Someone in a Twitter space i`m currently listening to just said the gaming industry is pushing indie games to appear as the same level of AAA games. I agree with their statement. I don`t have a problem with indie games (some indie games are my favorite). But i do think half of them shouldn`t even get stage time. It is what it is though. AAA is expensive, and too big of a risk for most studios.

I give the show a 7/10 It started out pretty good (great pacing). Around the hour & a half (hour forty) mark, it began to drag a bit. The world premieres could have been better:manny: What did Geoff consider the four, five game premiers on the level of Elden Ring? I know he has to hype the show beforehand but...

Next year cannot get here quick enough. There`s promise for every platform next year.

Indie games have replaced AA games for the most part. There’s no distinction anymore with UE4/5

They are the same level as AAA games a lot of the time. You'd have to be closed minded to not agree, I feel. :yeshrug:

A random AAA game is likely better than the MAJORITY of indie games, sure, but you're not (not saying you specifically) gonna sit there and tell me AC Valhalla is better than games like 12 Minutes, Hades, Cuphead by default because it's cinematic and has a big budget. fukk no.

Chicory is my GOTY looking back.

To me it was the most fun i had playing one single game this year outside of Hades. It was a 10/10 for me
