No one played this.No one knows what you're talking about.
>>739074424Jenny literally does nothing to her the whole game
>>739074424This girls pretty. Is the game too woke, or will this female's cuteness save the game for me? Is it like Life is Strange?
>>739074637the game isn't "too woke" per se, it's just genuinely really badly written.
>>739074637It's not woke, it's just wrong about the 90s in other ways. This is basically the 90s experience of the uber rich
>>739074637It's actually not woke at all. People are just assuming it's woke because it sucks.
>>739074615She literally doesn't even like music.
>>739074637It's just insufferable teens with forced drama and dumb decisions.
>>739074708>>739074745>>739074854huh? then whats the problem? bad story? lots of games have bad stories... I'll be playing Mixtape then! I wonder why /v/ would lie to me so coldly like that... I've been looking for more games to play!
Imagine if they were all chudettes blasting Negative XP.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSKizLRFbTo
>>739075220>bad story?Yes. And not in a funny way. All of the characters are insufferable narcissists who never learn anything. It's worth it if you want a peek into the mind of a nepo baby.
>>739075220i mean we all know you're baiting but if you're making a movie game that's all about the story then it better have a decent story. or at the very least, likeable characters.
>>739075513>likeable characters.Why does every character have to be "likeable?" Do you hate American Psycho because Patrick Bateman is a bad guy? Do you hate Breaking Bad because Walt is selfish and hurts people? Do you hate Silence of the Lambs because Hannibal Lecter ate people? Can you only engage with characters you'd personally be friends with?
>>739075283unironically the game would be significantly better if there were punk or grunge songs. it's hard to believe that these hippie kids from the 90s would rather listen to an obscure 70s metal band than Green Day
>>739074637Just pirate.The game is woke coded even if its not obvious.
>>739075513Telltale TWD got a 9.3, meanwhile Mixtape got a 10. Nobody would have ever heard of this shit, and it wouldn't have gotten made in the first place, if it wasn't financed and created by the daughter of the jew Larry Ellison who's worth 200 billion dollars.
>>739075618You can either just trust me that the story is bad, or you can go play it and find out yourself. Or watch someone else play it, there's no actual gameplay so it's 99% the same experience.
>>739075618fair enough. "well written characters" is probably the better term to use here. the main character of mixtape is just a complete asshole throughout the game. her friend calls her out for being an asshole a couple of times but nothing really happens, the story acts as if it's her friend's responsibility to tolerate her bullshit than her responsibility to stop being an asshole.
>>739075661>daughter creates game that promotes unsafe driving, committing crimes, and burning down forests>thinks he can speak on "keeping people on their best behavior"Police your own house before criticizing others.
This would truly be an insufferable character in actual reality if you knew someone like that character.>"Hold on these series of events made me totes mega bummed out so let me pick a shitty 90s shoegaze song to drown out the outside world while you just stand there wondering why i'm so fucking autistic."
>>739075770Like YIIK, this game will be hailed as an avant-garde masterpiece on /v/ in another 3-4 years.
>>739075976If the story had logically continued after the end credits it would quickly become about Stacy dying of a fentanyl overdose before 30.
>>739076146Oh Stacy and Cassandra 100% fuck up their lives before like 2005. Meanwhile Slater canonically becomes a keyboarder in Nine Inch Nails.
>>739076146>>739076269Imagine if Stacy moved to New York, got her dream job, and then died in 9/11.
>>739074424love the dialogue in this game
>>739074637It's an industry plant being funded by millionaires and their interpretation of how rich 90s kids grew up
>>739074424Nigger? Why are you acting like anyone played this?
>>739074424thats literally how 99% of teenagers act like minus the music part
>>739074745If it's set in the 90s where is the 90s music
>>739076647Even the music part. Band kids did this shit all the time when I was in high school.
shift click
>>739076735not the muh Mixtape TM soundtrack for last summer evah crap though
>>739074637Literally an industry plant
>>739075220It's a story driven game (as in not a game) with bad story and writing, so there is zero reason to play it
>>739075618A bad guy can be likeable. In fact all the bad guys who became popular are likeable.
>>739074424if you hate her then she won
>>739074424So is Stacy meant to be a man? She's got no hips and a manface, so I'm wondering if she's meant to be a tranny.
>>739075630Green Day was not popular in the 90s
I can't even get a good job no matter how hard I try and talentless whores get to lead game dev projects just because they have vaginas.
>>739075618Do you just not know what a likeable character is?
>>739075947You're a stupid ape if you think that media showing something is the same as promoting it. I don't even like these faggot billionaires but sometimes when I think of how there are probably close to 3 billion retards on this Earth as stupid as you I realize why they're trying to implement techno feudalism at everyone else's expense
>>739077381In an AI surveillance state, making media like this will be a crime because it promotes uncivilized behaviors. Thought crimes will be prosecuted left and right. This is exactly what Larry Ellison wants.
>>739074745Anon, I was part of the well off sort of deal back then and I saw enough teens back then>muh soundtrackIt would have been a bunch of old ass classic rock songs, SKA, grunge, shoegaze, top 40 hits, metal and plenty of rap. One of the teens would hear Informer play, and make sure that everyone knows it's made by a white guy talking about killing people. And go on about how Toto- Africa was about some dude bullshitting in a bar to impress a girl. And the rich teens would be bragging about all the video systems they have (That's right, Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis AND Playstation WHOOOOAAAAAAAA). If that was ultra-rich, the kids would be bitching about being forced to learn instruments, most likely pianos. That was a trend back then, forcing kids to learn instruments. The ultra-rich thought it would stimulate neurons and make their brats into geniuses. The real geniuses were genetically engineered, and then sniped by GATE, if you wanted to know. .Where's the nick/disney cartoon watching? Kids and teens loved that shit. Where's the 90s slang? No Michael Jackson shit? Nothing from basketball/football/baseball? Why aren't people calling others faggots, retards or sluts every 5 minutes? No mention of wrestling or Jerry Springer? Rich people loved watching trashy tv, still do actually.
>>739077174the characters are hippies who think they're cool because they're into niche bands. i'm sure that wouldn't have been an issue.
>>739077381>>739077471>"I want to live in a high trust society fucks when the laws are restrictive and people think before they act"
>>739074615Jenny is the only redeemable character in the game. Also, the most attractive. The self insert kikess "not supposed to be likeable" is just cope.
>>739077665Forgot pic
>>739077225And billionaire parents.
>>739077534Try asking an AI to generate a historically accurate picture of George Washington. It will tell you it cannot do that and that you are a racist. That is what Larry Ellison wants running society. Media of the likes his daughter has made here will be stamped out for the good of humanity and it's creators will be imprisoned and "re-educated". You thought the Hays Code era was bad? You ain't seen nothing yet.
>>739077381>"I want to live in a jewish police state because some of you guys are not being good goys!"Shut the fuck up shabbos fag
>>739077810ugh
>>739077816And yet at the same time, you won't have to lock your doors and we can have vending machines unguarded in public. People will make sure kids walking alone are safe. Women will be able to walk down dark alleys at night without fear. I'll tolerate black George Washington for that, thanks
>>739075947>WHAT IS LOVE >BABY DON'T HURT ME
>The title is inspired tonally and visually by 1980s coming-of-age films similar to the work of John Hughes.>Stacey, Slater, and Cassandra live in the fictional northern California town of Blue Moon Lagoon in the 1990sso it’s stranger things the game in kpop demon hunter artstyle for netflix-slopping zoomers to fake-nostalgiafag over things they weren’t part of once again? And the journos that /v/ laughs at normally are giving it 9s and 10s?This is a hard skip for any serious gamer.
