Is this the most journobait game ever?>nobody ever heard of it, zero advertising>’minimalistic’ gameplay>story driven where the story is millennial nostalgiabait (speaking as a millennial)>overly stylized visuals, that also betrays a lack of technological experience>unanimous 10/10 reviews across all major outletsYou have to actually try to be retarded enough to think this is legit.The only question is was it paid reviews or did the devs know what journos eat up?

>never heard of this until 2 threads on /v/how much are they paying you?
I always have to laugh whenever millennials try to create these ‘punk rock’ characters with skateboards and skinny jeans, only for them to inevitably be revealed as coming from super-wealthy, crime-free, picturesque neighborhoods and loving two-parent households
>>738524487>nobody ever heard of it, zero advertisingThe original reveal trailers were highly visible on Geoff's show and/or Xbox showcases, thougbeit.
>>738524487The journo score sure is 10/10 bait, considering you fags keep making threads about it.
>>738524487What the fuck are you talking about? I'm a millennial and there's literally nothing relatable about this game at all, whatsoever, just like that dogshit Life Is Strange game.
This is going to win GOTY. Calling it now.
>Journalists are scumbag subhumans who lie, cheat and swindleWOAH!I never knew!That's insane!
pirating it right now
>>738524487giving this straight 10s and crimson desert a 6 just proves to me i should never trust reviews ever, if anything i should play the ones they score low
>>738527427crimson desert is trash korean slop though

>>738524730Well, the company is bankrolled by Megan Ellison, the daughter of Larry Ellison who made the Oracle Corporation.So that checks out.
>>738524487So it's the exact same situation as Expedition 33, 2025's GOTY winner?
>>738524487i'm a millenial and i have absolutely no urge to play this shit.
>>738524487I don't know why they didn't just make a movie. It wants to be a movie. It's basically a movie with minor interactive elements. If it was a movie, it would be extremely derivative but still pretty cool and would probably be mildly popular. As a game it's just garbage. Complete media mismatch.And by the way, nothing screams "90s" like the shitty fucking low-frame animation style popularized in 2018
>>738524562>opinion discardedopinion discarded
>>738526963Yeah, it's just hipster shit wearing a shallow impression of the 90s as its "brand"
>>738528502>opinion discarded>opinion diacardedOpinion's considered.
>You're listening to "Hip To Be Square." A song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends. It's also a personal statement about the band itself. Hey, Slater!
>>738528095just buy and play it yourself, support based devs

Another thinly veiled advertising thread that will remain on front page until bump limit, thanks op.
>>738528103Extremely close Trump ally, of course.Meaning that Mixtape is a MAGA game.
>>738528881pirating it as we speak
I'm trying to watch it on youtube but it's just so fucking boringand I'm getting legit filtered by the terrible animation effect and the unlikable characters
This is the best game i played since Chrono Trigger, i feel like i just started playing SNES for the first time with my brother that passed away years ago. The gameplay is the most revolutionary concept that it will change how we see game as a medium, every dialogue makes Tolkien obsolete. I've been crying everytime i hear the main menu theme, i brought this game 10 times already and i just changed my pronouns to She/her. Thank you /v/ , my buttcheeks will be forever yours in this mixtape
Played it on Game Pass.It was alright.
>>738524487It's good!
>>738524487Looks like we got another gamergate on our hands.
>>738530894No it isn't
>>738530796Can you finally make one thing clear for us? The LGBT tag on Steam. What "wokeness" and how much does the game have?I can endure a fag or two. I don't mind skin colours either. Both things exist in real world, so they can exist in a game, unless it's 90% of characters. But does the game feel like typical progressive preaching or is it moderate and just tells a fucking story?
>>738524487Music is 10/10Gameplay is 8.4/10Writing is 8/10
>>738531132It is. Bad games can't be overwhelmingly positive on Steam.
>>738524487>nobody ever heard of it, zero advertisingYou're starting a thread and already admit that you're a normalfaggot in the second sentence? I've heard about the game almost two years ago for the first time.
look how one review got all the kirktards talking about the game
>>738530796These guys don't dress like they're from the 90s.
>>738524487I feel weird.I really shouldn't care about this game at all. It is not made for me, I do not need to play it, it is being made by a studio that I do not care about. They are not taking away resources from a game I love to put into something I don't. It is not live service. It really isn't bad for the industry.Yet I have such a strong, adverse, negative reaction to it. Way more than AAA slop that I actually think is hurting the industry. There is just something about this pathetic wallowing in nostalgia that just infuriates me on some kind of fundamental level. Living in the past and replaying sepia toned flashbacks of things you never even experienced. I dunno. It's weird because I am old enough that the music should be 'nostalgic' for me, but I just look at this and feel a strong sense of embarrassment.
