In what way(s)?

  The way the parent suggests. > Video games as an art are really in an interesting spot right now - big budget projects all end up being bland, buggy, cookie cutter rehashes of the same couple templates. https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/rs-gaming/indies-games-1000xresist-another-crabs-treasure-clickolding-1235231726/ https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/rs-gaming/indies-games-...

    hardly. I bet GTA6 will be a major success just like GTA5 was at the time, which will again counter the argument that big budget is killing the creativity in games. And I see no counter against Star Citizen yet

      I haven’t played V or online but after III/Vice/San Andreas, GTA is the last game I’d use to argue for creativity in the gaming industry. It’s just the only game series in the “run over streetwalkers in a stolen car” genre, which is still a profitable niche apparently. (But I don’t play many video games these days so what do I know)

        Why are you opining on things you’re wholly unfamiliar with
        • throwup238 2y ago
          What do you think HackerNews is for? And playing the franchise for over a decade isn’t “wholly unfamiliar.” Why are you using language you’re apparently quite wholly unfamiliar with?

        gTAV was much more than that.

        Pulling off 'tasteful obscenity' while still toeing the line is a high-wire act.
