I don't understand how so many games are made in Indiana. It's not even that big of a state.

I really don't understand the war you are fighting

With that said - SOME indie games really are overrated.
I do like atmospheric games but god, GRIS and Journey are so damn overrated. They are so boring.
Celeste and Hollow Knight deserves all the love that they get

Dude I don't hate em. I think most of them are overrated.

There are some good and even some great ones but one thing I can always count on is for their fanbase to put them on a pedestal.

I hate the way that many indie developers feel the need to make their quirky little puzzle/platform game seem 'deep' and 'artistic' by setting it in the mind of a coma patient and making everything a metaphor for regret or cancer or something.

Dude, I think it's fair to say a lot of them are overrated, I just don't think it's right to say that they're overrated because they're made by or for "poor people," which is inane

Yes

A game is only good if it involves a large map with towers you can climb to reveal the nearby map, in which there are icons of all the activities you can complete to eventuality reach 100%

There must also be a progressively improving statistic based inventory system based on your character level, as well as no less than three perk advancement tracks

There must also be a mission table, at which I can send npcs on all sorts of fantastical adventures described by text, at the end of which they return resources to me. It's so easy to implement- any game that doesn't feature this is pathetic

Lastly, if I'm not allowed to buy additional skins with real money the game is also bad

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

yeah it's much better when larger game devs use bad metaphors but with millions of dollars

I suspect puzzle platformers might be more prone to this kind of thing because of Braid.

It's based on "Is [game] a [genre]" I think, but it doesn't fit the format and so the structure makes no sense in English.

this is like a parody of a video game forum post, someone trying to mimic all of the bad things in a few succinct sentences. I kinda love it