>>738524487it's obviously wokeslop shilled by woke urinalists, every day hundreds of games come out on steam but they somehow decided to review this shit that nobody ever heard about
>>738531217only wokies would spend money on it and review
>>738524487>the reviewer who rated it a 10 also rated disco elysium (the final cut) and god of war ragnarok a 10/10Do you agree?
>>738531204What even is the gameplay? It looks like a TV show
>>738531217Oh I see, you're being sarcastic
>>738531476tongue wrestling
>>738531450
>>738524487i like it
>>738531476It's just mini games all over, the most game like is when you play softball
>>738528774kek underrated
>>738532059>It's just mini games all overI would be cool with that, but those "mini-games" are really boring and barely interacting.
>>738525068>Geoff's show and/or Xbox showcasesOnly a journos handful of non journos actually give a shit about those, everyone else is only there for the cringe and not paying attention to trash. Not the best place to advertise some random devs that made a shit $5 tier game.
>>738524487>unanimous 10/10 reviews across all major outletsThe most obvious industry plant to ever industry plant
>>738532182How many do you want in a 3hr game?
>>738527410grab some popcorn for this movie.
>>738531204>music is 10/10>all music is just copyrighted from 90s singersno shit
>>738531153nta but you don't need to be forward with full on trans etc propaganda to be woke. The game has people that take on completely unisex roles. You can't distinguish between male and female by their behavior, and at times, like with the main character, even by their appearance. There is no division between genders, the girls try to act like boys, the boys aren't masculine, etc. It's a rewriting of 90s history because the real 90's had very clearly defined gender roles. Girls definitely behaved and dressed like girls, and boys behaved and dressed like boys. It's revisionism. It's not 90s at all.
>>738524487It's literally Gone Home 2.0. Allegedly without the faggots this time. Or Life is Strange. Either of the two. Indie devs suck dick. They're always making trash.
>>738531375As a skateboarding, punk millennial teen, this is disingenuous to the point of self-delusion. It's a very limp-wristed attempt at a retcon of their own teenage years and it is rightly off-putting.
>>738533040Tomboys were everywhere in the 90s, you're just a brown honor culture faggot
>>738533218the females in the game aren't tomboys. They're fully unisex in their behaviors and always tiptoeing around heterosexuality yet fully willing to dabble with homosexuality. You didn't have that in the 90s you retarded faggot.
>>738531153There are implied lesbians. That's all I can think of really.>>738533040Im definitely a racist chuddy incel or whatever but you have lost yourself to your own mental illness.
>>738533218even tomboys you knew their gender
>>738533390>Im definitely a racist chuddy incel or whatevernigga you lost before it ever began, kill yourself.
>>738528103>people confusing publishers with developers yet againnever fucking fails
>>738533029it's not even used well, which is funny considering the game is about a girl who wants to manage the score for movies and shit
>>738533218>>738533338Tomboys are girls with some added masculinity.These are girls with their femininity removed.There is a fundamental difference.
>>738533647this. Tomboys are kino. that anon is fucking retarded for confusing whatever the fuck these things are in the game with real tomboys.
>>738533338Several conversations revolve around the boys they've been with, the only sexual scene in this game is a white man kissing a white woman
>>738533338the first 10 mins of the game is talking about getting a boyfriend, you havent played the game nigger.
>>738529025so its jew slop
>>738533853>>738533936>Several conversations revolve around the boys they've been with, the only sexual scene in this game is a white man kissing a white womanand every single one is treated in a satirical, negative manner. if you can't pick up on the fact that they purposefully injected the failed hetero things in there to be authentic to the 90s yet gave it a bad look to appease the modern agenda, you're retarded. This shit is elementary but absolute cattle like you will always fall for the simplest revisionism because you're subhumans.
>>738531375its called "mixtape derangement syndrome", this entire board has it
>>738524487Neither. It's by Annapurna, an extremely astroturfed company at the center of the San Francisco leftist tranny clique that was created and funded by some trust fund Jew related to a very powerful finance Jew.
>>738529025Do redditors really think like this
>>738534023lol this faggot just making shit up to get mad about
>>738524730>90s>skinny jeansuh
>>738524487>nobody ever heard of it, zero advertisingWhat do you think you're doing right now?You and your manufactured outrage engagement bait should fuck right off.
>>738534128you're either brown, retarded, or both to not be able to grasp those simple concepts, faggot
>>738531375>>738533217This game is the definition of power. The soundtrack is dogshit too, less than 5 tracks anyone who grew up in the 80's and 90's has even heard of. "Coming of age story" attached to a clearly woke looking game like this is the loudest tranny grooming dogwhistle imaginable.
