Looks like all of /v/ failed the basic media literacy test againYou're not supposed to like the mixtape hero
>>738920626YOU HAVE VIOLATED THE GROUPTHINK HIVEMIND!LIFETIME BANISHMENT FROM REDDIT!
>>738920626Yes, and I wasn't supposed to like Kratos. But I did. And that's a big no no. So they turned him into a castrated feminist.
>>738920626>you're not supposed to like it chud Then why would i play it
I didn't even play the game though. I just saw some scenes of it on here which looked crazy cringe.Like this onehttps://files.catbox.moe/jv9n6y.mp4And decided this game isn't for me.
>>738920972That was super fucking cool though, what do you mean? She stood up to her controlling father. That's powerful.
>>738920626YOU'RE PLAYING IT WRONG CHUDLINGS !change your review score NAO !
>>738920626so the age of the yiik-like has begun.
>>738920972Jesus fucking Christ.
>>738920972>>738921042It didnt actually happen like that, though. That's the point
>>738920626I've bever seen a game with such a simple message so mangled by /v/ before. It's not even deep at all. Or good to be clear. But /v/ is just lost and can't even start that conversation.
>>738920626I didn't pay attention. Did you have a nice day gaming OP?
>>738920972jesus christ.....
>>738920626>NOOOO DON'T HAVE A DIFFERENT TASTE OR EVEN A DIFFERENT OPINION>IT'S AGAINST MAH RULES>RACIST PIG>FREE PALPATINE
that's nice pajeet, now let's see the steam chart numbers
>>738921438If he builds a team, who else would be on The Alexgers?
So how's the gameplay? Is it just another walking simulator?
>>738922273Almost non-existent. To call it a walking simulator is even a stretch. The game plays itself.
why are there 5 threads up about this goyslop
>>738922273It gets a theatrical release. What do you think?
>>738922273QTE arent able to be failed so its kind of a movie.
can’t say I’m really vibing with all I’ve seen and heard of this, sadly looks like a poor man’s Dustborn
>>738922405>a theatrical releaseExcuse me what?
>>738922273Calling it "gameplay" would imply there is a game underneath. Even movie games have fail-able QTEs. This does not.
>>738920626Let me guess? She is not even morally ambiguous like Joel from the Last of us or autistic like a Hideo Kojima character. She is just a cunt towards everyone because she is Rick & Morty tier "too smart to be nice" and Journos think this is depth? I remember them pushing this in Dustborn
>>738922339there are people who are so mentally captured by this website to the point where they feel a lifelong duty to shit it up by posting threads nobody wants to see, obsessed and doing it for free
>>738922512
>>738922610>this websiteDo you seriously think this shithole is relevant enough in 2026 to start a shitstorm like this? Youtube influencers are responsible for it. Yeah normal people on normal platforms hold these opinions now
>>738922805
>>738922234The Postal Dude is a not a good person.
>>738922805...so why didn't they make a short movie instead...? Oh yeah, because modern "gamers" are highly impressionable, have no standards and for some reason desperately want gaming to be "art".
>>738923218Bribing gayme journos is easier than bribing movie journos. Establish it as a "masterpiece" early on and later "critics" will all fall in line, nobody wants to look weird
>>738922339jeet shills
>>738920803It's free on gamepass
>>738920972this is cringekino
>>738920972Imagine that by some fucked up series of events this turns out to be your daughter. How do you fix her?
>you are not supposed to like the protagonistsmost of the time, that means you can't write characters for shitgood writers can make you like any character, even if he is a piece of shit
>>738923218If I establish video games as "real art" maybe my parents will stop making fun of me for being a video game journalist.
>>738923925nobody pays for gameslop, shill
>>738924040I don't have a kid, so I don't know. But my neighbor is a lovely old woman who has a bunch of kids. All successful and good kids. One of them though is a drug addicted schizo possibly prostitute. I've seen her try everything to fix that kid and nothing has worked. At a certain point I think you just have to cut your losses.
