Do you prefer Indie games or AAA games?

Mr. Psychologist · October 18, 2014, 12:34:16 AM

Obviously I mean high quality ones, not the swathes of indieshit minecraftzombieforgesurvival clones that flood the marketplace. And not polished turds either.

But as a general preference do you lean towards indie titles or AAA?

Indie.
I do enjoy some AAA, last one being Shadows of Mordor, but they are few and far between.

CIS · October 18, 2014, 12:56:04 AM

I generally lean towards good indie titles.

Why yes I have been playing it. It's a huge improvement on the first. And that's a good question I'll PM you my steam info.

Yay!
Someone with similar tastes. And I agree with you about LoG2. Loving it so far.

Naoto · October 18, 2014, 01:33:02 AM

I guess I don't really see a difference.
A good game is a good game.

I enjoyed Transistor as much as I did Infamous SS.
I"m as excited for Hyper LIght Drifter as I am for Pokemon/Persona Q.

Indies have a lot more quality in terms of content rather than quantity so I prefer them .

BaconShelf · October 18, 2014, 08:00:03 AM

AAA. Apart from stuff like FTL and Prison Architect, I like my FPS and RPG's.

Mat Cauthon · October 18, 2014, 08:27:57 AM

I don't know.
The newest game I have (that I enjoyed) is Dragon's Dogma and that was a small title by a big developer. (Capcom)

I rarely play games now anyway, with other things taking up my time as well as no online play for the outdated consoles I have.

Ásgeirr · October 18, 2014, 08:31:32 AM

Indie i suppose. Or the middle ground, it really depends on the publisher. I dont buy EA/Ubi games and may not even play them at all, like the AC's after 2.

The Waifu Master · October 18, 2014, 09:40:09 AM

Good games are good games.
I'm just as excited for KH 2.5 as I am for Binding of Isaac Rebirth.

PSU · October 18, 2014, 09:46:14 AM

AAA games all day

Rinev · October 18, 2014, 10:02:49 AM

I like both. I like AAA because most are polished and are popular for a reason. I like indie games because the developers take more risks which in some cases can make an amazing game.

Compared to all of the indie games out there I would say that they are. If you are leaving out all the shitty Minecraft rip offs and similar thing then it would be different.

You're joking right?

Look at BattleField (4?) and Mass Effect 3, AAA games that had shit for polish.

Yeah, I should have clarified that I was talking about all indie games.

I guess AAA. Are the Arcade games on XBL considered Indie games? I play a lot of those, I love Limbo and Dust: An Elysian Tale. I also enjoy stuff like The Stanley Parable.

I believe those are all indies.

BrenMan 94 · October 18, 2014, 02:28:21 PM

Mostly AAA. Some indie titles are fun for a while, but most indie games don't excel at longevity.

big dog · October 19, 2014, 06:22:12 AM

Mainly AAA. AAA does have the problem of capitalism fucking everything up, but then the Indie community is full of pretentious dickbags (*cough*philfish*cough*) with only a few decent gems among a pile of shit.

I have to say, some of my favourite games have come from Indie developers <.<
Ones that I think 'God damn this is a great game, 10/10 would literally play until I get RSI' (And do >.>) But the sheer amount of garbage you have to sift through to find them is genuinely offputting.
