"Indie Games"

So on the XBL Market place recently I have been browsing the Indie Games section because they're all only like a dollar. And after getting the game Poopacolypse (look it up, it exists) I decided they needed their own topic.

Tripwire Games are an awesome indie developer. They're only on PC but you should check them out with Killing Floor and Red Orchestra.

Most independent games suck ass

 

Tired of hearing crap like 'creativity flows when the big suits aren't on your tail''

 

Uh-huh. Most of it is sh*tty Pong or rip-offs of old games. The only good games are throwbacks to the days of yore. And very rarely, you might get a game that innovates/is a true Gem. Rarely.

 

I can't recall any, though.

Poopacolypse is the biggest spark of creative genius to ever hit the video game industry.

 

I accept your apology.

Indie games are losing their creativity.

 

The last indie game I remembered was Braid.

 

But I love Plants VS Zombies!

How about actually suggesting a game without sarcasm? Seems like you make a topic to support indie games, but then contradict it by suggesting a game that obviously is not worth even looking up.

Are you strictly talking about gaming when referring to the comment I just quoted?

VERY few.

 

Have you ever browsed through the indie section on the LIVE marketplace?

 

f*cking awful. ''HURR HURR CAN YOU HANDLE TWO AT ONJCE

 

DURR BABYMAKER XTREME''

 

It's funny, but not worth a god damn penny. Especially some of the absolute trash they make, like 'mood rings' or whatever.

Yep

 

The argument has basis, but not all the time

I didn't know the situation with indie games on X360 was so bad.

Really E.A.B., your going to base your argument that indie games suck, on only the ones that are on the live marketplace?

Have you tried steam or PC indie games in general? You have no accuse for saying your computer is not good enough to play them, since most of them are not graphically intensive. I'll give you 3 games that I have enjoyed on steam, magicka, zombie driver and nation red. All of these are indie games, and they are really fun. There is also the big one, though I have no idea if it should still be classed as an indie game, MINECRAFT!

If you have played few bad indie's doesn't mean they all are bad. wink.gif

Just few great examples are:

Amnesia

Super Meat Boy

Minecraft (I somehow don't like it too much, but many people do)

 

bam: that looks awesome! Levels need some more small details tho, like some trees/boxes/stones etc

Yeah, because most indie developers can spend millons on their games. GTFO please.

No, thank you.

 

It's not about the money. Suda51 made Killer7, which has very cheap production values. But the game had an intriguing story and likable characters/music.

 

Super Meat Boy is another good example as well.

 

My point is that not all indie games are the bastion of creativity like people like to parrot off. I've seen plenty of trashy indy games.

 

I will admit, though, that I have been overly critical of the ''genre'' as a whole. You guys are right. smile.gif. I can't really defend it.

 

LIVE marketplace for the games sucks ass, though. And if independent also includes those flash games on newgrounds, well....

I agree with what Mati said last page, they get boring after 30 minutes.

saying "all indie games sucks" is a invalid arguement really since they are made by differan dev's who focus on differant things

also i will agree with you that indie games on xblmp suck there all trashy games throw together in half an hour or minecraft rip-offs... but some great game companies started out as indie devs like dice and bungie.

'I MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MBIES 1N IT!!!1' is actually very, very fun and it's 4 player so if I have some guys round and they don't feel like playing FIFA/Halo/CoD or watching one person play Fallout, we just have a few games of that! It's like Dead Ops Arcade on Black Ops, but much, much better.

The reason why I don't like most indie games is because I'm not a fan of platformers or games with an isometric view.

 

If more indie devs brought out games with full 3D view, it'd be awesome.

Not true. The thing that keeps most people playing indie games is the fact that they are addicting. I've racked up 30 hours on Terraria in the last two weeks just doing random crap.
