Why does /v/ hate indie games so much? They're pretty much the last refuge of artistic integrity between the broken, focus group tested AAA blockbusters shat out annually by UbEActivision and the sea of mobile skinnerbox shovelware with no more depth than a slot machine. Sure the twin stick shooters and walking simulators get old after awhile, but that's the surface pondscum of indie. Today's indie game is yesterday's groundbreaking console or PC game. There's no room for innovation in today's multi-decamillion AAA space.
I personally like indies and have a lot of admiration for them but I think that people here are critical of:
a) indies' glaring lack of professionalism, e.g. failing to meet deadlines; not apologizing for anything/making excuses (bugs/glitches, high prices, etc); not disclosing personal relationships which may lead to a perceived corrupt favoritism among investors, journalists, etc
b) obnoxiously pretentious, holier-than-thou attitude, re: social issues, obscure art/film/history knowledge, work ethic ("making a game is hard work I do this 90 hours a week by myself")
c) blatent contempt for their audience, see above but also gamers are entitled, gamers are immature, piracy is wrong, etc
d) constant moneygrubbing (kickstarter, indiegogo, patreon, paypal donations, etc) with relatively high revenue for a perceived lack of value being produced (3.3 million...)
d) most importantly, the quality of games produced by indies is often subpar when compared with the mainstream, or even with games released decades ago.

The fact that indie developers are such douchebags really ruins any respect I would have. It seems like all of them have art school degrees and would look down on someone like Toby Fox.
>>345109415
dont generalize
some indie game are good
lots are incompetent trash
indie clique from andfran is a circlejerk of talentless sjws with their own journos and award shows and even real indie devs like mcMillen despise them

to be honest with you senpai, new vegas itself stole many of its concepts from fallout 3 mods.
Metroid Prime is nearly 14 years old.
Primefags turned into the whiny nostalgia babies that they used to make fun of.

Don't let your dreams be dreams, anon
Have they even shipped physical copies yet to those who foolishly backed this?
>>345108484
3DS, Vita versions are nowhere to be seen as well. They're likely cancelled. Deeply ironic considering that the 3DS acted as a huge bottleneck to the entire project.
>>345108727
Yes, I played it for an hour because I got a code, I just want to get my copy to sell it.
I have no experience with the Souls games. I can't even get past the first part in Bloodborne. What am I doing wrong? Can't help but feel this was a bad choice to start the series with.
learn to parry

Ha, I understand that image.
>>345108003
Grind, learn to dodge and attack, learn your enemies movements, it'll come to you eventually.
When did you realize you were too old for /v/?
For me it was when fucking overwatch and pokemon go got popular.

Please do leave
NMS will get boring in a week.
No terraforming or building like Minecraft/terraria (which would fit perfectly into this game) means all there is to do is discover planets. If you have seen 10 of them you have seen em all.
This game is a river that is a mile long but only an inch deep.
I want to turn a planet into a military base, maybe turn some planets into barren wastelands from all the mining, attack other people's bases if I ever come across one. This is the one game that would benefit from building and crafting but nope, just shitty hiking.

What are the first thing you're going to do boys when you get in this game.
I'm going to find a waifu and create a biodome of twisted creatures as I set up genetically modified soldiers and make my own pirate fleet to take over the galaxy.
>>345107158
idk no one's told me what you can do in the game
i understand that it's elite dangerous?
ITT games where you commit genocide
>Tropico 5
>Search all houses
>Kill/Banish anyone from France, Spain, or Italy
>Civ V
>Declare war
>Rename/raze enemy cities I conquer, enslave their workers, and kill their troops
>Age of Empires
>Goal is more or less kill people of different colors
>Masters of Orion
>Destroy world of races that piss me off
>Pikmin
>Kidnapping and throwing people (relative to their world) to dangerous animals
Also, why do we do this? When we are given power why do we kill, or at least dock over, a selected 2nd class?