>>738923218They want to win something that's why, but they cant do that in film industry so they resort to vidya and make a bait for tga and probably going to suck geoff cock along the way.Winning an award in film industry is hard for these theater kids devs because you had to have something beyond technical level and 'idea' (this is why neil cuckmann stayed on vidya instead of trying his formula on film). They knew that they arent skilled as a filmmaker and not that artistic as a person as seen on mixtape, so they have to resort to the only medium where the people would eat everything on the plate without question and that medium is obviously video game; but even in vidya standard this shit mixtape is gay and retarded, so this oracle founder daughter has to be the most dumbest bitch that ever exist to even fail in video game scene
>>738920626>You're not supposed to like the mixtape hero *siiiiiiiiiiiiiip*
>>738920972No, but really, look at this cocky teenage Latina coming to destroy your fragile ego with a look. I love this image so much.
>>738922339because it's funny
>>738924415>if you stop me now...I'm going to have sex with the family dog!Chills.
NICE TRY PAJEET!!
>heroShe's not the hero, she's the protagonist
>>738920626What's the appeal of playing a game where one hates the protagonist?
>>738922339it's really funny and it's also a good reflection of the times we live in and the people that made itit's the vidya version of taping a banana to the wall and calling it art, you can extrapolate so fucking much about the people behind the project without ever having known them and you'd probably be 99% in the righteven the rant featured in the webm itself is just a long, overly-verbose way to say "dad, stop controlling my life", exactly how everyone on fucking reddit talks, it's too perfect, you could not write parody this good
>>738920626>The characters suck lmao (Mixtape, Yiik, Life Is Strange)>You aren't supposed to like them, chud!>Woah. These characters are cool! (Falling Down, Taxi Driver, Joker)>You aren't supposed to like them, chud!
>>738921438YIIK is soulful, sincere and genuinely interesting. Mixtape is fake and gay slop.
>>738924415Wasn't that guy a confirmed pedophile?
I like her, she is a believable dipshit teenager
>>738920759Yay?
>>738924821YIIK was very honest about the people that made it, I think the creators were a bit shocked about how badly the game was received, they actually expected people to like any of the charactersthey are not so different, at least YIIK was a videogame you could play, not a good one but they tried
>>738920626It's funny how this game was made by a billionaire nepo baby who is personally backed by Israel and all the leftist journo sites are deepthroating itLeftoids have no morals and when they say blow Israel they really mean to suck their dicks
If you don't like the character you're playing as in a glorified press W sim then you're clearly not making the right game for it.I don't like the protag in Cairn (her ignoring everyone in her drive to the summit seems to be a game theme) but it has, you know, gameplay.
But guys....didn't you like Enter the Spiderverse?Didn't you like the 90s?I don't understand :(
>>738924040
>>738920972modern western voice acting can never be cohesive with the character.It's always a disembodied and awkward voice speaking the words the character is mouthing.And that VA can't even decide if she's trying to take it serious or be hammy, and she tone-shifts half-way through her "epic" monologue
>>738920972She says "fixing" to make her sound more black
>>738920626>Looks like all of /v/I don't know what this game is. I had never heard of it until it suddenly got countershilled here with outrage articles. I don't even know what genre it is
>>738925136there is a difference between publisher and developer you troglodyte
>>738925258I dont like the 24fps thing
>>738920626/v/ resuscitate a dead game into a sucess. All these "outraged" threads just smell of outrage marketing plan.
>>738925458any day now.
>>738925458Yea that totally worked for Concord you retard
>>738925458I'd like to meet the kind of person that gets "outraged" enough to buy a videogame he doesn't like that is essentially a movie you watchthey already made money from the government and investors, sales could be 0 and they would still make money
>>738925458If that were true, High Guard would be #1 on steam right now
>>738925408Still funded and backed by Israel little retarded cock sucker, you have no morals and will support billionaire passion projects to own the chuds
>>738924314I do for all the free games
>>738920626Every main character is literally (me) and they are always objectively right in everything they do. The only reason a MC exists is to be (me) and make me enjoy being in the game.
>>738924415Father needs to correct her.
>>738925635Outrage marketing works for the same reason there is no such thing as bad publicityImagine you get really, really mad about OP's game, and talk with your friends about it. Among your friend group is one guy who doesn't quite get as mad but thinks the premise looks interesting and buys the game. You have therefore generated a sale, even though you were never gonna buy the gameAnd that effect is amplified any time there are articles about it, or some faggot youtuber reacting to le controversy
>>738923197He's literally me so yes, he's a good person (in 1 and 2)
>>738924319>At a certain point I think you just have to cut your losses.Very true>But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses. If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church; and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector.
