The Problem with Indie Games?

If you ever seen the indie games on xbox live then you'll know that almost all of them are pretty lame. There's nothing addictive about them and there's nothing that makes you want to come back for more.

In today's triple AAA game's what makes you want more? Well multiplayer makes game's unboring because it's like everytime is different. Like Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, if you have played the campaign part of the game its really fun the first time you play it and once you beat it you dont want to play it again and thats because it's going to be the same thing again whether you up the difficulty or not it's going to be the same thing and your going to know exactly what is going to happen when you play it again.

The best game in the world you ask? A game that never ends of course but in todays time it's not really possible the closest your going to get to a forever game would be of course mulitplayer games.

People that make indie games with XNA can make their games multiplayer and thats what most of them should be focusing on if they want to be successful.
