The reason you hate Mixtape is because it's not trying to hide what it is. You put up with a lot of bad design from supposedly "real" games but this is what crosses the line?
Yes, I am a proud anti-semite, professional racist and competetive level hater of women.
Normalgoys let the industry shills do whatever they want and ignore the fact that 99% of all popular games are astroturfed nepotistic goyslop. They only notice or do anything about it when it crosses a line, and then that line gets normalized, and the normalgoys keep losing
>>738731528fpbp
I am a millennial and don't like any of the songs in that game.
>>738731528holy based
Concord at least had gameplay.
>>738731449/v/'s irrational hatred for this game will forever be mystery
>>738731449This is a nepobaby project of the Ellison family, THAT Ellison family. The ziokike demon piece of shit.So of COURSE basedlennials, redditors, trannies and faggot leftoid cocksuckers are going to defend it.Shitlib golem are a fucking disease. Soulless evil.
i only play gacha
I "hate" mixtape because despite having 0 interest in it I've seen more threads about this shit than it has concurrent players. My feelings about the game are a direct response to the agressive marketing strategy that you were hired for.
>>738736763Oh wow, you're quite perceptive. I suppose you think asmond is a marketer too?
>>738737818Who the fuck is asmond? I usually block tripfags on sight.
>>738731449I just think it looks ugly, bro. Haven't played it, never will. I don't even hate it, I just don't care about ugly non-games for irritating people.
>>738731449>supposedly "real" gamesThe ones with gameplay?
Why do you hate the gameplay? Don't play mobile games on your phone?

Behold, a video game!
>>738731449>Crimson Desert 6/10>Mixtape 10/10>"hmm, i wonder if the game journos are biased here">NO THEY AREN'T CHUD INCEL. BE QUIET.hmm
>>738740947>Crimson Desert >bloated, unfocused mess with no cohesion, even fans of it say it takes 20 hours to get good >Mixtape >dense, unpretentious, uncompromised vision, doesn't oversell itself
>>738737818Propagandists are a certain kind of marketer, yes. Just one of Night, Inc.'s little darlings.
>>738731449Bad design is one thingNo design is something else. Mixtape's GAMEPLAY OPTIONAL approach makes it even lesser of a game than your typical walking simulator. Even some VNs have more gameplay. It's just a movie.
>>738731528Any tips for a beginner hater of women? I just got into it and it's fun but I'm trying to up my game.
>>738740947>Crimson Desert 6/10To be fair, Crimson Desert absolutely is a 6/10 gameMixtape should be a 0/10
>>738741162Mixtape has no player agency, lasts for 3 hours, and has laughable writing.
Can see that sweet Ellison marketing money at work here and in all the mad shilling youtube comments anytime mixtape is talked about.Fucking non game piece of fake nostalgia crap made by faggot lefties who weren't even there. 10/10 best game of all time from all the usual suspect woke game journo shithouse cunts for a 3 hour long movie. More control input needed in a DVD menu. Absolute joke and I'm really glad it's getting absolutely shit on and mocked for being a totally in authentic piece of shit.No one likes a poser.
>You put up with a lot of bad design from supposedly "real" games but this is what crosses the line?Even a video game with bad design has something worth talking about, compared to this sterile millennial nostalgiaslop.>>738741162>unpretentiousSurely even you don't believe the bullshit you typed, marketer-kun
>>738731449Giving a game with no gameplay a 10/10 sets a bad precedent. On what grounds can you say a game with bad gameplay is worse than a game with 0 gameplay
>>738742627That's how it's obvious it has been totally bought and paid for. A legit review might praise it's story/atmosphere/soundtrack or the novelty of the non-gameplay 'interactivity' but then acknowledge that it's a little light on actual game and maybe at a stretch drop a 7 or 8/10 on it... But no, 10/10 across the board. So blatant it's hilarious these journos dare sit and say they're not bought out. I mean it's not a new thing. Studios have been wining and dining gaming journos as long as video games have been a thing but come on this is ridiculous.
>>738742627they literally give it a 10 because "muh coming of age storytelling so GOOD"it shows their collective bias.
>>738736763Based. I went from not knowing anything about this game to suddenly seeing it everywhere >10/10>10/10>Ive been waiting so long for this!>Perfect amount of water 10/10Then I look at the game.>Indie game that's only a couple hours long>Indie game that's a shitty story walking simulator with "mini games">Indie game that's a nostalgia baiting product>Indie games that recommends you have a GTX 3080 to play, despite it looking like shit and uses that low frame animation style that got popular >Fuck I hate the low fps style Yeah I hate it. I bought it, left a bad review, then refunded it. The devs can make whatever shit slop they want, but anyone that rated it a 10/10 deserves to be firing squad-ed
>>738731528t-this level of power...I cant...
>licensed music has financially hampered big devs and causes games to eventually remove it in updates or rereleases>some random no-name shadowdropped indie game can afford it just fine>it's also up for a lot of accolades>criticising it's 20 mins of 'gameplay' and 3.5 hr length is strictly verboten because "ew, negativity is for chuds"i'm noooticing
Millenials literally never stopped being kids and yet lament some silent death of their childhood. These guys hit 30 watching marvel and star wars, buying year passes to Disneyland, and collecting funkoslops, but were supposed to feel sad that they aren't 15 anymore.....t. Millenial
>>738740859for a second i thought this was a course select in the cars video game but i know that shit didn't have 32 of them
>>738731449No, I just hate vapid John Hughes style stories about the lives of rich white people who have literally no real concerns in their lives.

