I did say that some of those games have good sides. But they are NO WAY 9/10. No way in hell. Even if you make a game with perfect gameplay... with NO sound or graphics that can't possibly make that a 10/10 game. That simply defies logic. Ergo while some of those high rated games you praise are not bad they simply look like turds and it's 2013 so any kid with a PC could design it better. That's a fact. Being lazy or trying to be "hip" by making it look sloppy (or a mix of the two) is simply insulting.
I like Indie games but I look at them as I look at any other games. I also realize that I could write tetris over a weekend and Mario bros over a month (some could do it faster). And games like Intake or Angry Birds or even your Antichamber fit the space of Phone/Browser and perhaps even social games on facebook. Those are not SERIOUS games. Face it. Take off the pink glasses and face reality. Not to mention that again, games like Antichamber are highly niche games which ppl who don't really like the idea presented by the game will find completely NOTHING interesting about that game. Meaning the game again is not legendary because there's only a narrow group of people who can actually enjoy it. And that's by design.
If you want an ultimate Indy experience, instead of going with the "Indie posers of 2013" for mindless sheeplings who are lying to themselves they're hip and support "the devs" by playing Indie games, much as an iTool thinks he's unique and special because he has the same iPhone as all the other sheep. Then you should try some old school games. Maybe some Abadonware if you want. You'd learn sth about the history of gaming (And I do play games for couple of decades already) and you'd know that Indie is how games used to be made, by small group of people, hell, even by one dude at college over weekends.
And you'll find much better games than this fake crap they release today for the Fake-Indie Sheeplings. Incidentally if you compare the rating of games that have reshaped the history of games two decades ago you'll see that current Fake-Indie Turds, with graphics sometimes inferior to those (from artistic perspective and at times even from technical) scored LOWER marks on Gamespot.
Out of this World was one of the most unique Indie games made by one dude. That was over TWO DECADES ago... And now you're trying to push some bs on me to tell me that THIS (Games from the list not Dead Sky) is supposedly Legendary because it plays on retro sentiments? Gimme a break.
Oh, too bad this game isn't: Indie + 8bit graphics + lack of gameplay + some quasi-philosophical out of mundane things like "make a jagged circle out of pixelated squares" + is on the level of most time filling BROWSER games...
Cause then, gamespot would give the usual overrated mark.
Clearly these guys tried in some departments but they can't match such masterp(o)ses like:
bit.trip presents runner2 future legend... (talking about failing at naming a game) - 9 The Stanley Parable - 9 Antichamber - 8.5 Angry Birds space - 8
Gunpoint - 7.5 Bleed - 7.5 Fist Puncher - 7.5 They Bleed Pixels - 7 Home - 7 Full Bore - 7 Little Inferno - 7 140 - 7
Meanwhile: Deus Ex HR ONLY 8(!)... oh well look above what's better than Deus frelling EX! How about Battlefield 4? Well guys, you should've tried better, surely your game doesn't deserve as much as some bit trip shizzle. Oh and you, Bioshock Infinite, we're gonna give you... 5! Haha! How you like that? Gameloid at it's best... just check any other game that actually had decent money, work and effort invested in... sorry dude, better make 8bit shizzle or boring "esoterical" games or even dull arcades like Intake or 140...
Not saying that those games from first list are worse than this one... but Gamespot rating is a running joke these days. I guess they want to send a clear message to developers: Hey guys, this is Gameloid, STOP making AAA titles... go back to making Indie games one can write in a weekend. Thanks. We at Gameloid are so proud to guide gaming into the right direction.
Anyway... I guess it's just that rating at Gameloid is just for laughs. They prolly don't even know math anyway :<
@d-man @shenhua1337 Try reading my post again, this time, use your cognitive faculties and try to grasp the meaning. During the task don't be put off by what appears to be impossible. If you put your mind to it I'm sure you can do it! Read it as many times you need until the meaning becomes clear. Like in an optical illusion - for some people just glimpse is enough... for others? Well...
@Kevin-V @shenhua1337 @jacquelineferre I'd say if the game made you so offended then it deserves some credit for that alone. Hence the humor you are disgusted so much about should be marked as a plus.
Keep reading my posts Kev, you might just learn something. Who knows, maybe one day you can actually write a decent review :) there's still hope for you lad.
@primeminister77 One has to be a tad arrogant creature to assume that everyone shares his sense of humor. Thankfully the world we live in doesn't have Mr Kev as the ultimate authority on what's funny and not. All he can do is lower the marks for the titles that aren't overly popular so there's not much outrage. I wonder what would happen if he whined like that about GTA or Saints Row... oh but those are untouchables. Uh huh! Legendary. Being racist shmuck is cool there... I'm sure the Gameloid sheeplings will come up with some kind of excuse to justify their hypocrisy.