>>738534023I think you've been raped too many times by woke games, there is only normal friendship between the trio
>>738534352Meant poser* dumb fucking autocorrect
>>738534359People with an actual functioning brain understand that the game is dishonest revisionism. Retards like you are simply born to be absolute dullards and unable to pick up on anything really.
>>738534326take your meds fagatron
>>738534491simmer down, shitskin.
>>738524487i enjoy walking simulators, but anything cringe that is written by a fat retarded loser trying to image what it was like to have friends as a teenager is revolting
>>738531375> industry.Yet I have such a strong, adverse, negative reaction to it. Way more than AAA slop that I actually think is hurting the industry. There is just something about this pathetic wallowing in nostalgia that just infuriates me on some kind of fundamental level. Living in the past and replaying sepia toned flashbacks of things you never even experiencedThat’s 90% of media made in the past 15 years. We stopped looking forward and retreat endlessly into the better days of the past. Michael Jackson is the most popular movie theaters AND the most popular artist on streaming.
>>738524487>Look at steam reviews>Star wars reference>IT HIT ME IN MY MEMBER BERRIES. THIS IS SO 90'S!!
>>738526963This. This garbage reeks of Gen X. Only people who were already 15-20 by the mid 90's might relate to this pathetic troon shit (doubtful though). Absolutely nothing about this speaks to millenials, who would have all been actual children not teens and young and adults in the 90's. The awful soundtrack has almost nothing my generation even recognizes in it.
>>738524487>>nobody ever heard of it, zero advertisingand yet here you are
>>738524487>was it paid reviews or did the devs know what journos eat up?Without doing any research, I'm gonna assume it's a Blue Prince type situation where the developers just happen to be friends with like every critic.It's got that vibe.
>>738524487>>nobody ever heard of it, zero advertisingAre you serious? What do you think all those glowing reviews are?
the journos are the advertising. see E33
>>738534408You did nail it that this is what a game made by now-grown millennial-era posers (drama kids, try hards, etc.) would feel like.
>>738531375There is something incredibly fake and forced about this game, and in a way that is super obvious to most people. It feels like a Tumblr fanfiction about teenage experiences that the developers definitely never had. They aren't fooling anyone.
>>738533390So it's just another case of "game is woke because it doesn't say 'WE HATE NIGGERS, JEWS, TROONS AND FAGS' on the title screen".I'll get it on a sale one day when I feel like playing something "relaxing" without any challenge, thanks.
Stop comparing this game to E33. E33 had the message that nostalgia and living vicariously through fictional characters are bad.
>>738524487>the idealized woke world but in the 90sat least the past can't be altered by these faggots
>>738533436Nigger. Kill yourself. >>738533936Yet they’re bisexual. Retarded nigger faggot. >>738534102KYS>>738534128Undeniably you’re a brown gorilla nigger retard. >>738534491Reminder you kikes are told to project and are proven to all be schizophrenic
>>738535324What do you mean? They are constantly, and I mean constantly, revising and rewriting history in their own mentally ill and evil image.
>>738535434>being this mindbroken over a game that isn't even particularly popularEmbarrassing.
If this game were about hanging out with anime girls like a K-ON simulator you fags would be calling it game of the generation. You only don’t like it because the teens are ugly.
>>738535635If they made a game where you hung out with moe anime girls, leftists would be pressuring payment processors to have it delisted. BlueSky would be calling it pedo-bait, and demanding a hard drive sweep of everyone who downloaded it.
I posted it last thread, the devs hired a literal Goldberg to branch out their media. These devs also made that silent hill with a nigger protag judging from the website
>>738534942>This garbage reeks of Gen X.This had to be made by le wrong generation late millennial/zoomer who never touched a cassette. The fishtail skate deck shapes and most of the soundtrack are 1980s stuff.
>>738535635the girls are really cute in the game though
I never heard a single thing about it until I loaded up youtube this morning and saw 10/10 IGN I was gonna watch that video later but them guy posted a twitter vid here of some lesbian talking about how it's not even a game as it plays itself and ran through some of the most cringe ass genx/millennial/zoomer/80s/90s/early 2000s bait imaginable whatever pronouns faggot dyke made this must give the utmost highest quality blowjobs ever to video game journos
>>738536335It's worse. The devs are essentially funded by Israel, so tranny journalists have to praise it to keep their job.
>>738536335It’s like 2 hours long just watch it on youtube. Watching a 20 minute IGN review of a 2-3 hour game is ridiculous.It’s well made for what it is but video game websites giving it a perfect score is ridiculous. This is a low point for game design and interactivity.
