Sam998 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d0mm2k8 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Tripwire Games are an awesome indie developer. They're only on PC but you should check them out with Killing Floor and Red Orchestra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E.A.B. Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrpain Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Indie games are losing their creativity. The last indie game I remembered was Braid. But I love Plants VS Zombies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

''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.

Moth Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 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! Formerly known as The General Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arvis Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 If you have played few bad indie's doesn't mean they all are bad. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't recall any, though. 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. . 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.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noun Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 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.

Aussiebushmatt Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 '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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anus Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimpso Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Working on my own indie game for about a year now, http://www.indiedb.com/games/clive-and-the...ancient-bunnies A PSX style platformer, and no I've never heard of Crash Bandicoot or Spyro The Dragon.... Looks good man I agree with what Mati said last page, they get boring after 30 minutes. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