>>739078236>He thinks the surveillance will affect the "diverse" population
Spoon feed me on this game, is it better than Life is Strange. How many hours does it take for the two girls to hook up. I'm off for a few days, I was a teen in the 90's and like Green Day enough and it is only $17 on PS5.
>>739075947How do you know his daughter still lives at home?
>>739078446It's a 3 hour movie game. It's made by a studio owned by Larry Ellison's daughter's company Annapurna (or whatever, I'm not looking up the spelling). The script was actually meant for a movie, but was too shit so they made it a "game". You play as a self insert of Larry Ellison's kid who's entire personality is listening to music and burning DVDs. Nothing of note happens until the end of the game where the message is, "Disciplining your kids is le bad" There are no girls kissing. There is nothing besides a bunch of shitty characters being assholes to each other. A true millennial classic, and a 10/10 experience.
>>739078670Because she's still in her angsty teen phase and does "art" instead of having a real job and acting like a proper 40 year old woman.
>>739078714PLay the game faggot
she didn't say that
>>739078723She has her own company and is the daughter of a billionaire and is still reduced to living how a typical anon does? Damn, times are tough and capitalism needs to be overthrown.
>>739077174the fuck are you talking about? yes they were
>>739078892What game? This cannot, by any stretch of the imagination, be called a game.
I'd be pretty happy if I didn't see this game on /v/ 24/7. Why do you guys like it so much?
>>739078937REad Wittgenstein faggot
>>739078892I did, it's free on Youtube.Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqXMRTBtQvw
>>739079020Game jurnos gave it 10s despite being gay shit that's not even a game. Much like Gone Home this will be talked about to discredit jurnos and fags for years.
>>739077471It will only be ilegal for you, not for them. Havent you been paying attention?The problem is not saying or creating things that are culturaly inapropiate. The problem is stupid goys that think they can do that without kissing the ring first, and this is what its all about.Its about us standing up when they enter into a room. Its about us asking please and not demanding. Its about asking permision and they being able to remove it. And its about them punishing and humiliating those of us who had the gall to think, for even a moment, that we are equal.And retards like you just continue on and on thinking that pointing a logical fallacy is some kind of gotcha. They dont care about being consistent or logical. Life is a moment to moment thing. While you are still thinking about what just happened, they are getting ready for the next instance to humiliate you, fuck you over, and continue asserting dominance and control.
>>739076059Nobody actually does this. They're just baiting you. Sorry if you fell for it. I guess you're right that gullible kids will fall for baiting attempts about Mixtape in 3-4 years.
>>739076384
>>739079060I accept your concession.
>>739074424Zoomer faggots literally cannot comprehend a world in which you're basically allowed to just drive around and drink booze. To them this is the equivalent of selling crack or joining Islamic State. Gen Alpha, our nations turns it lonely eyes to you.
>>739078302>kpop demon hunter artstyleClose, it's low fps black spider-man slop
>>739075618A character doesn't have to be likeable, but if they are not likeable and that is intentional then it can't be presented that they are always in the right even when they are clearly in the wrong. The entire story is about how the MC only gives a shit about herself, is going to leave her friends high and dry after planning a celebratory road trip before they go their own ways, and the only thing that matters is that her "perfect soundtrack" for her last night can't be interrupted, and if that happens it is everyone else's fault. She's a complete narcissist who is presented as a hero, and trying to say, "Yeah, but you aren't supposed to like her," is in direct contradiction to how she is presented and treated by the story. The closest the story gets to calling her out for her shit is when Jenny Fucking Goodspeed steps into the story for 2 seconds, but she doesn't actually learn a thing and it amounts to nothing.So, no, the point isn't that you aren't supposed to like the protagonist. That is just the cope people who had their anemoia triggered are coming up with to try to defend this shit. The story consistently presents both Stacey and Cassandra as right and correct despite both being narcissistic pieces of shit. They are not presented as tragic, they are not presented as examples what not to be, they are not presented as being wrong.The truth is you are meant to like the main character of Mixtape, but most people don't because they are not narcissistic pieces of shit with main character syndrome, and that is the only type of person who would find the main character likeable.
>>739074637>will this female's cuteness save the game for meAbsolutely not. I like the same type but this one is too much of a cunt to bear.
>>739079383Canon.
>>739075462>All of the charactersI 100% believe that the cop dad is on the right all the time, his daughter breached trust. She deserves nothing and is a stain to the name of his family.
>>739075618I think you've mistaken the meaning of "likeable." I like all of those characters as characters, even if I would hate them as people. The characters in Mixtape are "unlikeable" as in any time spent with them and their story is a waste.
>>739077381>sometimes I want to throat cocks because other people are annoyingStunning and brave.
Honestly the way the main character talks is just so robotic and inhuman it makes me die a little on the inside just watching a playthrough, like who the fucks says band/song names like that?
>>739078236>And yet at the same time, you won't have to lock your doors and we can have vending machines unguarded in public. People will make sure kids walking alone are safe. Women will be able to walk down dark alleys at night without fear. I'll tolerate black George Washington for that, thanksThe people bringing in millions of cannibals from haiti and rapists from india do not care about the poors (anyone with less than $100 million) being safe from criminals. Don't be retarded. If anything they want all of that to get even worse.
>>739079815>I 100% believe that the cop dad is on the right all the timeHe was the good guy until the end when he decided to just give up and let his daughter become a deadbeat.
>>739080184I can't believe there's still anyone left retarded enough to think the extra security is for us.
>>739074637It's a jewish astroturfed game made/written by completely talentless hacks.
>>739077381>You're a stupid ape if you think that media showing something is the same as promoting it.That's what you leftoids say all the time though. That's your main argument as to why everything needs to be sanitized and nothing bad like SA or racism should never ever once in a million years ever be depicted.
I'm going to blow your mind: There's nothing interesting or admirable about being a retarded, pot-smoking, alcohol drinking, pop-culture obsessed piece of garbage. It's not nearly as impressive or fun as you seem to think. In fact, it just makes you seem like a sad, shell of a human.
>>739079287I will defend Yiik but I haven’t played mixtape to make any comparisons and don’t care to
wow what a surprise another very organic and very gameplay oriented thread of the award winning 2026 GOTY title mixtape! i cannot wait to participate!
>>739075618That's not what likeable means you fucking retard. It means they're personality and development was well-written that even if they're an absolute scumbag you want to see what happens next in their life. Rance for instance is a greedy rapist that takes whatever he wants. I could never be friends with someone like that but the way he's written is likeable. You want to see what he gets up to. You want to learn more about him.These characters are unlikeable. They're the equivalent of obnoxious tranny flag in profile bluesky users. You don't want to know them. You don't want to learn about them. You want them to fuck off and never make their presence known to you.
