what do you call people who absolutely loathe the big budget games everybody talks about like anthem, halo or call of duty but love popular indie games like hollow knight or binding of isaac? a mainstream hipster?

People with good taste that shit all over contrarians such as yourself.
ayo where's the king's gate
I guess most of it has to do with the fact that games are used as an accessory.
A hipster might buy hollow knight, play a few hours, and leave a glowing review only to shelf it and move on to the next hip thing.
They don't play games to have fun, they play them to belong to a group, and to fit in with an identity they have made for themselves. They say, "I'm not a mainstream loser who buys big budget games, I play cool underground stuff from the little guy!"
Or maybe they're a journalist who wants to get clicks from the pc crowd, with a game that covers hot topic issues, like with celeste.
I'm not saying that indie games are bad, but many of the people who advocate for them don't even play them. And I think that's a shame.
Contrarian faggots
I liked this one
Someone who has given up judging games on a case by case basis.
What do you call a retarded australian OP who makes the same thread over and over?
t. something I made up in my head
Pretty much
>many of the people who advocate for them don't even play them
What kind of retarded cope is this? Is this you trying to make yourself feel better because you don't like indie games by convincing yourself that nobody likes them really?
Look at the achievement numbers for a game like hollow knight. Absolutely amazing reviews, but only some 15% have actually gotten to the first ending.
It's literally the same for any moderately difficult video game, indie or not retard.
This
You're a hipster for not enjoying absolute slop?
People who don't like FPS.
Patricians.
post of truth
the dumbasses who don't get this are literally social retards
>29% of owners haven't even opened up the fucking game
>45% haven't gotten to Hornet
>70% haven't gotten to ANY Dreamer
>98% haven't let Zote die, despite being the easiest achievement to get in the entire game
>playing for achievements
kys
That's clearly not the point of his post, dummy
These achievements are more of milestone markers than cheevos, playing through the game normally would get you them.
a gamer
Maybe people just like good games? Anthem is shit and Call if Duty turned into a microtransaction hellscape.
Letting Zote die requires a second playthrough if you are naturally drawn to battle the Vengefly King. Too much effort for some.
>start new game
>use newly acquired knowledge to breeze through the crossroads
>beat the shit out of false knight
>zipline to hornet and kill her too
>use retard helmet to bash your way through fungal wastes and get mantis claw
>zote status: dead
Is it really too much?
