edit: My bad, it was the fucking Marvel SNAP card game, not Rivals. Still published by a subsidiary of ByteDance... which is just another chinese publisher.
Wasn't the art he's talking about made by chinks?

Also, I remember Blizzard had to seek out Korean artists to make gooner art of their characters because no in-house artist was capable of doing it.
 
Skillup once again showing that he's an industry shill and that Mixtape is an industry plant.

Is there any Australian game for which he won't shill? Even then, the review amounted to "this is a vapid three-hour music video with no depth, conflict or character growth, but it's a cool music video. Recommend."

Maybe. But my point is the chinese publisher of the mobile game is going to be telling the devs what to do 9 times out of 10, even if the dev team is in the US they're still going to play by chinese rules.

There actually is a list of artists for the game, but the names are all over the place so they're literally just commissioning whoever. https://marvelsnapzone.com/artists/
 
As one of the handful of people on earth who thought Exp33 was not a good game and got shit on everywhere for wrongthink, I feel vindicated now that people have been circulating this photo of Anita cozying up to the devs at GDC this year after her STS2 consulting was found out.

Always remember she's been connected to Ubisoft where Sandfall's founder and other devs worked at previously. Landfall and now maybe Sandfall? Why are the names so similar? Something stinks here...

They would let her on in a hearbeat to get some French government DEI grant money. Now the antiwoke youtubers that bent over backwards to kiss Sandfall's ass instead of seeing what the devs were (a nepo company of all white libfrogs that made a mediocre RPG and are just as woke as the rest of AAA), are begging them not to have anything to do with her.
Ubisoft is the single largest (per headcount) game dev in the entire world. Saying someone is connected to Ubisoft means jack fucking shit.
 
Journalists really do not like being called out on the Mixtape-Larry Ellison-Israel connection. This is slowly starting to blow up in their faces.
 
IGN has only (allegedly) given out 65 a perfect 10/10 before (https://www.ign.com/playlist/necromorphiac/lists/igns-1010-reviews)

If the list is correct, Mixtape is better than every single Dark Souls game, with the exception of Elden Ring. LMAO. Expedition 33 got a 9/10 for compairson.
I suspect that that is highly incorrect. On their Gamescoop podcast they always mention that they gave a lot of GB and GBA games tens back in the day but I only see, like, Pokemon, Zelda and Mario games there and stuff like Mario Advance (its SMB 3 with added features) and Link's Awakening is nothing to laugh at.
 
Rhiannon Bevan and Mike Drucker of TheGamer strike again with another anti-gamers clickbait articles just to defend Anita Sarkeesian.

A little bit of a self-promotion, but last day I made a thread dedicated to games like mixtape: games that game journalists gives a shit about, get stellar scores as a result and then fade to obscurity nobody has played them.

People are trying to find a term for those non-games, like "jounoslop" but I wanna say a term has been there all along, since they are referred to as "games for impact" at the game awards.

Both Hollow Knight games a 9/10 too.
Although depressing, the review score isn't as bad as the load of gay journalists referring to it as an indie title, that one is really hitting on a nerve.

There's something almost comical in seeing these faggots play strawman argument, same retard bullshit disney used when that ugly incompetent nigger played the main character in the nominal obi wan kenobi series.
 
I know Skill up already got called out but you guys should read the comment section. There is an all out war there.
> We asked the Mixtape devs how they made 2026's highest rated game
Honest answer: "so we've spent, like, four hours a week trying to get everything done, and then Ms. Ellison came in and rated our game the highest everywhere lol."

This is only a smidge more dishonest than when Digital Foundry, - an outlet that focuses on hardware and vidya performance, - conducted an hour-something-long interview with Remedy on how they've made the most STELLAR narrative-driven game of 2024 with Alan Woke 2. Remember when that happened? I had to be reminded.

That's nothing, I'm yet to be vindicated on that Charlie Kirk's murder wasn't just a tard going rouge but, in fact, a jewop
:ghost:

the ones who are presumably doing it for free,
The journos get old CD players are a bribe gift.

"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
And indies can't afford to spend a fortune on new-old tech.

I've said it before but "Underage Lesbian Simulator" is the creepiest of genres beloved by the creepiest of people. God, one of the mouths still has braces even.
The underage bit is key. These were the same people condemning Pragmata and Steller Blade.

Grifters, Carpal tunnel sufferers, sloths, super early zoomers, communists, muslims, pedophiles, zoophiles, autogynephiliacs...

...yeah, is there anything the vidya pullitzi haven't outed themselves as yet?

So limited color Koss Portapro headphones run $50-60. A lower quantity run would likely cost more per unit. The Syitren r300 CD player retails for $100(it appears to be in a stock color). The t-shirt looks like shit(stitching and collar from the video of the retard who posted his on X), probably $20. The other junk in the box, CD(probably burned) with a custom jewel case insert, ringpop hackey sack, koosh ball, techdeck, bubbletape, stickers and poster another $15.

Plus packaging and shipping, this shit is a $200 box of crap sent to people that gamers are just supposed to accept wasn't a bribe.

Remember, the publishers and studios with even larger budgets send these people on trips to fucking Disneyland for crap like Starwars Outlaws, or fly people out to studios for demos and parties like Highguard. Alyssa Mercante got herself a vacation from NY to Italy that was setup before she was fired as a game journo to promote the latest Anno game.

But no, if you call out the obvious bullshit you're just some evil gamer chud.

CD player, a shitty CD + tape filled with 90s hits that makes for the soundtrack, a sticker of a fake mixtape game for the game boy, posters and more shit.

Are you really expecting a journalist will not try to twist the narrative in his advantage? Nigga, that's literally his job.

You see, when a bunch of asian game devs puts a good looking female character in their game, its sexist and horrible, especially if the character is underage and people don't want to fuck her.
When a western nepobaby makes a grotesque close-up french kissing between ugly teens that totally is just as sexually charged as its disgusting, its stunning and brave.
