Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 1

But, where do you get the info that TCR enjoy playing AAA games more?

Dan Pinchbeck talks about his love of games like Far Cry, DOOM, and Metro often in interviews and on Twitter.

Indies are smaller and risk more experimental ideas, and what we see is Penumbra or Amnesia with VERY emotional and intellectual story and mediation!

Yes. Independent studios are more likely to try weirder things. But there's no black and white "Indie good, AAA bad." As you are trying to say. There are plenty of good and bad examples from either side. Not every indie game is Amnesia, and not every big budget game is Call of Duty.


In fact, go look into "Spec Ops: The Line." It's a shooter that is made as a deconstruction of the genre. It starts off looking like any old shooter and then gradually becomes more disturbing and surreal. It's a great experience and the developers had the full support of their publisher, 2K games.
