Mina the Hollower is yet another proof game urinalists have completely lost their relevance/influence68 reviews, a whopping 93 average, the year's highestYet, a wet fart of <13k concurrent player peak
I saw that post on my xitter feed too OP
The shilling isn't even subtle
>>740031929Twitter is so fucking boring. I can barely stand being here for 5 minutes a day, how do you slog though twitter retard posts?
>>740031849how many players does a game need to have before it's fun?
>>740031986>5 threads is shillingWe have more than that per day for bethesda or pokemon
>>740031986Why do mods allow this? I'm starting to think maybe gookmoot makes his actual money by turning the website into one giant astroturf
>>740031986It's such an ugly looking game too with awful music. Don't know why it's so well advertised.
>>740031986why would a company shill on a dead websitereddit alone has trillions more users
>>740032045No we fucking do not bitch, and definitely not simultaneously. Faggot. Matter of fact, screenshot them right now.
>>740032042It's the opposite, it needs to be fun to have players
>>740032094Why, indeed? How about we ask the people in charge that question?
>>740032083yatch club games blew up 10 million dollars advertising the game, that's why they're going bankrupt now
>>740032094You understand they can pay to have shit shilled on multiple websites at once right?It doesn't have to be a choice between this site or the next, it could be both
We all know gaming reviews aren't honest, this is why it has the same score as mixtape
>>740032045Those are current threads, retard. As in, live RIGHT NOW. If you genuinely think these are the only Mina threads within the last three days, you're beyond help.
>>740031849Basically the perfect game IMO. Solid game and no annoying tourists playing it.
>>74003184912k is very good for an indie game. Their pity marketing ("buy our game or we'll go bankrupt") worked very well.
>>740032609>>740032625Here comes the shill squad. Matter of fact, let me go try something real quick, you sit right there faggots, don't get up from your crusty chairs.
>>740032045>the biggest franchise in the world gets multiple threadsno shit, tranny, but there's no reason for a failed indie with barely any players to have several simultaneous threads
>this much seething over a cartoon mouse
>>740032094>dead website/v/ replaced Neogaf and Resetera as the internet community that leads the entire videogame industry, even when a lot of people pretend otherwise.
>>740032358this game is so good it resurrected george floyd
The idea of an open world, pseudo 8-bit, zelda inspired, 2D Dark Souls is so last decade. Such a vile concept in general really.
>>740032625>12k is very good for an indie gameyeah, for an average indie gamenot for a 10 million dollar "indie" game
>>740032135>>740031108>>740025139>>739986829>>739965326Some obvious ones. I haven't played in over a decade so I'm sure I missed some. Let's not be disingenuous now
>>740032786>>740032691
>>740032740>that leads the entire videogame industryIf that's the case why are we still complaining about gay and tranny games in 2026?
>>740032094>trillionsplebbit is just as dead and full of the same retarded NPC faggots
I'm nonbuynary
>>740032691>Calling someone else a tranny while on your knees for NintendoKek
>>740031849
shovel knight's peak was 2875 according to steamdb and that game did pretty well
>>740032916Because developers keep making those games to spite /v/ even when no one buys them.
>>740031849All you're doing is arguing that reviewers should just regurgitate the average gamer's opinion.
Mina the Mindbreaker
>>740033067There is no such thing as an "average gamer's opinion". What there is however is honesty and integrity, both of which gaming "journalists" lack.
>>740032985pokemon is the biggest franchise in the worldfacts, not opinions or feelings
>>740033202If it's so big, then why do you feel personally attacked enough to have to defend it?
>>740033029>If you can't afford $20 you have bigger problemshe's right, that's why I'm pirating the game to distract myself from those problems
Has it been cracked?
No, I don't think I will buy the heckin' wholesome Game Boy-inspired mouseventure for only $20, thank you.
