Why do zoomers hate this game so much? This game was NOT made for you, it's a love letter to millennials growing up in the 90s

>>
>>739022510
I grew up in the late 90's and this game is a hate letter to me and my friends. It puts music and movies way above games, it doesn't have wrestling, south park, or anything else that was actually popular in '99 and it messes up so many things like the skateboard designs, using cassettes at all, and having wireless headphones. The whole game feels like a Gen Xer or Zer's idea on what Gen Y was. It's bullshit.

you could not be more wrong. the generational argument is nothing more than an engagement farm, probably made by a 3rd party interested in starting a flame war for that sweet sweet advertisement revenue. the amount of times this shit is levied against gen m is just as preventant as the same shit levied against gen z. realistically your just allowing confirmation bias to cloud your perspective. but don't worry, it's just a farm.

It's fine as an interactive movie/music video art piece. The story is pretty by the numbers cliche coming of age story, very shallow sadly when you remove all the mini-games and music stuff, but it's effective enough. Music in the game is awesome, the editing and presentation is amazing. The party at the end is the single most accurate experience of a party captured in a movie or video game, the way the characters interact with you, people are doing stupid shit, tonnes of stupid conversations people have etc. Great stuff. The walking through the video store high/drunk is also a great and pretty accurate scene to many a weekend of my life in the late 1990s-late 2000s lol.
But I have some issues with the game.
>Not accurate to 1990s, actually feels more like a late millennial take on the mid-late 2000s desu
>Story is too shallow, should have had branching routes and parallel stories following several groups trying to make it to the party that come together in the end. Dazed and Confused, Human Traffic and Go are better coming of age stories. (they are movies though)
>Story needed to be a bit fleshed out a bit more, should have had a small epilogue of the characters going their way on their new life
>Dialogue definitely not accurate to the period, but you couldn't get away with "Fag/Dyke/Retard" quota for accurate teen speak in the 1990s/2000s in a game today though lol.
Themes make sense as a millennial game though, us Millennials have never really been able to own homes, we've been stuck in short term leases since 2008, relationships are temporary, you bounce from one friendship group to the next as you're forced to move from one place to the next. In that way the game resonating with millennials makes sense. So many times I've had phenomenal friendship groups, that we've broken apart due to everyone having to go to jobs and lives in different cities or whatever.
>>
Going through the playlist for this game, and nobody was listening to this stuff in the 90s. What is The Touch and Dare even doing on this list? This is a meme soundtrack. If they had the Power Ranger's theme they'd at least be in the right decade.

Also, like I said in the other thread, hope there is a version of this game sort of made, about the rave scene, madchester to goa/psy to stadium trance to DnB/Jungle/Garage to Big Beat.
The late 80s-1990s rave scene is the single most underutilized coming of age setting in media, only Human Traffic and to a lesser extent Go and Groove have even attempted it.

While not true, I think it resonates with Millennials, because we're the first big generation that has been totally transitional through our entire adult lives. In the past 10 years I've lived in 4 different cities lmao. Most of my friends are the same, different cities/countries than where they were 10 years ago.

The Transformers soundtrack was 80s butt rock. Nobody cared who the fuck Stan Bush was. Dare to be Stupid was a bigger hit and at least got play time on MTV. It's popular now because of nostalgia. And there were plenty of movies that came out later that had music with an actual cultural impact at the time of their release. Where's muh Kiss from a Rose? The MK movie thing? Huey Lewis and the Fucking News!

ahahahahaha nothing says 90s nostalgia like an animation style popularized in the late 2010s, gameplay that would feel at home next to Subway Surfers from 2012, music from the 80s like Stan Bush - The Touch, and skinny jeans hipster fashion for skaters instead of baggy JNCO jeans and a backwards hat. There's nothing to relate to about this dogshit.

Go to any nostalgia thread on /v/ from the late 90s and early 2000s if you want an accurate portrayal of core Millennial nostalgia. Better yet, play pic related, as it's made by an actual Millennial and captures what it was like far better than this shit made by an out of touch Aussie who never even visited the US prior to the 2000s.

>>739024432
This is the fundamental issue. You got two types of millennials. Those who were born in the 80's and were teens during the 90's. And those who grew up in the 90's and have more in common with those who were born in 1997-2003 than anyone from the 80's.

