@@WyvrnOnYTAAA or indie? In the past it is true that none was better than the other. In recent years however, it is fact that indie titles are far far far better than AAA. No micro transactions or other greedy tactics, no political brainwashing attempts, no completely broken games, no big game just for the sake of marketing. Indie titles have to be good and fun to get bought. AAA games try to keep you as long busy as possible but unfortunately they forgot that it has to be fun as well

I think that one good point about indie games is the fact that they have to be good to get any recognition so if you’ve heard of an indie game it’s probably good whereas with a AAA game you might have heard of even the ones that were utter failures that no one likes

I mean when you have investors who gave you millions to make the game, they expect a game that will CERTAINLY bring them back at least a certain amount of money. I know people want creativity. But being creative also means taking risks and your game might not sell that much. And when you put millions in the game, you cant afford making a game that will not sell well cause that could be the end of your studio. Thats why AAA are the way they are.

I feel like right now the whole “triple AAA vs Indie” argument is just kick the bigger person in the room. Not saying triple AAA don’t have some valid flaws that’s criticism could leave into favoring indie games, but it really feel like some because are some anti-big corporations that they literally don’t even know why their hating.

I’m glad you talked about how important remakes are, because lately I’ve been hearing about people getting angry at the idea of remakes and instead wanting newer games. I personally think good remakes are fantastic and help preserve amazing games. I will say that although there are obviously bad triple AAA games, it never really mattered to me because there’s way too many triple AAA games. With indie games agree with you as the good ones get a lot of light but the bad ones are games no one cares about, and are just ignored. So I think they’re even in that topic. Nice video as always.

Interesting video, man!👍 Not every triple AAA game is hot garbage, there are some good triple AAA games like Super Mario Brothers Wonder for a example. The best part about Super Mario Brothers is that the developers of Nintendo decides to take their time without any deadlines. Let's hope the developers of Nintendo (including the developers of Splatoon) decides to start making awesome games again without any deadlines, and let's also hope that the developers of Nintendo decides to start making new and original IP games in the future. But yeah, other than that, reject the rest of the triple AAA industry and embrace indie and AA games. Also, thank fucking God, I'm becoming a indie game developer, and I can't wait to start making awesome, bad-ass/edgy games in the future!🤩

I love that you casually forgot that most AAA games cost like 70+ these days and indies usually charge you below 20; like you could literally buy 3-4 indie games instead of a triple A one. And also that money would go more to the devs instead of some greedy multinational director.

I mean we are arguing that games that cost 50-300 mil$ to make cost 70$ to play??? I mean would you sell you 50mil$ game at 20$????? Lets not play dumb. Indie games cost less because they try to attract customers. Most indie games that become hype, when the devs notice they can sell to a huge audiance, they bump up the price. Then the game goes from 20$ as beta/early access to 50+$ when it fully launches. Those costing less is because they werent sure to have a large audience to bumping up the price would only turn off customers. Most would sell their games 70$ if they knew people would by

@@mrbob4104 What? They would not. Are you saying that your local baker would charge for 100$ the piece of bread if they knew you would pay it? Most people do have principles and would try to charge for a reasonable amount for what your getting instead of trying to extort you; usually those decisions are more akind to companies. If I made a game, even if I knew 100% that I wouldn't lose any sale by tripling its price I would not do it, I would just stick to a price a find reasonable and that's it. Maybe others wouldn't, but I would.

Popular indie games give you a full game at a reasonable price. Popular AAA games give you a half-assed sphagetti codded game (that shows in obvious places) with a subscription, paid characters, battle passes, questionable anti-cheat (for sometimes even a single player game) and they are charging 70 dollars just so you can get the benevolent chance to buy more dlcs and add-ons than to play the actual fucking game. Good AAA games are pretty amazing I play them more than indie ones but they usually are really really few good ones, same goes for indie. (Games and media in general as well if you're that general)

Ah yes. So lets steal AAA. So they stop making games right?? cause you pirating these games only works if there are people actually buying them. if everyone do like you, you wouldnt have those games. And if you really hated those "AAA games" you wouldnt pirate them to play them in the first place. I dont like lots of AAA games and guess what??? I dont play them. But you dont want to buy them so you look for an excuse and claim they are bad just so you can pirate them and get them for free. I understand people who pirate games they really want to play but dont have money. And plan on buying games when they have more income. But hypocrites who claim to hate a game, just to go and pirate them are just liers who looked for an excuse to get something for free.

I disagree with your take on game preservation, because those retro games that new indies depend on (which I already disagree with, a lot of them don't depend on old games at all) WERE indie games. Sure they build on them, but at some point one or multiple indie games had to start it. Your logic is like saying that all youtube videos depend on pioneers before them, but that's not true because at some point someone had to be first. I also disagree with your opinion because you can't say that there are so many big games that are revolutionary, but then not acknowledge the amount of life-defining indie games you haven't played. Of course you don't know how many there are, but for AAA games, you will know how many are good and how many are bad, just basically because there's a finite amount of them (and of course there is a finite amount of indie games, but the amount of them compared to AAA feels like and is basically infinite)

I also do not fully understand what you mean in your 4th sentence when you claim there is a large amount of life-defining indie games I have not played. I believe I have played the majority of the most popular Indie games of all time; I was confident enough with my experience with them to make this video in fact.

I think all good Indie games need each other. A lot of good Indie games are inspired by one another. If Hollow Knight, Stardew Valley, and Terraria didnt exist, Indie games wouldnt be as amazing as they are now. Its like all Indie devs are helping each other on their game. My favorite game right now is a AAA game, but I prefer Indie more. Also, Wyvrn, what do you use to edit your videos?

One th8ng I would like to point out about your answer is that you said AAA is more important not better, I agree that AAA I important and can do amazing stuff but the problem is that as it gets bigger and better it gets harder to keep out corporate greed. Because of this I think that indi-games win out in terms of which is better while AAA wins out in terms of which is more important. But another thing I that its becoming easier and cheaper to make games and it looks like it will continue to so for the future I think that indie-games will start to become the standard.

even then, for bad indie games they're generally not bad in the boring sense, think of a game like yiik for example, that game's terrible but it's fascinating to think about it because the devs had bad decisions that were fully implemented and developed , AAA bad games are mostly just buggy rushed messes or designed by committee slop. it's an extention of the originality point that you made, indie games have a larger chance to be bad in a completely new, interesting way, which does move the medium forward.

You mention it taking Rockstar games 10 years to create a new Grand Theft Auto and I have to say I think at least part of that or lets say 5 Years of that was intentional. Why rush out a new game when your still selling millions of the previous/current game in the series? When Your making billions a year off of Microtansactions? People act like they had no reason to withhold a new game when all evidence points to a extremely capable company like Rockstar simply taking it slow to keep raking in the money with the current games on the market.

Honestly, indies all the way. It's basically immoral to give most major studios money. It's the most predatory and dishonest industry there is. Besides even that, though, I just find myself putting way more hours into indie games and playing them through over and over whereas any AAA game I get on gamepass usually just gets boring and I stop playing it halfway through. Even RDR2, as good as it is, started to feel like a major slog to me by the end. By the time Arthur died I was too burnt out to care. Indie games are also labours of love and it shows while you can just feel the bullshit and compromise going on behind the scenes in AAA games.
