wouldn't it be better than hours and hours of repetitive garbage?

I can beat most games on my NES and SNES in an hour or less, and they're more fun than the garbage that's out nowadays.

You know that in the end the length of a game ultimately depends on how bad a player is right?

I know some guy can beat Gonna Paint Your Wagon in like 40 minutes, but I'll probably use the wrong brush, take 3 hours, and still have just as much fun. I'm not even sure you know what you're complaining about, probably just a stealth fuck indies thread

What are the other two games? This list makes me want to play them.

>You know that in the end the length of a game ultimately depends on how bad a player is right?

every time someone asks an Indie to develop a good game they say "Poor me I can't develop a 30 hour game because bla bla bla"

So they could do a 1-2 hour game right?

I mean Space Harrier. Fuck you, bayonetta, for confusing me.

Would you make a 1 hour game if it could just be refunded after people played it? Would you even buy a game if you knew it only lasted an hour? No. Idiot.
I don't disagree with refund policies, and I don't think buying a one hour game is a good purchasing decision, but this thread is fucking retarded.

Speaking of that game is it weird I remember it more as Opa-opa than Fantasy Zone because of the mag from PSO?

Nah the Master system version looked like shit in motion.

Looked? you are the guy who plays game based on youtube reviews?

>that image
I still play games from the 1980s today and I think indie devs frequently fuck up the idea of "retro style" graphics (that image with Super Metroid and an "indie" version of the same screenshot is right on), but those indie games are plainly better-looking than the MS games on the left.
>>
>>335014003
To this day I never played an indie game that had detailed/decent art

NES and Master System games are way better, not to mention SNES and Genesis.

Wouldn't a jew be trying to promote more expensive AAA games as superior? Get your memes straight you fucking mouth breather.
>>
>>335014363
Nah man, you can milk nostalgia fags dry with old vidya if you own a small store or something
>>
>>335014363

No because they actually spend millions on AAA games while hipsters games cost less than 50k and by receiving 9.5/10 reviews from hipsters they sell a lot
>>
>>335014421
AAA makes more money by far.

>Lazy 8-bit "artistic" feel

THAT'S THE MASTER OF JEWISH TACTIC

>wouldn't it be be better than hours and hours of repetitive garbage

>>
>>335014471
The developers and big studio spend 60-100 million and usually don't profit 2x that

Very few cases they profit 2x what they had spent, most of the time they even don't profit at all

>>335014537
I'd rather play Space Harrior on the Master System than any of the indie games
>>
>>335013058
>So they could do a 1-2 hour game right?
well if they're always complaining about being poor and makin excuses for everything then they probably aren't capable of doing that either

you aren't even allowed to make short games anymore, people will eat you fucking alive even if it is reasonably priced. Indies are probably too afraid of the backlash

you are implying IGN and destructoid are not going to give +8.5 review even if the game is worse than undertale

Curious
Is it possible to make pleasing 8bit graphics?
What poorly thought out elements make it lazy, what are people getting so wrong every time?

It's hard to get a straight answer out of /v/ because they can't distinguish between bad art and styles that don't fit.