>>740033240I'm stating facts, you're seething at them because it destroys the narrative of your shilling
>>740032094this site starts cult followings, games like undertale, pizza tower, minecraft, doki doki lit cluib, all started here, games that were dead found new life being posted here. If you can get a few autists hooked and posting about your game it can blow up. A majority of internet culture as we know it can be traced back to 4chan. If you can add your game to that culture you'll seep into other parts of the internet without even trying.
>>740033253Day 1 crack
>>740033282I am very confused as to how this is a thing? Do chuds just only like popular shit.
>>740033029it's not piracy, it's relooting
>>740033321lollmao
Jesus christ, the AAA shills are not even fucking subtle. Imagine being so obsessively mindbroken over some random indie game and constantly bitching in an almost tearful manner about it. Holy fucking shit. Are you upset that it doesn't have gay sex and old wrinkly women?
>>740033305>your narrative of shilling I never said that. You created a fake statement then got mad at it.
>>740033321Dark Souls became popular thanks to /v/.
>>740032609Your fanbase is furries on bluesky Gtfo
>>740033337Not surprising, I'll check it out then.I just refuse to pay anyone who advertises themselves as "Le wholesome little indie dev" and has a LA office with 20 employees.
>>740033451you're mad at the truth and admitted it hurts you personally, that says it all
>>740031849Shouldn't have gone woke.
>>740033513>20 employeesSo a small team? Did that sound like a huge number to you, turd world slave?
>>740032075Of course he does, he was selling people's data back in the 2ch days.
>>740033539Again, you're doing that retarded liberal thing where you make something up then get mad about it. You're illiterate and now almost certainly mentally retarded. I accept your concession.
>>740031986It's more that posters here are retards who never check the catalog. See: anytime some kind of news breaks.
>>740033582Small game studio, sure. Not a little scrappy indie they advertise as.
>>740033358It's the same mentality as the left/trannies/sjw crowdIt's lonely retards wanting to fit in but instead of being a tranny/hrt/etc it's posting redditfrogs and saying nigger
I can't believe Mina won so hard. Not only is her game the GOTY, but she has this schizo having a full on melty.
>>740033582Also, don't turdworld slaves work in big sweatshops? Your insult doesn't even make sense.
>>740033657When have they done that, again? Yacht Club used to be kinda big when they were making Shovel King and had crossover deals with Kratos or Battletoads.
>>740033765Yeah, I forgot how forced Shovel Knight was. Isn't he a Smash assist trophy too? I hope those fags go bankrupt.
"piracy isn't theft" lefties when people pirate their wholesome astroturfed indie
>>740033582Why do you feel the need to defend a multi-million dollar corporation?
>>740033892What a retarded post
>I shit myself in anger over this random indie studio and their game>But I obsessively consoom AAA slop and purchase it at full price while defending pozzed big budget studios!!!PLEASE be a little less obvious, /v/.Seriously, could I just point out how the second you scoff lightly at a pozzed big budget game a bunch of faggots show up to bitch about muh /pol/ and their "anti-woke fatigue" but apparently with this game it's whatever?Less obvious. Please.
URGH ME CAVEMANME THINK BIGGER NUMBER MEAN BETTER GAME
congrats on killing yatch club games
>>740033965>yacht club are a multi-million dollar corporationHoly fuck lol
>>740033029Why do shills take it personal when people decide to not waste money on their slop?
>>740034135All they had to do was not waste all their money on an office in an expensive stateI swear this is a common mistake with indies where once they make one hit, they go all in on a hiring spree/have a proper office, and then they waste all their money before the new game is out and they go bankrupt
>>740034175mina had a 10 million dollar budget, so yes
>>740034175>he has a revenue threshold for what corporations to defendDo you get paid for this? Please don't tell me you're doing this for free. Please laugh in my face and tell me you're actually making money doing this.
>>740031849I will buy it when its 50% off or more. Not before. Preferably after YC has gone bankrupt.
It took 20 people that much time to make this gameboy color game?
No matter how low you may be feeling in life, just remember, at least you aren't the guy who had a weekend-long meltdown over Mina the Hollower.
