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...

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.

Have they even shipped physical copies yet to those who foolishly backed this?

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.

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.

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.
