this is a great post^
people act like indies are a new thing. they aren't. They been on PC for a long time, Xbox brought them to consoles with the XBL arcade. There were tons of them last gen and MS had a bunch, but nobody gave 2 flying fucks about it except for a few of them that grew popular like braid or limbo. PS owners were busy with god of war, GT, uncharted, TLOU and xbox owners with halo, gears, forza/PGR, fable etc, and of course the CoD, GTA, Sports crowd on all platforms. The thing is cows now hype these games and use it as an excuse for lack of AAA support. MS hasn't been lighting the world on fire either. we haven't seen this gens UC, gears, halo, mass effect etc yet. It'll come eventually, it always does but we just haven't gotten it. But going around pretending you paid 400-500 dollars on an upgrade day 1 to play games you could have played 20 years ago on a SNES is just a joke. You could play much better "8 bit indie style games" with an emulator on a 15 year old PC running sega genesis, SNES, NES etc. We buy new systems for new experiance and most important bigger and better games. Games that weren't possible 10 years ago. When 99% of your library on your brand new 400 dollar state of the art PS4 can be played on an iphone, it makes your device useless. I have kids and a family and not wasting time with these crap games. And anyone saying they got a PS4 for indies is just kidding themselves. I got my XB1 and PS4 for bigger and better games then my 360 and PS3 could provide me. XB has given a few with sunset, DR3, Ryse (yes i actually liked it), Titanfall (yes its technically on the 360 but runs off XB1 servers) but my PS4 has given me a wad of crap so far, and quite honestly it sucks. The order was a turd, killzone is literally the worst FPS franchise out there, yet we still get sequels for some unknown reason, infamous is a bore, knack is a running joke (which honestly I didn't play so w/e) If you are really a PS4 fan like I am, you'd tell sony to cut the shit and make a good AAA game, not make excuses so they can continue to pile shit down your throat.