>>740034353It's funny because the unit that made Link's Awakening were like 6 people, maybe, and they still managed to outshine this turd
just looking at the ceo of yatch club games you can tell what went so wrong
>>740033179I know you want to squeeze an own into every sentence, but that doesn't have anything to do with critics reviewing the game positively.
>>740034431I couldn't even come up with a more comical depiction of a faggot
>>740034258No, the AAA industry doesn't pay me to throw shit at a random indie studio and their game.>>740034431Not an argument. Larian has actual proud cock-sucking homos working in it and you fags creamed yourselves over BG3 and its mocap gay sex.
>>740034431I hate to say it but he looks kind of jewy
Add yatch club games employees to the layoffs list
>>7400320944chan culture shapes the internet
I don't like playing as girls
>>740034595>if some people are okay with a massive game made by faggots then everyone should be okay with a mediocre cheap game made by faggots
>>740032691>>740032045The difference between this game getting multiple threads and big franchises getting multiple threads is that this game just came out recently. There's nothing new to talk about the big franchises, yet they get threads anyway. Meanwhile this is the big release of a studio that made a semi-famous game many years ago, it makes sense that people would talk about it. Nothing to do with the quality of any game or advertising
>>740034431I have that same computer case.
>>740034683Yeah, this board sucked off big budget pozzed turds with full on gay sex quite eagerly. Which is why this whole hate campaign is illogical and not organic.>homo assfucking - YES>devs supported BLM some time ago? eeeewwww
>>740034736crazy mental gymnastics to pretend an indie with no players should have more discussion than the biggest franchise in the world
>>740034378Somehow worse, it's a group of guys who decided they would work together and have a weekend-long meltdown over Mina the Hollower. Don't these losers have jobs? Or at least anything better to do??? lel
>>740032358>picmaybe they shouldnt have done this and theyd have better sells
>>740031849that's not many reviews though is itmost big games get like twice as many reviews
>>740034765bringing up other game faggotry won't make the faggotry in this game suddenly goodit's a pathetic strawman attempt
>>740034802We've been hearing about this game for years, no shit people want to talk about it when it finally comes out even if it's to make fun of it. What else is new to talk about?
>>740031849>non-popular=badI think both you and the shills should kill yourselves.
>>740034378he bounce
>>740031986Considering there's like one thread in this image that's seemingly gone somewhere I'm just chalking up the rest to some dude shitposting
>>740034646*15 years ago
>>740032916Because they keep making them.
>>740034896yet they don't want to play it lmao
>>740031849Just think how many of that 13k are kickstarter backers who didnt even buy the fucking thing.
>>740034945plenty of streamers/vtubers/influences/show creators have self admitted subtly or by accident that they visit this site looking for the next big thing to talk about. You can say it outright because "4chan is the scary nono website for chuds" but it's influence is still strong.
>>740034378the funniest part is they have to stick to jerking their own posts off in these dedicated seethe threads because they just get laughed at or ignored in the main threads by now and it's clearly making them even more obsessive & angry
>>740033029>you don't have a right to itAll of those pro-piracy slogans and sentiments about entitlement and greed sure do get conditional as soon as it starts to effect one of theirs, huh?
>>740031986Maybe you should just play the game, retard?
>>740034896>>740035017It's like Marathon or Concord. You could see the red flags from miles away, although I'm sure it can't be as bad as either of those games on its own merits.
>>740035242that just means they are influenced by a twitter-middleman
>>740031986i frankly will never understand people who see a new game release and immediately see everything as paid shills. it's simply a newly released game that had a lot of buzz on 4chan for various reasons, it makes sense there'd be a lot of threads, both honest and made to bait retarded niggers like (you).curiously enough you guys never seem to pop up for actually shilled garbage like assassin's creed
I only pirate indie games because it pisses off all the right people.
