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.

    Minecraft is amazing if you lose your job.

    But yeah, most of the really big indie games are anything besides personal. The conversation surrounding them overall may be short, but that goes for big budget games as well. It's not like every big budget game is bioshock infinite. Most are like borderlands 2, fun but not real deep.

    I wonder how many hours have been spent remaking sprites in minecraft


    ten million hours spent on recreating eight bit marios

    I love the early stages of starting a minecraft map

    the frantic struggle to stay safe during the night time, armed with nothing but a sword made out of twigs and hiding in a small shack/ in a lit bunker undergronud

    once you scale past the threat it loses my interest, though I love seeing what others can do

    I actually mostly just watch one dude walking to the Far Lands in an outdated version of the game for charity.

    He's raised over a million dollars for Child's Play just walking west in that game for the past two years and he likes to talk about a lot of interesting topics, from space, government spending, bullying, etc. and it's also really sweet to watch him slowly become more comfortable with his introversion over the series.

    quite a few people would argue that bioshock infinite is also fun but not real deep

    I think I still have an absolutely goddamn amazing Ghibli Minecraft world saved around here somewhere

    It's got the bath house from Spirited Away, the Castle in the Sky with a working switch that explodes half of the place, Totoro's tree, Howl's Castle, etc etc

    Was a real treat just walking around that map

    I was going to edit that last line to say "even approaching deep or personal", but I think you get what I mean. Not every big game has a lot of artistic merit thematically, but they do fine. I'm seeing the same thing in the indie space.

    probably about as many hours as have been spent endlessly circle jerking over which games are actually worth talking about and which games are "fun but not deep"

    The week I tried to get into Dwarf Fortress was like looking into the closet of a crazy person. How does anyone find the time to do all of this amazing but complex shit in these games? Even terraria was way too much for me.

    just gonna take a moment to mourn this game again

    yes, it would've been shit

    but it would've been a gamma world video game and it could've maybe prolonged the most recent iteration of the tabletop game if it came out and ;_;

    Unfortunately since WotC pretty much wrote off 4e years ago when they switched their team around to people who decided it wasn't old school enough, that seems very unlikely.

    I would gladly give someone my money for a grid based, 4e turn based strategy game.

    I have no definitive statements to make on the quality of video games at this time

    The studio that was going to make the gamma world game went on to start making a game based on the cable show Lost Girl, and then got closed down with no fanfare.

    I haven't really been able to get into Bioshock Infinite

    The shooting just really doesn't feel all that great to me

    I'll probably give it a few more chances though

    This sounds pretty interesting. Considering he seems to be on episode 246 I don't think i'll go back and watch them all, but from watching the latest one I think I would enjoy it.

    Thanks for bringing it up.

    Like basically I think people are too quick to link to critical articles about games rather than just speaking in their own words

    I don't care if this other person can articulate it better than you. I don't interact with them on a message board.

    You played it and found it flawed? Fine. You tell me the flaws that you think it had and how it diminished your experience.

    there's a tendency when certain games (or other things) get praised a whole bunch for the people that don't think it's as great as everyone else does to just...sound completely dismissive of any positive opinions and not really say why until they're pressed on it

    and I can see why, since I assume they've explained why they don't like it a whole bunch, but it can still be irritating
  • Death of RatsDeath of Rats Registered User regular
    Bioshock Infinite was one of my favorite games of the generation, but it has some pretty big flaws that could bother people. I don't see how someone could say it's bad, however.