>>738924052I agree, if you find yourself rooting for a morally corrupted character then they did a great job. This is something media illiterate people don't understand and why they think you shouldn't root for Light or Walter White.
>>738924040I've seen how my cousins's daughters ended and know fully well what causes it so my hypotetical daughter simply wouldn't become like that
>>738920626Have they finally accepted it’s shit?Or is it only because they found out it’s being bank rolled
This planet is now just a playground for rich nepobabies and its the left's fault for being retarded enough to buy whole sale into the corporate subversion of occupy wallstreet. Knowing just how succinctly Mixtape represents this new uncontested global hegemony of moneyed imbeciles makes it physically nauseating to behold. A profane ritual trying to elevate a new idol on nothing but money and spite towards the coming permanent underclass.
>>738920626They're already setting this game up to win several awards at TGA this year. Already calling it, its gonna win Games for Impact, Best Debut Indie Game, Best Independent Game, Best Score and Music, Best Art Direction, and could possibly be a strong contender for GOTY. The last one I am dead serious about because I know Game Journalists are gonna nominate it.
>>738926514lol
>>738926209Yeah that meme doesn't actually work. People tend to trust their friends and getting 1 sale from a retard who eventually refunds it once he actually plays the garbage doesn't offset the bad reputation and loss of sales from the other 9.
>>738920626Well that's good because I don't, in fact I don't like any of it.>>738926509Who cares?
>>738926564The other 9 were never gonna buy it.
>>738925109They actually listened to feedback and changed a lot A LOT of stuff. It's becoming a surreal RPG experience.You had to be there, you had to see the Golden Alpaca ver1
>>738920626when did reviewers completely turn on gamers? the disconnect has never been larger and at this point both sides are openly hostile against each other. are there any objective review websites left? how do journalists like schreir still have a job when nobody has believed a word they've said for around 10 years now? who is keeping these journalists employed, what is their purpose, and how do they generate revenue for their companies because it's clearly not through their journalism?
>>738926469>nowit's always been that way. rich and powerful people obsessed with only vanity and legacy, no matter the culture, no matter the time.
>>738926594If we're going by the retarded logic that all publicity is good publicity, a company that could afford to market their game all over the internet spreading the word that their game is shit would get even more sales if their word of mouth wasn't "This game is shit".
>>738926663>when did reviewers completely turn on gamers?When did Mass Effect 3 come out?
>>738926663jews
>>738926663They have infinite money forever because of either direct government subsidy in cases like canada, indirect subsidy from investors like blackrock in the US, or just daddy's money in the case of Mixtape. The creators father is the richest guy in the world in terms of personal holdings. Dude is unironically dropping hundreds of millions to make it seem like Mixtape is the next coming of christ.
>>738920626The game is still shit
>>738926681This is pure cope. Its not healthy.
>>738926653i saw it, that's why I liked it so muchit's why projects like these, or Concord, Hyenas, YIIK, Dustborn fascinate me so much, you could not write parody this good. There is not a comedian talented enough to write a joke this good>>738926663>objective review websites left?steam reviews have been quite helpful for me, i've never bought a game I didn't enjoy using those as a reference
>>738926812Dragon Age 2 came before ME3 and was also praised to the high heavens by journos.
why should i care about media literacy, honest question. it's not like i get paid more or less at my job based on how media literate i am.
>>738926663>when did reviewers completely turn on gamers? the disconnect has never been largerYou forget your own history
>>738924871Did you need someone to confirm for you that the leftist feminist man gushing about a "child" duck girl from a children's show is a predator?
>>738922805I googled it and this seems like fake news made by someone to shit on the game.
>>738926840>>738926663In 2018 to 2019, Annapurna Pictures lost over 200 Million dollars and the banks couldn't do anything about it due to her father.Interactive was created shortly after, but Ellisons meddling in the company and forcing politically charged game titles over the successful titles they were making (Stray, Outer Wilds) caused all 20+ staff members to quit on the exact same day. Instead of trying to distance herself from the studio and not ruin the company like she ruined the Media company, she simply hired a whole new team, this time headed by a politically captured individual from Netflix like herself, which is where their first game was released "Mixtape".Megan Ellison has failed in every single business dealing she's ever had but since her father is one of the worlds richest men, he can constantly sponsor her to the tune of HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS and not even the banks can do anything about it. She can spam slop like this and buy off journalists for the rest of her life and never make a single cent and she'll keep doing it. She's been doing exactly that for over 10 years and lost hundreds of millions of dollars doing it.Don't you love these insane billionaires lauding over you.