>>739083754Nta but a character can be well written and unlikable it depends on the story you’re trying to tell
>>739077665I'm looking forward to the Jenny/Cass R34
>>739084410Me tooMostly cass but I won't say no to jenny
>>739084294Also NTA, but yeah, thats >>739083754 point. Harry Flashman is a legitimately awful person but he has 12 beloved novels written about him. Stacy in Mixtape is an awful person who people can barely stand for a few hours.
>>739084852I think the primary point is getting the audience invested in the characters. Good writing can help, but it's not an exact science: if the end result is the audience shutting off from a character, you as the writer fucked up.
>>739074424What's up with all these troon games and the "protagonists" being some of the most dislikeable, selfish, back-stabbing whores know to mankind? They're all shitty people to their friends. They're all like that, like it's something to be glorified.Is this what women are like? And you want me to fucking talk to them?!
>>739074637its cringe as shit heres some of the writing for you to suffer throughhttps://youtu.be/t5ORdCbH5iI?si=GbB1C6wXUyyouTxh&t=31
>>739085370Out of courtesy I assume these types of games are a cry for help from whatever subconscious humanity is left in the devs' mentally ill bodies.
>>739084852A character doesn’t have to be written as likable, Rance isn’t written to be unlikable so it’s a pointless comparison. Characters being morally bereft doesn’t mean they’re written to be unlikable, and it isn’t some hard rule of storytelling that you have to like the protag>why would I get invested in a protag I don’t like?Low IQ take and can’t be fixed
>>739074424This game seems like Dustborn 2
>>739085370This show did it first
>>739085501I genuinely don’t see what’s wrong with this this is a very real thing high schoolers going into college feel?
>>739085772There's no hard rule that you have to like a character. There is a hard rule that you have to CARE about a character. If you don't care, they might as well not exist, and you might as well give a shit anywhere else. When anon dunks on these shitty woke game characters, it's not because he cares about the characters, love or hate; it is because there is a sense of injustice. The characters are shit, and the universe bends over backwards to make them the good guys. The whole story is fucking wrong and that causes frustration and rage.
>>739085772You're taking likeable as if it were about a real person where you actually have to LIKE them. We're talking in regards to fictional characters where the underlying fact is you need to care about a character.>and it isn’t some hard rule of storytelling that you have to like the protagThat's wrong in regards to how likeable is used for fictional characters, you retarded normalfag.The characters in this game are unlikeable, that means no one cares about them. Why do you think I gave you this example?>They're the equivalent of obnoxious tranny flag in profile bluesky users. You don't want to know them. You don't want to learn about them. You want them to fuck off and never make their presence known to you.That's the feeling these characters create. You don't want to know about them or their struggles, you don't want to know about their life. You want them to go away and never bother you.>Rance isn’t written to be unlikableWhat? He's written as a vile, greedy rapist that takes whatever he wants when he wants. He pretends to be a bandit captain so he can rape the woman he's meant to save and then pretends to beat himself so he can fuck her before rescuing her. As a real person you'd want nothing to do with the guy. He's evil, terrible and selfish. In terms of fiction however he's likeable because he's charismatic, entertaining, a little stupid at times. You want to see more of his life. That is likeable. You KNOW he'll be a scumbag. You KNOW he'll commit atrocities but you still want to see where that all takes him.
>>739079595>Mixtape>look inside>YIIK
>>739074424Is this some new Netflix slop? Why is this thread on /v/?
>>739074424>tranny cobainvery 90s I guess
>>739087430>Rance isn’t written to be unlikable.>What? He's written as a vile, greedy rapist that takes whatever he wants when he wants....In terms of fiction however he's likeable because he's charismatic, entertaining, a little stupid at times. You want to see more of his life. That is likeableSo...he's written to be likable. The measure of a character being likable is not if you'd like them if they were real it's how they're presented.
>>739087659It's a two hour long interactive movie where the 'interactive' part is optional as the movie will continue playing as if you've pushed the right button when prompted even if you hadn't.Games journalists want you to accept that this is the future of video game.
Did they seriously try to pass this off as indie? I'm an indie dev, and can tell you this was 100% a high-budget title. No indie dev would ever spend so much effort on assets, animations, and music that is only used once. You have to be extremely economical with your dev time, which this game is absolutely not.
>>739087880There's two kinds of likeable.Likeable towards real people as in someone you'd like to be around.andLikeable in regards to fictional characters where you find them interesting and care about their story that you want to know more.You're claiming the latter isn't a requirement for storytelling which is objectively a low IQ, retard-grade take. The only kind of likeable fictional characters don't have to be is in regards to real people.None of the characters in mixtape are likable, you don't want to learn about them or hear about their life. They're boring, uninteresting and poorly written. They are unlikeable in terms of fictional writing.Protagonists don't need to be good people to be good characters. They simply need to be interesting. Mixtape fails at that basic principle. What part of this are you failing to comprehend?
>>739074637becky feel like an industry plant loli, all her porn look false when better lolis get ignored
>>739088093Yeah, it's AAA's next step to protect themselves as indie still isn't a tainted word(yet). So they get a "small team", claim they're "just publishing" it and then shill it using the millions upon millions they have in their pockets.They also used E33 to push this ideal further by claiming it's indie.Now they're saying "well E33 was indie so that means this game with a similar budget is also indie."
>>739075618>comparing this slop with American PsychoYou should kill yourself
>>739074424>righties try not to obsess over things they incorrectly believe are culture war battles challenge: IMPOSSIBLE
>>739088230>You're claiming the latter isn't a requirement for storytelling which is objectively a low IQ, retard-grade takeIt's bullshit universal nothing criticism>Well I personally did not like the character so the story is bad and poorly writtenYou can use it for anything.
>>739074424You can just play Unbeatable if you want a game about music.
>>739077381>You're a stupid ape if you think that media showing something is the same as promoting it.ahahahahahhahado you understand how wrong and dumb you are? holy shit did you live in europe during your formative years? that's fucking hilarious
>>739074424The game would have 10 times better if it was grunge music fans depressed teenagers gen Xers with questionable hygene instead of being a 2010 hipster in the 90s
>>739088535>well I personally didn't like the character so the story is bad and poorly writtenCorrect. That's how it works and mixtape is poorly written
>>739074637ecky
>>739074424You're not supposed to know what OP is talking about unless you are a colossal retard like OP btw
REMINDER: if you got filtered by Mixtape, maybe it's because you're a loser incel :)
>>739074854>People are just assuming it's woke because it sucks.hahaha
*chud who never read a book in his entire life*erm, yikes.... this game is really poorly written
>>739089931I'm a big ol woke lefty who spends most of his time reading and from everything I've seen I think this game looks like a steaming pile of ass.
>>739089931There's nothing left-wing about the game.
any feet pics of the girls?
>>739089801>If you're mad at the score, you stayed inside in the 90's playing videogames
>>739077665Only Jenny and the dad cop are the good characters in this shit show
>>739089801Ah yes, my favorite hobby, alcoholism.
>>739089801Why's he describing himself?
>>739074517I watched Asmongold play it.
>>739090040>>739090057Shalom friends.
>>739089801Yeah but that game specifically co-opted 90s aesthetic pretending mid 2010s-current politics were a thing back then.No one would have wanted to be friends with those people, they would have been bullied mercilessly for being weird faggots back in the 90s. How do I know? I was a weird faggot back in the 90s
>>739074424Bitch burned a house in the forest down and likely created a massive state-wide forest fire. Hope Smokey the bear kills this kosher nepo baby character. These would be the same people to say "save the forest".
