I know they are only making a silly joke but “three genres” is exactly why I have a general distaste for indie games. Card games are lame and resource gathering/crafting sucks.
There are thousands upon thousands of indie games with neither of those mechanics…
I am now imagining a happy future where all indie games star Harrison Ford searching for lost treasure in some way…
“play your card… to put this in a museum…craft the arc of the covenant… randomised tombs…”
wait a sec this could be great I’d better write this down and never make it like all the other game ideas! :)
LOL, love it.
It sounds like you haven’t had much exposure to them? In order my last 5 played indie games are: -4 player coop rock climbing -Cozy Horror game where you’re alone doing menial tasks in the Swiss Alps, there are also aliens -Oldschool roguelike adventure -Shoot goblins and cultists -Logic puzzle akin to Minesweeper
Yes of course, how dare I have my own opinion.
I must have just not played any of the indie games in my Steam/GOG collection and instead made it all up.
I’m not getting on your case here, I just think you may not have exposed yourself to a wide variety of indie titles. If your opinion is that independent studios are worth dismissing because I don’t like that some of them follow gene design traits, it’s a fair conclusion.
We’re living in a golden age of indie games right now, painting all of them with the same brush is doing yourself a massive disservice in my opinion.
I have played several indie games, there are a few I like but for the most part they are all pretty samey. The article was tongue in cheek silly as was my comment.
But instead of accepting people have differing opinions or could possibly be having a laugh. You appeared to immediately jumped in to tell me I’m wrong.
So now you are going to put words in my mouth too, neat. Why don’t you just go ahead and tell me what my opinion is since you seem to know it so well.
I play games that I enjoy period. the article was silly good fun which was the spirit of my comment as well but for some dumbass reason you decided to get offended.
I also don’t like most AAA games either, I know what I like and I’m not going to virtue signal to get fake internet points.
