Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

    I'm now at the point in every Phoenix Wright game where you get penalized for not presenting a contradiction in the exact way they want you to, even though there are multiple ways of doing it that make perfect sense.

    Also, I seriously hate the way punishment works in these games. You're allowed very few mistakes, and fucking up can mean losing an hour or more of gameplay.

    You can save any time you want by pressing start.

    I could have sworn that only creates a temporary save? Like, when you save, you have to quit. And when you reload, the save is deleted. I thought the only "real" saves were the ones between major parts.

    i have bad information retention, by the mid point i had forgotten the begining and so on.

    What was that about? How the indie scene needs to undergo a reform?
  • Vann DirasVann Diras Registered User regular
    it's mainly the bit about game events being in ny, la, etc

    like maybe it's because i'm used to art scenes by this point but like, yes. often times to break into a scene you have to be around and actively participate in it? or like i guess i don't see why it's so upsetting that there are hot spots in the indie games culture where a lot of people who participate in that culture live

    it's like the cliche that if you want to be a fine artist, you had better move to new york. sure it might help, but it's not even remotely the only way and the idea that if you're not in new york city you can't succeed as an artist is a buncha crap. this seems similar

    and then the jab at bioshock at the end just made me roll my eyes so

    whenever somebody posts an excellent piece like that and there are reactions wherein vague, unoffensive dislike is expressed this is basically how I see it

    and then the jab at bioshock at the end just made me roll my eyes so

    it's upsetting because not being able to participate in events that take place in large metro areas like LA, NYC, SF et cetera is a huge roadblock that stands in the way of recognition and achievement

    and if you're not lucky enough to live there already, and you don't have the means to move there

    then i guess you're just fucked, aren't you?

    i don't understand the alternative being proposed here, though. have those events everywhere? that'd be great, and i'm sure if you asked anyone they'd love for that to happen. but there just isn't the infrastructure or demand outside of those areas for that to be feasible. otherwise there would be events happening in those places already

    or do you just want those events to not happen? that also seems backward to me

    and like i said, no. no i don't think you're fucked just because you don't live in those places. just like i don't think i'm fucked as an artist because i live in indiana.

    I kind of stopped caring once he starting making pretty weird and reaching statements about how games have to try to make some sort of deep point to be considered good, and then accused the indie gaming scene of being classist and racist and then makes a bunch of silly criticisms like how success requiring networking within the industry/scene/whatever is a bad thing and offers no actual solutions to this perceived problem.
