@aus_pride adblocking will cause that, it seems.

@Kasheall @hiverious wait what, I had whitelisted Gamespot. Thanks for making me aware that Adblock started blocking it again!

Videos don't play for me on Chrome. Is it a browser issue?

@Thunderstarter @Gelugon_baat @Nightrain50 Rebuild 2.0 is quite an amazing movie in its own right. It somehow managed to create a balance between tones that are both Lighter and Darker than the original series and offers some really wonderful character and world building moments.

@snova9308 You could also try Indie gaming as well? Support smaller devs that take the risks you want to be taken by the industry today.

@DEATH775 I was going to say Titanfall is coming to PC as well, but given it is a multiplayer game, I'm not sure that would solve your problem D:

For those mentioning you should never pay for a beta, I can understand the reasoning. That isn't stopping it from becoming more and more legitimate as a business practice. Minecraft was a huge success, with people buying into Alpha and Beta to save money. Kerbal Space Program adopted a similar model.

And now Steam is offering a similar avenue to game developers with Early Access releases. It's an interesting way to gain additional funding and have the community weigh in with suggestions and bug reports.

I think it's wonderful that devs even have this option, even if I may not decide to spring for the beta.

@the_big_doggg @hiverious What exactly do you mean by good game? Do you mean a slick, bombastic, experience? May I direct you towards Hawken then?

Perhaps you're interested in sales numbers? Then maybe Minecraft is more your thing. Obviously, if it's more popular it's better, right?

Critical acclaim? Hotline Miami, Ridiculous Fishing, Fez, Braid,Super Hexagon, FTL: Faster Than Light and The Swapper say hello.

Great, tight controls and challenging gameplay? Super Meat Boy.

A game with amazing production values made by one person? Cave Story

Subversive and intelligent puzzles? Antichamber.

Excellent combat? Chivalry : Medieval Warfare.

What about what quite a few people consider to be one of the best horror games made, Amnesia?

Now let's get to the games that aren't exactly indie but aren't also what one would call mainstream:
Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Bastion, The Walking Dead, Serious Sam, Psychonauts, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Torchlight and Torchlight 2, Journey, the first Painkiller. Are these games also not good because they weren't mainstream?

Perhaps you could look around at the non-mainstream games on offer before making ignorant blanket statements about games that don't have millions and millions of dollars pumped into them to make them exactly the same as every competing game.

@the_big_doggg Good games come from both the mainstream and indie scenes. I'd say you're missing out, but taste is a personal thing. Still, need you look back over games such as MoH: Warfighter, Aliens: Colonial Marines, DNF and FFXIV as reminders that the mainstream isn't infallible?
