Obscure old games are way more interesting than modern indie slop.

[Loliraider]

Modern indie games never made me curious enough to actually play them. Many have good gameplay, but they offer nothing else. No charm, no personality.

Even when many obscure old games were objectively flawed by today’s standards, they still had soul. There was something authentic about their worlds, their ideas, their feel. Things you just don’t get from most modern indies.

Part of the reason for this is because the devs were influenced by real life. Back then, there wasn’t infinite content to consume. They spent more time outside, hanging out with people, seeing new places, actually living. They drew inspiration from life, emotions, conversations, memories, and random moments that stuck with them, and tried to replicate or improve on them within the limits of the time.

Now, most indie devs are sheltered spergs who never leave the house. Their life experience is basically just playing games and scrolling online. Their games are inspired by another game. That’s why it never feels authentic or original.

I’d rather play some forgotten old game over most modern indie games any day.

It's still possible to encounter an unique and nice indie game, but a reason why a lot of them is contained - game industry infiltrated by woke cucks and foids.

That's what i have noticed year or two ago. A lot of those old guard game devs or artists were not even gamers. While Indie slopper devs are all obsessed with games and "game ost" and it's artists. They can name 1000 game directors and art designers like it's a new religion. Indies can only copy what it's already been made but not a new things or new experiences as their lives are completely hollow devoid of anything but their depressing room.

I'm tired of their 2d platformer, card battler, roguelikes, nostalgiabaits. Give me something new ffs.

Even without all the wokeness, most of them would still suck.

True. Even low-budget old games often had devs who came from art, music, or technical fields, which is another reason the games feel so different.

I do think that most indie games are either woke or very safe.

Maybe it's mostly external factors.

- rules around use of different engines
- platform rules
- the culture often being very hard on people who aren't woke

Stuff like that.

Nowadays I steer clear of new games irregardless of their origin UNLESS a brocel tells me that they are free of the woke.

i've gotten so sick in the extreme of all the western indie game tropes

> your character is a tiny dot or an arrow
> game made entirely with programmer art, presented as a 'cinematic visual experience'
> pixel art, but the sprites are all extremely tiny and undetailed because guess what, it's still programmer art
> everything bounces and shakes around like a retard on caffeine, to try and hide the fact that the game has no detail or identity besides VFX
> nothing has a sense of place, you are just lost in some mysterious dimension where anything goes, and random objects fly or scroll past you

none of this shit applied to old games, they all tried to put you somewhere, give you an identity, and if the game was made with programmer art then there was still effort put into the sprites, and the crutch of making every sprite really tiny was not used anywhere near as much
