One indie that I'll never forget is Bastion.
Brilliant game, love everything in it.

+1. It's one of the best games I've played. I love the narration :-)

@hlynur I do sell discounted Steam games once in a while (although not as often as I used to). Usually they are cheaper than the stores like steambits :-)

From what I've just googled the game was made by an indie developer but it was published by Warner Brothers, when an indie developer signs up with a publisher as far as I'm concerned that's when they lose their independence, it's a bit like a country signing up to be a vassal of another and claiming it's independent from the country it's a vassal of, in the end they're still being controlled by somebody and have various restrictions on what they can and can't do.

I don't think you guys seem to realise just how shitty it is signing over your intellectual property to a publisher or anyone for that matter, they'll try to take everything they can get.

They started everything alone. To distribute the game they gave to WB as you saw. It may not see to much right as you said, but it was their first great game, and they needed it to revenue the best possible.

try Heavy Rain. ok its a old one, but nice.

We're talking about Games here.

lol

just played its predecessor Fahrenheit and that was more like a series of "playable" cutscenes with one of the shittiest endings in game history.
(never understood why heavy rain wasn't also released for pc which represents a lot of mature audience)
gamedesign wise i loved the new approach though and it starts pushing industry towards more believable characterdesign and better storytelling overall.

i'm curious how that stuff will evolve with oculus rift.
fully interactive movies someday in the future...i can't wait

loved that one,too.

just came to my mind...
i wonder when steam accepts direct payment via btc?

in case anyone also missed it, just found this service (at least it was new to me Tongue

, so hard to not miss out on so much innovation going on):

I sell discounted Papers Please steam codes for btc, you can PM me if you want to buy some. I haven't tried the game yet but I will have to soon! I've heard a lot of good things about the game.

damn that came one day too late Tongue

, but anyway thanks for your offer. unfortunately i don't know anyone in my circle of friends that has passion for indiegaming and bitcoins at hand.

papers please is really an interesting approach. socialcritical and politically controverse undertones in games are still quite rare.
I'm not sure though if and how a story evolves, will check that out at the weekend.

@hylnur: Hotline Miami is great fun, and the other two I've been planning on getting for a long time! Great game picks

just bought papers please yesterday (after playing the beta some months ago), unfortunately there was no payment in btc possible
(i thought humble store already accepts btc, perhaps it was just the bundles).

i love indiegames, they are like artsy shortfilms compared to blockbusters.
love to details, innovative gameplay ideas and great stories intelligently squeezed into a small amount of time for a playthrough...and all that entertainment for a low price.

the only triple A games i got completely hooked over the last decades were Fallout Series, Mass Effect Series, GTA series, Deus EX and Skyrim. (besides some oldschool gems from LucasArts, Grim Fandango being my favourite)
everytime it was mostly the story and the details that made me play them through.
(skyrim was time-wise the biggest beast i had to wrestle with and at some point a lot of these games start to feel like sitting at a slot machine when story is getting weaker)

@Kyle91
dude, how do you play SA:MP, I've always wanted to play that but it doesn't seem to work for me. I have gta:sa on steam.

Well i have the physical copy of the game, i'm sure sa:mp works for steam.

Here, you need to downgrade your game to version 1.00 for it to work on SA:MP
http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1952458

Then download SA:MP

There's also this, which is a seperate game of its own apparently: http://www.multitheftauto.com/

You might want to search Google for the latest versions of the mods (if there are any). I'm not too much of a GTA fan myself. Stealing cars and driving over people gets boring eventually.
