when it became clear that a game would sell better and would be critically praised if it was "a project about something" rather than just by being a fun game. there are notable exceptions, but they are few and far between

sadly, even with their generally low quality, some indie games still end up being better than a lot of AAA titles

They are. There is almost no innovation in other games. Most original or niche games I played recently were indies,while other developers will make normal fighting games RPGs, shooters or platformers. Indie games like dustforce, antichamber, dwarf fortress, nimbus, gods will be watching, papers please, don't starve, risk of rain, monaco, gunpoint, audiosurf, transistor, space chem, nightsky, etc. offer something different

>>
>>255931374
when indiefags felt they needed crowd funding to make their low effort games.

indie games made from devotion to an interesting idea are usually passable, ones made for profit typically aren't.
it's like the local guy who opens a sandwich shop because he's knows how to make good sandwiches vs the guy who fucking stinks at making a sandwich opens a shop just because people in the neighborhood are saying "boy, i'd really like a sandwich."

The reason for making the games are different now, and the do suffer because of it. To say otherwise is just denial.
>>
>>255943135
Wait, you don't get to play as the riot police? Fucking lame.
>>
>>255943146
I never said that. I'd definitely accept a solid new definition of "hipster" if there was one that people agreed on. You can just fucking say that indie means artsy just because a bunch of people on the internet use it that way, though.

>>255943135
At least you can also play as the police force, right? Or does the rioters cause change to something else if you're not controlling them?

There is, if only you cared about watching the trailer. You can be rioter or cops.

Look all those kickstarter games (Crypt of the necrodancer, FTL, Shovel knight, Papers Please, The way, Terraria, etc). "Pixel", "retro", "Amstrad or NES style", its always the same shit.

I wish the indie scene revitalized the PS2/Gamecube time with Cryengine instead of just making pixel graphics all the time.

Do you know that you can walljump on a single wall by double tapping the directional button while walljumping? Finding that out made the game much less frustrating for me, as did using the sword. Also you haven't seen true frustration yet.

Minecraft and Greenlight.

The indie zone went to shit when every half-ass incompetent "developer" saw Notch and figured out he can make lots of dosh by making a shit game that's not even playable. All he has to do is put it up on greenlight and label every flaw as "art". Keep it "minimalist" and pixelart to avoid putting in any effort. Shut down every criticism with either "it's only early access!" or the eternal "what did you expect for 5$?" card.

There is no reason to be upset. For every 20 shitty indie games there's one good gem which wouldn't have existed were it not for kickstarter/greenlight/whatever.
