Nowadays games are either:
hecking wholesome indie pixel art kawai game made by 2 guys
200 gbs soulless AAA game made my company with thousands of employees
Where did medium-sized games go? They were more common in the 7th era
Nowadays games are either:
sex with the girl on the left
expedition 33
have you heard of expedition 33
anyway expedition 33
small games today are what medium-sized games were 20 years ago
Played it for 6 hours and I could not get past how boring and bland the art style and level designs were
Unreal Engine is unironically killing games
Cool story bro.
Except without the quality or creativity
Goku would kill Makima easily
I've just played an indie game where your protagonist is sent on a suicide mission with a detailed health system, so i drowned in a puddle after losing consciousness because coagulants i took made blood too viscous after bloodloss caused by internal bleeding i've got from landmine shrapnel. He was whimpering, throwing up blood and begging to end his suffering all the way through.
No, i don't think all of them are kawai wholesome.
complains about no AA games
"here's an AA game released less than a month ago"
"n-no, not like that"
makima fucks dogs
They still exist. Whether you care for them or not is another thing.
Didn't read because you posted anime
you're wearing nostalgia googles or larping as a boomer.
holy BASED
Because it's not good
Art style looks like any Unreal Engine game
Level design is hallways with little to no exploration
Cutscenes are way too fucking long
And the combat is way too easy and simplified
Name one single indie game that's actually creative and isn't yet another direct copy of a popular indie game
Or better yet, if it's a copy, it should be different enough to make it stand out
peripateia
It's in early access, so I haven't played it myself. If you're being honest, I'll take your words for it
Sounds like a you problem and OP is still btfo
True. My problem is having good standards. But you do you
Chivalry 2
Divinity Original Sin 1 & 2
Earth Defense Force
Disco Elysium
you do you
The game is a commercial success
Adam Sandler movies are also commercial success, and so are capeslop movies. So that must mean they're good
Name one single old middle-sized game that's actually creative and isn't yet another direct copy of a popular game
Or better yet, if it's a copy, it should be different enough to make it stand out
I dare you faggot.
Prototype
Just saying 99% of people are content with their AA games and it's a you problem, not the other way around

Against the Storm
Equivalating people's opionon on something subjective vs a fact
Yep you're retarded, go outside and get hit by a bus.
big if true
Someone's mad
everyone is wrong except me
This is why you'll die alone and a virgin
AA was a gamble for publishers, so now only fuckhuge publishers that haven't been priced out of AAA push out giant games
Yup, everyone is wrong except for me
Enjoy virginity
oh my, if it ain't your classic tpp action slop. How is it any different from asscreed, just cause or other shit? It adds unique mechanics on top of the generic gameplay?? Whew, just like my modern indie slop games!
bait
I see you're just a disingenuous attention starved retard. Carry on, you got me to reply.

Crypt of the Necrodancer
Superhot
Shady Knight
Fight Knight

muh creativity muh copies
Bitching about this amuses me because people ONLY target indies with this when gaming ALWAYS had copying and following trends. Most of your favourite games were "copies" or "clones" and not fully original. And it's not actually a bad thing, as that's how game genres actually became a thing. We used to call every shooter a Doom clone.
rage
Part 2 sucks
People don't buy AA. As much as they proclaim they will they don't. There might be outliers but the data shows they don't buy them to sustain them. The video game industry and the movie industry are similar in that they have this same problem. They use to be popular before but somehow got phased out as time went on. Will they be able to recover such an old business model? Doesn't seem like they found the right way to make it happen even though the bloated budgets and development time say they should.
What kind of genre do you like? I can hopefully try to recommend something you'd enjoy.
