>highest rated game of the year>could only amass a measly 300k in sales even at only $20Why didn't the shilling campaign work? Are people just totally over the 8-bit retro-inspired pixelshit look at this point?
Go woke
>>740192343Because the only reason it has high reviews is because the devs are woke and journos back their own kind. They're biased. The very simple truth is that the game isn't failing because it's woke, it's failing because it's bad. It's just not that good of a game.
you people act like corpojews are the ultimate evil but also hate indies on principle for some reason
>>740192805Neither of those statements is true. Stop treating /v/ like it's a hive mind collective consciousness. For my personal point of view I have no bias agianst AAA devs and will happily play a modern AAA game if I think it's good(playing 007 First Light right now) and I have no bias against indie games and will play every single one I think looks good. The reason you see hate against both indies and AAA devs is that in both examples their are things you can find fault with.
Nice, I was worried the tears had finally stopped.Keep them coming.
>>740193114>people don't like game>OH MY GOD LOOK AT HOW UPSET YOU ARE YOU'RE LITERALLY CRYINGProjection is a /v/ constant it seems. Look inside yourself and ask why you tie your emotional wellbeing to the success of some random indie game you probably don't actually even like that much.
>>740192343>highest rated game of the yearWorthless metric
>>740192604>Go make 6 million dollars.If anything Mina proves that PC gaming is dead and devs need to focus on consoles
>>740192343>Highest rated game of the yearI don't think it is, mate.
>blm dev
Reminder you can get an alternate ending if you don't sin.
>>740192343How the fuck does it have more reviews than Silksong?
>>740193226>i-i'm not the guy who's been having a meltdown all week, i j-just happen to sound exactly like him Uh huh. Keep those tears coming.
>>740193721>having a meltdown all weekYou just can't help yourself with the projection. Again, ask yourself why this makes you so unreasonably upset.
>>740193567>Go make 6 million dollars.You forgot to factor in Steam's cut. They didn't even hit a million sales to get the lower rate so everything they've earned so far has been taxed at 30%. Not to mention actual taxes.They probably made ~3.5 million out of their 10 million budget.
>>740193226>highest rated game of the year>people don't like gameWhich is it, schizo? The only "people" who dont like it are the ones on /v/ who haven't even played it.Merely shouldn't "projection" isn't the end all argument you think it is.
>>740194019Ok since my post upset you let me rephrase it for you. SOME people don't like the game and this fact upsets you. There does that make you feel better? I have no doubt plenty of people love the game but why does the fact that there exists people on this earth that don't upset you so much? You say projection isn't the end of all arguments and yet you just prove my point by intentionally misinterpreting my point.
>>740193769NTA, but between a game he likes being the highest-rated and selling relatively well, and a prejudiced chud who's obsessed with a BLM donation from 6 years ago, I think anyone with common sense would say you're the one who's upset.
>>740193769>ask yourself why this makes you so unreasonably upsetSo close to self-awareness, we believe in you chuddy!
>>740193650if i had to guess, silksong ignored journos and dropped the game at the same time for everyone meanwhile yacht club is very friendly with them and sent them all early keys with nice bribe packages
>>740194196>and a prejudiced chud who's obsessed with a BLM donation from 6 years agoNotice how you attack a strawman instead of anything I actually said, proving my point that you're upset and projecting. You are upset about that thing and so you just project it onto anyone that disagrees with you because it's something you are obsessed with.>>740194223Proving my point that you're upset and projecting.
>>740192776how is Mina woke?>devs are wokeokay, but is Mina the game actually woke?
>>740192343I played Pipistrello recently and this looks like the same thing. I’ll get to it eventually, maybe pick it up in a sale.
The main inspiration of the game is way less of a genre popular than 2D Platformers
>>740194296Okay clipped dick keep seething the game from the guy who made a blm donation succeeded I guess.
>>740192343The game doesn't have mass appeal. The masses don't want to play Zelda pixelslop and have not been convinced this type of game is great just because it has been repeated to them numerous times and pushed by journalists. It's nostalgia for a style that doesn't actually have much nostalgia attributed to it.
>>740194334im half the towers in, just finished the bone beach and I honest to god have not seen a single thing "woke" about the game. Mina herself is not even a "girl boss" so what the fuck are the genetic dead ends pissing and moaning about?
>>740192343my dude, let it go.its over.
>>740194469Proving my point so hard because I'll also remind you that I have never once in this entire reply chain actually once said that I don't like the game because that's not an opinion I have, I haven't bought it sure but I have nothing against it. I'll probably pick it up on a sale. That's how far gone you are. Again, only one person here is upset about how other people perceive this game and it's certainly not me.>>740194334It's a game about a rat bro.
>>740194467I didn't know Bloodborne was a 2D game, neat.
>Be furfaggot>Game flops>Be based original indie dev>Sell a gorillion copies and win GOTY 2025lol, lmao even.
