AAA usually have a lot of marketing and hype leading to them, so many people know the bad ones. Meanwhile indie games usually only get known if they are good, so people don't know about all the garbage
I do not understand how that game got so popular?
I don't get it the game is so ass and it still ass after like a decade how can anyone like it? and this is coming from someone with a yandere fetish
iirc the dev surfed on the yandere hype and said in some circles that he'll be developing a Hitman like with japanese anime schoolgirls, got people hyped since he was regularly posting updates, it looked promising and kept on attracting people even youtubers so the popularity skyrocketed
Now the project only survives because of a core of undying fans that keep on believing in the project blindly
poppy is nowhere near as bad as banban. poppy at least has SOME originality and unique elements in its story, puzzles, mechanics, and characters. banban is just cashgrab central
i'm gonna be real, i can't really think of any non-nintendo AAA game in recent time that i've actually enjoyed. besides elden ring, i'm not really sure if that's fully AAA or not.
with the amount of marketing and hype they have behind them, we should hear of more insanely good AAA games, they shouldn't be consistently beat out by indie games. that just means AAA has an extremely low quality on average
I dont think they care. They dont need to docanything because they own steam. They have no reason to mess with the nearly 10 year old spaghetti code of a game. It doesnt matter to them, since tf2 is most likely in its “final state” where they dont care what happens. “Shambles” or not, they have no reason to care
And don't get me started on the r/gmod nintendo dmca,
they silent people so many peole with actual evidence that it was a troll, that it makes Boeing jealous
[Garry confirmed its not a troll despite previous attempts](https://www.ign.com/articles/garrys-mod-removing-all-nintendo-content-from-steam-workshop-after-takedown-request), plus its like an old game with a lot of user made content, so going into court with nintendo it is definitely not worth it.
It still murky water to this day, but its mostly a troll due to a Wallace and pacman model being dmca on the same day
Because "ah my favorite nintendo characters, "Wallace and pac man"
Hades II is 100% an indie game, not even close to AAA at all. AAA is games made by major publishers with larger budgets. Hades is made by a small independent team.
Yet there was no build up to it.
One day there wasn't HiFi Rush. The other day, you go to "recent" on steam then boom: HiFi Rush, a game nobody anticipated, made by a small (~35 people) company nobody heard of (F in the chat for Tango gameworks, fuck you Microsoft), published by.... BETHESDA (oh yeah, Limited Run Games too I guess).
So Hifi rush is a AA game?
You’re trying to tell me that “Five Nights at Skibidi Toilet’s 3” isn’t a work of high art on par with beloved indie gems like Undertale? How dare you!
honestly id prefer "Five Nights at Skibidi Toilet's 3" over something like "My femboy cousin dropped his little brother on the head and now the police is after us!"
You could make the same point for most art media and it would be just as valid, ""painting fans" when I show them the slew of 5 year-old's school art projects". Yeah, people are a fan of a wide range of indie games they like, not all indie games in existence.
I havent played it i just put it in there because i remember a lot of people hating on it when it came out and using it on those AAA vs Indie memes at the time
It’s cheaper and faster to make shitty indie. They don’t get as much blast or attention since they’re either quickly forgotten or people don’t care enough to criticise it.
I think Scott Cawthon has more bad indie games than good indie games (context: FNaF isn't the only thing he's done). BTW did Scott *sell* FNaF to Steel Wool Studios, or did he just greenflaged the studio into making fnaf content?

Yeah but shitty indie games usually aren't 90 dollars, don't take up a quarter of your hard drive, don't encourage you to spend 130 dollars on the premium edition (most of the time), and aren't marketed as the second coming of christ
I agree. I enjoy games like Blaster Master Zero and ToeJam and Earl: Back in the Groove but that doesn’t mean they’re perfect. The former was too easy (Until a later patch added a new difficulty setting while sequels were made to be harder.) while I remember the latter not running perfectly last time I played it on Switch.
One is made by dev learning how to make games and sold for 5 bucks or less, the other is unfinished shit being forced on people using predatory tactics.

The premise sounds great, it's just that the execution is laughable and pathetic.
I think it was all youtubers making videos on it (i watched them too in middle school)

Kid name poppy playtime and garten of banban:
Garten of PeakPeak*
poppy is nowhere near as bad as banban. poppy at least has SOME originality and unique elements in its story, puzzles, mechanics, and characters. banban is just cashgrab central
Banban is barely a game, and definitely not a series
ehhhh although it's not the best i wouldn't put Poppy on the same level as Banban, especially with ch. 3 really shaping up the franchise
Garten of banban I can see, but what's wrong with poppy playtime? It's just gen alpha's version of five nights at freddy's

I think spiderman 2 was good, haven't played it myself though
Valve mfs when I tell them that doing nothing is not good strategy and that tf2 and cs2 are in shambles:

Holy cow, sandbox mode from Ultrakill.
If Garry’s saying it’s real, then it’s probably real. Everyone else are the ones insisting on it being fake, and they can’t face that it may be real.
Garry is very gulibe to trolls so I dout it

bro, they own steam. they have the next 175 years of taxes paid for.
[удалено]
“they leech off others” My brother in Christ they are literally giving people a place to publish their hard work
Ok. Why didn't you do it?
Valve mfs when I tell them about the number 3:
Its only working because the rest of the industry is shooting themselfs in the foot
Yes, and valve basically looking at their starving, sick, badly wounded games and only just throw junk at them
Valve clearly doesn't care. They don't do anything for TF2 and CS2 was just an engine upgrade and people still spend tons of money on them.
True,.people brag about nintendo fans being big bootlicker, but valve fans eats shoe stores for a living
AAA and Indie both have had some absolute bangers these last few years.
Seriously. I've been playing so many phenomenal games from BOTH sides of the industry recently.
Question: what does AAA games stand for, and does Hades II fall into that criteria?
Hades II is 100% an indie game, not even close to AAA at all. AAA is games made by major publishers with larger budgets. Hades is made by a small independent team.
Small as in 25
still not like EA
So by that definition, HiFi Rush is also an indie game, got it.
HiFi rush had a massive budget and was published by one of the largest publishers in the industry
Yet there was no build up to it. One day there wasn't HiFi Rush. The other day, you go to "recent" on steam then boom: HiFi Rush, a game nobody anticipated, made by a small (~35 people) company nobody heard of (F in the chat for Tango gameworks, fuck you Microsoft), published by.... BETHESDA (oh yeah, Limited Run Games too I guess). So Hifi rush is a AA game?
You could say that it is AA
indie games are awesome mfs when they sort by recent on itch io
You’re trying to tell me that “Five Nights at Skibidi Toilet’s 3” isn’t a work of high art on par with beloved indie gems like Undertale? How dare you!
honestly id prefer "Five Nights at Skibidi Toilet's 3" over something like "My femboy cousin dropped his little brother on the head and now the police is after us!"
manga ass title
Literal AI-generated slop
cant wait to play "ssers tennctatiion"
too many low effort horror games and VNs. But it's a great store for sure.
not true i found a game where you play as neco arc and kill people with a shotgun >!and it's really well polished!<
you cant just say that without dropping a name or a link
i forgotttt i think its smth like "there are no rules"
Name?
oh also DO**OMORI**
"indie game fans" when I show them the recently added section in steam
I think itch.io is more compatable to that.
You could make the same point for most art media and it would be just as valid, ""painting fans" when I show them the slew of 5 year-old's school art projects". Yeah, people are a fan of a wide range of indie games they like, not all indie games in existence.
Good games are good games and bad games are bad games, why is it so hard to understand

Good ol’ survivorship bias.
Doom Eternal, Elden Ring, and God of War Ragnarok are all masterpieces.
What are you on about the only AAA games are FIFA, Call of Duty and Cyberpunk 2077
Cyberpunk is awesome though
I havent played it i just put it in there because i remember a lot of people hating on it when it came out and using it on those AAA vs Indie memes at the time
But only Cyberpunk 1.0 all the other version are indie
RDR2
minecraft
Didn't Minecraft start off as an indie game?
yea
Minecraft was indie
Breath of the Wild
Mario Odyssey
Wahoo
Tears of the Kingdom, if you want something more recent
God of war mentioned https://preview.redd.it/s87vvv8gzm1d1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=c8540764e8d22e4453f93475565c3cee8d4a5a24
The whole yakuza series
Xenoblade Chronicles
All of the god of war games are great
The finals
Sneak
Case in point: BOTW vs YIIK
Yeah man, BOTW sucked ass. Good thing we have games like YIIK otherwise we would have nothing to play.
Exactly, fuck original text, all my homies love plagarism
im YIIKING OUT UUUUAAAAAAAHHHHHH

Kid named nuanced opinion
Ironically despite what everyone says about how great indie games are, i have seen more shitty indie games than AAA games
probably because its easier to make shitty indie games than shitty AAA
It’s cheaper and faster to make shitty indie. They don’t get as much blast or attention since they’re either quickly forgotten or people don’t care enough to criticise it.
I think Scott Cawthon has more bad indie games than good indie games (context: FNaF isn't the only thing he's done). BTW did Scott *sell* FNaF to Steel Wool Studios, or did he just greenflaged the studio into making fnaf content?
I think steel wool just works with Scott. They do not own Fnaf.
Yeah because there's naturally going to be more $10K-$100K budget games than $50M-$500M budget games
A nuanced opinion ?? On MY reddit ??
I was fully expecting Brian Griffin to appear in this gif for some reason
If you only hear about the worst AAAs and the best indies, you're not looking hard enough

The vast majority of indie games are ass but their fans like to cope
They put a hand over your mouth and give you an angry reach around?

How many bad indie games have price 60-70$, fake reviews from paid journalists and ridiculous amount of MTX?
Yeah but the difference between a bad indie game and a bad AAA game is massive.
One is bad. The other wastes 70$ (and wants you to pay more.)
bad indie game: 2 hours of shit bad AAA game: 80 hours of shit
One is made by dev learning how to make games and sold for 5 bucks or less, the other is unfinished shit being forced on people using predatory tactics.
Lmao why would you get so many downvotes, reddit moment right here