>>738926663they never were on people's side they always took money for publishers to write complete bullshit about games institutional journalists are not human
>>738927098what the fuck is media literacyI don't visit Reddit but I'm going to assume it comes from there
>>738926948Same. This is why YIIK works on another level. The game isn't serious, it knows it's a silly game with abstract themes.Mixtape tries at best to have funny moments that actually feel like you're pressured forced to laugh with them. The serious feel disingenuous and the funny feels fetishized.Alex YIIK deserves the W
>>738927152its an engagement thread about a clickbait article about a game no one would be talking about without the manufactured outrage marketing. This is a thread for bots and useful idiots.
>>738927217Annapurna was founded by Megan Ellison in 2016. How did the company fail when they published multiple critically acclaimed games that /v/ loves and talks about. Their publishing arm has been around for 9 years and never went anywhere.
>>738920626>herosurely you both mean "protagonist"
>>738927217>this time headed by a politically captured individual from Netflix like herself, which is where their first game was released "Mixtape".Mixtape is their 2nd game, The artful escape was their first game. How can you make so much shit up when people can google it?
>>738926990Yeah but I don't remember journos calling people "entitled" or whatever when they rightfully said DA2 was shit
>>738927217I should care about this why?the money is still getting spent, regardless of their productions' quality
>>738927282Cut your wrists vertically for Bieber.
>>738927438because people barely talk anymore, they just spew points which are lies most of the timeit's honestly incredible how people will confidently lie to your face even if the truth is one google search away, and it's in everything, not just politics or videogames, I never pictured the Internet world get this fucking bad
>>738927491Yeah, you're right.I don't remember any 'you just don't understand DA2' articles or tweets or whatever
>>738920626I'm so glad we've progressed enough as gamers to enjoy unlikeable games.
>>738922805Don't give Sony ideas.
Admit it, you got filtered.
>>738927438are you retarded? Annapurna is a publisher that has published way more than 2 games
>>738928000yeah but the developer worked with annapurna before
>>738926591You'll care come December when everyone is bitching anon. /v/ is nothing if not predicable.
>>738920626This game is this generations gone homo but gone homo had some gameplay.

>>738926663>when did reviewers completely turn on gamers?GamerGate. That's when they showed their true colors as activists who don't care about games and only pushing an agenda.>how do journalists like schreir still have a job when nobody has believed a word they've said for around 10 years now?He had a few good pieces detailing what went wrong about certain games like Mass Effect Andromeda and Anthem that, I hate to say it, were pretty decent articles. That alone made him jump ship from Kotaku to Bloomberg. Also he's a Jew.>who is keeping these journalists employed, what is their purpose, and how do they generate revenue for their companies because it's clearly not through their journalism?IGN is owned by Ziff Davis, a major Internet and digital media company who also own PCMag, Eurogamer, and several other gaming websites. They're a huge power player online. Also the CEO is, you guessed it, a fucking Pajeet.
>>738924584>all-time peak 2,245Imagine buying 10/10 reviews and this is what you get out from it
>>738926209No. That isn't what it is at all.It is when you have a legitimately good product (as in at least as good as your competition) but its either divisive naturally or you make it divisive.The goal there is that the people who are against it because of its stance are still going to be advertising it by hating on it.The problem here is that you actually need a legitimately good product.Things like a a movie having a "bad" or purposefully ambiguous ending causes people to shit on it and others to say it was good are very suitable for this. Having just a bad game that barely any has any appeal to anyone isn't divisive, its just bad and people can see that. You can't market your way out of an awful product.
I played the entire thing. Can somebody explain to me what's "woke" about it? There's no LGBT shit,i only remember ONE black girl having spoken lines. Do people justo say that based on vibes?
>>738922339(((Reasons)))
>>738921438Yiik is a soulful attempt to make a modern life rpg about an insufferable manchild learning to mature. Mixtape is manufactured popslop that does the exact trite tropes it is insincerely parodying.
>>738928890Yeah i just think people say woke because its the easy thing to sayReally it just seems like it is a quick-time event movie with expensive licensed music and no real gameplayWhich is what i got from the IGN review
>>738920626I didn't watch this movie, what is it about?
>>738927152But you still had to google it.
