We all have a soft spot for indie games. We’re built to root for the underdogs. While not all indie games are great, some good ones have shown some amazing results. Take Limbo, Minecraft, and Braid. Microsoft launched XNA games which soon after became the Xbox Live Indie Game channel. Sadly, not as many people care about this. Here are some reasons why:
It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.
The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.
Scrawl: "Looks like we know how that new Compile Heart countdown is going to end. The latest issue of Famitsu has confirmed that Agarest Senki 2, known as Record of Agarest War 2 in the US, is Compile Heart’s newest title."
1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.
If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).
Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.
Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.
@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.
I approve of this god damn message.
Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.
There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.
Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.
Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
This is not the first time that Bless Online receives a server merge in Korea. An announcement was made on the official Korean site.
Bless must be an amazing game to be on all these platforms (according to the tags): iPad iPhone Nintendo DS PC PS Vita PS2 PS3 PS4 PSP Wii Wii U Xbox Xbox 360 Xbox One
Personally, I think the lack of promotion is the biggest problem with XBLIG.
i totally agree with number 4, as i get free wireless internet from my building and while it is strong sometimes it acts up. aside from that aside from that indie games might be my favorite part of owning a 360.
i downloaded a game recently can't think of the name but you're taking photos of models as they pose. it's really weird and kind of creepy at first, but next thing you know you will be trying to get better shots.
I do really think they do need to figure out the achievement situation. A game like Aban Hawkins should really get at very least 100 points to apply to achievements .
Number for is my biggest issue. I didn't knew about it before i tried to play an indie game offline. sucks.
I disagree with the achievement thing, so many games are so shallow that you could get the achievements in a minute and people would get games for the sole reason of getting achievements. Some games, yes, should get achievements but only a minority of them.
OT - Buy Cthulhu saves the World, or if nothing else get the trial. Its a great game.
