they DO make consistently fun games

videos games were great until competition and business came in to kill the art. it'll never be the same when you have to speed program against increasingly complicating APIs. Take my word.

Alien Hominid was great but honestly castle crashers was garbage. It's literally just mashing buttons the entire game against enemies that take way too many hits even when using the strongest weapons and stuff.

Also, there's like, no balance between characters at all, so if you pick someone based on what you visually enjoy (which everyone will do since the character screen says jack shit about their actual power), it's complete luck if you get a shit character or not.

Triple AAA games are corporate cancer
Indie games are now mostly pixel art, "2deep4you" with no gameplay, or just trash
The middle market is almost extinct, and then they don't have the budget to polish their games.
Every once in a while we get something good from one of the three, but the industry is definitely declining.

Alien Hominid was pretty fun. Castle Crashers was pretty grindy but I enjoyed playing it with my buddy. Battleblock Theatre was a pretty fun but simple platformer. Pit People is a casual but, once again, pretty satisfying, strategy game.
Their theme seems to be casual, co-op, colorful, and violent, and I'm okay with that. Their stuff's not perfect, but I never felt it was bad.

I don't know how to feel about battleblock. It's simple, but it seems to have a fair amount of content. but the whole game just feels like it was made by some kid. I'm not talking visually, I mean controlling characters and moving around feels cheap, like it was some quickly for some free newgrounds game. Not like super meat boy or something.

I guess it's ok, but I've only played like an hour or two. Seems like the sort of thing you really NEED a friend to enjoy. Alien Hominid was fantastic both solo and coop, and that minigame stuff was great.

>tfw no battleblock theater 2

Before Activision, I felt Blizzard could do no wrong. It's been sad watching them fall so far from grace.

These guys will never make a "2" of anything. They're not that kind of developer, they'd rather do a new idea each time, which is a good thing

I agree kind of. Their games are never really about the story, so there's no point in making a sequel. And each of their games is a different genre. Although, I wouldn't mind if they decided to revisit a genre every once in a while and experiment with it in a different way. Battlblock was fun but it was one of the weaker platformers I've played.