>>738929000Coming of age story of some girl who wants to move to New YorkSome skateboarding quick-time event, some kissing quick-time even and some cringe dialogue
>>738928890I personally don't care about it's "wokeness"I care more about the clear astroturfing to give the "indie game" that somehow affording all those music licenses stellar reviews.
Surely, this shit was written by AI.
>>738920972this needs a chudjak edit
>>738929072>somehow affordingWell, being the daughter of one of the richest men alive probably helps, but I wouldn't want to sound conspiratorial.Surely nothing untoward is going on in the games industry right?
>>738920626>Unlikable protagonists are a good thing nowSo when are they going to apologize to YIIK?

Why is some Austrailian pretending to be an American teen again?
>>738924040You talk to her, but if she's a proud arsonist, then she there's very little you can do to turn things around immediately. You have to treat your children like they're people, otherwise you increase the chances of them being mentally unstable.
>>738926209If the game had at least looked good, I would've probably bought it thanks to all the threads retards keep making, but it's obviously garbage, and all it takes to know that is to look at any footage of the game.
>>738928985Man, Hundred Line was so great.
>>738924052While I do agree that anybody who says this shit is usually full of shit and a lot of times these characters are unlikable do to failure on the writers part, there are definitely protagonists who are written to be unlikable faggots and the story is better for it. Sometimes a character needs to be unlikable to sell specific themes and message of the story or to tell a cautionary tell about those types of people.Neku and Ame are both pretty good examples of this. If either of them were likable from the start then the themes of their respective stories would have feel flat on their face and failed to really to capture the hearts of so many.
>>738929601It had a bumch of shit routes but it was a wild ride nonetheless. Praying kodaka actually makes HundredLine3
>>738925742According to that anon a 12 person studio had the funds to license all that music and bribe reviewers with custom made gift sets.
Idc about the game but the girls are cute enough so I hope I see someone make them scissor and kiss
>>738920626>Hate the protagonist Then what's the point of making him the protagonist? This shit is even 10 times worse in a videogame because I'm actually controlling the motherfucker. If I don't like him, what excuse do I have to even continue playing?
>>738929763Some of them were a bit weaker than others but the only one I found outright tedious was the Box of Blessings route. That one really didn't need to constantly retread the same events over and over and over for hours.
>>738924052Yes like RanceHe's a mass rapist, slaver and mass murder yet he's funny and nice to follow
>>738924821YIIK is not sincere. It's steeped in so much irony it makes me gag.
media literacy is when xhitterjanny guarded thread btw
>>738926209>there is no such thing as bad publicityOf course there isLook at nu saint row
>>738920626Well then I dodged a bullet by not liking the entire game and didn't play
>>738929937>SpoilerYou can blame boruto author for that one.Yes having a mcguffin chase route split halfway 4 times was bad enough, all 4 being near the same events just with different characters moreso. Having the female cast not be relevant in their own subroute was obnoxious.
>>738929343He's totally not a pedo, we swear!!!
>>738920972DMC2 levels of writing
>>738929013>durrrr
>>738920626I don't even like the game so I didn't even played it

>>738920626men are completely stupid when it comes to understanding minority characters in general, that's why a lot of writers opt to making them mary suesyou can never write a minority equivalent of walter white, romeo, Joker, or Anakain Skywalker because these dumbasses will whine about "bad character writing" without understanding their purpose.
>>738920972This is some peak Bazcore ngl
>>738922339People are pointing fun at and exposing the fact that the gaming industry is still a corrupt cesspool that is not worth listening too.Exposing their propaganda makes them seethe too.

>>738922339Annapurna checks don't bounce
>>738920626How does a small indie company can create so much advertising? They don't have enough money to pay Sweet Baby consultant fees, so my only logical reason is that the devs give good head.
Next it'll be >You aren't supposed to think Mixtape is a 'good' video game>It's a non-game on purpose chud, you failed the media literacy test to appreciate how subversive and progressive it is.
>>738932274give it time and you'll see videos titled>"Mixtape: A flawed Masterpiece">"Mixtape: A misunderstood gem">"Mixtape: A bridled praise"

Let's assume this is trueWho cares? Why do they keep making characters "you aren't supposed to like" in their ""seminal art"" games? Even shit like Eraserhead has a character you can latch on to
>>738920626i hated this tronx and xher entire game, i win
>>738927234HOLY SHIT IS THE CAT OKAY WTF
>>738932821Because they hate you and want you dead, basically.
