What's the best sub-AAA priced game this gen?

100% co-op Masterpiece. No hyperbole.

Well, the PC version, the PS4 version can't run it properly.

Any AAA game is sub AAA price within a month of release.

Meh. it looks terrible. feel like free to play indie game.

Sub AAA-priced at launch? The Crash Trilogy.

Broforce= masterpiece homage to action movies

Metro = Movie with game tacked on

you picked the worst part of game. great!

Metro is immersive and atmospheric linear Stalker like experience. broforce? cheap indie game that should be free of cost. waste of time

my friend, Metro is more popular series among PC fanbase. steam reviews are very high and up to roof.

surpassed Crysis when Crysis was graphic king but Metro is more than Crysis 1.

@ghosts4ever: or... both great games that appeal to different audiences.

Spintires Mudrunner.

i respect the audience of broforce. but imo its too overpriced. still.

14.99 is too much for a game that looks like mobile indie game.

Sonic Mania and the Yakuza games.

Cuphead

Good old Cup - Ghosts debate threads

@MirkoS77: Love that game

My favorites are Ori, Stardew Valley, Cuphead, and Minecraft

consider these great titles that didnt have the media attention they likely should have

Junk Jack

Hospitalize

Rim World (although this did get attention)

Cuphead is awesome and I always enjoy playing some Minecraft from time to time.

BroForce...I got tired of squinting at the screen trying to find my character.

Contra, you are not. Needed bigger more detailed sprite graphics.

if you like minecraft consider these titles as well

Starmade

Rising World

7 days to die

Space Engineers

Empyrion - Galactic Survival

From the Depths

@tryit: No thanks, not really interested in those.

Celeste and Hollow Knight

Both of these toppled classic games in their respective genres.

@getyeryayasout: I literally can't stop playing it on switch.

Celeste

Undertale.

i wonder why honestly.

I mean I have seen minecraft play thru and it looks more in depth then one might assume by casual observation but still not better then the games i listed, (well other than Rising World which is a little thin)

have you looked the games I listed? I am not trying to be difficult its just your response suggests you have but I dont think you have

The Witcher 3... when it is on sale. ;)

Ori, Cuphead, Sonic, Rocket League, Crash, and Steam World Dig all come to mind as great games.

@tryit: Taste is subjective and those games you mentioned just don’t interest me.

I dont think you have even looked at those games I listed.

that is what I think. to be blunt about it. am I wrong?

@tryit: Maybe I have, maybe I haven’t. It doesn’t matter though, like I said I’m just not interested.

you havent.

when I was younger I did the same thing. I found out later how unbelievably wrong I was.

I used to think that if a game didnt hit the radar of someone like gamespot that it likely was not worth looking into. I could not posisbly have been more wrong which I learned much later.

the thing all the games you mentioned have one thing in common, each and every one of them had hype PR applied to them.

Broforce was really fun, that video made me want to reinstall it and play again.

Iv been playing Little Nightmares and quite enjoying it.

Can't answer that.

Between games like Firewatch, Axiom Verge, Life is Strange, Helldivers, Rogue Legacy, Shovel Knight, Inside, Cursed Castilla, Nex Machina, etc, etc, i have played literally dozens of amazing indie games this generation.

Wipeout Omega Collection VR. Currently $40 (I bought it $20 on sale) and it's the one of the best arcade racers of all time, and now it currently has the best VR around. I highly recommend it if you own a PSVR...

@tryit: That’s cool and all but I’m still not interested.

you have made yourself and your approach to finding good games extreemly clear.

thank you

No he hasn't.

actually he has made it extreemly clear.

there are some games (or perhaps some people who post games) that he will refuse to look into at all and say that he is not intrested.

he has made the very very very clear and now I know and I can remember that fact about him for the future

You tried to ram your taste in games down his throat. I'm sure that's a fact he will remember about you.

I get the feeling you guys might be about to spam flag me so I will be getting out of this conversation soon.