>>738534848>There is just something about this pathetic wallowing in nostalgia that just infuriates me on some kind of fundamental level.It never really feels sincere. It's like it's co-opted as an "aesthetic" or used for nostalgia bait. It's lazy.>We stopped looking forward and retreat endlessly into the better days of the past. Michael Jackson is the most popular movie theaters AND the most popular artist on streaming.It's like everyone just decided to collectively give up on innovating or having standards. The past was better than now by a large margin, but the answer to that is to make now better, not get stuck looking backwards. There's a kind of patheticness to it, and I say this as someone who almost exclusively engages with old media instead of the shit we have now.It's kind of like a bread and circus thing. People allow themselves to be cattle being milked with endless, low effort nostalgia bait products. They'll grin from ear to ear as they're reminded of better times, but they won't admit that those times were better, or why. Instead they will tut and wave their fingers at you for even suggesting it, and then go right back to consuming nostalgia product with that same dumbfuck grin plastered on their face as they wallow in the consumer icons of their childhood.
How come IGN is still so powerful?
>>738536762Western countries are filled with double digit IQ illiterate brown people now. Of course we’re going to reminisce about times before we were invaded.
>highly rated artsy millennialbait game that has zero real gameplay made for geoff keighley specifically We've had like 500 of these. Why are the incels so mad this time?
>>738524487some cocks were definitely sucked under the table for this piece of redditshit to get these reviews
>>738524487I hate this style of animation, Spiderverse had the same thing.
>>738537459It's not like I don't understand, anon. I'm talking more about the people who compulsively reminisce while ignoring the reasons they need to.They're heavily drawn to the past and they won't allow themselves to understand why, and they exclusively do it through carefully packaged nostalgia product sold to them by the same companies that ensure everything is shit now, because they're massive fucking NPC consumers at their core
I'm installing it bros :3
>>738524487Millenials are the new boomers
>>738539316>20 minutes to install a game you can download portably in 1.Shitskins are truly something else. Can't believe i share the internet with you animals.
>>738539316Are you retarded? Just get a portable version.
>>738539693>a portable versionBut I play on the desktopI'm not that anon lmao
>>738539869>But I play on the desktopThat's not what portable means.
>>738528774I chuckled but she seems like she'd hate New Wave.
>>738531153There's a gay joke about the two main characters fucking that is just that, a joke. People put that tag on anything that looks a certain way even though it isn't true.
>>738539928you're talking to a literal monkey, dude. Just leave it alone
>>738531375Aren't you the type to say "this is what they took from you" and post a picture of a McDonald's play place
It's funny how anons keep repeating that NO ONE had heard of it. I had it wishlisted from the moment I saw the trailer a couple years ago. Experience itself was a bit of a letdown, but whatever--didn't pay. It's just a little nostalgia fuel story you play for three hours and then forget about. Story games always get 10s and 9s. You all know this; Edith Finch, Firewatch, Night in the Woods &c.
VGAb8, it's going to sweep
Millennials never fucked with cassette tapes, that was for old people Millennials used CDs
>>738540550Retarded larper
>>738524730Yeah it's hilarious seeing all these pussy fags worship "punk culture" when they grew up middle class or rich and have never done anything violent in their lives
>>738540143No? McDonalds is fucking disgusting and I've thought so since I was a kid. Also I tend to actively avoid nostalgiabait because I feel embarrassment when I am pandered to. I will occasionally go down memory lane and listen to an OST from a game I loved as a kid, but that is a 15-20 minute affair usually when I am reminded by the music by someone or something.I am not really right wing or left wing since you're basically calling me one of those statuecuck evropa faggots on twitter.
>>738540575Cassettes were boomer culture. People who grew up with cassettes are 50+ years old. Millennials had "mobile" CD players that skipped every time you took a step
>>738524487It's clearly Depression Quest all over again.
Oneyplays playthrough when? I just watched some random moments on a youtube walkthrough and I can see them having some fun with this one.
>>738524487It's astroturfed to fuck and back, yeah.
>>738540714We had both, Discman was cutting edge.
>was it paid reviews or did the devs know what journos eat up?It's just another industry plant game meant to subvert the medium. These people hate video games and the people that play them and are just waving it in your face because they can.
>>738531375I think there's something to be said that not every moment needs to be blended and commodified, or made into art.And I think as an adult you are meant to find your teenage years embarassing but valuable, perhaps a little personal, but ultimately fleeting and done with.The idea of revisiting it in art is just sort of pathetic, almost like an admission you can't grow up. Especially when it's just middle class first world problem stuff, it genuinely couldn't be less relevant.I used to think wanky stories about people growing up as asylum seekers was cringe but like...there is some value there. This "remember the 90s" shit has literally nothing to say.The thing is, the aesthetic still has some value and could be applied to some game with more complexity, but of course no, it's just some visual novel that plays itself.