>>738743991I'm as nostalgiac as you can get because the world sucks now, and I hate capeshit, funkoslops, and this game because there's literally nothing I connect with about the art style, the characters, their fashion, or their personalities.

didn't we already do the "if u hate this shit game that barely has a 4 digit playerbase but somehow has sold 1 mil copies that we didn't just buy ourselves to astroturf popularity then u hate women" stuff like 10 years ago why's it back

>>738736532Based retard.
>>738731449It was brave enough to remove outdated and needless aspects of games such as: "friction", "frustration", "challenge", "failure". No wonder that the journalists liked it, I doubt that they even had to to be bribed.

>>738744569Oh yeah, Goodbye Volcano High is another one. Anyone else remember any? Felt like there was one of these every few years
>>738731528Strange, I don't remember making this post.
>>738735670>>738744620>only polchuds hate itIt only had like 2200 max players. That's not even enough revenue to song licence the game used. Let's not even talk about actual dev cost, marketing which includes goody bags for influencers, and most of all bribing the press to cover it to heaven. It's beyond a flop, it's a fucking disaster because the game (if it can even be called that) is shit.
>>738744529Has anything reviewed speedran it's way to losing all credibility faster than IGN?
>>738744567The usual suspects have lost control of the narrative, so now they're just throwing whatever at the wall in hopes that something sticks.
>>738735670>>738744620>/v/'s>/pol/'si've seen more people shitting on this game on twitter than here
Just play life is strange and life is strange: before the storm, and that sums up this whole genre.
From what I watched...1. The soundtrack, which is supposed to be a cohesive element, instead screams 'we got the rights to these more or less deep cuts for free' and/or 'the rights owners of said deep cuts would like for more exposure, please', which sort of (and by sort of i mean 'absolutely') diminishes any novelty, credibility, digressions about indie games and graphics, or any other positive arguments that could ever possibly be made for the """"""""""""""""""""game""""""""""""2. it's not worth it for me to continue, this game sucks ass on every single imaginable level. NO ONE WHO HAS EVER PLAYED A GAME WOULD GIVE IT A 10. NO ONE.
>>738745381It's hilarious how it appeals to no one, all it takes is one look at a couple screenshots to get that impression, let alone some video of the "gameplay".
>>738741628Interract with them. I deel the worplace is the best way to get your woman hater instincts honed
>>738745302Most of them are paid to give good reviews unless someone can fork out the cash. You should know this.
>>738744620You losers said the same thing about Gone Home 10 years ago.
>>738745758We aren't wrong
>>738745589It appeals to millennial fags that wanted to be punk rebels so bad but grew up in the suburban gated communities
>>738745816No one wanted to play your pretentious walking sims then, no one wants to play your pretentious walking sims now. Go back to GCJ and cry about it.
>game is called mixtape, but it's really about rewriteable CDs>which weren't prevalently, conveniently available until like 2001-2002>e.g. why you paid jamaal $3 for that outkast cd, seemed like a good enough deal>game tries to exist in like 1995-6 despite this>aesthetic is a not-even-on-the-nose mishmash of what some dumb fat bitch thought looked vaguely 90s>uses no (or little?) music from that Napster/Limewire era whose fires got basically fueled by the ability for a ton of average white kids to burn it on to CDs (e.g. emo, screamo). I didn't play this game, so maybe it 'goes there' at the end.It's just garbage, unnuanced trash
>>738745905Wrong again, twice..God damn boh
>>738731449> you hate MixtapeNo, I just don't care. Nothing I've seen of the 'game' has anything to do with the gameplay so I'm simply not going to buy it. I'll play other games.
>>738745996Good luck recouping your losses.
>>738745849Feels like if a hipster went and made a game about what they would've been like if they were teenagers in the 90s instead.
>>738744620It must suck being a gcj tranny having to pretend to enjoy so many bad games and having such a horribly performative life

