I think that'd be definitely different because the series aired partly not on Netflix (Seasons 1-3), and Season 4 also hit before the new, big wave of Netflix exclusive programming.
Like I said, something like Daredevil isn't watchable outside of Netflix, and I'd imagine that's the new standard for now.
And that's perfectly fine.

Grand Theft Auto is a toxic cultural product.
Do you check every game if it's indie before you play it?
Kinda hard to know otherwise and what's indie-ter is getting blurry all the time from just looking

How do you know you can't stand them if you've never played one? That doesn't seem like a "controversial opinion" to me... it's just irrational.

This is just ignorant, honestly. I'm 100% sure you've played an indie game and probably weren't even aware of it.

The vast majority of PC gamers don't care about high-end graphics.
Which is why it's silly when people say PC gamers are elitist.
90% of PC gamers are either playing CS, LoL, Dota, Minecraft, some MMO, or Survival game #154738. None of these have very impressive graphics.

GTA5 has some of the worst missions in the series. Why am I towing trucks without getting paid? Why should I care about Yoga?
Why did we do that heist just to give the money back?

What defines "indie" to you exactly? Do you consider anything "non AAA" to be indie or do you just look at anything with a smaller budget to not be worth your time? I honestly can't see you liking games very much at all if all you look at is the amount of money spent on it and think that directly correlates to it's quality. It's really kind of sad that anyone could think that AAA gaming is the only place to find a quality experience.

The motion controls are a vital part of Zelda: Skyward Sword and the game could never work without them.
I know that the most widespread current of thought was that the game would have been much better without motion control and a new version with standard controls should be made, but the way I see things now after nearly 20 hours of gameplay, is that what would come out would hardly be the same game.
Still, the game is flawed as fuck everywhere. Poorest Mainline Zelda with the most regrettable design choices ever made. Content recycling and backtracking, limited inventory, no overworld.... and Fi. Fick you, Fi.

Golden Sun is one of the most important games in the history of handheld gaming. It's also one of the least impressive outside of a technical perspective and feels like the demo to Lost Age, which was only slightly better because it felt like a complete game. Come to think of it, the entire Golden Sun series doesn't hold a candle to the JRPGs that came before and after it on the Game Boy/Advance/DS, etc. but I do have a level respect for what it did for JRPGs on handhelds.
Every Zelda game I have played bores me.
I think the world is boring, the combat in the 3D games is just wait till you can hit, while the 2D games is just move around then mash the attack button when you have an opening.
Moving around the world is not interesting. The worlds asides from Windwaker are just really boring generic fantasy things. I don't give a fuck about my motivations in these games.
Not to mention some of the boring shit you have to do to simply progress. Like, finding tears of light by running around a map doing this monotonous combat, to kill bugs, all so I have to memorize some stupid wolf song, then execute the wolf song so some snake aligator shows me some dumb vision of me with no pupils.
And I feel like some kinda Grinch when everyone splooges all over that screen shot of the field in Zelda WiiU, and I feel fucking nothing.

I am more than happy on my XBOX one and not nearly interested in a PS4 because it doesn't have that many good games to be worth purchasing.

Games I want on PS4: Bloodborne
Games I want on Xbone: KI, Rare collection
This means I have to wait until I can justify either purchase. This is why I am glad they are starting to release iterative consoles; when I am ready I can jump in with the newest most powerful toy.

Exactly!
If the PS4k is indeed real and coming, I might get the FFVII special edition (they just have to make one!) because there should just be enough good games not available on xbone by then.
I have both and I like both of them but I would say having one is more than enough to be satisfied.
It would take too long to list all the games I've played and how none of them fell under the indie game banner. The abridged version would be think of big name companies like Nintendo, Square Enix, Konami, Capcom, EA, Ubisoft, Blizzard, and then from there break down the games into already established legacy franchises.
Ex. Konami = MGS and Castlevania franchise.
Basically from there any company listed might fall under. Of course there are tons I left out, but the general idea is games on PC and consoles made under a certain price range, not an established franchise or big name title, not a legacy title pretty 90s (ex. Mega man, Mario, Final Fantasy.. etc.) Don't make the cut. And I know I read a few saying surely I've tried some and don't realize it, it's possible but looking at the wall of games and the older generation consoles it is very improbable. As for irrational, I guess I'd post this in that thread if it was there but settled on controversial instead lol.
Edit: Also, one more thing regarding the quality comment of AAA games. That's not to say that AAA games are all good either, that's not the case at all. I've played plenty of average to awful AAA games that fall under my criteria and remail unchanged. Unsurprisingly, I tend to play strictly legacy titles consistently (Legend of Dragoon, Warcraft 3, MGS3, Resident Evil 2, Super Mario RPG, Chrono Cross.. etc) while looking forward to big 2016 budget games more sparsely (FF15, Zelda U).