>>740031849>>740031986>niche but established film director makes lower-mid budget art house film that pays homage to vintage cinema>film critics love it even if it doesn't blow up the box office>people interested in movies say "yeah, I guess that makes sense. I just need something more casual myself">niche but established game studio makes a lower-mid budget retro game that pays homage to older gen games>game critics love it even if it doesn't sell millions>/v/ says "See!?! They are trying to force their sexual brainwashing agenda on us!! They are shilling! They are on Blackrock Soros payrolls!! We need to make everyone know that this is unacceptable"We unironically need a WW3 and thermonuclear global holocaust to weed out retards. Holy fuck, these soft decades have made humanity rot.
>>740035797Does Assassin's creed even have threads to shill in? Who cares about Assassin's Creed?
>>740035797It is because anti-woke people are pissed off that the only games that have the general aesthetic content that they want (Anime titties and shit) are all gacha games, indie games with more interesting game play are going to generally have less incentive to try to pander to people through such low brow means and they are also artsier people in general too. Chuds in general don't want any sort of "woke" game to be made at all, they want all games to basically be ZZZ-tier goon shit at the very least and by using dumbass steam chart threads or whatever they can push whatever narratives they want but the reason why "DEI" works is because that shit WORKS. You already got a base of consumerist sheeple who will already buy whatever crap you shit out, so long as it's even remotely playable while you also get a new demographic as well. Capitalists are always trying to expand their market and there is only so much twitter chuds out there. Like even nowadays only 6%~ or so people give a shit about the "Great Replacement" in spite of how much noise that shit gets on twitter and 4chan for example. I don't think that consumers want overtly ugly wokeslop but the majority of games that do have a trans or an ugly black chick aren't actually that in your face about it because corporations have vast amounts of resources dedicated to sussing out what your average gamer actually wants to play.
>>740035797A lot of people are tourists who only come here for culture war stuff or to use the website as a designated shitting street.
>>740031849>popular = goodFuck off retard
>>740035797>it's simply a newly released game that had a lot of buzz on 4chan for various reasons
>>740031849>muh playerspic related is one of the games with the overall best reception on /v/, even to this day.Guess how well it did in sales?
Indie games hit saturation a while ago. It's unfortunate. This looks good. But I have literally maybe hundreds of other indie games I want to get around to playing at some point. Not to mention actual retro games.
>>740035797>I never understand the current state of /v/Here's your answer.
>>74003184912k lmao how did the shovel knight devs fail this hard
>>740036656game too hard
>>740033990How so? They'll staunchly promote and defend pirating Nintendo software in one breath, and then cry that nobody wants to drop a "measly" $20 on a GBA romhack in the next.
>>740036132Next to Call of Duty and gacha games, Assassins creed is one of the only series where the threads are mostly positive.
>>740033358In this case it's a thing specifically because if Mina underperforms Yacht Club is gonna ram into the nearest iceberg and sink.
GOATED MEGA MAN X CLONE IS FREEhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/858710/Gravity_Circuit/IT'S BETTER THAN MINA THE SHIT SWALLOWER
>>740036821'jeets now just pulling random crap from Steam and pretend it's better?
>>740031849Garbage controls, mediocre pacing and terrible combat. Sucks because I can't refund it anymore.
>>740036074> Studio made one game that got popular.> Their second game is not very good and not very popular.Here's a better summary.
>>740037006I didn't even finish Shovel Knight. Mina is better game, objectively.
Kind of insane how 99% of indie devs are one hit wonders and every subsequent game they try to make ends up being shit and flopping hard.
>>740031849>urinalistsJej
>>740032020Same way I slog through 4chan retard posts
>>740036821Gravity Circuit is extremely based and I'm sad to see it in this shitposting thread. That being said, you should really all get it, it's fantastic.
>>740036690>has a glorified debug menu for ez mode babbies>it's still too hard
>>740037156Maybe don't make shitty rehashes of your first game
>>740037323People that would use it get as far as the warning about it turning off achievements and then just don't use it and go right back to complaining about the difficulty.Really not sure what Yacht Club thought was gonna happen with that setup.
>>740037370Grimrock 2 was great though and better than the first game.