>>738731449This game is proof that upper class people should not be allowed to make art.
>>738731449This game really got all of the failed film critics in the game journo industry to expose themselves. Great bait.
>>738731449>it's not trying to hide what it isa failed movie director's product?cause it sure looks like one
>>738731449I feel bad for the devs desuThey were just making a silly $17 John Hughes movie homage but journalists decided this would be a culture war game
>>738744567time is a flat circleexcept for the years before ~2010, it was just a line until then
some billionaire's daughter shits out an interactive DVD menu with choppy cancer animation that became popular around 2018 and wants to pretend it's like the '90s. why should I care?
>>738747123The devs are funded by the daughter of one of the most evil people on the planet
>>738747345Being evil is good.
so is there any indication how this game is selling?
>>738731449It just doesn’t feel authentic. There’s just a certain “soul” that would be required to exist in a project like this for me to enjoy it, and this doesn’t have it. It’s very clearly built by people who are enamored with the “idea” of just being a “regular person”, but they’re so disconnected from actual regular people that it comes off as somewhat off-putting. The Ellison connection makes it funnier lol, “look everyone I too enjoy when society was good,” while it all comes off with the same grace as a turbo-autist forced into a social situation outside their comfort zone.Also, the main girl’s voice pisses me off. She’s trying too hard.It really does have the bones of something that could be great, but it straight-up refuses to actually engage with anything on a seriously deep or psychological level. Nothing about why she wants to run away to New York, nothing in depth about why the one girl hates her dad so much outside “he’s a cop and authority is bad,” nothing about the stoner dudebro at all really. It’s a shame, honestly. With a better writer, they could’ve very easily ripped every nostalgia-pilled millennial a new asshole about choosing to escapism and living in the past instead of the present, but them’s the breaks, I guess. Wouldn’t expect much from an Ellison to begin with.
>>738731449>The reason you hate Mixtape is because it's not trying to hide what it is.So we should like the game because it's shit on purpose?

Probably the most insulting thing about this game is that, for how incredibly pretentious it is, the self-insert fag who made it doesn't even have good taste in music. A "you had literally one job" scenario. Whoever directed this game is a huge fucking poser
>>738731449>this is what crosses the line?I just don't play propaganda games, sorry.

>>738731528>Yes, I am a proud anti-semite, professional racist and competetive level hater of women.Let's be reasonable and logical, and face up to facts, women aren't human; they're not even like monkey's or orangutans. Those muddle-headed, pea-brained, waste-your-money liberals might want to brainwash you into thinking that girls are good for something other than sucking cock, but you and I and every other sensible man knows better.These sluts were put on Earth to steal your money; be whining, complaining and arrogant; and to serve as reasonably comfortable holsters for your erections when one is aroused by the call of nature.First off, scientific research has it that women just aren't the same as men. They don't like things like cameras or computers or state-of-the-art stereos, simply because the higher centers of their brains aren't developed as well as a man's. Furthermore, according to a very fine article in The National Enquirer, it's been proven that women aren't as smart as men. It takes real guts to admit it, but women are mindless creatures... Don't let those detestable, ugly, disgusting, sour-pussed lesbian diesel-dyke Women's Libbers fool you, along with their cotillions of homo yes men. Women are most happy when they are serving their twin gods of Mammon and king cock.Men work hard, make money, grind the wheels of business, only to fall victim to early deaths dealt out by the insane caprices of vengeful sluts... they should be rounded up in a pen filled with pigs and forced to eat filthy offal, and maybe then they would appreciate a fine figure of a man who wants to own and take care of them, even if he is perhaps just a wee bit nervous and high-strung and suspicious of some people's motives.https://youtu.be/6LXTzWbDkTsFinally.....https://jumpshare.com/share/07QF8XQwqHQxzP6Wg0r0!!!FACT!!!

