If that's not a 10/10 IGN reviewed game I don't know what could ever hit those heights!

Value is subjective. Making such a short game will limit sales because many people do actually consider price vs time as an important metric when deciding on purchasing a game. I wouldn't pay full movie ticket price for a 15 minute short film regardless of quality.

This doesn't look like the type of game I'd typically play, but I'm not one to ignore pretty wide praise. I'll definitely give this a shot on game pass.
I saw a couple clips and it seems like it could be cool. I'm also a sucker for good music interweaved in gameplay.
2-3 hours seems like the right amount of time I'd want to spend with a game like this, so I'll probably give it a whirl.

Jesus Christ this looks like unrepentant dog shit.

Well, that's par for the course isn't it? That's the level of intelligence and rationale you can expect from people who spend their days crying about woke this, DEI that. There's no consistency or logic. It's kind of pathetic.

Interesting that there seems to be so many upset gamers in this thread.

Mixtape looks cool to me, sorry guys. I've been interested in checking it out since it was first announced. Then again, I'm a sucker for well done coming-of-age stories.
I'm excited to check this out later. Happy to see it doing so well too!

Thought the reveal/announce trailer was cool (esp the Music and 90's vibe) but I was expecting a bit more than 3 hours.
Giving it a go regardless.
Giving it a go regardless.
Ok I just started it.
- It's cringe from the word go
- There's no way to turn off the terrible 15 fps animations on the characters, so there's this weird disconnect between their animations and the the actual fps of the game
- Can't turn off any of the post-processing separately. No way to disable chromatic aberration, depth of field, etc.
- Game doesn't expose the engine.ini file, so no way to get around the aforementioned settings menu limitations
- No HDR toggle, so not sure if the game actually supports it or not
- No DLSS/FSR/XeSS
- Image quality is horrific. One of the blurriest games I've ever seen

Behold! IGN's 10/10!
Fucking called it back in the Crimson Desert OT.
I knew the game was lacking a tonsil hockey mini-game. I said that it was essential to make Crimson Desert ascend to greatness.
You guys all called me crazy and a hater. Who's laughing now?
This is precisely the reason why IGN could not give Crimson Desert a higher score in good conscience.

That math doesn't add up. This would be like paying 25% of the movie ticket's price for that 15 minute short film.
Otherwise I get your point, I just agree to disagree.

Way to assume that persons gender you insensitive chud.
Holy fucking shit I couldn't stand it and dropped it after a few songs. It's even worse than I imagined. Every character is cringe. The art style is horrific corporate slop. There's literally no gameplay.
Every person who gave this a good score should have their civil rights taken away.

do not tempt fate do not contrain Wonder Woman's thighs do not do not
Scores only matter when they fit the agenda.
Im genueinly curious about this game.
Its only ~3 hours I can finish it this weekend.
Its on Gamepass so other than time i could probably pull it off.

Reviewer compares it to a John Hughes film during his prime (Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Home Alone). Once I see how it runs on the Steam Deck OLED I'm probably gonna buy it. I loved Dispatch and generally find these "interactive story" type games great palette cleansers between AAA releases.

Yeah, if we're talking Dispatch/Telltale, cool. Not really games as much as they are glorified TV shows/movies larping as games, but they're fun experiences.
This one only being 2-3 hours long though? Wtf?

I was gonna say this looks fine based on the trailer, but then I went to this page and wtf lol

Also I feel like all these 90s nostalgia games are aiming for the early 90s which I'm too young to really remember. Someone should make a game about the late 90s/early 2000s which were totally different.

Wait what the hell, this game is suppoosed to be set in 1999? I call bullshit, people like this were extinct by then, if they ever existed to begin with.

Stacy Rockford is a girl and Colin is a boy.Behold! IGN's 10/10!
This proves it is not woke.
It's also reminiscent of gameplay in other walking sims like that bullshit one where you go over the chicks dead family tree that I hated.
I can tell I'll probably like this one though.
Stay based.

Yeah this might actually be on my radar now. Don't care if it's woke (or not). That kind of universal praise doesn't come easy. If it's well written and creative, I'm interested.

According to google you're probably remembering Edith Finch. Never played that one
. I did like Gone Home, though. It had some awesome music.I see some people mentioning Dispatch. I lasted two minutes in Dispatch before I had to quit. Couldn't handle the zoomer Marvel dialogue lol.
I'll watch some more of Mixtape before I 100% make up my mind if it's good or some weird pervert game.

It's fantastic. A very good story told in a very creative way, where the gaming aspect serves its purpose. Nothing to do with this thing IMO.
you're talking about different times
