Mixtape - GOTY? IGN agrees!

[Judge Dredd]

if I were a conspiratorial man, I'd say it would be to condition the goyim to simply consume or leave without critically thinking about anything.

If I remember it right, it was on the back of Ubisoft making a trailer for a game which got so heavily disliked they threw a world class hissy fit and Youtube, in response, removed the feature in some weird "It's to make the platform less toxic" thing.

It's not that.

For YouTube, it was when Biden whitehouse videos kept getting dislikes. They were already thinking about it when a YouTube Rewind got a bunch of hate previously.
Netflix, some female comedian with the right opinions got low ratings.
Rotten Tomatoes, I forget which film it was specifically, but there was some movie that had the right politics and got ratioed.

Most games, even indie games, get some public money in the form of art grants and tax credits. It's partially why Montreal and the province of Quebec is basically one of the main epicenters of gaming.

There's better arguments to make against Mixtape, but this ain't it.

But are these grants handed out fairly? Why is she getting the money and not some genuine indie dev with a big idea and just needs the funds to realise it.

This is part of what GamerGate was about. The corruption of IndieFund and the Indie Games Festival giving awards to games they had granted loans to in order to make more money.

the director lives in one of the most bougie suburbs in Australia.

And her Dad is the fifth richest man in the world and banks are afraid of losing his business.

I went back to Forspoken after watching a let's play of this shit. Do you know how bad a game has to be for me to go back to stuff like Forspoken and Mirror's Edge: Catalyst? Hell even Perfect Dark Zero is better than this.

The positive reviews....they just gotta be paid reviews. There is literally no way.........

"Indie" seems to have become based on the studio size in the modern lexicon, especially due to how many "Indie kickstarters" got poached by Epic paying them a million dollars.

We have argued on here before about what Indie means.
I think most people reasonable agree though it means not much money and a small team. No publishers.

Rotten Tomatoes, I forget which film it was specifically, but there was some movie that had the right politics and got ratioed.

Captain Marvell was when they removed the audience ability to express an opinion pre release. They lied about at the time saying it was a long standing intent but a couple of weeks later they directly attributed it to that film. They also lied (as did the legacy media presenting it as the irrationality of negatively reviewing films before they had been seen. The actual question the public were answering however was "Are you going to watch this film?" or something similar so they gaslit on that also. Shortly after they made it more difficult for the public to comment generally with the "verified review" system.

Netflix, some female comedian with the right opinions got low ratings.

Amy Schumer IIRC. They invested a lot of money into that "comedienne" and it really did not go well! Schumer - a modern example of that old joke about the leather looking better when it was on its first cow.

Watch as this game gets a game award for music over meowgenics.

IF its up for any awards at the game awards I am going to laugh and laugh.

Schumer

Her one joke was about having a stinky pussy that she repeated ad nauseum. It's not funny when women 'joke' about having a stinky pussy because it's probably true and you're stuck in a room with them.

 

[Scarlett Johansson]

What a boring ass list. The only one I recognize a bit is Smashing Pumpkins. Dear God I dread the next nostagiaslop that tries to pretend they're late 1990s-2000s era.

That's actually sacrilegious that you don't know Siouxsie & the Banshees. (One of their songs is in Sleeping Dogs)

One of my favorite stories to tell about IGN is from back around MGSV's release. Keep in mind this was a clusterfuck kojima wankfest game which had a PAID demo the year prior (ground zeroes) to help pay for the hell development cycle. When the game released, it was quite literally a Half-Finished Product. The game, by creator admission, wasn't complete, it had a missing endgame and was clearly a buttfucked passion project from an autistic hollyjew-worshipping Jap who ALWAYS ran over budget. But this time Konami had enough of Kojimbo and finally put him out to pasture...

This literally unfinished game received a Perfect, Flawless, 100% "Greatest Game Ever Made" 10/10 from those niggers at IGN. However, that isn't the best part of the story. The best part of the story is that - at the time of this 10/10 perfect flawless review from IGN - their fucking shameless website had advertisements for MGSV all over their site banners.

IGN being shit was already a cheeky meme back then, but it took seeing bullshit like that to make me personally realize - these niggers are cuntbag sellouts. These niggers are more bribed with shekels than America's Congress. Story over.

The reviews are obviously paid for. Some Eastern developers don't play the game and IGN give their games poor reviews. It's not a coincidence.