>>740031849MTF Troon Rat game sold less copies than your average low effort RPGMAKER hentai sloppa dumped on Steam with machine translations by Kagura Games. The woke trannies that worship black cocks matter got religiously BTFO. Gamers just weren't having it anymore after the Saint Floyd "fiery, but mostly peaceful" chimp outs. Has there ever been a bigger slap to the face rebuking a queer cultural marxist commie lefty dev team? It's even worse than Concord and Hyenas put together.
>>740037503>Grimrock 2 was great thoughNot really>and better than the first game."Better" in the objective sense as it has more things, but subjectively, it's just a shitty rehash of the first game.
>>740037403Filter the retards with skill issues
>>740037006>their first game got popular by pure astroturfing and paying "critics" to prop a mid shit game to 10/10 and shove it everywhere even on xbox crossovers >second game>bro this is shilled and astroturfed>n-noooo it isn't reeeeeeEEwowww
>>740032094Then why don’t you leave?
>>740037549>mtf troon rat gameWhy are you guys like this
>>740031986We just like the game
>>740031849The game is good, but I feel like the low popularity is to blame on the graphics. Massive pixels don't look good on a modern 1440p LCD and the color palette is ugly.Never forget the #1 mainstream audience attractor is visuals.
>>740037574>shitty rehashWhat are you even talking about? The island setting was completely different and allowed a completely different sort of progression system. You weren't just heading down, you were actively trying to find keys to enter a tower. It was way different unless you're just going with a >durrr same genreWhich is the most brain dead of complaints. >not reallyNo, it was really good. Like one of my favorite games ever.
>>740037627Nice gaslight faggot
>>740032773>10 million dollar gbc gameYacht Club is possibly more corrupt than Russia and Ukraine combined.
>>740031849You know what sells well? Handholdy normie slop. So I guess you think that’s the greatest video games ever made. Journalists are shot, but the game is honestly fantastic, just not compatible with a mainstream audience.
>>740037627that's what happens when a userbase gets replaced with a different kind of userbase
>>740037664Normalfags just don't have nostalgia for the Gameboy Color
>>740037675You spend all that time in the dungeon, dreaming about what the outside is like based on notes/lore/character races and then you end up in a... dungeon island, where no NPCs exist.Great sequel, guys.>Like one of my favorite games ever.You don't play a lot of games
>>740037574The first one was pretty shit too.The 2nd floor with the thousands of spiders about enough material for maybe 10 antivenoms probably filtered 60% of players by itself.
>>740037639No I don't
>>740037767You realize the game isn't a direct sequel where you control the same characters, right? The fact that you didn't even grasp that tells me all I need to know about your shitty opinion. I know this is /v/ but man, the people on here are so stupid.
>>740034225>this is a common mistake with indies where once they make one hitSeems like its also a common mistake with large AAA studios.>oh no, why does our game cost 500mil to make>studio in literally the most expensive city in the most expensive state in the US easily doubling if not tripling wage costs aloneYeah... I wonder why jobs that could be done remote are being forced into offices while also forcing them to work in the most expensive cities on the planet.
>>740036536This and Mina are both dogshit.
>>740037664If the dev made the game under a reasonable time and budget it would have been plenty popular enough. Just saying.
>>740037892Don't care, history has proven me right with LOG2 being a huge fucking flop in comparison to the first game.
>>740031986we just like the game you bloody bastard benchod
>>740036536>best reception on /v/>shit salesNo shit sherlock. Is it because /v/ is some sort of single mind savant at detecting great games? Or is it because games like that are very niche, and as long as a niche game gets only marketed at its niche, it will be incredibly well received albeit not selling well because its... well, niche.
Its a bit mean to hate on an indie game imo
>>740038109When LOG3 then bro? Huh?
>>740038148everyone treats indies like they should with AAAs and AAAs how they treat indies.
>>740031849Yeah, but how does near identical game do without the urinalists sucking it off constantly?https://gamalytic.com/game/3216340Loathe as I am to admit it, the urinalists still have at least some power left. The tranny rat game deserves less sales than Tearscape otherwise.
