@djsumdog@drq@lost_enchanter@pastecat Bastion was meh IMHO. It was good at the beginning, but it fell apart towards end. Though it was a nice looking game indeed.
Narrative games imho should take some example from games like Disco Elysium or Baldurs Gate 3 which is not a narrative game per se, yet as it is a D&D game does the narration well.
@lost_enchanter@pastecat@drq No, I don't want "a new Assassin Creed". Thank you for degrading me. I would love a game with intelligence and long life...
@drq While I don't agree with "depofessionalization" (stupid, shit termin, made up by big corpo-rats), I do find that due to using AI to create games and overall lack of experience/time/funding (choose one or choose all) many indie games lately are crap. If those people would work harder or work together even to create better indie or B, A, AA level games, it would be a great improvement. So sad that there are just a handful of star level indie and solo game developers.
PS: I also blame RPG Maker for dozens and dozens of indie RPGs that were made in last few years that look same, feel same and only saving grace of their may be the plot, but many of them are pretty much straightforwardly same - you are a hero/party of heroes, go save the kingdom.
And while you or any other may find my critique harsh or cold, I have been playing games for 30 years. Hundreds of games.
@pastecat@drq Quantity side is not always the quality. There is more games released than 10 years ago by solo and indie teams? Yes. Do all of them have skill and/or creativity to actually create a game someone would pay 1-3$ for? Very few.
@kaia Just imagine some dude was hired by Google to take a camel, strap a camera on its back and take it across the desert to take panoramic shots... wild
The most significant downside of the mastodon and so-called fediverse is that it has no users. Itโs just me from millions of accounts, and to prove that iโll now post this from all of them