>>738540714Older millennials born in the 80s had cassettes. Especially since the mobile cd players you're talking about aren't as easy to carry around as a cassette walkman.Even if we say they aren't really millennials (they are) and go back a generation you'd be looking at gen X, not boomers.
>zero advertising
>>738524487you wouldn't get it zoom zoom
>>738524730Yeah. Just like Blink 182.
>>738541236>And I think as an adult you are meant to find your teenage years embarassing but valuable, perhaps a little personal, but ultimately fleeting and done with.I get what you're saying, and obviously being too fixated on the past is not healthy, but I think it's silly to suggest that you are "meant" to feel something in particular about any stage of your life.
>>738531375It's because it's so cheap and psychologically manipulative. Namedropping old songs and pointing the camera at 90s objects like you're expected to stand up and clap for each one. Like holding a toy in front of a baby to get it to smile. You would have to be so developmentally stunted and repressed to be entertained by something like this that it just feels insulting, and the fact that it even exists, let alone is getting unanimous praise from the gaming press, feels dystopian. This is the level that they think you've been cheapened to. A permanent mental infant who smiles and claps when the bright colorful 90s toy pops up on screen.
>>738541640>This is the level that they think you've been cheapened to. A permanent mental infant who smiles and claps when the bright colorful 90s toy pops up on screen.NTA but that's a fantastic way to put it
>Look how BADASS and METAL the characters are they STEAL SHIT and REBEL AGAINST THEIR LOVING PARENTS don't you think they're awesome?I don't mind characters being idiots and I don't mind romanticizing the punk rebel archetype, but it's weird how desperate the game is to present the characters as cool, without actually giving a reason to think they're coolSo far they seem to have no redeeming qualities, unless you count them being vaguely fond of each other. Is it like that the whole way through?
It's so good bros, the intro is incredible
>>738542364>it's so good>the introlmao
>>738524487Just watched the trailer for this. The target audience is 100% for Netflix "people": Fans of strangers things or those series just about 2 gay/lesbian teens and their relationship is the whole premise of the show. Little to no gameplay was shown in the trailer I watched: just all the names of bands they got for their target audience to gawk at; make them think being gay and listening to old bands is a personality. Shit looks like it will play like Dustborn.
>>738543008>Shit looks like it will play like DustbornIt's even worse than that. It barely plays at all. 99% of it is completely on rails, with you occasionally walking around a bedroom or doing a disconnected minigame. You don't even choose dialogue.It's even less of a game than any other movie game or walking simulator that you can name.
>>738543008THE CHARACTERS ARE NOT EVEN GAY AND TALK ABOUT BOYS THEY WANT TO FUCK MY GOD
>>738543289>or doing a disconnected minigameSorry, I shouldn't call it a "minigame" since there's no interaction, method of scoring skill, or pass/fail state. It's just moments of slight interactivity like pouring a slushie or skipping a rock while everyone talks.
>>738543327Act like a fag, get called a fag. That's what the 90s was. Deal with it
>>738524487>Game tries to be a '90s alt skateboarding throwback>They're wearing skinny jeans, lumberjack plaid, headphones around the neck and other indie hipster stomp clap hey fashion from the '10sEvery time. Why can't they get it right???
>>738543571>Hates stomp clap music/hipster dressJust saying "I hate white people" is easier you know
>>738524487i fucking hate that art style, it reeks of lgbtand the animation feels like a movie lagging up, it's why i couldn't watch spiderverse slop
>>738543660Same here. I loathed how Spiderverse animated.
>>738524487this is officially the Angela Anaconda of videogames.
>>738543427There are zoomers today that call each other fags just like the 90smy gf is one
>>738524487of course the devs know how to appeal to 40 year old normies, the target audience of this game.titanium court is a similar journo game actual gamers don't care for.
This game is made by the former vocalist/guitarist of a band called The Galvatrons, whose music is throwback 80s music. So nostalgia bait appears to have been this guy's track record even before he started making games. Seems like another typical case of someone from another industry coming into games with no real understanding of the medium and using them as a vehicle to push whatever artistic "message" they want to push (in this case that message being cheap nostalgia).
>>738543994For someone who claims to be a musician, he has shockingly horrendous taste in it going by the dogshit soundtrack.
