No design is something else. Mixtape's GAMEPLAY OPTIONAL approach makes it even lesser of a game than your typical walking simulator. Even some VNs have more gameplay. It's just a movie.

10/10 best game of all time from all the usual suspect woke game journo shithouse cunts for a 3 hour long movie. More control input needed in a DVD menu. Absolute joke and I'm really glad it's getting absolutely shit on and mocked for being a totally in authentic piece of shit.

>>738742627

That's how it's obvious it has been totally bought and paid for. A legit review might praise it's story/atmosphere/soundtrack or the novelty of the non-gameplay 'interactivity' but then acknowledge that it's a little light on actual game and maybe at a stretch drop a 7 or 8/10 on it... But no, 10/10 across the board. So blatant it's hilarious these journos dare sit and say they're not bought out.
I mean it's not a new thing. Studios have been wining and dining gaming journos as long as video games have been a thing but come on this is ridiculous.

It only had like 2200 max players. That's not even enough revenue to song licence the game used.

Just play life is strange and life is strange: before the storm, and that sums up this whole genre.

From what I watched...
1. The soundtrack, which is supposed to be a cohesive element, instead screams 'we got the rights to these more or less deep cuts for free' and/or 'the rights owners of said deep cuts would like for more exposure, please', which sort of (and by sort of i mean 'absolutely') diminishes any novelty, credibility, digressions about indie games and graphics, or any other positive arguments that could ever possibly be made for the """"""""""""""""""""game""""""""""""
2. it's not worth it for me to continue, this game sucks ass on every single imaginable level. NO ONE WHO HAS EVER PLAYED A GAME WOULD GIVE IT A 10. NO ONE.

It just doesn’t feel authentic. There’s just a certain “soul” that would be required to exist in a project like this for me to enjoy it, and this doesn’t have it. It’s very clearly built by people who are enamored with the “idea” of just being a “regular person”, but they’re so disconnected from actual regular people that it comes off as somewhat off-putting. The Ellison connection makes it funnier lol, “look everyone I too enjoy when society was good,” while it all comes off with the same grace as a turbo-autist forced into a social situation outside their comfort zone.
Also, the main girl’s voice pisses me off. She’s trying too hard.
It really does have the bones of something that could be great, but it straight-up refuses to actually engage with anything on a seriously deep or psychological level. Nothing about why she wants to run away to New York, nothing in depth about why the one girl hates her dad so much outside “he’s a cop and authority is bad,” nothing about the stoner dudebro at all really. It’s a shame, honestly. With a better writer, they could’ve very easily ripped every nostalgia-pilled millennial a new asshole about choosing to escapism and living in the past instead of the present, but them’s the breaks, I guess. Wouldn’t expect much from an Ellison to begin with.

Let's be reasonable and logical, and face up to facts, women aren't human; they're not even like monkey's or orangutans. Those muddle-headed, pea-brained, waste-your-money liberals might want to brainwash you into thinking that girls are good for something other than sucking cock, but you and I and every other sensible man knows better.

These sluts were put on Earth to steal your money; be whining, complaining and arrogant; and to serve as reasonably comfortable holsters for your erections when one is aroused by the call of nature.

First off, scientific research has it that women just aren't the same as men. They don't like things like cameras or computers or state-of-the-art stereos, simply because the higher centers of their brains aren't developed as well as a man's. Furthermore, according to a very fine article in The National Enquirer, it's been proven that women aren't as smart as men. It takes real guts to admit it, but women are mindless creatures... Don't let those detestable, ugly, disgusting, sour-pussed lesbian diesel-dyke Women's Libbers fool you, along with their cotillions of homo yes men. Women are most happy when they are serving their twin gods of Mammon and king cock.

Men work hard, make money, grind the wheels of business, only to fall victim to early deaths dealt out by the insane caprices of vengeful sluts... they should be rounded up in a pen filled with pigs and forced to eat filthy offal, and maybe then they would appreciate a fine figure of a man who wants to own and take care of them, even if he is perhaps just a wee bit nervous and high-strung and suspicious of some people's motives.