>>740031849Account based in west Asia
>>740036536>>740038090If TWEWY released on the 3DS instead of the DS and was otherwise the exact same game yes it would have made money. The market for anime games expanded yugely
Why are people so autistic about the dumb rat game?
>>740038148Indie devs shouldn't expect leniency just because they can put themselves across as scrappy underdogs.
>>740033513That's fucking insane for a gameboy game.
>>740034618
>>740035551Maybe I should shoot ropes between Shifu's tits?
>>740034253>10 million dollar budget>2 million gross revenueLMFAO.
>>740031849It's an alright game, but shovel knight was better. It would be nice if the mouse had more sex appeal.
>>740038052>My bias narrative is more important than facts
>>740034352I would buy it never. I wouldn't want a single cent of my money going to Black Felons Matter.
>>740034431What kind of muttoid is that? Looks like a jeet / SEA monkey hybrid of some sort.
>>740038728uh oh, badass
>>740031849Well I like the game a lot and I'm going to play it right now. Bye!
>>740038795And the fact is, the numbers don't lie, and they spelt disaster for the LOG devs
>>740034815We all know that this had no effect on the sales. If this game had a shovel knight skin plastered over it, it’d have sold much better. This is just the result of making a game that doesn’t capture people’s interest.
>>740038651My hot take, its not insane. What is insane is that this many employees take 6 fucking years to push out a gba game.
>>740034765literally no one "sucked off" BG3 except the same illegitimate tranny shills that are pushing mina the swallowerthere were countless threads calling out the bear sex, "magic trick", and other faggotry when BG3 came outplease understand that you and your kind are not welcome here
>>740031849>lets not cash in on our successful game and make shovel knight 2, lets make a completely new game and spend six years on it. For comparison Link's Awakening(which is the main inspiration for this trash) took one and a half years to make, this took six and doesn't look any better for it. fucking retards deserve the flop and also deserve to go bankrupt. braindead faggots.
>>740031849You lost, tortanic discord raider
>>740031986I mean what do you want them to do? If they don't sell it's over for them. But yeah this kind of shilling is always pathetic
>>740031849>Yet, a wet fart of <13k concurrent player peakPopularity and Quality are two separate traits, you shitforbrains zoomerdrone homosexual. And 13k concurrent for pixelcringe indyslop that was HOPEFULLY cheaply produced is actually gangbusters. You can easily double that for total sales already. $20 times 26 thousand buys (just on Steam) is $520,000. That's $364,000 after Gabe, Rent Parasite Lard Ass, steals 30%. Which is already a good haul, before considering sales on other stores and platforms.
>>740039219Mina is shitloads better game than Shovel Knight. Also, Shovel Knight is popular because it was being sold at retard cheap price for long times.
every thread is either complaining about blm, complaining it's too hard/confusing or furries jerking off to rato
>>740038842Reminder about /pol/fags
played 10 minutes, had An absolute blast
>>740039552it doesn't matter if its a better game, their whole studio was riding on it being as much of a hit as shovel knight
>>740039872why is it always that phrase
it's obvious a lot of favors were called in for this campaign.YCG must be very valuable to the (((cause))), so they're not allowed to fail.
>>740039552It should've cost peanuts to develop, but no. It had a 10 million dollar budget thanks to LA.
>>740033321thisyttd would've been unknown in the west wihout vgperson and memes from 2019 that came all from /v/and tumblr
I never found Shovel Knight to be that good, despite the fellating and parading it got, but at least it wasn’t as ugly and stiff as this game. The gameboy zelda aesthetic is not worth emulating, you have to have your head up your nostalgic ass to think it is. And you’re not gonna get the fromdrones without the fake 2deep shit. And any excitment waned after taking forever on this piddly looking game. And the demo probably hurt more than helped. The whole undertaking was so ill conceived. But you can’t blame them when Shovel Knight got more success than deserved and they were able to coast on its name for a decade
>>740037156That's why it's better to update the original than make a sequel, you'll see more success that way