>>738543994The game company also hired a "Susan Goldberg" last year to promote cross media shit like shows/movies. Looks like they are going all in on that modernslop
>>738543650'90s was the last bastion of everyone liking white people. '10s was the beginning of all the political movements that were anti-white and it coincided with the stomp clap hey era. It was also officially the death of rock as we know it. Coldplay, Imagine Dragons, The Black Keys etc. all being championed as "hard rock" on the radio but it was the beginning of the pussification of white music.
i hung out with skateboarders growing up. these "characters" dont resemble skateboarders at all.
>>738524487it's clearly made by the people and for the people who hate the word "gamer" and don't use the word "fun". wouldn't be surprised if it won geoff's goty to "send the message to incel chuds".
>>738541602or green day. what a dumb fucking comment by the other guy, as if anyone can agree on what punk fucking even means.
>>738544171Beethoven and Dinosaur? I can't find much information about them.
>>738544110It's even funnier. The game is about a girl who desperately wants a career "pairing the perfect song for the corresponding moment", and the game has some of the worst, most flat scoring I've ever seen. They completely misunderstand how to incorporate music into a game, or even into a movie.
>>738544668Just typical mid movies https://www.imdb.com/news/ni63615751/, wonder what kind of shit they will push in their "documentaries"
>>738524487I think /v/ is the only place that cares about this game
>>738544963That's the publisher, not the dev.
>>738545014But it's a 10/10 game everyone must be talking about it!?
>>738545014we have to be angry about something new every day.
>>738545014>>738545146It's a recent release with some minor visibility, and it's an amusing game to discuss. This is a video game board.
>>738545014>>738545263Thankfully it's a complete flop. Sold like 2000 copies lmao.
>>738545390Deserved. It's a terrible game.
>>738545014Bother, its a 10/10 Masterpiece *****, what do you mean? The EXPERTS have spoken.
>>738524487I think we are looking at a new depression quest situation here, no one ever heard about this game before journos woke up and decided to give it 10s
>>738545446Can it even be called a game? Are there even success and failure conditions? Are there even mechanics? It just looks like a movie with extra steps.
>>738528774
>>738545390Where are you getting that? By the way 1-3% of all users who buy games leave a Steam review.
>>738541602>>738544415>Late punk era pop bands define what a punk isGlowniggers detected
>>738545638SteamDB
>>738545515>Can it even be called a game?No, only in the sense that it was released on a gaming platform and purports to be one. It's really not one. It's a shitty movie with incredibly minor interactive elements. It's lacking interactivity even by the standard of movie games and walking simulators. You don't even choose dialogue.
>>738545448I will remind you today how these "experts" spent hours in cuphead tutorial and gave crimson desert low scores because the controls were too hard to learn.
>>738545515No. It really has zero gameplay. Even the top Steam reviews are all saying "love the story and characters, but this is more like an animated movie with interactive moments".
>>738545680>It's lacking interactivity even by the standard of movie games and walking simulators.I thought the same from looking at footage. The closest thing would be David Cage games but those actually have branching narratives and are well-written. So where is the praise coming from?
>>738545638>By the way 1-3% of all users who buy games leave a Steam review.Usually, but you're thinking of organic reviews. If a bunch of fake reviews have been purchased for a game with low sales, the review to purchase ratio can be significantly higher.
Next time critics rate some shit you have adopted as important for your console warrior tastes please remember how illegitimate they are.
>>738524487DEI galore
>>738545670It's number 29 in top sellers.
>>738545014>Game that got trailers at SGF, I think Xbox events, and other major gaming events>Got a 10/10 from the most recognizable and mainstream game news source>People are discussing thatYou're weird. People like you are weird. It is always "OH, WHY ARE YOU DISCUSSING THIS GAME ON /v/, ARE YOU OBSESSED?!?!?"It a 10/10 from fucking IGN. That is very noteworthy.
>>738545882Thats way far down the list. Peak players 2200. It's a complete flop.
>>738545807Critics are illegitimate no matter what they are reviewing, and whether or not their rating aligns with my opinion.They simply cannot be trusted.
I watched 3 minutes of someone playing this. They were just running forward for 3 whole minutes. This is a fucking walking sim.Also the game is only a few hours long. It's garbage.
Honestly I bet the devs and journos are sleeping together again.
>>738546067>They were just running forward for 3 whole minutes. This is a fucking walking sim.It's not.The segment you saw is the exception. Most of the game is watching cutscenes and walking around a bedroom looking at shit lmaoIt isn't even interactive enough to qualify as a walking sim. It is just a shitty movie with occasional fits of interaction
>>738546085The lead dev is a dude so it's more likely Annapurna is paying them off.
>>738546085In this case, the developer/publisher are based in San Francisco right down the street from the main IGN office. People at both companies have been buttbuddies from day one.
