gaming Are you into indie-ish or AAA games?

[The Historian 516]

Both! I don't know why that seems so... strange to some people. Indie games are fun, reminiscent of the days of yore and by god, there's a lot of goodies to be found! But I also like AAA games because some works just need a big budget.

I don't really care how big the studio is as long as they make good games. I like indies like Chucklefish, but most of the time I don't even check who makes the game. Some devs i'm skeptical off like Ubisoft, Activision, and EA , but if whats in the game is good, I'll play it.

Definitely indie games! It's fun to see all the love the devs put into the games and I feel like indie games tend to be more personal and have better in-jokes/easter eggs. 

Only problems are that they can be more prone to glitches, or there's less information about them if you need help.

AAA games suck. they're all just easy, uninspired cash-grabs. the only AAA game i ever enjoyed was FIFA 14 but i was like eight years old, and eight year olds aren't that difficult to entertain

But these indie are best of the best. More than a half of games are abandoned and a lot of released ones have the same issue as AAA. A lot of developers actually want to just quickly make a shitty game, make it popular on YT and grab money

I believe good:bad ratio is higher for AAA than for indie

My sister-in-law works for AAA. Does that count?

Well of course you should read/watch reviews before getting any indie game.

A lot of indie games have a unique charm to them, that make them stand out in ways Triple A games simply can't.

Or I might just be convincing myself of that since my current PC couldn't possible play any Triple A game since 2000 :L

I play more indie games. Mostly because AAA games are expensive as hell and more often or not, I don't have any fun with them. Indie games are also mostly compatible with lower end PCs, so they're easier to run and I don't have to worry about my computer specs not being good enough.

Back in my days, there were no Indie games. There were also no AAA games. Those terms were coined much later.

Want to know more of this AAA meaning.

I mostly play indie games. I think they're more fun and creative.

In general I'm not the biggest game anyway, but I also play Indie games