I love The Touch, and liked a lot of old 60, 70s, and 80s stuff that'd play on Vh1 back then. Would have it on all the time with my Mom who introduced me to all the classics. That doesn't change the fact that it's not 90s nostalgia. 80s music was not in vogue in the late 90s, it was all rap, punk pop, trance, and eurodance. This game only appeals to the nichest of niche alternative tastes.

90s kids and 80s kids basically, huge discrepancy. 80s kids were way more rebellious than 90s kids, and it shows in the writing for this game since it was made by a guy born in 1980.

I'm not saying it's period appropriate, only that it's a core nostalgiabait song. The Transformers movie was a huge deal to 80s kids, if you were trying to appeal to 80s kids you'd play The Touch.

>>739025371
The introduction of cell phones was horrible for bad writing but in general just means you just have to have someone go 'oh no no reception' when they're stuck in the killer cabin in the forest or whatever. Everyone has cell phones IRL now and we still have fuckloads of problems every day that aren't solved by being able to call someone or Google something but that's the only kind of problem that makes for Big Movie Writing.

The current cabal that's destroying gaming set out to purge the world of all media that's not made for them.

>the problem is it takes effort and research.
years ago, i read 11/22/63, the stephen king novel about a guy who goes into the past to stop the jfk assassination, and i remember reading an interview later where he talks about how he had to do a bunch of research for the novel and had never really done a project like that before, with the wikishitia page citing things like 'the price of a hamburger,' and it made me realize two things:
1. most writers and storytellers and such are absolute hacks who put in only the bare minimum of effort and success is based on a combination of luck and already being a household name/shitting out so many books that one has to hit, and
2. that fucker was born in the 40s and was already alive and into adulthood in the 60s, and couldn't remember any of it because he was drugged out of his fucking brain-pan every day of his life, which correlates with #1
>>
>>739025518
I think I'd rather modern movies just not have them at all, no character has a phone, no character looks at a phone, noone mentions shit about phones, if a phone is absolutely necessary make it a landline phone. Let redditors cry it out.

Honestly? This game is easily in my top 5 games of all time. It's so real, so raw and emotional. I'm not sure how a small indie team pulled this off, but they did.

Makes me think all of the hate is jealousy from other indie game dev teams. They can't stand the fact that Mixtape raised the bar so freakin' high. Silksong walked so Mixtape can run, and the chuddie devs are left seething in the dust.

If you want to make a movie, you know which form of visual media provides the director with the greatest ability to produce a tight, focused narrative experience that presents the audience with nothing but the interesting stuff and create the exact combination of visuals and sound that he envisions in his head? Movies.

If these game journos were as sophisticated when it comes to the arts as they like to view themselves, they'd recognize the walking simulator genre as a straight downgrade from movies and would understand that ludo-storytelling is the thing that videogames can do that movies can't (the chosen undead is a badass because Dark Souls is a challenging adventure). The idea that the walking simulator is going to be the matured form of videogames is a ridiculously low IQ take.

It's not that we respect them. It's a case of their scores are being used to manipulate the industry. So while gamers know not to trust or respect them the normalfags don't and normalfags are too prevalent. That's why we can't just go "eh whatever"
Not to mention that the journos side with the politically obsessed freaks that want gaming to solely be propaganda. If we want games to have any hope of remaining fun and not just be a pile of slop for Hollywood obsessed faggots and politically obsessed rats we need to keep calling out the faggot journos when they try and do this shit.

It's all because they don't respect games as an artform. It's why they call a game mature solely based on content.
If we started rating games with age ratings based on gameplay so many of the big "artistic masterpieces" would be rated for ages 3+ while games like Sonic, Spongebob and Mario would be rated T or even M.
Because for some weird reason a game isn't mature unless it holds your hand like your a retarded child still watching children's edutainment shows where there's "audience participation" segments. Shit like

It's a barely interactive movie. Gameplay consists of a few QTEs to do things like moving your tongue inside another person's mouth, pretending to control a character on a skateboard, and rewinding a cassette tape with a pen. None of which have a real fail state.
It's a game made by someone who has never played games about living in an era they didn't experience. Literally everything about it is fake, especially the review scores. Which is actually kinda kino in its own way.

