Why doesn't Yea Forums like Indie games?

Why are indie games all political?

Same. I can't even beat Nova.

Nova takes some doing; practice sprint-jumping over the lateral slashes. If you wait for them to come to you on the other side they're too tall to jump over.

> Political
Literally what indie games are you people playing? I play a fuckton of indie games and only a tiny minority have any political shit in them.

>played GV1 on 3DS back when it first came out
>too lazy to git gud, facetanked most hard obstacles and stopped playing after finishing the story
>few years later, bought the Striker Pack on Switch to play GV2 and give both games a proper shot
>finally got gud, 100%'d both games with all S/S+ ranks
>picked it up again a couple months ago because I felt like it
>I'm shit again
Why is it so tough to keep your skills in these games? It was depressing.

Thanks for the advice, I'll try it sometime.
Same.

Well, i like indie games, especially homebrew

Either they steal ideas from retro games for nostalfags or try too hard to be deep and artsy bullshit. There is a good middle ground, but you have to search more for it.

But I am Yea Forums and I love indies.

Because of

>Metroidvania meme
>General lack of talent
>Pixelart meme

Go away, and take your twitter drama with you.
I think Twitter has done more damage to gaming as a hobby than Yea Forums can ever hope to, even considering /pol/ is just Twitter's dumb cousin.

I finished the game. I just can't get consistently good ranks for shit.

That said, fuck this fight. I was stuck on it for almost a week and a half if not longer.

Why do you have to kill all the cute girls in this series?

The last hope I had for AAA games died recently so I've been playing a lot of indie games lately. some are really good, and the vast majority don't have any political opinions shoved in.
there are games with "soul" being released right now, you just have to look for them.

>But most indie games are "2 DEEP 4 U" or "EMOTIONAL WALKING SIMULATOR 20xx"
This js literally false. So you even browse Steam, or do you only get you gaming news from OneAngryGamer?

Because that's just tradition. Get ready for the spinoff game doing it too

I fucking love Gunvolt, but the English localization has so many changes that it just makes me hate it.

Hopefully Momocon.
These new bosses look pretty cool.

Keep crying bitch nigger.

I don’t. Most people who hate indie games are uninformed anyway, considering that indie is more of a blanket term than a genre.

By the way, this is Naga Rider. He’s a snake man in golden armor. Isn’t he cool?

What’s wrong with any of those

theres nothing inherently wrong with any of these. its just that the indie community circle jerks to these aspects and nothing more

boy gungeon sure had some political drama shit in there

underrail

I'm assuming you don't actually engage with the Indie community at all. Those are just Yea Forums spam points that convince the ignorant.

There's nothing wrong with games being art, but it is more the concern of the game designer than the consumer. When game developers don't think game design is an art, unique from illustration, music, and storytelling, you get games with derivitive mechanics that are highly polished. Or in terms you will better understand: The AAA game emvironment.

Games aren't art though. And that's a good thing

I think Gunvolt, and Copen in particular really requires advance knowledge of the enemy locations to do very well as being hit at all is so punishing (and at the same time not at all because of prevasion which should not be a thing at all even if you can turn it off). I think it would benefit a lot from a bigger screen.

I can't get past this fucker on hard mode, it's incredible how hard this game gets without skills and nerfed prevasion.

Attached: D1nA5EzV4AAcwZd.jpg (787x1000, 120K)

Looks like something that'll scratch my Black Isle Fallouts itch.

They need to make absolutely sure that Gunvolt continues to suffer.

Thankfully this looks set to continue in the next game where he has not only been cucked out of main character status but even looks like he's been brainwashed or some shit into a sword wielding villain once again proving Copen right all along

Literally made for femdom.

Kero Blaster did.

Gare are ALREADY art though. Some one is designing characters and worlds, someone is writing a story, someone is making music, some one is voice acting. ect.

trying too hard to make your game "art" is fucking cringe

Quite a few indie devs are unhinged trannies, but luckily most of the more successful indie games (ie Shovel Knight, Hollow Knight, Risk of Rain) don't have that kind of influence.
If you go looking for it you'll find it, though.

The relocalization of GV1 still had to keep consistent with all the changed names and terms from the first localization. GV2 was still localized by the same people who initially did 1 (though at least with no cuts this time) and it's also fairly liberal, though not as much.

>(and at the same time not at all because of prevasion which should not be a thing at all even if you can turn it off)
Once you're trying to score attack the stages like the game really wants you to, the existence of prevasion doesn't matter anyway.

>I think it would benefit a lot from a bigger screen.
Switch version lets you see more and I'd say it's enough with the way the enemy placement is designed.

it's amazing how early indies like Iji, cave story or an untitled story still hold up with how much soul the creators put into those games

You misunderstand me.
I'm saying Tetris is a greater work of art in terms of game mechanics than Gone Home, which pales in comparison to its forebear Myst.

I think games are art, and their artistic nature comes with the mechanics/activity than the elements around it. Not to deminish visuals, music and story: One of my favorite games is Killer7. I just think something like Dustforce is a greater piece because its mechanics are excellent.

