Mouse PI for Hire was consistently marketed by the dev on social media for 3 years

IGN gave it only a 6/10 because they thought it would be an LA Noire type of game and because the main character kills too many people

I haven't seen any marketing for Mixtape (Mixrace) yet every major gaming news website gave it a perfect score

and they are both indie games. I guess Mouse's developer was unlucky to not get a publisher that was founded by the daughter of one of Oracle's co-founders.
 
How? It would be like trying to parody Indians, when they already eat cow shit and rape lizards, what is there that could be hyperbolized?
very serious journoshits the people sniffing there own farts the people thinking somebody should take them very seriously and change shit because tits and ass bad.
 
Now you got blacked simps like Mightykeef the Mightykweef, and Kaflief "Kuckmonkey" Adams suddenly shilling for Mixtape because their journalists allies gave it a high score.

Kaflief "Kuckmonkey" Adams
Kathief is the most coattail riding chocolate soy milk cuck they ever made. I know this nigger is in some industry Discord going 'yes massa' and self-flagellating for every tranny journo that tells him to jump. He's acting like it's genuine but he's been Annapurna's slaveboy for a while now.

Annapurna reposted his clip

Also there's rumors of the game getting a limited theatrical release. Which wouldn't be strange considering Annapurna is doing movies and the dev's last game got BAFTA glazed.

This game has brought out the weakest, low T libtard men the industry can muster.

Why I don't take niggers opinions in games seriously. The one I used to talk to when it came to gaming said the changes in ff7 remake/rebirth were good and necessary in today's modern time. Ya fuck them too.
 
The unofficial official opinion among the worst shills, the ones who are presumably doing it for free, is that anyone objecting to the puffing up of Mixtape is "being so weird? Why does this game getting 10/10 bother you, you weirdos who need lives?!?" and they're regurgitating stale "having a Normal One, I guess/go outside and touch grass" memes, the sort of people who often declare they don't care about "culture war bullshit" yet they're heavily invested in it.

"Indie" game funded by both oligarchs and government funding that spouts THE MESSAGE and spent a fortune on licensed music.
The attempt to shift the idea of indie away from self funded 3 guys in a garage games to groups with this kind of backing is some of the most evil gaslighting yet

Hey, they already did it with movies. This tactic's so old hat that there's a Strong Bad Email about it; the last of the original series.

Not everyone even bringing up the absurd reviews for the game is mentioning any kind of culture war bullshit, since you don't have to.

$20 game
3 hours
barely interactive
doesn't even require inputs for many segments of "gameplay"
no failure state

How the fuck is that a 10/10? It doesn't even have the complexity of a typical visual novel.
 
Another line being taken by several of these people is that gamers "hate art". Think it's ridiculous the "gaming press" is falling over each other to promote Mixtape? You must hate art! As if a true, actual industry plant game, made and promoted by people out to get some "indie cred", that looks like the fetal alcohol syndrome afflicted offspring of Into the Spiderverse and some "90s Kids" vague, half-baked ideas of what a 1980s coming of age movie might be like is "art".

It's almost like gamers can smell the astroturf. If these soy fuck journos liked the game and gave it a 7 or 8 out of 10, it would have been far less obvious. But instead this mess has been deemed a perfect or nearly perfect game when it's barely a game to begin with.

One of the common GamerGate jokes was "HAS TEEN LESBIANS 10/10 Game of the Year - Kotaku"

And I swear to god GamerGate only is considered a failure because reality eclipsed even the most absurd mockery of these lunatics. It used to be stupid walking simulators where you slowly learned that the secret was homophobia all along, now it's a 3 hour idle game where the most gameplay is a disgustingly hyperrealistic tongue simulator that is 100% someone on the devteam's fetish.

It's also legitimately funny that this idiot asshole just made something up. Whoever he is.

Admittedly, I do think way too many people tolerate Kojima's pretentious bullshit because they want to believe that writing convoluted acid trips is “deep,” but Metal Gear at least has actual gameplay in between the hour-long cutscenes. Games like Mixtape really are just cutscenes with the occasional no-consequences QTE.
