    Have you actually played the game?

    It's easy to bash indie game developers because they don't have the latest graphics, or the most extensive content. Yet at the same time, people like to proclaim that they value gameplay over graphics. Well, okay, if that's the case, don't immediately bash new indie games just because they don't support per-pixel realtime radiosity gooberlicious jabberwonky buzztrendword. Lore was made by a dedicated but small team. I think they've done an awesome job with their available resources.

    Download Lore. Try it out. You might be surprised to find you really don't care about the "dated" graphics and enjoy playing it.

    Sorry if this comes off to strong and upsets you, but being an indie, I am tired of being pigeonholed by people who want to have their cake and eat it too.

    Yeah, not worth trying out if their independant development team couldn't afford a million-dollar graphical art budget.

    Sure, it might be fun as hell, but how could you torture your eyes with such images!?

    To be fair, I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion.

    Unless, of course, they were to challenge the views of people who have judged a game by actually playing it, rather than by just looking at the screenshots.
