It's just the Indie games bubble, they all have the same opinions. Or at least think they should have the same opinions because it's a tiny field and they fear being ostracized.

I'm guessing some time around June there was a big push to get Indie devs to show support for BLM, a "purity test" of sorts. Yacht Club Games cucked even harder for BLM and they absolutely are not pieces of shit (but it still pissed me off just the same).

Eh... The Body Swap mode and their reasoning for it give me pause.

Why do you guys think that 8-bit or 16-bit retro style indie games are “hipster garbage”? Indie developers would rather make a game with a 8-bit/16-bit style than go all out with a, 3D style, AA or AAA quality game. It’s a cheaper option.

Nobody mentioned retro looking games.

Limbo and it's follow up game I forgot the name are not retro looking and are still hipster garbage, Sunset, Gone Homo, Dear Esther, The Vanishing of something, The Suicide of someone are all hipster garbage and are in 3D.

Now for some retro looking games that arent hipster garbage there's Unending Dusk, La Mulana, Shantae, Bleed, Bot Vice, Dusk...

This

A game that Phil Fish basically stole from another person.

Is it really any surprise that the guy who created the game full of homo skeletons and dyke fish-monsters turned out to be a huge fucking faggot? Undertale is bar none the most overrated piece of 8-bit Indy retro-faggot trash ever created. I love the Mother/Earthbound series but I really do think it’s one of the worst things to ever happen to video games. The amount of cancerous hipsterwank “quirky” Indy RPGs it has cursed us with almost makes me hate it.

When “everyone” loves something, you can be sure it is pozzed as shit. Truly great games almost always piss off someone.

I figure it was just the first game with meaningful replay consequences the normie crowd was exposed to, or at least the first one they could actually finish in order to start the replay parts. Add that "novelty" to all the "representation" and tie it all together with the oh so deep "lesson" of "just love and forgive people, they probably have emotional reasons for trying to kill you", slap on some cutesy "retro" 8-bit style (edit: which has the added bonus of letting just about any computer be able to run the game) and you have nice rock of normie video game crack.

He should try a real-life version of his stupid "just talk things out with everyone; it'll be ok" with Antifa rioters. Bet that'll work out real well for him.

In my personal experience, Undertale is the #1 overrated game of all time. I went in with an open mind after many, many recommendations on KiA and elsewhere and found myself losing faith in humanity little by little as I progressed. How could so many people actually claim to enjoy such a simplistic, uninteresting, predictable, poorly made thing?

Then I remembered boy bands, the Spice Girls, and Justin Beiber and remembered that people largely have atrocious taste in general and it saddened me to realize that video games had reached a critical mass that allows horrible taste to thrive.

The term "astroturfed" is coming to mind here. I wonder if they were ever really popular, or if the people who said they liked this shit, just said so to feel "part of the crowd", that crowd that the media sold them liked all that crap. Because notice that when such fads end, the same people who waved their new albums, and talked incessantly about whatever it was, turn around and say they never really liked it in the first place, OR just kind of slide off and talk about the current new fad being sold. I think I first noticed this phenomenon ... when disco died.

Is there a reason to jump onto the bandwagon this late? The perception normies have of BLM is changing. Normies were okay with a little domestic terrorism, but now they are getting pissed because it's in everything.

Damn, the postgraduate and female ones are disturbing. More women and less men are getting into academia. We have lost the educational institutions forever.

Especially when the rioters get called "white supremacists" but the bail fund sign is still up.

Did you honestly expect anything different from a hipster weirdo who made a game about an underage protagonist dating a strong independent lesbian fish?
