The xbox indie market has like a ratio of 50:1 of good games, but there are those gems in there like "I made a game with zombies in it" and "Baby maker"
This fairly represents the indie market.

Am I the only one who things the Indie Games bot seems completely pointless? Almost no one posts in the threads and all the games they talk about are usually crap or RPS has already got a better article on them?
Holy crap theres' like 5 minecraftish games on arcade now.

I posted in the "Ask us about the forums" thread asking to remove it because it sucks and it got quite a few agrees so I know people want it gone, but yeah, I think it's stupid. All it talks about are indie games that nobody really cares about

Isn't that essentially what indie games are? Games that no one cares about.
Well, until people happen to pick up on them. That's how I see it anyways.

SuperGreatFriend (remember his Deadly Premonition playthrough?) does this great segment every week where he plays and reviews Xbox Live Indie Games (XBLIG). he gives a few some credit, but most of these are just the worst. In his latest video he began breaking down and repeating that they should just get rid of XBLIG (despite usually being very calm and open minded about games). If you don't know about XBLIG, give his videos a watch.

Why would I spend time listening to someone's inane commentary on an awful service!!!

Does it matter? All you have to do is not click on the thread. I know, tough, but I'm sure you will manage.
[QUOTE=Hiurst;33958156]Why would I spend time listening to someone's inane commentary on an awful service!!![/QUOTE]
Because that commentary actually makes watching xbox live indie games at least worth watching.
And I love how supergreatfriend goes from "okay well some of the games on xblig are pretty bad, but there are some decent ones" to "fuck this service, everything on it is just shit" so quickly over the videos.

Is that real? Is it really that easy to get on the Xbox Live Markeplace now? Holy fuck.
[QUOTE=FalconKrunch;33949877]The Xbox indie games are all horrible.[/QUOTE]
Braid, Super Meat Boy, and Limbo all started there.
Everything else SUCKS, though.
Wont tons of Minecraft clones hurt the sales of Minecraft when it actually comes out on Xbox? I thought Xbox Minecraft was something they were trying to hype up.

You'll know once you play one of the clones.

Sadly, they are.

"Hype up"?
Like when they casually announced it, taking about 10 seconds to talk about it, then move on to their next topic at E3 (I think it was E3).

Breath of Death or w/e was an actually good indie game. It's only 1 dollar and you get a good RPG.
once minecraft really comes to xbox I'm going to laugh when the creators of the indie games/creator of minecraft get sued by mojang/creators of minecraft clones on 360
Times like this I wish Ensemble Studios was not shut down

Age of Mythology... Never forget.
Wow looking at this and the android app store, Steam has probably the best library of any digital store.
I haven't played it but I hear the game isn't that bad.
[QUOTE=Sirdrone536;33992722]Times like this I wish Ensemble Studios was not shut down[/QUOTE]
Because that affects the XBLIG right?
"casual" gaming.
Did you guys seriously expect high quality from XBLI games?
It's a homebrew market, if you want high quality you have XBLA.
XBLI is reserved to homebrew-style developers, it's a great way to get something out there.
I wish Steam had a similar space, since on PC the only digital service that allows you to submit games like that is Desura and the only other options are mobile app stores like the Android Market.
I like XBLIG, it has this. I bought it, it is the best