>>740192343IDK man I don't understand the appeal. It's ok, kind of ugly, and I don't like how unwieldy it feels when you dig.
>>740194296>Notice how you attack a strawman instead of anything I actually saidYour pseudo-intelligence is showing, Anon. The strawman fallacy implies there was an initial argument to begin with, which you never provided.You started with shouting "projection!" then doubled-down in your reply with "Projection" and have now triple-downed with "Projection!"Not every observation is an instance of projection, and you couldn't make your seethe more obvious.And no, that's not "projection!" It's a simple observation.
Game is GOTY tier, but hiding 3 of the main paths was probably a very bad idea. People will never accept it
>>740194296>i'm just a normal person who wants to talk about disliking the game, bro!>ignore the OP where I outed myself as the seething schizo!Uh huh. Keep the tears coming.
>>740194664>It's a game about a rat bro.rats are based
>>740194869Hmm, I wonder who could behind the forced Mina hate campaign...
>>740195227what do you mean?
>>740195142My argument was plain and simple. I argued that you get upset at people disagreeing with you because you have some emotional stock in this game to which your response was a deflection of an argument of the BLM which I never once brought up instead of actually arguing against my point to explain how disliking a thing = being mad that is a literal strawman, just because it's not an argument about the topic you are trying to make it about doesn't make it any less an argument.>Not every observation is an instance of projection, and you couldn't make your seethe more obvious.No it's not but in this specific example it is as again, you are the only one proving you have an emotional bias as I said above I have nothing against the game. I'll stop reiterating the projection claim when you stop proving it to be the truth with each post.>>740195289>i'm just a normal person who wants to talk about disliking the game, bro!Strawman, I don't dislike the game and have no issue with you talking about how much you like it as I have no issue with you liking it.>ignore the OP where I outed myself as the seething schizo!I'm not OP so I genuinely have no idea what you're actually talking about here so I have no idea how to respond to it.>>740195429They are.
>>740195485He probably means the somewhat obtuse way that you get to the Bone Beach. I stumbled onto Coltrane and the Observatory in the mirror but I had to look up the Bone Beach one.
>>740192343scores doesn't really mean a lot nowadays
>>740192343Why did you post the critic review score? It's meaningless if you don't post user score.
>>740193567your lack of logic is something only shills would be able to come up with
>>740195568So you're just a random retard who stumbled into the thread and jumped in front of a bullet for the schizo who's been having a meltdown over this game since it released??? KeK
I like the game. You should too.
>>740196382I entered this thread and saw you have an instant meltdown over the idea of people not liking the game and felt the need to call you out on being by far the most upset person in the thread while accusing other people of crying, yes. I have no defense for people crying about woke shit cause I think they're retards cause as I said it's a game about a rat, what is woke about that? I didn't see anyone else making a post worth calling out so you got called out, that's how it goes. Plain and simple. Retards here really need to stop assuming every post is some grand conspiracy theory of schizos and shills and Discord raiders. Some people just make posts on things that want to say.>>740196530When it goes on sale, I've got a friend who bought it and loved it and his opinions generally aligns with mine so I probably will.
>>740192776Took 500 years to make
>>740196976So did Silksong.
>>740192343Critics would say this game is a "must play" while not saying the same about a game like Xenogears lmao
I bet if the devs used the money they used for the shill campaign they could have made something other than generic pixel slop.
>>740196664>Nice, I was worried the tears had finally stopped>Keep them coming>aaaiiieeeee he's having a meltdown, I have to stop him!>oh and there are no schizos btw, you're making it upUh huh.
>>740192805Indies have done more damage to gaming in the last 5 years than AAA and AA have done in the last 20.
I wasn't expecting Virt to reference Double Dragon Neon in Mina.
>>740197309I do hate repeating myself but you're really proving my point. Anyway this thread is cringe so I'm going to look for a better Mina thread to talk about the game.
>>740195227It's really not that obtuse, they spell out where bone beach is and you can see the area, you just need to figure out how to get there which shouldn't take very long. Most zoomers look shit up nonstop anyways
>>740197005Silksong was a FotM while Mina only has a dedicated fanbase
I don't play as a female
>>740197417Have fun!
it's fine, I'm just not sure most people are in the OG Gameboy tier of retro nostalgia yet
Despite what Mina fans might say, our 'lying eyes' can't convince us this pile of shit looks good.
>>740193607Cat beats mouse, a constant as old as time.
>>740198806I think the art style’s fine, the gameplay seems to be the problem, it looks like a fucking slog.
Anyone ever get issues where your attack direction comes out the wrong way when trying to move quickly?
>>740199751I've got that feeling. There's an annoying dark souls animation lock jank going on
>>740198806Why does this clip get reposted constantly as a self-evident example of the game being ugly. What am I supposed to be seeing?
>>740199909a man with a mental illness