>>738920972>I didn't even play the game thoughNeither did the people that bought it
>>738932821because that's their excuse for shitty writing when they find out that all the traits they found "endearing" and their personality that they think is "unique" makes them absolute intolerable cunts to everyone elseit's the YIIK situation all over again where the developers thought that people would like the characters when all of them talk like braindead redditorsif nobody likes your character then it's probably because you are a shit writer
>>738920972>start a wildfire that will pollute the atmosphere, kill millions of animals, and displace thousands of people just because it's your time of the monthThe audacity of the rich cunt who made this game.
>>738923218The conspiracy theory is that it IS a movie that they tried converting into a game last second
>>738926840You're going too conspiracy theorist with that. They're paid off by game companies to praise their games.

>>738920626I like the cope how "this game would've been the biggest cult hit if it released during the 2000s"No, faggot. No it wouldnt.
>>738920626I'll never understand the leftist idea of hating a main character, or rooting against them.Why would you watch 5 seasons of breaking bad if you don't like Walt?
>>738932821It's a rug pull>make character that acts like a completely normal human being>identify with character>"this character is evil btw and you shouldn't like or identify with them"
It's 88% on Steam.
>>738923218I think gamers did pretty well here considering this turd barely sold 80k copies.
>>738926663The first sign was when Jeff got fired for the Kane and Lynch review. The second was when sites like Kotaku started talking about entitled gamers and spouting SJW ideas
>>738924661>it's the vidya version of taping a banana to the wall and calling it artNo idea why this one keeps getting brought up whenever people want to criticize pretentious modern/conceptual art, considering that it was clearly a joke project by a guy known for weird satirical sculptures. It was literally titled "Comedian" for fucks sake. You'd think with all the bullshit coming out of the postmodern/conceptual art scene there'd be better examples to seethe over.
>>738935224>its a joke "art" made with "sarcasm"Same headline as >"You aren't supposed to like mixtape

It's so heckin deeperino like silent hill sequelino and spec ops the lino!I hecking love morally wrong characterx!
>>738926990Dragon Age 2 looks good when you compare it to Cisquisition, and even that looks good compared to FailGuardWhat happened to vidya...
>>738927315Be just explained that. The entire dev team that made those successful games quit because they were sick of her bullshit. Essentially it's not even the same studio anymore. Those games wre successful in spite of her not because of her.

Is Mixtape the new Life is Strange? Everyone says it's lame and gay as fuck but it's actually pretty good, but then the sequels are genuinely gay as fuck?
>>738920626Video Games?
>>738939539>Everyone says it's lame and gay as fuck but it's actually pretty goodlol, for both games
Is it supposed to not resemble the real 90's as well?
>>738931448in short, believing the label of "kid friendly" is kid friendlyThat's exactly the kind of media that makes kids become trashgive them everything but kid friendly stuff, not saying you should show porn and gore 24/7 but treat them like you would treat a person 18-99 years oldand don't be afraid to isolate them, even insult their friends as long as you tell them your reasons
>>738939659It's the 80s, retard
>>738939539Life is Strange *was* pretty bad, regardless of the fact you want to fuck the characters.Like, the plot makes no actual sense. Stuff just happens, and then it ends.
>>738939745Yeah but it's fun
>>738920972the graphics look like a straight to dvd animated movie from the 00s
Chloe is a dumb bitch and Max is straight, but not for Warren, he's also a bitch
>>738920626>Failed the literacy media test again, you're not supposed to like the mixtape heroHow did I fail when I don't like her, never did?
>>738940142You're supposed to like the game though, chud
>>738921975Whether it happened like that or not doesn't matter, that's the point everyone else is making. It is cringe and shit regardless. No one gives a fuck about these main character syndrome characters made to appeal to the anemoia of main character syndrome faggots who wish life could be like their shitty alt music videos that weren't even made in the 90s. And no one cares if the character isn't supposed to be likeable, because the "game" itself isn't likeable.You media literacy faggots need to understand that people get the point, and they get the intention, and they are saying it's fucking stupid. It sucks in execution. It sucks in subtext. It sucks in intention. It just sucks.
>>738920972RAGE ON BEHALF OF THE MACHINE
>>738920972>This isn't X, it's YLOL THEY GOT JEETGPT TO WRITE THE SCRIPT TOO?