Even if this wasn't woke trash made by Twitter tranny leftists, I think journalists would all still give it 10's because it's 2 hours long and plays itself. Literally the easiest work day of your life would be to complete and review this trash, so they automatically love it for letting them do essentially zero work. Especially if it's their only assignment that week.
>>738528774I legit got these vibes from the song intros. It's fucking uncanny
>>738545989>>738545390Peak players and total sales do not correlate like that. Dispatch had 2 milly and 220k concurrent for the finale, and it had built up a bit of hype.So probably the actual sales numbers might be closer to 10-20k, absolute maximum 50k but that is being extremely generous beyond reason.Still far from good.
Studio was made by australian hipsters. They failed multiple kickstartes and somehow they got funded and made a 10/10 game.I'm actually surprised Hipsters are still around.Source: https://www.well-played.com.au/made-in-australia-beethoven-dinosaur/
>>738524730because they had it soooooooooo rough and nobody understands them.
>>738531375>It really isn't bad for the industry.arguable
>>738546794I forgot The Artful Escape was an 8/10 too. He's a genius!
>>738546794He talked about how "there's actual money in the video game scene" when asked by Unreal about what it was like to transition from music to games. He also mentioned "the parties have budgets". Who is throwing expensive parties for a no-name dev who had a failed Kickstarter campaign?
>>738546794He looks like the biggest faggot imaginable. Which checks out for someone who would make this trash.
>>738545014>game getting 10s>only place that cares about it is shitting on itso it really is an industry plant
>>738547094just another case of people who have no business or passion for getting into video games, getting into video games and being funded + astroturfed by the big wigs.
>>738539316Better version heremagnet:?xt=urn:btih:60CA7A861FA5DB43250F7E46FECB70FAB9FE4307&tr=http%3A%2F%2Fbt4.t-ru.org%2Fann%3Fmagnet&dn=%5BDL%5D%20Mixtape%20%5BP%5D%20%5BRUS%20%2B%20ENG%20%2B%2011%20%2F%20ENG%5D%20(2026%2C%20Adventure)%20(1.1)%20%5BPortable%5D
>>738546794>sharing the stage with a little band known as Def LeppardI suppose if this was the late 80s that might be impressive but in 2008 Def Leppard where a bunch of fucking nobodies. That's why a failed nobody Australian band was sharing a stage with them.
>>738545146Can we make the group outrage sessions weekly, instead of daily? That would be nice
>>738534352>"Coming of age story" attached to a clearly woke looking game like this is the loudest tranny grooming dogwhistle imaginable.
>>738550716the flops will continue until morale improves.
ok but how did they afford all the goodies they gave to reviewers
>>738524487yeah reeks of a fake indie injected with tencent money
>>738545390>sold more in 2 days than their previous game in 5 yearsIt's quite literally over, I bet they're hanging themselves as we speak.
>>738528774how there's still no porn with her
>>738528103Lemme just check aaaand>another "indie studio" run by an extremely well connected trust fund nepo baby who fled to california
>>738551758This game is funded with Australian government money btwhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VicScreen
>>738524487Gone Home 2 here we go!
>>738545390many of the copies in circulation will have been sold to a spam farm in india for a huge discount so they can have people dump positive reviews too.
>>738552016https://vicscreen.vic.gov.au/funding/games/#vpf-games
only 2000 players lmao another woke flop
>>738551697Founder of Oracle is the father of the foid that made the game or something like that apparently.Bankrolled.
seen a lot of clips of this game, does it have any gameplay at all? seems like you just press forward and theres an optional button press you can do.
>>738552016Seems like most of these non-games are also funded with government money. Their attempted capture of the industry couldn't be more blatant.
>>738552090The publisher Annapurna is run by Larry Ellisons daughter. But the dev studio is run by "Johnny Galvatron(Hole)" who's dad is a wealthy real estate mogul in Australia who's spent the last 20 years bankrolling his sons failed music career.
>>738552282It's a cinematic movie game.
>>738552325There must be some seriously rich people down under

>>738552370gross
>>738552325they just cant help themselves
>>738531375>It really isn't bad for the industry.wrong
This game is like the 90s envisioned by man-bun wearing hipsters homo troons. It's like saying Wolfenstein is historically accurate
>>738552458150k in 2022-2023https://vicscreen.vic.gov.au/images/uploads/1_VicScreen/VicScreen_-_Disclosure_of_Payments_2022-23_FA.pdf
>>738524487this looks like a worse project nortubel
>>738552565Nah, man, I WAS THERE! It was exactly like this!>t. man who was 3 years old at the turn of the millennium and got all his knowledge of the 90s watching reruns of Friends and Seinfeld.
