While I hate AAA as much as I do, indie games really don't get shit on enough.

There's a lot of great, phenomenal even, indies out there but good fuck is the ocean of slop you have to sail through to find one wide as fuck. Theres also a lot of good enough indie titles out there. This thread isnt about them.

Post your indie dogshit non-recs so anons know what not to buy. With all the indies out there, help an anon decide what not to buy.

There's a lot, A LOT, of really shitty indie games out there. Gachafags can become an hero for all I care.
>>
>>743853424
That's a pretty big fucking question, anon. You can go through your discovery queue right now and find 12 shitty games, they're not worth committing to memory.
Should confine it to a single genre or something next time.

>>743853424
I think the indie scene is about to collapse with all the AI slop flooding the market. Going on steam looking for hidden gems may as well be scrolling through the dall-e General we had here
>>
>>743853424
I fucking love Blasphemous so much bro
>>
>>743853424
They are expected to suck though. AAA studios are a complete opposite on the other hand. Even if they shoehorn some woke dogshit into their games, you at least expect good game mechanics, but nah, that is not their thing anymore.
>>
>>743853424
I was actually thinking about this yesterday. Around a decade and a half ago, there were some indie titles that seemingly everyone owned or at least knew about. Aaaaaaaa reckless disregard for gravity, Gish, world of goo, etc. And they’re actually unplayable by today’s standards. I don’t believe any of them hold up, unlike other games that are as old or even older.

How did those games manage to be so well known and culturally relevant when others didn’t?
>>
>>743854505
They managed to be fun, despite everything else
>>
>>743853424
Are we saying Blasphemous is bad? Is that the troll here? It sort of works, the idea does make me mad and I'm replying to the thread.

>>743853424
I was hankering for a good metroidvania and tried this only to find out it's parryslop.
>>
>>743854683
Yeah, its the 6/10 game I genuinely just disliked because I thought it really missed the mark on a lot of stuff, but also can see how some anons might be able to enjoy it.
>go into game store
>see Blasphemous
>ask man working ther if it is good metroidvania or 2D soulslike
>man looks at me confused
>pull out my chart and explain the difference between metroidvania and 2D soulslop
>man smiles, "Its very good metroidvania"
>go home
>play game
>its 2D soulslop pretending to be metroidvania where the exploration unlocks are only for exploration and dont provide anything to movement or combat
>essentially keys but with platforming

Its dogshit.

>>743854064
Aw sweet, the entire industry is gonna collapse!

No you don't.
Indie titles don't have the budget or the clout to rugpull you like an AAA popular developer game published by EA before anyone is aware they gutted the dev team and replaced them with trannies.

Indies depend solely on word of mouth eventually pulling them into streamer view where from their they can pivot into popularity. They literally have to be good to succeed.

Everyone and their fucking mother WARNED YOU that Blasphemous is more of an art piece than an actual quality game. Everyone, Every single fucking person who has ever played it said
>God I love the artwork but man is the game bare bones.
If you didn't enjoy it enough that's entirely on you, you absolute retard.

What? Its got some of the worst pixart in vidya history.

Are you saying Blasphemous is shitty? Are you retarded?

>Are you retarded?
Well, I don't see how that's related.
>>
>>743855167
>6/10
>it's dogshit
people like you are the reason ratings are meaningless
anyway, if that's really your main problem with it, Blasphemous 2 has the standard double jump and dash upgrades you've seen a million times before in metroidvanias
>>
>>743855167
I died to spikes more than I died to actual bosses and enemies. Way to out yourself as dogshit at the game.

I enjoyed Blasphemous more than that dull slog Ori & The Blind Forest
>>
>>743856841
Mcdonalds is slightly better than the average burger, but should it be recommended? How many burgers would you care to critique before deciding on Ronald's? Even if its slightly better than the majority of burgers, it still tadtes like slop.
>inb4 food analogy

Blasphemous was truly a disappointment. This is why I don't buy Metroidvania indies now. Fuck off with that souls-like faggotry.
>>
If I play this game and it turns out to be good, I'm never listening to /v/ again.
>>
>>743857618
>>743855167
It's not even really all that souls like aside from the checkpoint system and gathering your blood stain.

They just really didn't focus on making the key items work in the general game play in favor of a lame skill tree, which also isn't really souls-like.
>>
Loved Blasphemous so much
>>
OP is probably mad that his favorite game (Silksong) is literally a tranny game now
>>
>trannies out of nowhere
*yawn*
>>
>>743857687
You should never listen to /v/ to begin with since most of the board is occupied by seaniggers.
>>
>>743857618

This >>743857961

Blasphemous' problem is the cancer that H*llow Knight inflicted on metroidvanias
>>743853424
Any anon on /v/ that liked Webbed should never play or buy the Isopod spinoff, it's fucking trash from a gameplay standpoint and that's not even considering it's a 3 hour game with a cutscene to gameplay ratio of the average Sony over the shoulder movie game that's also blatantly unfinished in the game's last hour of gameplay
>>
Anyone ever try Necesse and Barony? I keep seeing them pop up in sales for really cheap and they look kind of interesting, but I'm not sure if I should get them
>>
>>743853424
wdym the ecosystem is fine for shitty indies, they release fall on their face and get filtered
the problem with shit AAA titles is that they hire a bunch of pr, pay off journos, critics and rating sites as well as try to socially shame people into buying their games (you didnt buy shadows? you must be racist; well yes but thats not the point the game also just sucked)
Video game journalism was killed by AAA trying to control it
