There are some rare but notable exceptions, though: The first three Splinter Cells are among my favorite games ever. As much as I hate Valve, I have to admit, both Portal games are phenomenal (although Portal itself is ultimately rooted in indie-land via Narbacular Drop). And Japan can still be relied on as much as ever to produce some very good games: MegaMan 9, Kororinpa, No More Heroes, Resident Wiivil 4, probably half the games Atlus publishes like 3D Dot Game Heroes, etc. (Although I guess many of those aren't really "big-budget". But they're not strictly indie either.)