>>738731449I hate it because grifters and 4chan told me to. Simple as.
>>738754796the funny part is that there is an equivalent of ICE in the gameI'm nostalgic for this time period too but I feel like whoever is reviewing this game has not heard the phrase "peaked in highschool", it's like they are nostalgic for a life that they never lived
>>738731449I've seen the "gameplay". The writing is simply cringe. I dunno how anyone could enjoy it. I'm a millennial too and I can't relate to any of this shit.

>>738756061Firewatch and Gone Home also got 10/10si don't get how games journalism is still a thing honestly, each company can advertise their own games through YouTubers
This game is like what a spoiled rich kid who isn't from America thinks the 90s were like here. It's this weird, cringe, obviously self-insert LARP of the writer(s?) lashing out at concepts they hated in childhood while romanticizing or outright making up everything else. Super weird game, borderline insulting because it's so ridiculously tone deaf. To appreciate the "story" of this "game" you'd have to be a seriously detached from reality nepobaby that has never interacted with the real world
>>738737915That pale, sickly wimp everyone posts about. I think he plays games on youtube or rants about them
>>738731528And yet you are still a novice. You must do better.
>>738731449I can accept art games getting good reviews. I sure as hell didn't raise a stink when Journey was getting 10/10s.The thing about Mixtape is that its not a good art game either. The whole thing is just an impersonal generalization of what the 90s was like- made into an interactive 3 hour game.It has as much artistic value as scrolling a buzzfeed article about nostalgic 90s toys or watching AI slop of 90s kids going to 90s mcdonalds with 90s haircuts. The character's don't exist to be characters, they exist to embody well known archetypes from 90s movies so that you reminisce about the 90s some more. The characters aren't there to actually be looked AT, they're there to be looked THROUGH, like a window. Reviewers talking about how they "were moved by the characters" are fucking full of it. They're mannequins at the front window of the 90s Nostalgia Store. They're not characters.The antics and escapades they get up to don't serve any purpose other than "haha! that's what they would do in 90s movies!". - TPing the hecking teacher's house. Like in the movies!- Making a getaway from the police by riding a shopping cart. Yup! Just like the movies!- Discovering an abandoned cabin in the woods and claiming it as your hideout? I remember that from a movie!- Making a cuhraaaaayzee custom slushie at the convenience store and giving it a wacky name? Dude I LOVE 90s movies!There is no perspective. There is no authorship. There is nothing being explored.There is nothing being said.This game is nothing.And using that dogshit trend-chasing spiderverse 12fps interpolated animation gimmick is just the cherry on top.
>>738731449It's not even a game
>>738760473They're going for the non-existing nostalgia of an era that doesn't exist (mid 90s but behaving like a 80s teen movie with 80s fashion and tech). The dialogue is cringe as fuck, they mention the music and the author (when you'd usually mention song's name only). Also, if they liked music that much, wouldn't they even try to do synth music or even play the guitar?And the songs the developers picked aren't what rebel teenagers at that time would listen. They'd be going full grunge and other shit like that.
>>738762886It's called Anemoia and everyone born this century has it. Nostalgia for something you've never experienced. We know on a deep biological level that humans weren't meant to stare at screens all day. Notice how we're never going to get 2010s or 2020s nostalgia. Because there's no culture to remember.
>>738731449>The reason you hate Mixtape is because it's not trying to hide what it is. You put up with a lot of bad design from supposedly "real" games but this is what crosses the line?Cope.
>>738763063>Notice how we're never going to get 2010s or 2020s nostalgia. Because there's no culture to remember.True. That's part of the consequences of globalization (mostly internet connection becoming something common).Also, there's something in humans that miss analog technology, so maybe there's the nostalgia that modern kids have.
>>738741162>unpretentiousI know nothing about the game and even I can tell this is a lie.
>>738746535You are a communist. You are not subtle. Anyone with a brain can see it.

