Similarly, there is no modern equivalent to Katamari Damacy. Some games are just too perfect to be recreated.
- spywaregorilla 5y agoPotentially unpopular opinion, but I think a large part of Katamari Damacy's appeal was it's oddball aesthetic, with a feeling it was kind of intentionally shitty, but executed really well. I think this hasn't aged as well as it deserved because so many indie games ham up the "low quality" aspect of their game now. Whereas KD did it artistically, indie games do it as an excuse for not being better. And for keeping that company, I find KD hasn't aged well. Good theme song though.
- swivelmaster 5y agoIndie games often do it because they can't afford to do more.
- spywaregorilla 5y agoI don't buy that. You may not have the budget to hire a great writer with elaborate stories. You can, on your own, not constantly make 4th wall breaking allusions to being in a low quality game. You can also just step back and not have the dialogue at all. Bad writing is much much worse than no writing.