>>739085834Dustborn had gameplay and fail states.
>>739088318Did you love safe horny? Now get read for:"safe loli"!
>>739090290Again, what is left-wing about it?
>>739091109Would be so fucking funny to see it loop back around to 1000 year old lolis being okay to sexualize again.
Why the fuck is this bitch's dream, which ends with her sacrificing her relationships with her friends, a totally mundane job you could probably get without any experience or credentials?
>>739074637>Literally co-opting a term coined by the hip-hop community and then refusing to use hip-hop music in a game that takes place in the 90s.This game is oddly anti-woke.
>>739089801>Game is about friendship>The entire core of the game is the bitch of a main character telling all her friends to go fuck themselves and that she won't ever see them again after running off the New York because she is "special"
>>739091162Have you played(pressed play) it?
Oh another nepobaby industry plant game disguised as "indie" is getting dicksucked while the industry crashes and burns? Watch and be amazed as I do... nothing!
>>739091523I watched a playthrough, which is the same thing.
>>739089801this but unironically
At least E33 was a fucking game.
>>739074424When you realize the people behind this game are funded by Oracle you realize just how astroturfed this game is.Why are fake indies becoming so much more prevalent?
>>739074637Someone pointed out that this game is nostalgia bait but without any video games.I'm serious, it's literally 90s rose tinted glasses walking simulator but there isn't a single console or game displayed anywhere in the entire story.
>>739091779Got it so you were asking in bad faith.
You don't hate women enough
>>739074637>This girls prettyShe looks like if someone (poorly) tried to turn Sid the Sloth into an Arcane character.
>>739074424this coming of age nostalgia crap is like catnip for critics. they just love reveling in the time where they peaked.
>>739074517seriously what the fuck is this
>>739092203why anon, this is game of the year of course!
>>739091181>she's actually 1000 years old!safe loli slop
>>739092246I hate that this shitty not-game is almost guaranteed to be in every awards show and thus be shitposted and shilled (unironically the same thing) to oblivion and back.
>>739092925I can just picture Geoff Keighley bouncing on his little tippy toes with a shit eating grin while saying the name "Mixtape!" before a roar of applause. >game was made by a plant>the 90% GA vote that goes to the stakeholders will surely love to hype this up
this shit is just YIIK again
>>739093307YiiK has actually entertained me though.
>>739077712>Does absolutely nothing>Is the best girl in the "game" by a longshotJust shows how dogshit every other girl is desu
>>739093307A misunderstood masterpiece? I highly doubt Mixtape is on that level
It's funny that mixtape is the type of game /v/ loves but just because ecelebs hate it they have to hate it as well. Literally brainwashed sheep.
>>739094056whos the eceleb? Show me the eceleb
>>739093307Mixtape is actually a good game while YIIK is just slop
>>739093307YIIK has gameplay and the mc is treated as the asshole he is though
>>739094097I dont pay attention to the woke tranny leftists you faggots watch that feed you your opinions.
do the characters in this game ever smile
>>739094138Really? Because you seem cognizant of ecelebs who seem to be raving about this game when I have never heard of them. You appear to be paying better attention than me. So I ask again, where are the ecelebs? You said there were ecelebs.
>>739074637it's weird because its not really worth the hate but its not worth any sort of praise. The only thing it has going for it is the soundtrack.t. actually played the game
>>739074424kino
>>739094056youre an ESL arent you?
>>739094056Why would they hate it though?
>>739091879>Why are fake indies becoming so much more prevalent?Bastion was funded by Warner Brothers Interactive. That was one of the original indie games alongside Fez, Braid, Minecraft, Super Meat Boy etc.You faggots ignored the fact that indie itself may have always been an industry plant.
>"indie game">director of said game is the daughter of the 5th richest person on the planet>each song license they bought (in perpetuity mind you) ranges from $100,000-$500,000biggest industry plant I've ever seen
>>739093307MUST BE THE BLACKS
>>739085501Being a teen is so charming. I remember being a dumb little idiot thinking shit mattered when it absolutely did not
"to a T" mogs, deal with itThe irony of it also being published by Annapurna is not lost on me, if anything, it only proves my point.
>>739074424You never had autistic friends?
First time discovering this game was when I watched my bro repeatedly try to jump over the railing during the opening part, put down his controller when it wouldn't let him, then quit out to play Diablo after like 10 minutes.Came as little surprise when I heard everyone hates it
>>739089801We played video games with my nerd ass friend group.
For a 10/10 game of the year title it sure doesn't have a lot of people playing it.
>wagie>big if trueThese are 2010 memes. Like bruh
>>739085370>>739075947On top of being bad characters, they also have skrawny face/body designs and an unorthodox animation style that's actually just horribly choppy. All around incredibly ugly, but kinda fitting for it's troon-illionare made quality.
>>739074424She's literally me bros
>>739075618You picked the worst examples all of those characters are written to be charismatic and get you to root for them. A better example would be Shinji Ikari or Holden Claufield, characters who are written to be unlikable but are considered well written regardless of how the audience feels about them.
>>739096612It's a 10/10 because daddy Oracle most likely paid to keep the lights on.
>>739075976Autistic behavior in women is largely ignored because nobody takes a woman seriously to begin with, including other women, so she'd be adored regardless
10 OUT OF 10FROMI G N
>>739074517This, OP could be making this all up and I wouldn't know lmao
>>739078236One look at England, just one look and you'll see your "utopia" will never exist
>>739077174what the fuck
>80% of the game requires no input from the player>entire game can be beaten with just 150 button presseshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivvq26FgE0A
>>739074517Nice.
>>739074637it's just insufferable, not different from those types of movies with an all women main cast from the 90s-00s that women loved but men did not
>Daddy, if you trap me here, this will only be the beginnings of my wicked waysI never thought the "laughterhouse" bit from that new Animal Farm movie would be so quickly dethroned as the dumbest thing I have heard in any media this year.
>>739089801If you're mad at 'rape day's for it's depictions of sexual violence you're outing yourself as never being a predator, never ruining somebody's life, never breaking the law, never being at the fringe of society.
>>739096612I played it on gamepassas I said its not really good but I didn't hate it.
>>739097591How many half A presses is that
Why would you make something set in the 90's with basically zero 90's nostalgia, a soundtrack of licensed songs with next to no 90's music and such a generic feel to it that you almost could've set it decades later? oh right, it's because you personally were a teenager in that time and you just wanted the story to be about you.
>>739078257Zoomers wont get this reference but its 100% that skit. If they had any actual knowledge of 90's pop culture theyd know that.
if you're intent on hating mixtape you better seethe at the cat too
>>739075220A story with no character development. That is why it is a waste of time and considered woke because much to the same effect
>>739098508I didn't care for that tooI never liked Annapurna either If any of you hated Sausage Party, blame them too, they funded it.
>>739098508why would we hate cats? it wasn't a pretentious piece of shit about human garbage it was about robots wanting to be human and a what if about the curiosity of cats
you could say they understand cats better than fucking people. That is how shit their writing is and disconnected from reality. peter pan en
>>739098508In Stray you have to explore and figure out how to progress even if it's easy. There are even stealth and action sections later on. Mixtape has less gameplay than Gone Homo.
everyone's life is different but this just seems really disconnected from most people's reality. A different anon said it well a day or two after the shilling started. It feels like some rich Australians gained their perception of what the US of the 80s and 90s was like from watching movies or something. Just feels so disingenuous to me.