>>738764209>Crimson Desert is a mediocre example of an open-world RPG>Mixtape is a shining example of non-games created for game journalist cloutThat actually makes sense now.
>>738764209>>Mixtape is a 10/10 for what it's trying to beBut its not.It's a horrible art game. Art games are usually propped up for having strong emotions, engaging characters and good stories, and Mixtape, I can tell you right now, does not have those.
>>738763643What? No. The proud gaming journalists aren't giving stellar review to half-assed woke trash to stir up controversy. C'mon. That's silly.Game journalists work hard to review games for your benefit. We definitely don't live in a universe where literally everything that happens passes through a rage algorithm to send out instructions over a global network to millions of people about how angry/supportive they should be over the thing that happened.That's insane. That's like some evil parallel universe in a science fiction novel. That can't ever happen.
>>738764525The main characters are all terrible people and the game isn’t even self aware that they are. American Psycho works as social commentary because Bateman is a self aware caricature. This “game” has none of that.
>>738764209Bro is bending over backwards to defend a fucking game journalist opinion. You are a redditor.
>>738731449Its because I never had friends in high school and I wasnt generally an asshole to the neighborhood so the game doesnt do anything for me, theres no nostalgia bait in it for me.I was just hanging out in my room playing Soul Calibur 2 on my dreamcast in 2001 or whenever this shit is supposed to be in

>>738733453same, I wasn't an indie kid/hipster or whatever you want to call it. I think you have to be a rich kid to really appreciate stuff like this because dorks and geeks of a lower class wouldn't care about stuff like this, especially back in the 90's. Devs got a weird chip on their shoulder.
The morale of this story fucking SUCKS.Practically saying that being alcoholics and the characters are so awful.For being an "adventure" game it fucking sucks.
>>738764783People are fixating on a run-of-the-mill adventure game because they're trying to launder themselves into the "real gamer" crowd while playing slop like gacha and open world games. Mixtape is made for a very specific crowd and doesn't have influence outside of its niche but we need to act like its the worst thing ever to validate our own tastes in slightly-above-idle-games tier sludge. Its very deliberate and precise.
>>738764991Smashing Pumpkins and Joy Division were at their peak in the 90's.
>>738764783>producer is the daughter of the second richest man alive and there are 30+ review sites obviously being finessed with money/goodies/connections to give good reviews>"just ignore it"How about no, you fucking doormat.
>>738765193>Made for a very specific crowd People who don't play videogames?
>>738765193Funny coincidence that a game made for a "very specific crowd" just so happened to resonate perfectly with every reviewer with a pulse.
>>738765660I'm not denying that the hype is inorganic but that's literally every game with big money behind it. Curiously its this one that collectively brought the entire internet together to grind an ax on.
>>738731449never even heard of this until a few days ago on here, looks pretty shit like a life is strange knock off
>>738765880>but that's literally every game with big money behind it.Mixtape is an indie game
>>738748034That's what gets me the most, they can't even get the title right.
>>738765880>but that's literally every game with big money behind it.Saying the quiet part out loud.The game presents itself as a scrappy little art project by underdogs and its anything but.

(guitar riff zoom in) Daddy, if you trap me here this will only be the beginnings of my wicked ways. (guitar riff zoom in) Cus I'm angry and I'm wired and I'm fixing for a whole lotta' trouble. (double guitar riff zoom) If you make me stay here, I'm gonna burn the whole fucking place down! (crazy guitar strumming slow zoom out)police dad: There'll be patrol cars all up and down this road. Get out of here. Go on. Back the way you came.teenage girl: And?police dad: (heavy defeated sigh) Well... I guess we have ourselves an understanding.teenager 1, mispronouncing her name: Cassahndra! That was amazing!teenager 2: I mean... Are you okay?cassandra: I saw Death in front of me... And I walked out to meet it.teenager 1: Haha! Wow. Okay. Awesome.This is what the entire game is building to. This is the ultimate showdown and catharsis that's supposed to be so relatable, and the ultimate proof it is just a theater kid nepo jerk off session. It is an argument you have in your head in the shower before you towel off and remind yourself how retarded that would be. This is the level of writing on display.
>>738731449I hate it because those kids should be in prison but the game was made by a sheltered billionaire who has probably been bought out of life ending trouble multiple times. it's literally "let them eat cake: the game"