I just want to say regardless of how evil and biased and mean and devil worshiping I am, he does not make himself better by saying he is not interested in games he refuses to even look at.

he is not doing himself a moral favor by doing that, but now I understand better why people here might not like the games I do and its not because they have actually ever looked into them even though they will say they are not intrested in them despite knowing NOTHING about them at all.

that was not clear before...now its extreemly clear, I understand now

AND I should add it also explains a lot of what I have suspected was true for years.

I have for YEARS suspected that people who hate indies actually never even look into them, this confirms that

Super Cloudbuilt gets my vote. Fantastic game. Such a shame how under the radar it is.

Divinity Original Sin 2 comes to mind

Factorio, RimWorld, etc...

@tryit: lol Spam flag you? Not doing myself a moral favour? Seriously? A moral favour? lol

Anyway you gave me a list of games and I simply said no thanks, I’m not interested in those. You could have and should have just left it at that. I don’t have the time to look into absolutely every single game available, no one does. Even if I did there’s only so many games that I can ever play and I know what I like and prefer to play so those are the games that I focus on first and foremost.

yes I know you said you are not intrested and you made it clear that you didnt look into them so I understand very clearly how you go about deciding on what not to like and it confirms all my assumptions about the matter that have held for years now.

so what is your point?

I think it would have been better to say 'i might take a look sometime' and then never do that. but instead you said 'not intrested' which implies you actually looked into them which you didnt.

which again, confirms my assumptions about the topic of how many gamers think about games

@tryit: My point is that you like what you like and I like what I like. People are different and enjoy different things. This is something that need to learn to accept. It most certainly isn’t about anyone doing “moral favours” for themselves, it’s entertainment.

dude that is actually not your point.

in order for that to have been your point it would have been a requirement for you to have at LEAST looked at the game.

think about it. you literally just saw a list of names of games you havent heard of and immediately went for 'my tastes are different' without even seeing a screenshot, a single video, no game play, no game description NOTHING.

how does that even remotely work?

it just confirms what I have always thought about many gamers for a long time, they make claims about not liking a game without ever even knowing what it looks like, let alone having played it or watched a video on it and THEN they will turn around and require me to have PLAYED the game I critic dispite me having at least watched videos of it which they will not do in the inverse.

that is my assumption, you are just confirming it.

what I should have done (and will likely try this sometime) is post a small list of games that dont even exist and see what response I get

@tryit: No, I’m just not interested in even looking them up even if you think that I’m not doing myself any “moral favours” whatever that is suppose to mean. lol

My tastes lie very heavily in the AAA market and I’m very happy with this. I have more then enough to focus on now and I don’t have the time nor desire to go looking into every other game out there. Do you?

like I said, you confirm what I have been assuming for years.

AAA gamers can be given a list of games that do not exist and because they have not heard of them they will say 'not intrested'

BUT they will require anyone who is critical of their choice to not only have heard of the titles but actually have played them too.

I know, I have known this for years.

thing is, they have nearly zero experience over all with indies and do not have a basis to come from other than 'its an indie game I have never heard of'

To answer your question, no I dont have a lot of time to look outside my soup very much but I am also fine with someone saying 'i have too many games right now to look into those thanks though' but 'not interested' implies you know something abotu them.

@tryit: Point out to me where I said that you were required to play every game or know anything about them? That’s right, I didn’t. In fact I said the opposite. You’ve turned this conversation around to trying to make me justify myself for the actions of others. Once again I like what I like, have enough that interests me, and know where my gaming preferences lie.

it still greatly confirms my assumptions about AAA gamers.

that is all I am saying, we should just move on at this point

the frustration difference for me is that I HAVE tried AAA games, I DO look into them and I find it offensive when AAA gamers just say indies are crap when they literally do not even look into them at all whatsoever.

I wish you would have just said 'I have too much on my plate right now' or something other than 'not intrested' which REQUIRES one to know something about them to know if one is intrested or not.!