>>738530796>only 13.53% of gamers could be be bothered to complete a walking sim that practically plays itselfMust be really fun.
>>738552598not a single game recognised
>>738552676>he doesn't know Gaystation Sunsine
>>738551758Anna Purna is a company whose owner is the daughter of one of the richest men in the world.When it was about to go bankrupt he used his bank connections to absorb the debt.They push many lame and gay games and the journalist caste is either in their pocket or simply friends with them.
>>738552598>we need to raise taxes because there's not enough money to fund essential government services>this is what they spend it on
>>738552856They are also branching out into shows, movies and documentaries
>>738552939I hope you are treating your abbos well
>>738552975pretty soon the debt will be too big to absorb mashallah
>>738552975they did that first afaik.anyways, this publisher seems pretty fake and gay and doesnt seem to need to care about releasing anything profitable because of an infinite money glitch.feels generally fishy. we will probably hear some weird stuff about them soon.
>>738553052moving to victoria and creating a expeditions type game where you subjugate the aborigines after acknowledging them
>>738524487>No open toed shoes on the cover at allFuck that shit. Not even pirating.
>>738524619>how does a woman have more than 8000 pictures on her phone?Have you seen how they use them? 8000 is low.
>>738553146as long you acknowledge them, it's fine I guess
>>738524487I just beat it. It was pretty good. I am a older millennial so nostalgia helped, but I also just thought it was comfy with a good soundtrack. If it was any longer I think I would have liked it a lot less. It is definitely not a 10/10. I did not pay for it and am glad I didn't. The glazing it is getting by journos is obviously manipulated. But it was an alright way to burn 4hrs in an afternoon.
>>738524487paid shills and journos
>>738545390it's on game pass, so devs made their money anyway, not like they cared since they're bankrolled by nepo baby of oracle unc
>>738553375Same. I posted more extensive thoughts on it earlier, but it was definitely "passable," even though the emotional core of the story is a little weak and it has almost nothing novel to it beyond "here's every single American High School Adventure trope ever." Cool soundtrack, fun enough, 'nuff said. 5.5/10. Didn't pay, lmao.
>>738553194This. I made fun of my parents for taking over 1000 photos on a 2 week long trip. My sister took over 1400 in a single weekend.My own phone, at 10 years of ownership, is just a little over 500 photos, including all the deleted ones based on the photo numbers.Women take an insane number of pictures.
>>738524487it's probably because the publisher is owned by Larry Ellison's daughter
>some random studio nobody ever heard of (the dont even have a entry on the wiki) in 2026 releases a game with literally 0 gameplay (someone did a count, you need to press a button 4 times to finish the game, including to start it) and gets 10/10s from every dogshit game journo sites who openly hate all video games, somehow has copyrighted music from some ultraleftie faggots and somehow got every game journo a special review copy readycompletely organic
>>738553798Entire thing stinks and the other thread is a nuclear crater. Wonder if it will last longer than a week
>>738535093>what a game made by now-grown millennial-era posers (drama kids, try hards, etc.) would feel like.It's easy to see the poser bullshit if you make the obvious connection that the kids who would actually do reckless stunts would prefer a game that lets you do even crazier stunts like Tony Hawk's pro skater or Grand theft auto. You fantasize about what you don't have.
>>738524487I don't think anyone involved with this "game" is old enough to have ever heard a mix tape.
>>738552001Why the fuck would there be? No one with a working dick would get off to that shit.
This game appeared out of nowhere yesterday
they are paying anyone lmao
>>738528774These characters genuinely look so ugly. I feel like this artstyle could've generated good looking characters but it's like they just mathematically made them ugly just for the sake of it
>>738524487Cassandra is a cutie.
>>738554367The usual journo pushed trash
>>738524730Anon, that's exactly where these type of people have always come from. Poors don't aspire to look like shit. It's a nepotism aesthetic.
>>738528774It's hip to fuck bees
>>738552325Annapurna allowed Outer Wilds to happen, but that won't excuse funding future crap games.
>>738554367If you only play AAA, sure. I watch a lot of game trailers so I knew it was coming. Besides, they name-dropped Roxy Music so that kinda got my attention
>>738524487>>nobody ever heard of it, zero advertisingAnd I could have gone on not hearing about it if you fucking faggots didn't make sure there were at least two threads on it up at all times.
>>738554648They also made the silent hill with black man happen, wonder how many people even know that shit exists though
>>738554384>I yearn for more gay storiesWhy the fuck are liberals like this?
>>738554384Nigeria will save Mixtape
>>738554824Ew. So all in all they funded 1 (one) good game and the rest is garbage. I bet the Outer Wilds sequel will be crap too.
yup goty