I can accept art games getting good reviews. I sure as hell didn't raise a stink when Journey was getting 10/10s.
The thing about Mixtape is that its not a good art game either.
The whole thing is just an impersonal generalization of what the 90s was like- made into an interactive 3 hour game.
It has as much artistic value as scrolling a buzzfeed article about nostalgic 90s toys or watching AI slop of 90s kids going to 90s mcdonalds with 90s haircuts.
The character's don't exist to be characters, they exist to embody well known archetypes from 90s movies so that you reminisce about the 90s some more.
The characters aren't there to actually be looked AT, they're there to be looked THROUGH, like a window.
Reviewers talking about how they "were moved by the characters" are fucking full of it. They're mannequins at the front window of the 90s Nostalgia Store. They're not characters.
The antics and escapades they get up to don't serve any purpose other than "haha! that's what they would do in 90s movies!".
- TPing the hecking teacher's house. Like in the movies!
- Making a getaway from the police by riding a shopping cart. Yup! Just like the movies!
- Discovering an abandoned cabin in the woods and claiming it as your hideout? I remember that from a movie!
- Making a cuhraaaaayzee custom slushie at the convenience store and giving it a wacky name? Dude I LOVE 90s movies!

There is no perspective.
There is no authorship.
There is nothing being explored.
There is nothing being said.
This game is nothing.
And using that dogshit trend-chasing spiderverse 12fps interpolated animation gimmick is just the cherry on top.

They're going for the non-existing nostalgia of an era that doesn't exist (mid 90s but behaving like a 80s teen movie with 80s fashion and tech). The dialogue is cringe as fuck, they mention the music and the author (when you'd usually mention song's name only). Also, if they liked music that much, wouldn't they even try to do synth music or even play the guitar?
And the songs the developers picked aren't what rebel teenagers at that time would listen. They'd be going full grunge and other shit like that.

>shitty indie game where the marketing campaign is just trying to stir up another gamergate when there's literally nothing defensible about this retarded oscarbait "game" to begin with

>same level of grossly biased media coverage and collusion
>close proximity to news of another game having Anita Sarkeesian as a consultant
I'm tired, boss...

Top one is made to give female """gamers""" the ick looking at two teens making out, intentionally disgusting and so on, if you look through MC's personality.
Bottom one is lapped up exclusively by browns and huwhite fat pedophiles whose sense of humor starts and ends on "uooooh cunny" slop of a joke.
Anyway, hang all soijakkers on lampposts.

>unpretentious

Shut the fuck up

>>738763912
Who's the bottom one made by? Who laps up the top one?

>Crimson Desert is a 6/10 for what it's trying to be
>Mixtape is a 10/10 for what it's trying to be
This makes perfect sense. You just don't understand it because you're retarded.

>>738764209
>Crimson Desert is a mediocre example of an open-world RPG
>Mixtape is a shining example of non-games created for game journalist clout
That actually makes sense now.

>>738764209
>>Mixtape is a 10/10 for what it's trying to be
But its not.
It's a horrible art game. Art games are usually propped up for having strong emotions, engaging characters and good stories, and Mixtape, I can tell you right now, does not have those.

>>738763643
What? No. The proud gaming journalists aren't giving stellar review to half-assed woke trash to stir up controversy. C'mon. That's silly.

Game journalists work hard to review games for your benefit. We definitely don't live in a universe where literally everything that happens passes through a rage algorithm to send out instructions over a global network to millions of people about how angry/supportive they should be over the thing that happened.

That's insane. That's like some evil parallel universe in a science fiction novel. That can't ever happen.

>>738764525
The main characters are all terrible people and the game isn’t even self aware that they are. American Psycho works as social commentary because Bateman is a self aware caricature. This “game” has none of that.

>>738764209
Bro is bending over backwards to defend a fucking game journalist opinion. You are a redditor.

>>738731449
Its because I never had friends in high school and I wasnt generally an asshole to the neighborhood so the game doesnt do anything for me, theres no nostalgia bait in it for me.

