Because of this little thing called "Copyright". It costs a lot of money to put actual famous music in your media.
I think that's a thing now? Being really nostalgic for when you were a toddler?
Nothing about the game is convincingly Pacific Northwestern, and it mentions a Deftones song from 1997 so it can't be set earlier than that.
Does it? It's not in the soundtrack, although that doesn't mean much. But this is also the same game where a kid burns a house down without issue, so narrative problems are just par for the course. I didn't even catch that this game was supposed to take place somewhere up in Washington or whatever, that makes some of the weird shit even more egregious.
I dunno, I still think a bullshit synthwave track from 2011 fucks the entire point of licensing a bunch of music that should have been available in whatever time period it's supposed to be set in.
Maybe that's why there's also so many positive reviews from Russia and Brazil? I can't believe anyone from the US over 40 could think anything in this game makes sense.
Hell, just the idea that The Touch by Stan Bush is on the same mixtape/cd/whatever as Silverchair and The Smashing Pumpkins is fucking absurd, but then also This Is How We Do It by Montell Jordan?
i thought big suck (Big Sur) put it in cali.
Nah, the sibling of one of the characters has a roadtrip mapped out to Los Angeles, that shows a route starting way up north with a "Welcome to California" sign, so it's at least Oregon.
Pretty sure it's actually 1999 which is hilarious. Be Quiet and Drive (far away) was on a road trip playlist note you could interact with, which I think is 98'.
The Middle/Upper-Middle class on the West Coast really produced the worst generations of people in the last 50 years.. they had it too fucking good, the places over there are too nice to live in, and the scenery is too good, so they just dream of destroying it, and everything else.
BTW, Anyone remember The Rockford Files? NBC just delayed the airing of the reboot. Perhaps for the better.
That' a fair point but at the same time, one would think Mixtape's game publisher has the ability to afford such an expense if it was deemed necessary.
If this game is even nominated for anything you know the industry is completely cooked.
So what you're saying is it will be nominated for practically everything?
calis pretty big. thats only the southern half
You mean southern 3/4. That first X on the path is north of San Francisco(about the border of Mendocino and Sonoma counties), right about where the bend is on the eastern border with Nevada, which is already north of Sacramento. Plus why would they have a "welcome to California" postcard on the pin board if it wasn't going to be a trip at least from Oregon? Even if it does start in California, that's still so far north that it may as well be Oregon since it's up in the Shasta/Lassen area.
40 year old Australian white women making shit up about a time they lived through and know didn't have all this globohomo inflicted bullshit making the kids act up. They probably could have actually made a good game about their 90s Australia experience with muh fairy bread and dim sim nostalgia but instead just made shit up based on some retarded American osmosis.