Asmongold has it right. If you want to be popular, repeat people's opinions back to them. People love Fallout New Vegas, so if you want to be popular, say that Fallout New Vegas is amazing. If you want to be unpopular, say that Fallout New Vegas sucks. People hate Concord, so if you want to be popular, say that Concord sucks. If you want to be unpopular, say that Concord is amazing.

The left has to insist that this isn't true because attacking media that seems like it was created by Reddit makes you poplar while defending it makes you unpopular.

One of the main things that people miss so much about the pre-2010s is that things weren't so fucking gay and feminized. You'd walk outside and every tenth person that you came across would be wearing Stone Cold Steve Austin or NWO t-shirt. Most media was unapologetically targeted at the demographic that's naturally most excited for media: men. Schools and workplaces were ran by normal people with children.

The left has to rewrite the 80s and 90s just like they have pretend like your grandpa couldn't afford a house on a Safeway butcher's income. They can't have you realizing how much better life would be if they were removed from power and boomerism (blank slate liberalism, the "social safety net", etc.) was recognized as the biggest mistake in the history of the west.

Ok, lets make the perfect 90s game

OST
>if early 90s grunge, nin
>if late 90s manson, numetal and some rockpop bands like garbage/nodoubt/placebo

MECHANICS
Its an arcade beat em up with some fg mechanics thrown in

Every character uses the word nigger, its 160iq and has access to a playboy supermodel gf, like the average teenager had during those days in the 90s. Its an inside joke that life literally couldnt be better than this and future generations must be shit if the world had already peaked. In fact, they beat toddlers for being gen z losers.

Trivia about the 90s that you gen zion dont know: Matrix, the best movie of the 90s, was released in 1999, signaling the peak and ending of white civilization. The movie even says the matrix was based on the best era of all mankind. The awful sequels were released in the 00s. The directors went the extra mile to portray the 90s as the peak of civilization that they not only made 2 shit sequels, they also trooned out, to signal the times to come.

If it's made for millennials, then why are they always telling people who grew up with 90s and 00s media that it's not for them?

The truth is that everybody knows that if a westerner actually makes what people want, the entire institutional machine is going to dogpile him. And the reason why this is effective is because we have a 50% tax rate that's used to insulate the intuitions from the free market and you effectively have to obey them if you want to participate in the economy.

We need to organize. We need politicians who will drop the taxes down to a 5% flat tax and who prefer giving contracts to normal good-natured Americans and we need judges and prosecutors who's natural inclination is to throw the book at Larry Fink. That's the only thing that can save our culture.

As someone from the 90s I can tell you that the devs and reviewers did not know what real 90s culture was. The lack of grunge, gangsta rap, trash tv, wrestling and XTREME shit makes it feel so un90s it's crazy. If this was a real 90s kids game you would have a group of dudes throwing eggs and shooting at random people with paint balls. Calling each other faggots and homos. Looking up the skirt of random girls at school and a lot of XTREME shit. Look at Jerry Springer, ECW to get a better idea of what the 90s was.

It's a MASSIVE assumption to believe that they'll find their spines and will blame the correct people. This assumption isn't always supported by history. There are still old people who want the Soviet Union back.

It's the most obvious statement in the world, but a lot of people on the right need to hear it: You win by winning. If a city votes out the tough-on-crime politicians and turns into a food desert as a result, that's not a victory. If your favorite studio goes woke and then implodes, that's not a victory. Victory is when the tough-on-crime politicians get back in and give the criminals the chair so that the city can rebuild, and victory is when a studio that caters to you makes the big bucks and gears up to make more. And when the world sees what they can have if they do things your way, the victories will pile up.

Again, you're assuming that they'll be clamoring for YOU. Maybe what we'll get instead will be a slave society where communists force you to plow the field under threat of violence. Or maybe they'll just continue caving to this workaround for communism that they've been building. Or maybe we'll already be over the tipping point by the time people have had enough. And in the meantime, you've got a lot of unnecessary suffering. This is why I've never agreed with accelerationism.

The way that you actually move the needle is to pound the pavement, organize, and take ground. Take over a municipality, pass laws that they said couldn't be passed, release a successful product, show that you're viable and that you get results. That's how you get them to clamor for you.

I'm not advocating for accelerationism, I'm simply stating how things will go. I'd certainly prefer to wave a wand and have everything fixed with good and just leaders running the show.