I was just hanging out in my room playing Soul Calibur 2 on my dreamcast in 2001 or whenever this shit is supposed to be in

>"OFFICER DAD, I WILL BURN EVERYTHING DOWN IF YOU STAND IN MY WAY"
>"Hmm... very well daughter, your spunk has made me withdraw."
Literally justify this. Are we just enjoying being little shits?

>>738764660
So it really is just Life is Strange again

>>738731449
oh my fucking god you fucking losers will never quit will you, WHO GIVES A FUCK IF THE GAME IS SHIT ARE YOU SERIOUSLY GOING TO SPEND THE NEXT FUCKING MONTH OBSESSING OVER SOME WOKE SLOP SHIT YOU WILL NEVER PLAY??/ YOU GIVE IT MORE PRESS THAN THEIR PAID FUCKING MARKETERS DO!!!!! GET A LIFE YOU FAT FUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>738764731
The writting is so bad, holy shit

>>738731449
I don't hate it at all.
I love it for opening up more peoples' eyes to the fact that games journalism has absolutely no integrity and every reviewer can be bought.

>>738733453
same, I wasn't an indie kid/hipster or whatever you want to call it. I think you have to be a rich kid to really appreciate stuff like this because dorks and geeks of a lower class wouldn't care about stuff like this, especially back in the 90's. Devs got a weird chip on their shoulder.

The morale of this story fucking SUCKS.
Practically saying that being alcoholics and the characters are so awful.
For being an "adventure" game it fucking sucks.

>>738764783
People are fixating on a run-of-the-mill adventure game because they're trying to launder themselves into the "real gamer" crowd while playing slop like gacha and open world games. Mixtape is made for a very specific crowd and doesn't have influence outside of its niche but we need to act like its the worst thing ever to validate our own tastes in slightly-above-idle-games tier sludge. Its very deliberate and precise.

>>738764991
Smashing Pumpkins and Joy Division were at their peak in the 90's.

>>738764783
>producer is the daughter of the second richest man alive and there are 30+ review sites obviously being finessed with money/goodies/connections to give good reviews
>"just ignore it"
How about no, you fucking doormat.

>>738765193
>Made for a very specific crowd
People who don't play videogames?

>>738765193
Funny coincidence that a game made for a "very specific crowd" just so happened to resonate perfectly with every reviewer with a pulse.

>>738765660
I'm not denying that the hype is inorganic but that's literally every game with big money behind it. Curiously its this one that collectively brought the entire internet together to grind an ax on.

>>738731449
never even heard of this until a few days ago on here, looks pretty shit like a life is strange knock off

>>738765880
>but that's literally every game with big money behind it.
Mixtape is an indie game

>>738748034
That's what gets me the most, they can't even get the title right.

>>738765880
>but that's literally every game with big money behind it.
Saying the quiet part out loud.
The game presents itself as a scrappy little art project by underdogs and its anything but.

Teenage girl (Cassandra): I want you to understand, this ain't a catastrophe — It's a warning. (guitar riff zoom in) Daddy, if you trap me here this will only be the beginnings of my wicked ways. (guitar riff zoom in) Cus I'm angry and I'm wired and I'm fixing for a whole lotta' trouble. (double guitar riff zoom) If you make me stay here, I'm gonna burn the whole fucking place down! (crazy guitar strumming slow zoom out)

police dad: There'll be patrol cars all up and down this road. Get out of here. Go on. Back the way you came.

teenage girl: And?

police dad: (heavy defeated sigh) Well... I guess we have ourselves an understanding.

teenager 1, mispronouncing her name: Cassahndra! That was amazing!

teenager 2: I mean... Are you okay?

cassandra: I saw Death in front of me... And I walked out to meet it.

teenager 1: Haha! Wow. Okay. Awesome.


This is what the entire game is building to. This is the ultimate showdown and catharsis that's supposed to be so relatable, and the ultimate proof it is just a theater kid nepo jerk off session. It is an argument you have in your head in the shower before you towel off and remind yourself how retarded that would be. This is the level of writing on display.

>>738731449
I hate it because those kids should be in prison but the game was made by a sheltered billionaire who has probably been bought out of life ending trouble multiple times. it's literally "let them eat cake: the game"