I dislike dualshock 4 despite being mainly PlayStation fan. I wish I could use Xbox one controller for ps4 instead.
I don't get zelda, half-life and ff series, I see how they can appeal, but still dislike them myself.
"walking simulators" suck balls as a form of videogame and just don't deserve praise they get.
Lego games suck, all of them!

Indie games aren't bad, as I said before some are highly praised, reviewed, and well received. I just have no interest in them. I think that the biggest disconnect with my stance for some is that it would be more controversial for me to say all indie games are bad and I've no interest in ever playing them. That would be irrational and I'd agree with most. I just don't want to play them which is controversial sure, but not damning.

I kind of share that sentiment. For me it wad a good game but didn't leave me with anything, apart from feeling a bit sad that Tess died.
I think there are a lot of good indie games, but most of the ones that have received a lot of praise aren't very good. I used to have a more negative opinion of indie games that I think was partially influenced by some subpar XBLA games. But anyways, Limbo, Braid, and Journey are all pretty boring games IMO. Geometry Wars, To the Moon, Her Story, and Divekick are all great. Like other kinds of games you just need to find the stuff that you like and the stuff that you don't like.

Maybe if I was a PC gamer, I might find something I might enjoy but what I've played on consoles hasn't impressed me.

It's an elitist attitude, and if you haven't seen it, then you haven't visited Reddit's PC Master Race forum, or read the comments of an IGN console related story.
Battlefield Hardline is one of the best Battlefield games ever made.
Can't you? Might be wrong but I'm pretty sure there are (pricey) converters.

On the day of the English release of Dark Souls III... I'd like to give a friendly reminder that Dark Souls II was much better than Dark Souls and so was Demon's Souls.

Resident Evil 4 is a very overrated game that gets way more praise than it probably deserves. It's not scary, it's locations are crap (besides the village) the FOV is horrible, story is dogshit, Leon isn't cool at all. It's just a chore to play. Dead Space was a far better Resident Evil 4 than RE4 ever was.
I couldn't give a shiny shite about Dark Souls III. It's just more Souls. Give me Ratchet & Clank already!
While I like it, Shadow of the Colossus is not really WOWing me like it's 'supposed' to. It's decent, but eh.

What about SOMA (and the rest of Frictional's games), The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, The Swapper, Helldivers, Outlast, Resogun, Journey, Flower, Dead Nation, and The Unfinished Swan? Portal also started as an independent game, and it could be said that Witcher series is one as CDPR published the games themselves. Then there's No Man's Sky, Elite: Dangerous, Star Citizen, Superhot, Voidrunner, Consortium: The Tower, and Alienation.
It sounds like a very narrow-minded point of view to say, that all indie games are somehow worse, and to put them all into a same box, no matter how different they are in style or scale from each other. Personally, I think they offer a breath of fresh air among all the big budget games, that follow the open world fad.
EDIT: Not to mention, that some of them put the AAA titles to shame visually. So, even if you're an eye candy man, it's not like they couldn't offer something for you.

I'm on the crowd that has a dislike for 99% of indies, but still... there are offers I value as of higher quality and more entertaining than a lot of AAA titles. You just need to look at Cave Story for a classic example.

Golden Eye was never very fun. It was influential and helped to validate the idea of console FPS shooters, but the clunkiness made for a bad experience.
Heh. I'm the opposite.
If all I had to pick from were one-note, homogeneous AAA games, I'd find another hobby.
Booooring.

None of these games have any similarities to each other but they would all get shoved in and discarded because a multi national publisher isn't telling you they're worth playing? Bizarre.
