Indie Games vs AAA Games 2

AAA Games: What if you could spend money on hundreds of variations of microtransactions?

[Nobody_Special]

Yeah, but...
what if you tidied up a house...
with a gun?

[ShinoSarna]

C'mon, you're not fair. Indie games ALSO do "what if you have a gun" but 20 dollars cheaper and with no microtransactions!

[plastiquemonk]

somehow the indie games where they give you a gun are more creative too

[ZachShults]

Indie games just have such a unique feel. It brings everything back the the core of game design, making a good game. Not focused on money, time constraints, just accomplishing a good game with its own unique style.

Indie Games:
What if you were an Immigration Officer and had to check papers?

What if you had to help people survive in a safehouse in a war infested zone?

What if you had to defend your crops from weird mutated creatures?

What if you had to make a journey along with your dog through a flooded town?

What if you had to clean weird places such as a House where a massacre took place or a lab where some horribly Weird experiments took place?

AAA Games:
What if you had to pay 20$ for this lootbox?

AAA Games: What if you had a gun? | What if you spend your real money on random chance? | What if you watched a movie instead of playing?

AAA games: what if u had a gun

Indie games: what if u had a gun... And were a dwarf?

haha, that made me smile Clemmy.
Almost all of those AAA's we saw in showcases this month were based on gun-combat as usual, even the very disappointing Starfield (which I hoped would be so much more).

But let me play devil's advocate. There are amazing AAA's like FF16 coming, and great AAA's already out like Horizon Forbidden West and Elden Ring. Those games are very creative, very enjoyable, ... and they are in the small minority of AAA games.

We followers of your channel obviously love the "best indie games" because they are very creative, very enjoyable ... but I would argue that they are also in the small minority. When I look through the weekly Steam releases, I am really only interested in a few releases every week: maybe 5-10% of the games coming out on Steam. Most Steam releases are absolutely not worth our time: the proverbial 'shovelware'.

So my response to this video, playing devil's advocate, is that the ratio of interesting games to uninteresting games is the same whether it's AAA, AA, or indie. 10% or less across the board. That's still an immense amount of interesting games -- more than I can play!

AAA : Games what if you had a gun

Indie games : *WHAT IF YOU ARE THE GUN*

[adiveler]

eh, Indie shooters are more fun than most AAA!

[weiteiler]

And then Nintendo:
What if you were a little Itallian traveling on a hat?
What if you woke up in an medieval world overtook by a giant beast?
What if you were a pink ball who can swallow everything?
What if you were tiny and had little creatures to do everything for you?
What if you were a space soldier hunted by robots?
What if you mashed all these characters together in one big fighting game?

[P_OFFICIAL]

We still had some AAA gigachads like valve or... Do you know another good AAA devs?

Indie: “ we want games to have different genres and new ideas “

Triple AAA: “ every games is an fps shooter me love gun, gun shoot bullets me dumb “

[Razzlethegreat]

Missed opportunity to put aaa games : what if you want to play this game with pay to win Microtransactions and a unfinished game
Indie : our game is finished and cheap with no Microtransactions

[neros]

First person shooters is the most famous game genre out there so its easy to make a live service or e-sport out of one, no wonder many aaa developers make them

[mn-blbt]

Btw there are a 1000 indie boomer shooter, escape the room, platformer, soulslike indies as well
The only reason these same ideas game dont come to spot light and these samey
AAA Titles do is because of their big marketing budget and that's it
It's dependent on developer to developer

Hey what if you played Pentiment by Obsidian?

[NEmrahHD]

What's the name of the house cleaning game?

[TheAbyssalWasp]