>>739098608because it's made by the big spooky jew and got high ratings lmfao. If you shit on Mixtape for annapurna then this goes in with it
>>739098714>It feels like some rich Australians gained their perception of what the US of the 80s and 90s was like from watching movies or somethingThe thing is that if they actually sat down and watched those movies then they would have seen most of the protagonists of those films would have underwent some kind of arc and would have been a different person at the end of the movie. Instead this "game" is about the protagonist's two friends coming around to the fact that the protagonist is pretty much dropping them like trash and the protagonist is completely justified in doing this because she's special. It hammers in the writer is probably a nepobaby.
>>739099008>N-NOOO! YOU MUST GET WALKED OVER AND FORCED TO MAINTAIN FRIENDSHIPS! YOU CAN'T JUST BREAK UP WITH ME!!Didn't know 4channers were so weak-willed despite being raging fucking chuds.
>>739074424Funny how much this game is making /v/ seethe. Get over yourself lol.

>>739078902Billionares have different 'rules'. You can live in whatever house your parents pay for if they're that rich and not give a shit.

>>739075220>playingGood joke. Just watch a YouTube video instead.
>>739074424The whole game is white people problems the game, why are white folks so sensitive?
>>739101232I intentionally paid multiple copies for this, I want more games like it
Mixtape must be special because only good games get seethe threads on /v/ constantly
>wokies, liberals and leftists proudly proclaim “eat the rich” and hate millionaires and billionaires and the elites >defend the honor of a billionare nepo baby>liberals, wokies and leftists always say they’re huge moral crusaders and not sexual deviants >support the nepo baby’s project which involves underage lesbian romances, arson, theft, mental illness, vandalism as well as other examples like the scathing amount of LGBTQ sex in Baldurs Gate 3 and other “games” I dont get it

Everyone would shit on it if it was a book.
>>739074637>womanThat’s literally the self-insert of a Jewish tranny whose the “daughter” of one of the biggest billionaire Israeli kikes in charge of the Talmud
>>739101609I'm a leftist, I don't give a shit about this game.
>>739074854It's more of the fact that it was made for those kinds of people.
>>739102540True this is why everyone need to boycott it Larry Ellison is using his money and influence to push right wing conservative propaganda and you can't let the Jews win
>>739094942>>739091879>You faggots ignored the fact that indie itself may have always been an industry plant.No, people like Jeff Vogel have been making indie games since the 90's. It's because indie is more popular now that fake indies are becoming more prevalent.
>>739102621Because it's a game for rightists. Literally mocking you leftoids by making woke media to make you all look stupid. 10 years of that and people believe it now.
>>739074424Uktrasound but as a character https://youtu.be/9q5pZ49r9aU?si=_XHocfYcvuDK5MoQ

>they go ballistic over sexy women and children in vidya>put that in and proudly tell everyone how hard this was to implementLol
>>739101609Leftists hate mixtape because it's clearly a conservative right wing propaganda attempt at an industry plant meanwhile rightoids are dumb enough to attack and hate a game pandering to them, proving there is no market for right wing gamers.
>>739103598>and childrenAnon...?
>>739074637It's not woke, it's just a bad story. And not even bad in an entertaining way like YIIK.It's YIIK without the charm.
>>739075947Anyone have the clip of this scene but someone just mashes all the button so all the animations cancel each other out and look retarded?
>ambition is not to be a musician or even a producer>ambition is to be some middle management music supervisor who selects music for movies, tv, etc.>Behold my superior tasteHow very jewish.
>>739103009I still don't care. Game looks shit boring man, if it really is a right wing game then that would explain why.
>>739103627Man, they're really bad at pandering. I would've taken bikini armor and some family-friendly romance.
>>739074424bet her daddy wishes he'd pulled out
>>739075618It is all about presentation. The game expects you to genuinely like the characters.
>>739082276>and nothing bad like SA What's wrong with San Andreas?Oh, wait, you mean SEXUAL ASSAULT. Type it out fully, you're not on reddit, retard.
>>739105121This is why right wingers shouldnt make games, they only make boring shit like this.
>>739085370>Is this what women are like?Narcissistic nepo-babies sure are like that.They don't have the mental capacity to simulate another person state of mind, so they just assume everyone thinks like them on every matter and whoever is against them is evil.Those are the ONLY people that could find Stacy, a likeable character.
>>739103627Whut? How the hell is it Right wing propaganda? Wouldn't it protray the cops more positively if that was the case?
>>739074637>This girls pretty??
>>739102467Is this not the point of the story that she’s kind of a shithead?
>>739075947RULES FOR THEE BUT NOT FOR ME GOYIM.
>>739106273Nah she's portrayed as 100% in the right.You know what's crazy is that she could have delayed her plan after the road trip and made everyone happier but she couldn't even do that?
>>739089801Oh the leftist is just the mask of intense narcissism who could have predicted?Game, game reminds me of ME, I love ME, love GAME.
>>739074637>Game about music in the 90s >NO RAP MUSICDangerously based. Now you see why all the nigger lovers are hating on this game.
>>739074615she does not like Jenny just because her friend preferred hanging out with her rather than with the MC.petty idiot
>>739106564Woman moment.
>>739106617That describes the entire game, yes.
>>739089801>Not a single anon calling it out for that guy being the same guy that couldn't do the Cuphead tutorialYou guys are slipping.
>>739106656wrong guy anon
So I just played this game and it's literally not even remotely like anyone is here is suggesting. It's literally just a nostalgia trip for millennial adolescents, but very well produced so by design it's not woke or progressive adjacent. The fuck is wrong with this shitty ass board?
>>739106656>>739106696Yeah wasn't the Cuphead tutorial guy a fatty Asian?
>>739106701Nigga it's nothing like how shit was in the 90s. No millennial would feel nostalgia. It's basically "zoomers think the 90s were like this, produced by disney" the game. Hell, the nepobaby that made it is a zoomer herself.
>>739075618You don't know what likeable means.
>>739106776Millennial here, I felt nostalgia. Also had an old boombox with casette tapes, just I rewound them with my pinky finger. Alien being better than Aliens is also based taste. Also the way they talk is hilariously like the Bill & Ted era. That's just the first hour or something too.
>>739107237They got the fucking cassette tapes wrong and have wireless headphones.
>>739107281The headphones are Koss Porta Pro from the 84 bro
>>739107329Wireless. Head. Phones. Nigger.
>>739106617you know this makes me think that maybe this game was aimed at women after all. yeah right
>>739107369Headphones from '84 aren't wireless friend, they just didn't bother putting the wires.
>>739107442Yeah, no. They are wireless in game. You can't just handwave it and pretend they aren't because "well they just didn't include them". It's clearly some retarded zoomzoom's image of the 90s(because it's literally that, the nepobaby is one) and they can't fathom the idea of headphones with wires.
>>739107510It's literally headphones introduced in 84. How fake millennial are you?
>>739107559And? They have no wires.
Where is the gameplay?