Kanna ruled this place for a week, hollow knight get nothing but praise, Shantae comes every time something smash related is shown... are sure you have not just took a meme at face value like Dante being dense to all sex related acts?

>Kanna
What's that? I don't remember this.

Did you reset every time as soon as the first resurrection happened or what? The battle moves on once she resurrects a second time.

Why do so many indie devs go for metroidvania, anyways?

Exactly.
I thought you had to wait and she'll lower herself down or something.
It's a miracle I got a true ending on that considering how badly I observed stuff.

>Inti's work with Might No.9 is better recieved and does more justicw to the concept than Might No.9
>They're still trying to make Beck work despite what has happened.
I am both impressed and filled with pity.

Want to hear something both awesome and depressing Azure Striker was made from and by people who worked on MN9 and had already finished their part in the game. Imagine that the appetizer was better than the main dish

>They're still trying to make Beck work despite what has happened.
Beck worked in MGB. I doubt Inafune will ever do anything with MN9 again, he should give the IP to them so Call can be in the next Gal*Gun.

Remember when MN9 was going to have a movie and TV show. top kek

Grind some levels.

Are you trying to go for the true ending?
If not, abuse gunvolt's bait mode (forgot the name). If there's an attack that's hard to dodge, spam recharge and you'll phase through everything.
Now if you *are* going for the true ending, good luck. I would tell you how I did it but honestly I even I have no idea how I did.

I remember people talking about Inafune trying that multimedia song and dance once before MN9 with some series called Kaio.
He's a man who counts his chickens before they've hatched, that's for sure.

Too limited of a budget to convey feelings of satisfaction to the player to their fullest.
I'm not a graphicsfag, quite the opposite, but i'm pretty nitpicky about camera, and I rarely if ever like a game being too zoomed out, and that's what a lot of Indie games unfortunately do.

See this is the thing that killed this project I doubt Inafune is a hack he created Zero after all but having creativity without someone directing the game towards a goal in time (publisher do this) can go so wrong if the game director cannot measure himself up whit the budget, for example look at death stranding Kojima for all his talent cannot respect the budget or just settle in a decision unless some else forces him to do so.
Oh inti I love you games but stop killing beautiful women’s that could have become interesting secondary character especially the blood loli she would have awesome to play as…

>Now if you *are* going for the true ending, good luck. I would tell you how I did it but honestly I even I have no idea how I did.
Acquire seven gems found throughout the main stages.
Give them all to Joule. She'll make a necklace item to wear that does not provide prevasion.
Equip the necklace before doing the final mission, and never take it off during. (You can't start the mission and then equip the necklace. It has to already be equipped.)
Note: This is impossible to do on your first run because the end-game begins once you finish the last main stage, and Joule is kidnapped before the last gem can be given to her.

Trivia: In the original draft for the game, the bad end was the only end. Not only did Gunvolt just die, but him killing Nova also caused the defense barrier protecting Japan to go down. The game was to end with Asimov gleefully watching as an alliance of foreign nations commenced an invasion, starting with missile strikes. (This concept would partly be recycled into Eden in the second game, and the G7 being named after missiles is a callback to it) Naturally, the scenario writer was told to go back and change it.

Yeah they should just complexly scrap the first game as in never happened delete beck since his reputation is in tatter and there is no way he is going to come back from that and just star from scratch using Call (and her different models as playable characters or battle stances) when taking a robot master you insted of just a move you get another form alongside a complexly set of moves like in megaman ZX add a fully open worldso you could go for your favorite form from the get go and presto we have a pretty good game to start a new series from.

Jesus Christ, the endings of both games are already depressing, what's wrong with that guy?

Welcome to Inti user! go play maegaman Zero if you think Azure Striker is depressing

I think ASG 1 is worse, to be honest. There's not a single character that is better off at the end of the game.

How is it? I saw some complaints about the AI in steam reviews but no other real criticism asides from that

The AI is really dumb. You can have a redneck trying to blast you and the cops will have no reactions at all despite that you're hiding behind them and the redneck is also trying to shoot the cops. There's also some bugs and glitches where I had two clothes in my inventory for some reason, that makes me easily reduce my wanted level by instantly switching my clothes. Also the missions structures and design can be incredibly tedious for most people.

But it filled that nostalgia for GTA clones from early 2000s. Not GTA 1/2, but the clones from that era like Payback or Gameloft's Gangstar on mobile phones. It's still a competent topdown GTA clone albeit it's not as good as CW. The physics are really good and I really like the fact that you can crash through on almost everything, like stone walls and fences. The shooting is okay but with the ragdolls it really fucking fun to just shoot people around. Also the story is enjoyable and simple, even if it's just very cliche.

I really like it but it's a very niche game by today's standard.

True. Mn9 would've be fine with 2d pixels.

Everything about the Vermilion Wasteland and the immediate fallout from what happened there is 10/10 storytelling.

why would i want to play western ripoffs of japanese classics with left-wing politics inserted into them when i can just emulate the japanese classics for free?
