that sell like destiny, COD, etc... Sorry your post is BS, Indies have no effect on AAA developmenty.

I may have been the most solid indie backer. V'been promoted Don't starve, fantastic holitne Miami, Flower, Fez when nobody even know such game existed.

Fantastic indie games exist. I consider Flower to be the best universal game ever created. Hotline Miami being my favorite game of all time.

But let's face it, 99% of indie games are pure SHIT. Indie hipster deserve a huge slap on the mouth since they hype each every new project even the most shitty one like monkeys.

I really don't like indies for one reason. They ruined the PS vita.

So much truth in those words.

No, sony ruined the ps vita. They don't even advertise it and don't care about it..

Too many people to reply to....... so i will just say this............

My post history shows that i have never given a toss about indie games for the most part (and could happily get by completely without them)

Secondly, i love it when some folk say "it's only because sony have more indie support" as the reason as to why i dislike them, hang on a minute, there were a TONNE of sony fanboys last gen who completely dismissed indie games when Microsoft fans would bring them up as proof that the 360 still had games coming out for it late in to its life (talk about a bunch of hypocrites)

Sorry, but this has to be said, (many) sony fans are by for the worst when it comes to changing the playing field in order to suit thier own agendas.

hilarious coming from the troll who said "That's all ther eis to play on ps4"... Please, you don't fool anyone.  Sorry, but you are changing the field, look in the mirror. Ps4 has more AAA games then x1. Stay on topic troll.

We shouldn't be here discussing PS x Xbox fans, but about indies.



3DS, Wii, PSP, Vita, PS2, PS3, PS4 & Steam.

You're an idiot, Sony ruined vita, indies had nothing to do with it.

While sony do have part of the fault, I still think that Sony did not just abondon the vita. A few weeks ago I saw an article on how sony will lower the amount of AA games for the console. Most people on the comment section agreed and said they needed only indie titles on the console. I think sony saw this and said why should we make AA games for the vita when indie titles bring us the same amount of money. Therefore indie titles have led to a lack of AA games.