>90's american suburban nostalgia>made by australians>who never experienced that
>>739107659This is what gets me. I'm a millennial ausfag, why not be local with it?
>>739107646Gameplay? There isn't any. You don't even have to touch the controls half the time, it will play itself.
>>739107615Nta what’s more likely>they were modeling headphones based off those old ones and didn’t put the wires because they somehow didn’t see them even though they obviously had to compare to make the model>it caused clipping issues or made it harder to see the character emoting
>>739107701>press X to knife abbo for the goon bag
>>739107701because a game set in '90s Australia wouldn't have sold as muchpeople thought you were part kangaroos until the year 2000
>>739107701it was inspired by american teenage movies that's why, it wears it's inspiration on it's sleeve.
>>739107740>knifeNah, crack them over the head with a pick handle you have at the front door.It's what I grew up with lmao.
>>739101583>game's audience is almost entirely hate watchers
>>739107726It's impossible to be an oversight, they just chose not to either of technical reasons, aesthetics or whatever else. She literally has a discman it would be plugged into.
>>739101609The woke shield is actually running out, only journalists still parrot the narrative when defending Mixtape.
>>739075220The problem is that is sucks.
>>739107816lmao nice
>Non stop shill threads
>>739078446>>739078446No it's not better than LiS, but it is more tonally consistent, and better written.LiS 1 had a central mechanic: the ability to rewind time during almost any time.Mixtape has no central mechanic. Each level is a different type of game.>We begin skating downhill like SSX Tricky (I know that's a skiing game but it felt most like that.) Skating returns a lot>Then we're in a room with a bunch of items to explore which reminds me of LiS in fact. I'd call that room a homage to Chloe's>There's a part where we visit an abandoned dinosaur attraction that seems straight out of The Last ot Us P2, and it has a Pokemon snap like mechanic with this thing that's like a Game Boy camera.>We find an abandoned hang out spot like the junkyard in LiS and it becomings a cleaning game and moving game like Moving Out.>We rummage through a drawer and put things in place like A Little to the Left>We TP a house with toilet paper physics>Then we're jump and fly like characters in a Wuxia film in a scene that feels like Journey or Okami>Then we're controlling a character with motor functions impaired in a level with a lot of physics props like Octodad>Then we're in a sidescroller where the character runs by himself and it's all about timing slides and jumps like Temple Run>Then we're in first person through the lens of a camcorder like OutlastBecause it's made up of a variety of minigames the game it resembles most is WarioWareNothing really feels original, they all came from better games. Yet the narrative strings it all together in a way that works and the pacing is held together by a banger soundtrack.And you're out of luck. There's no romance in the game unless you count a gross flashback now infamous to non-player. I was bamboozled by the LGBT tag on Steam when there's no gay stuff in it.It's no 10/10 but unlike the typical /v/irgin having their usual knee jerk reactions it's also no 0/10. The most I would give it is a 7/10.
>>739103598Why is her boyfriend Jewish?
>>739107997Imagine deconstructing a game's various specific gameplay mechanics for a game that clearly has them only to serve the experience/narrative. And it does so with more effort than most. Which game is the dual analogue stick controllable tongues from? Or the dual-character photo booth posing?
>>739107920The abbos from the commission house down the street stole our mail box and smashed it up around the powerline pole, so we had pick handles ready to go if they came back.My grandfather just had guns that he didn't turn in during the buyback and talked about "shooting any coon that tried to steal or break in". Average central QLD experience.
>>739107997>WariowareShow me a single fail state in this "game".
>>739108123your grandad sounds like a top bloke. Do you have them now?
>>739106701Not fooling anyone really.
>>739079595To me a good character needs one of three traits.>They are likeable.>They are relatable>They are interestingA character doesn't need all three traits, of this triad,njust having one trait can work.But fan favorites usually have all three.
>>739085952I think Daria was occasionally a bit fairer about it since she was called out for being a snarky "oh i am so above it all" bitch every once in a while and wasn't actually "above it" (Part of why Tom Arc causes so much seethe is because it has Daria actually act like a stupid teenager herself.) Plus Lawndale was still like 70% nutcases pulling off ridiculous shit the snark is kinda earned.

>yfw a britbong government-sponsored "game" is more videogame than the 90's larper "game"
CDs were more popular than casettetes in the 90s.
>>739108152You can literally get hit by a car at the start of the game, that's a fail state.
>>739108114>Or the dual-character photo booth posing?The Last of Us. The chapter/DLC Left Behind https://youtu.be/9QkfkWsUMH8?si=YqL77k0_bd_F4SOdPeak also has an interactive photo booth at the airport.
>>739108440Nice! so they're all great video games like mixtape.
I think it's okay, not 10/10 but maybe 8/10. This scene was actually crazy though.
>>739108431cheeky, aren't we
>>739108396Cassettes are typically reminisced about as something they recorded and there's more CDs than tapes in the game and the protag carries a discman so that tracks.
>>739075770>fair enough. "well written characters" is probably the better term to use here. the main character of mixtape is just a complete asshole throughout the game. her friend calls her out for being an asshole a couple of times but nothing really happens, the story acts as if it's her friend's responsibility to tolerate her bullshit than her responsibility to stop being an asshole.Nothing you listed has any relation to a character being well written. Youtube video essay midwits ruined entire generation.
>>739108440These are just buttons to change poses which would argue that Mixtape has more gameplay than Last of Us in this instance.
>>739108281Its basically Satan in animated form.
>>739108440A lot of moments in mixtape reminded me specifically of the last of us, like the part where stacey runs on top of the busses, walking around the dinosaur park reminded me of the abandoned mall in left behind, etc. Especially the over the shoulder movement speed. I enjoyed left behind but that was back when I was almost ellie's age myself, I wasn't aware that it was basically just Epstein yurishit, I wouldn't have even had the vocabulary to describe it
>>739108396I'd say that depends on what point in the 90ies you are and WHERE you are since the shift was pretty fast from "pretty rare high end-stereo feature" to "Everyone has a portable CD Player" in like what 2 years? Just the 90ies being fast with Tech again.
>>739076714All over the game.
>>739077174I hope you had the time of your life...

>>739074424Typical Jewish foid behavior
>>739074637Game was made by nepo baby of conservative billion dollar family. At best its controlled opposition slop for brainlets who still think there's a left and right. See >>739075661
>>739075630Nah, this exact type of kid in the late 90s would be listening to bands like Clan of Xymox, Lycia, Curve, and Slowdive.
>>739108551Yes I felt the same way except for the "Epstein Yurishit." (What?)In The Last of Us Part 2, we visit a museum with a dinosaur wing that we can interact with.https://youtu.be/oXxsQRBx9HE?si=H7XYuahZyjj52gtgAnd exploring an abandoned building that has been consumed by nature? Come on.
>>739098309You being a dipshit who doesn't actually listen to music beyond the radio doesn't make the soundtrack not primarily 90s music.
>>739074424This game wants to be Life is Strange very badly when it comes to the aesthetics.Chloe from LiS was also selfish and unlikeable, but at least she went through character growth and admits herself that she's selfish right as she volunteers to be sacrificed for the greater good.
>>7390756189/10 decent bait anon
>>739109640It's visually way more polished than LiS lol.t. I liked LiS
>>739101609They just want to ruin your hobby and get rich doing it.There is no reason to argue these points that have been debated for atleast 10 years.They know it.We know it.You should learn it.
