How do they keep releasing 10/10's over and over again all the time? Can they be stopped?
I know this is a bait thread, but I feel this way about Hooded Horse. I know I can pick up any of their games and I'll easily sink a few dozen hours into each one of them.
Why did people get mad over Mixtape but not over Stray(I'm not saying this to defend Mixtape, I just genuinely think Stray deserves to be hated for being a shitty toxotransmosis moviegame)
>>738728290Plenty of people complained about Stray, but even that game was not as an obvious nepo plant project like Mixtape
Apparently not the same Annapurna since 2024
>>738728290whats the problem with strayits a walking simulator where you play as a catthe mere suggestion that that could be anywhere as offensive as the jewish subversion that is mixtape makes your post honestly pretty suspect
>>738730385Cats are a powerful subversive cultural force precisely because of how inoffensive they are.The most universally appealing things are the easiest instruments of mass manipulation
>>738728290stray didnt get as many 10/10s in the most blatant bought journo operation in the history of videogames and people did get extremely disappointed by stray being a non-game after release too.
>>738728290Stray didn't get 10s
journalists suffer trying to control the ship in outer wilds kekbasically not the same company anymore
>>738728290stray didn't get spammed with 10/10s, it getting nominated for goty was kind of comical thoughI played it, it's incredibly mediocre but probably got lots of bonus points from normies bc dude cats lmao and the aesthetic
>>738730801>>738730812Does it have to get that bad for anyone to bother to do something?
>>738731125Outer wilds also got spammed with 10/10 by journalists
>>738731312at least it had gameplay + was doing something interesting
>>738731312bazinga infants who fucking loved science
>>738728290Stray had gameplay and everyone likes cats besides a handful of creeps. Mixtape has no gameplay and not everyone is nostalgic for the 90s.
>>738731636>and everyone likes catsdid you consider that maybe that's the problem?
>>738731228walking sims will always exist they should just not be held to a high regard.
>>738727906literally who?
>>738731791but the problems that mixtape exemplifies exist in all kinds of games, not just walking simsyou gun and ball gamers are literally so stupid that you will let them rape you as long as you get your fix
>>738731863meds
>>738731930prove you're not a gun and ball gamer right now
>>738728290Are you asking a genuine question or just farming for replies? Stray is an actual game, there is simple but functional gameplay, and I don't think there's anyone who said it was the greatest thing since sliced bread.
>>738731731In what sense? That it's easy mode to get extra review points and sales?
>>738732009That people with malicious intents can use cats to shield themselves from criticisms and everyone will just slurp it up and let them get away with it because it's cats

Why does /v/ get mad at everything?
>>738732140If anything, all modern problems originate from people not being mad enough
>>738732063What was malicious about Stray?
>>738728290Stray was okay and it was treated as such
>>738732329same shit as mixtape (casualslop), just catsyou hate mixtape because you hate woke. I hate mixtape because I want all casuals and non-gamers exterminated. We are not the same

>>738732140 because this board runs purely on contrarian spiteif a game is popular, it's overrated if it's niche, it's pretentious if it has gameplay, it's samey if it doesn't, it's a walking sim if it has a cat, it's emotional manipulation if it doesn't, it should've had a cat /v/ doesn’t get mad at everything, it just metabolizes enjoyment into discourse and calls it a hobby
>>738734523stop replying to your questions
>>738731125annapurna does not develop games but just publishes them, outer wilds was made by a separate company
