+2 exactly what I was going to post.

To be honest, I think I wouldn't be able to give a proper answer since I'm not as much into videgogames as I used to be, but it's properly that major studios draw more attention to them and have a wider audience. They spend more money on advertisement and promotion. They get more reviews and are featured in print magazines. Thus they get more backlash than indie devs.
I also think that indie devs are in a position that allows them to have more flaws. People are more forgiving if it's only one to two guys. Of course there are a lot of examples that stand against this arguement like FEZ and 99% of everything on Greenlight, but even Jim Sterling who hates most indie games said in a gameplay video that FNAF would always have something new in each game, doesn't even talk negatively about the jumpscare aspect, which basically makes the entire game, although he often says how cheap jumpscares are when it comes to making a good horror game.
Well, that's my amateur opinion on things. :D

"Follow José as he builds animatronics in the Acme Factory built on an indian cemetery!"

A YouTube game? You answered your question.

It came out 2 days ago.

From what I've heard he wanted to stop with the third part? And the fourth one was sort of forced because of the movie deal etc? I don't really follow any of this, so those might just be rumors, I don't know.

Fun fact: Valve, by proper definition on independent developer, is indie XD

it's not edited, because if it would be, it would be a star there!

Happy cake day

But... but... the ending is a mindfuck. Kind of a fresh take on sidescrollers I must say.

git gud

jbond too? guppy made a thread about it recently

clicky

FNaF.

It's not bad. But surely overrated in my opinion.

it was developed by indie team, M$ just published it, as they do so from time to time (Ori and the Blind Forest, Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet, Mark of the Ninja, Deadlight, Dust an Elysian Tail, Ms. Splosion Man)

Microsoft forces indie developers to have publisher if they want their game on console - they are so nice they will sacrifice themselves and allow indies to be published by MS.

I didn't say they aren't good. I said they're overrated. I completed all the worlds I could without dying in SMB. After that it was just torture so I stopped. Volgarr gets extremely easy if you watch a walkthrough. There's this one guy on youtube who did all 3 ways of finishing the game and I basically just had to copy everything he did, because that's what the game is about, memorizing.

Oh ho ho! ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)

Oh, what :-\

shuffles back into anonymity for a day

Braid is a pure piece of art and I find so weird that someone considers it overrated.

Whitelist for you sir!

Agreed.

I LOVED Braid. Finished it last month. :D :D

Oddly enough, I never watched that movie.
Perhaps the increased coverage from the movie led to increased expectations (at least in my case) and thus disappointment when actually playing the game.

Interesting to see that quite a few people disagree with me on naming these, while quite a few agree with me as well.

Also a lot of games I really disagree on being named. I thought Banished was effing gold. Bastion too, wtf.

it must be coming from people NOT on 4chan or used to insane anime, it looks fine by me & i would enjoy it, but it's certainly not a new exciting concept to me

I don't know ... everyone told me how amazing it was and that I have to get it. When I did get it and played it, it was fun and it's a good game. I just didn't think it was nearly as good as people were telling me it was. I could just be biased as these types of games aren't really my forte, so please take that into account when considering my list.

I understand it is not done. I'm also going to stop you right here. I feel like you may want to start an argument, but I did not post my opinions in this thread to start an argument.

(NOTE: I don't think a game with 30k positive reviews is underrated.)

It is just not my type of game. I can't explain it to be honest

I loved Dear Esther and Gone Home so I thought that this game is sth for me, too.
It looks great but I found the story and so very boring.

I prefer the first one. I played it a lot and it's a great game. The second one was just a mere excuse to make money on the acclaimed brand.

Okay there are some improvments like some new enemies, but meh... It doesn't explain the reason to make a re-make only three years later with excuses such to don't use Flash anymore, using a more pixelated art style like the McMillen always thought since beginning, and basically nothing more.

But that's my opinion. Opinion that everyone thumbed down on my Steam review lol.

You should definitely play Rebirth, it's an huge improvement, the old one seems so bad now that I'm used to it...

+1

Its not a bad game at all, I actually enjoyed the game but it isn't some amazing puzzle game. The puzzles weren't consistent in my opinion. There are easy puzzles and difficult annoying puzzles.

Very much so

Edit: Actually, since Microsoft owns it now, I'm not so sure. It was originally, though.

Yup, and I really wanted to love it, and spend hundreds of hours, but the only thing i liked was the soundtrack.