>>739074517>No one played this.True, it is impossible to play it
>>739101609>I dont get itDon't worry, they don't either.They literally don't think, just react based on how their overlords demand.
>>739109815Conservatives need to get out of gaming it's so obvious how astroturfed shit like mixtape by rich rightiod billionaires pushing their politics shit

>>739074637Becky....
I don't understand how her becoming middle management at a radio station means she can never see her friends again.Hell if anything it implies she'll probably have a lot of free time in a decade or so when radio stations just turn into top hit auto playlists for boomers.
>>739074517This. People stopped watching Cable TV and they stopped following "games journalism", and nobody but bots watch Asmongold since Trump and realizing he is an Israel drone who manufactures consensus with anti-woke internet degenerates. (Easy targets)This game is entirely controversialized before anyone even started talking about it, and it happens entirely in the Jewfluencer and "Legacy Games Media" circles.I "hear" about Mixtape. I couldn't care less what it even is.
>>739110630Larry Ellison is literally a trump jew buying wb and other forms of entertainment to push their sick Jew right shit
>>739110798Just cause the jew is a different color doesn't really mean anything anon.
>>739074424God, i hate millennials so fucking MUCH
>>739075618are you comparing the mc of mixtape to some of the most cruel and murderous movie criminals to try and justify that she doesn't have to be likable? is she actually a villain in the story, and not the hero?
>>739074517I've only managed to watch 40 minutes of it and it doesn't make sense to me either, but matches the vibes of what I've seen, so I assume it's correct.
>>739074424>>739075947What's the deal with the effort to re-paint the 90s with a 2010s hipster brush?
>>739109471>"Epstein Yurishit." (What?)Meaning it's not romance it's gay pedophilia shoehorned into a successful IPI never played part 2 for obvious reasons, just don't recognize it with the canon story
Ok so I’m listening to the story of this game at work since a lot of the criticism seems weird, in the first 10 minutes you discover her plan is to fly to New York, hand a famous musician a mixtape, and get hired because she makes good mixtapes? You’re obviously not supposed to think she’s reasonable. It’s definitely too high quality to be fucking indie though.
>>739112531>You’re obviously not supposed to think she’s reasonable. Stacey's plan is obviously ridiculous but everyone in the story just accepts that it's perfectly sensible for some reason.Most of the story is like this actually. Everyone is a moron who constantly makes obscenely bad decisions. This makes sense because they're all teenagers, but it's not framed like that.To call Mixtape a coming of age story is not quite accurate because none of the characters ever grow up. They never learn anything and none of their actions ever have any consequences. They just stay stupid entitled children for the entire story and you're supposed to cheer for it.
>>739074517Of course no one played this, considering the fact that this isn't even a game.
>>739110446>Looks like fucking Prince of Egypt characters to meThat's not an insult. That movie had some God tier character designs.
>>739113390>everyone in the story just accepts that it's perfectly sensible for some reason.Her friend immediately questions it several times in the next 10 minutes, if I had to guess what the game is doing it seems like Stacey is overly concerned with trying to create the perfect memories and not actually appreciating the moment. Not appreciating what she has now and trying to live in the future, despite the future she’s made for herself obviously being impossible.
>>739113761Yeah, if the character's a guy lmaoImagine looking like Rameses with that jawline as a girl
>>739113836It's been a long time but I remember the few girls in the movie were cute too. Like Moses' mom had a long face but it worked.
>>739074424>low framerate character animations>but instead of animating at low framerate, they made regular animations and then lowered their framerate>so it looks super floaty and completely out of sync with everything else
>>739078236Women will never not be afraid of the dark, retard. Women are afraid of a dark room inside their own home. You're using a fantasy scenario to promote societal change
>>739078236You do know surveillance exist since forever now, and doesn't really reduce crimes because all it takes is a fucking hoodie to hide someone's identity.All it really does is reduces the number of police officers, making the streets significantly less safe.
>>739074424>no one understands what the fuck you're going on about b/c no one was dumb enough to play this game.
>>739077174I would say they were popular in the 00's but they were definitely popular in the 90's as well
>>739113390There is zero framing that the 3 of them are making good decisions and you are not supposed to just cheer for it without understanding what is going on. The framing is that this is their last moment of childhood so they exaggerate it to make it more profound and epic. They are about to get hit with the realities of adulthood and looking back they built up this time in their lives as there last time with freedom. It is a very simple (and tbc I don't thing very good) story and you somehow still missed the basic point.
>>739074517This, I don't even know wtf is this game about Also I guess people are having ragebait fatigue
>>739114728You're missing out on GOTY if you havent played it.
>>739114905Holy shit someone who understands the basic ass story.
>>739114905>and you are not supposed to just cheer for it without understanding what is going on.I guess the multiple celebratory fireworks shows threw me off then.
FATHER, I WILL HUFF AND PUFF AND BLOW YOUR HOUSE IN IF YOU DO NOT LET ME BE!
>>739106656That's not Dean Takahashi.
>>739096612it's a 2-3 hour game dummy, of course the concurrent numbers are gonna be low. People played it, beat it in one session, and moved on with their lives
>>739089801High school was not the last time I had friends.
>>739103598wait...she STILL has the fucking headphones on? She's actually autistic then, this pretty much confirms it
>>739107997dont ever compare warioware to this garbage
>>739106776Actual millennial here (born in '90). This shit is nothing like the time period, this shit only appeals to someone who grew up in Seattle or Portland
>>739108529elaborate please, sounds interesting
>>739108470r34 spares no one
>Slice of life 90's simulator is a 10/10 experience. this shit is so irrelevant and bad that the news cycle hit me 1 week later. nobody cares about this shit game.
>>739108281Anime-streaming website proudly announces they're using the subscription income to create "Steven Universe x Harry Potter Fanfiction but somehow 5x as boring"Pic rel is the writer
>>739078257>I BROKE THE WINDOW AGAIN
>>739116932oh...grim.
>>739115580>I guess the multiple celebratory fireworks shows threw me off then>missing the glaring symbolism of the last firework hitting the house they're on top of and burning it downbehold, ladies & gentlemen: a Pseud
>>739107820You can go on a 12 hour journey of video dissection on what exactly is wrong with that show. But to sum up, just about everything that could possibly be wrong, is wrong.
>>739117082>even doe it worked out in cass's favor
Here's an actual likeable teenage protagonist
>>739117264who is this?
>>739101609>Underage (...) romances.What level of conservatism do you have to be on to cry degeneracy at the depiction of high school romance?
>>739117290Raven Madison. Teenager who's horny as fuck for vampires and wants to be one.
>>739117484Also she's flawed and self-centered but the difference is Raven is still likeable and actually cares about her friend unlike Jenny.
>>739117484BOOOORIIIING
>>739117690Fuck you she's great
>>739117082You're injecting more nuance into the story than actually exists. The characters are selfish asshole nepo babies who have unrealistic goals and never grow up because the writers are selfish asshole nepo babies who have unrealistic goals and never grew up.
>>739074517fpbp
Why does this game treat a very normal, achievable desk job as someone's life long dream?It almost feels like propaganda but I can't figure out what for.
>>739117264>>739117682>>739117793Cute breats. How old is she?