>>738920972>this isn’t a catastrophe - it’s a warningDamn so the dialogue is obvious AI slop, no wonder this “game” is so soulless and artificial.
>>738940187I see, well I didn't so how do I get a refund, oh and it was free on gamepass.
>>738920626"Media literacy" is when your functional literacy is on the level of a 6th grader, causing you to be unable to understand the meaning of the media you consume, and as a result you make up the meaning in your own deranged mind.
>>738924040The Kris Harrison way
>>738927282Out of curiosity, how many people from this thread do you think will go play the game now, or at any point in the future?
On the surface Mixtape seems like the kind of game that was made directly for me. It's influenced by many games and series that I love.
>>738940746But does it have pogs?
>>738940746Why are video files without any gameplay made directly for you?
>>738940746You enjoy movie games with no failstates?
>>738936337The tried and true Joker method.
>>738920972Cringe kino.
>>738939694no it isn't
>>738928890hipster seattlesque blonde short haircut, ssri brain damaged zoomer emotionless stare
>>738922273
>>738941504I love that they just ripped off the Bojangles Horseguy intro for this, which itself is a ripoff, and everyone's yanking themselves raw over how deep it is.
>>738940369rage for the machine make love to the system
>>738920626No, it's millennials are failed to deliver a good storyAs usual. Millennials cannot into writing and all they do is pretentious woke slopI'm tired of this shit and i don't care about another parasitic journo opinion. They were sucking BG's dick so hard despite the game being pure garbage, they lost all credibility that day
>>738926812This is the actual answer. 2013. Ending controversy was the first time I feel like the industry became openly hostile towards their audience and things never really felt the same since. Gamergate later fed on that hostility.
>>738920803Play?
>>738928890It's really interesting how the game has hardcore woke vibes, but there's actually barely any of that gay shit in it. Kinda like Life is Strange
>>738941504...why is she wearing her headphones backwards?
>>738920972holy cringe
>>738920972>this ain't a catastrophe - it's a warningThis is literally the biggest tell this was written by AI, both the phrasing and the hyphen combined.
>>738941646The only games that even closely fit the description here are Life is Strange, Dispatch, Mixtape and Dustborn.
>>738941504What kind of pretentious horseshit is this?
kak someone should start blast making porn of this and start getting it out there, the people who made this slop will start freaking the fuck out
>>738920626
>>738942343>t. Anthony Burch
>>738920626i dont think anyone likes mixtape in general
>>738920972>/v/ got psyop'd by game journalists into thinking this is good
>>738931667First thing that came to mind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EBvXpjudf8>hello daddy, hello mom
>>738920626OP doesn't know the true nature of man and that true humanity is trying to break free from it.
>>738920626why are autists still seething about this mid game?
>>738922234
>>738920972Ughthe theater kids are trying to make games again, shut em down
>>738920626This isn't even remotely like YIIK and the fact I have to argue this infuriates me.

>>738941504I've seen enough. I am hereby banning women born between the years of 1980 and 2010 from ever writing for video games, comics, movies, or television for the rest of their lives.
>>738926209 It only works if the thing getting bad publicity is appealing to people, eg, rightwing politicians getting bad publicity from leftwing news outlets, thus landing on the radar of rightwing voters who despise the leftwing outlets.If the McDonald's CEO came out and told you to not buy from Chick-Fil-A, that would boost their sales. If Random Influencer who is respected came out against Chick-Fil-A, that very well could tank their sales, at least in the short term. That's because people don't trust CEOs, let alone a competing CEO, whereas people trust their favorite influencers.
>>738924415>latinashe's asian you blind fuck
>>738922273>Is it just another walking simulator?Not even. They didn't even go through the effort of making funny fail scenes when you don't press the QTE button in time, the character just walks on no matter what.
>>738923218They tried and failed with movies they being the daughter of the top 5 richest people guy. Movie plebs somehow have higher standards than gamers.
>>738920972If I was a porn animator I'd take this scene and then make the next scene into her getting anally raped into full nelson position so its a funny instant loss 2koma
>>738942261the videogame equivalent of taping a banana to the wall and calling it art
>>738928985>Says while posting KodakaQuite literally the worst writer I've ever experienced, so you're not doing yourself any favors.
>>738920972How is this turd getting 10/10's?!?