Every year we inch closer and closer to the final and absolute death of legacy games journalism, and that's a good thing.

Who the fuck makes a game about a 90's mixtape without;

Barbie Girl - Aqua
Spice Girls/Backstreet boys
Witch Doctor - Cartoons
Baby one more time - Britney Spears
Wonderwall - Oasis
Gangsta's Paradise - Coolio

Like seriously, if I am making a game based in the 90s I am throwing one of those in there just for the fact they were fucking everywhere.

I'm actually going to defend excluding these, in case that even was a decision borne out of anything but financial/licensing issues. The characters are all shithead teenagers who hate anything super mainstream, so she wouldn't be caught dead with any of these on her mixtape.

Yes and they probably cost more. But also consider that the retards who made this game didn't actually grow up in the US in the 90s, some of them having not grown up in the 90s at all other than having been toddlers.

You can look at the chart history for all of the above songs and see that they were global sensations. Even something like the Gangsta's Paradise album did as well in many non English-speaking countries as it did in the US.

Remember 80-90s nostalgia, guys?!! Remember MIX TAPES? AND SKATE BOARDS??? AND ROAD TRIPS??? REMEMBER (90S THING)??

 

[lolcow yoghurt]

My wife's boyfriend played the game, said it made him cry out of nostalgia. Game of the millennium!

I remember a set of Kevin and Perry sketches, along with many jokes from the 90s/early 00s which pointed out teenagers who were "Like this" loved Oasis and would listen to it a lot, there's a great line from the Kevin and Perry movie where his parents are singing wonder wall and he goes off on them for doing so because they're too old for it.
Again, it's people who never lived the 90s trying to go "We totally get the 90s so here's a playlist of obscure-ish 90s songs which teens would totally listen to" without understanding what making a mixtape entailed in the 90s.
It wasn't "Let me boot up the PC, download some pirated songs online and then mash them together onto this casette", it was finding a local radio station playing music and doing the true test of skill, patience and fortitude for every 90s teenager which was pressing 'Play / Record'. Now sure, maybe they listen to some obscure ass radio which plays this list of music noone has ever heard of, but I highly doubt it, they'd be full of popular constantly played songs on mainstream radio because guess what's reliably on 90s popular radio for you to sit around for hours on end trying to steal for your tape.

Saw someone find how many button presses are necessary to finish the game (150 if you're curious) and end the video with "Remember how The Walking Dead had consequences?" Unironically.

I want to say we're regressing but I wish modern video games was as good as the TWD was released.

While I don't doubt some money was delved out to give this one good reviews, you should never forget that this game is fundamentally key jangling about nostalgia. It presents an idealized version of a certain time period and allows a given reviewer to relive their nostalgia and crap like that game journalists eat up. Especially when there's 0 challenge or consequence to the inputs you make.

Personally, as someone who grew up around the time period this game is supposed to represent, it doesn't invoke much nostalgia for me since there's 0 Nu-metal or rap and none of the characters are calling stuff retarded or gay. Hell, no one even mentions Stone Cold Steve Austin once. Not very nostalgic but then again, the nostalgia presented in this game is so nebulous you could prolly say it takes place in the 80s and no one would bat an eye.

David Cage games are unironically art compared to crap like this. At least Cage gets something write every once in awhile and the characters you control can and very much will die if you fuck up. I don't think you can call something a game if you don't at the bare minimum have fail states because then there's no game. It's just your failed animation project.

Hell even something like Katawa Shoujo lets me fall off the roof and die. They've unironically provided a less gratifying gaming experience than something that's just a choose your own adventure picture book.

I used to borrow CDs of songs I liked, put them in a CD/tape/radio I had and record the songs to the tape from the CD, then I’d return the CD to the local American Pie records which had a rental service.

If I ever recorded a mixtape from the radio, I would set a tape to record the full show of a specific DJ I liked and then use a second tape recorder to record the songs I liked while timing it to cut out the radio chatter and any ad reads. No one I knew who made mix tapes ever recorded randomly from the radio because you’d always lose the beginning of the song, I did have one friend who would call in to request a song and then they’d record that though,

Though admittedly I was making mixtapes from 1999-2003. So it was probably a different time,

What consequences? The end result of every choice in The Walking Dead is the exact same.