>>739074424>THIS IS BIPPITY SHIT SCOOP BOP BY THE TRIBBY BIBBY BOOBIES 1639
>>739118736>actually, everything that happens in the story means nothing, themes don’t exist in fiction it’s all purely literalYou people are just as fucking stupid as the wokes
>>739075220>then whats the problem? bad story?Its a moviegame, it's literally got nothing going for it than the story (you can listen to the music on youtube, I listened to a few songs btw and they're not even ironically good) and the writing and it's shit
>>739119026The thing that disturbs me about the game is the feeling of 'ownership' that accompanies the music. I'll just repost some stuff I already typed up elsewhere, don't care enough to fix the formatting: also I think everyone knows this about Mixtape already but uhhhthe main character's aspiration is also really patheticher dream is to make soundtracks for movies, that's itShe's always like ohhh every moment has a song that's perfect for it, and I will find themshe doesn't want to create anything, she has no artistic sparklike whatever the original artist meant doesn't matter, it's just "oh, this is a perfect song to be playing for this crisp autumn night"so yeah it's like such a self-dobbing in that she feels like selecting that music is HER achievement, as important as the artists who composed and performed it, which is a very Jewish sort of idealshe also had a rant about motorcycles that was really weird, like it started out with her saying she hated motorcycles because "they buy the right to be loud" and I'm like haha yeah so truebut then she went on to explain it a bit more saying "Only certain people are allowed to be loud, like rock stars or politicians, they earned the right" and I'm like uhhhh gettin a bit weird now my guysounds more like something a boomer would say than a teenage girl
>>739085952I watched it at the height of the gamergate/tumblr era when i was unemployed and into the culture war shit, and i fucking loved it.Daria and Jane (voiced by Mona Sax) are actually likeable and the music in that show is infinitely better than the entire "Mixtape"
Is there anything that implies Stacy has a job lined up for real instead of just fantasies? Most likely scenario is that she makes it to the city, gets no job, has to work fast food or something while crammed into a room with 3 other people and either dies of an OD by 25 or gets a job as a bottom feeder in music before slinking back home right?
>>739119951It's crazy cause the game treats it like a job associated with stardom when I doubt anyone can even name the person who threw the Guardian of the Galaxy soundtracks together. And that's like best case scenario. I don't even think greatest hit style soundtracks were even that common outside of Tarantino movies until the 2010's anyways. And even those had like four songs picked by Tarantino himself.
>>739120268The only thing that implies success is the narration confidently saying she'll never return to the town. But that doesn't really mean she got what she wanted.
Mixtape. Rather than the devs being nostalgic of the things featured in the game. It feels more like a game made by people who are nostalgic of being nostalgic. Maybe that sounds odd. But if you actually played the game I bet you'd get it.
>>739074517I watched part of Chibidoki playing it and OP is 100% correct. The chick is convinced she'll fly to New York and give this woman a mixtape and will get a job picking soundtracks for movies. She will also randomly adress the player to deliver a pretentious spiel about the next song on the soundtrack.
>>739119806>the wokes?
>>739108281Perhaps everything
>>739120268The game is pretty explicit that it’s dumb bitch fantasies>Im going to give this mixtape to a famous producer at an event in New York City, and when she hears it she’ll be so impressed with my talent for picking songs she’ll take me on as her protege>I have a cosmic talent for making mixtapes
>>739077174The most popular TV show of the 90s ended the recap episode before the series finale playing Time of Your Life. There was an indie movie sold on the entire basis that Greenday provided the soundtrack. Any time you turned on the radio to a rock station there was a 1 in 3 chance they'd be playing a Greenday song. Dookie sold a million copies by the end of 1994 and ten million by the end of 1999.You are a fucking retard who knows nothing.
>>739095038Johnny Galvatron is the daughter of the 5th richest person on the planet?
>>739106564Actually, that's not the reason that she hates Jenny. The actual reason is because Jenny doesn't hyperfocus on the soundtracks of movies.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ok80uFynixY&t=1178
>>739075618You can have horrible acting characters but still have them be likable. Pic related is an evil bastard who doomed his whole setting and caused a civil war that led to humanity becoming a shell of it's former self, all to serve and give power to four different satans. Nobody "likes" him in the traditional sense but he has charisma and is fun to watch being an evil bastard. Meanwhile in mixtape the main characters, especially the main girl, are narcissistic assholes with no redeemable or fun qualities that can make them likable to the audience, unless you onions out at "OMG MUUUSSIICC"
>>739091109Dude we can't even get romance options for dwarves and halflings in fantasy games. It'll never happen.
>>739114161>meanwhile the rest of the animations are a smooth 60fpsit's so damn jarring to look at, probably the thing I hate the most about this movie
>>739121661god I fucking love this smug piece of shithim shanking Loken was pure kino
>>739109331the internet didn't work like that back thenthey'd be fucking lucky to find a joy division record in a thrift store
>>739077712If you find this image lust provoking i suggest you look up Natalia Queen gloryhole on pornMD.com
>>739074424I didn't realise Larry Ellison's daughter owns the publishing company for this game.Makes sense that it scored 10/10 now.
>>739111443Millenials/zoomers are too young to remember the actual 90s so they think the 90s started with Pokemon in 1997.
>>739077665I really liked Jenny, the trio of Jenny/Cass/Val is probably gonna be better since the overbearing bitch is gone to pursue a non existent career in NY.
>>739098508One of the most overrated titles ever.
>>739110895>bg3>witcher 3>dispatch>clair 33Ugh, what exactly do you think a good game is?
>>739125206The Great Rebellion, Stellar Blade, Wukong, Tarkov, WoW Classic, Space Marine 2, BOTW 1
>>739098508I liked Stray also there's mods for the cat as well.
>>739074637>is it like life is strangeNo. Compared to LiS, it's utter garbage. Victoria, Kate and Max mog every character in Mixtape.Also, Becky X Sex
>>739090961a game with no fail states?
>>739125586bruh moment
>>739125586son
>>739075618>Why does a game have to be good?Jesus, you're fucking retardedor you're on a payroll to shill this shit
>>739074517Fpbp
>>739129094The "likability" thing is a bad stand in for "character arc." Most video game protagonists are flat characters who don't have an arc. Presumably if a character changes they are going to change their likability score as well. Maybe some people like self-important Stacey or meek Cassandra better than their final forms.
>>739075618But people like those characters in spite of their glaring flaws or villainous natures. Why do shitposters do this they just make the most...egregiously idiotic posts for attention even at the detriment of their own point they're trying to argue intellect? Its like watching a grown man defecate themselves in public not because of any medical condition but so they can get people to watch.
>>739074517fpbpI don't even know why troons keep making these lgbt game threads
>>739133660they make a buck per thread
>>739121207Why would someone who picks insert songs for movies need a protege? Pretty sure it's just a job you'd land or not land.
It's funny how they pretty much had to say the guy is going to just give up on life cause otherwise it looks like he has more of a future in music than she does.
>>739134106Because people in west coast shitholes have meme jobs like that and put way too much self-importance on them. Like how Kathleen Kennedy use to bring coffee and suck dicks in the office which made her believe she was good enough to produce movies, which made her believe she was good enough to work for Disney and help steer the future of the entire Star Wars franchise.