>>738920626You are doing it again shill... you are pretending we give a fuck or even know what this is.
......LOL
>>738924040BWC.
>>738953626I believe the girl who made it is a super nepobaby whose uberJew dad owns like half the media companies in the States right now.
>>738953626Paid reviews
>>738941646LiS and The Witcher 3 came out a decade ago. Oldest millenial was like 25 at the time. I guarantee you no one from either staff were that age when the stories were written. LiS was written by two middle aged French men which was constantly brought up.
>>738920626Polygon is run by glowniggers.
>>738955080Now literally everything makes perfect sense kek
>>738926209>there is no such thing as bad publicitythere absolutely is, the saying only refers to when something is unpopular among haters but actually liked by the target audience.even lefties are shitting on the game now
>>738923218same as david cage, if it was an actual movie everyone would laugh at it, but since it's a game everyone gives it a 10 because vidya journos have absolutely zero integrity even compared to the most diehard hollywood shills
>>738930037yes, but to me it rolls around into becoming honest kino.yiik is a bona fide "so bad it's good", it's a fascinating game that's interesting to look at and pick apart. in that way it has actual, unironic artistic value.mixtape is just a billionaire pretending she ever had the life of a normal 90s teen and buying 10/10s from retarded journos
>>738937331>>738927217retard
>>738922273I wouldn't even call it a walking simulator, far as i can see it's less of a game than a Tellltale Game, it's basically one of those interactive Netflix movies
>>738930037YIIK has plenty of sincerity in it
>>738940413>AI uses common phrase>anyone who uses it must be AIWow, look at all these people using chatgpt before it even existed.https://arch.b4k.dev/_/search/text/%22this%20isn%27t%20%2A%20it%27s%22/end/2022-11-30/

>>738920626>Erm, you're not supposed to like it.I don't.>*tears start welling up*>Well... GOOD!
>>738965528Kill him off, and replace him with his ex wife
>>738963715I think the difference is when people do it they are explicitly refuting something someone said and correcting them. When the AI does it it's weird rhetorical shit no one said and usually uses meaningless buzz words for both X and Y. It sounds like someone talking just to say words instead of communicating.
>>738924584At least they did better than dustborn?
>>738920972is this a parody
>>738920972I can't tell what is supposed to be the tone here.I think it's supposed to be funny? But I fail to see the joke.
>>738920759...so win?
>>738953626Reviewers are shills and always have been. I have a relative in the marketing industry at a major firm, critics are bribed in various ways.
>>738920972Everybody reacting the way they do really proofs 4chan is the most retarded place in the world.Absolute bottom of the barrel in IQ
>>738920626oh if we can have unlikeable heroes then where is the chud manlet protagonist with a harem of lolis?
>>738976708>proofssar, bottom of di barrel saar, bloody benchod eye queue
>>738926663Until 2009 they tended to be more critical than the general audience, after that they were significantly more positive.
>>738926663I firmly believe Twilight Princess/the 8.8 fiasco had a lot to do with it. The signs have always been there but the whole probably made them realize gamers were just fucking stupid kidsEverything else mentioned in this thread like gamergate and whatnot is just the result of that festering hate
>>738920972This shit can't be real. Did someone edit the close in and the music later? Is that shit really in the game?
I'd rather be subjected to replay YIIK I.V. 7 times than this shite once
>>738920972Does it cut to her getting slapped by being an absolute retard?If it doesn't, why are we giving this "game" more publicity?
>>738920626am i not supposed to "like" the total lack of gameplay either?
my favourite thing about mixtape is the dev self inserting himself as a teenage girl
>>738942982Literally nobody here thinks this garbage is good you retarded redditor.
>>738953626Game journalists finally got a game that plays itself and only lasts 3 hours. I'm not kidding. They all love it because it's not a video game.
>>738922273>gameplayThere is none. You can literally just put your controller down and the game plays itself. If you decide to control the character and accidentally crash into a car, the game rewinds time to prevent it.
>>738920626"I hate it""Thanks here's your diploma sir"
>>738920972eeewwwwwick-inducing turbo cringe
>>738920972I don't get it, what's the problem here? She talks like a teenager hopped up on her own self-importance, but I'm getting the impression that that's because she actually is that. At least the tongue webm is weird on its face, don't you have anything more damning than this?
>>738923925It's not "free" if you're shelling out for a subscription retard.
