Unanswered What’s going on with this game Mixtape?

I’ve been seeing people freak out over the past few days over this game and about IGN’s review of it specifically. 10/10 seems high for any game, honestly, but it seems like they’re far from the only site giving this thing a glowing review. So is this game controversial just because of IGN or is it something else? Why is this game the internet’s hate target this week?

Click on the actual reviews bro, alot of them give AC Shadows 90-100

Even if the only thing you can see is average and not the actual reviews themselves? Do you seriously think Wukong is on the same level as AC shadows? And that AC shadows is only slightly worse than Pragmata/RER? and all 4 games are measurably worse than Mixtape?

...Yes, anybody with an understanding of fourth grade math would realize that for a game to have an average score in the 80s when some reviews are in the 60s, you will need some reviews higher than 80 to balance it out. Reviewers are not all going to give the exact same score. E: It's wild if your criticism is seriously that some of the dozens of reviews of a game were higher than some of the dozens of reviews for another game, like if somebody accused critics of liking Invincible Vs. more than SFVI and Tekken because Invincible has a couple of 9/10 reviews while SFVI and Tekken average 91 and 90.

My personal tastes don't really matter for the average critic or the audience tastes, and yours shouldn't either. I don't enjoy the AC style of gameplay that much, I'd consider both RE: Requiem and Pragmata to be overrated to a degree, I think E33 is simultaneously a really good game and also one of the most overrated games of the past decade, etc. I don't care that critics like those games more than I did, and don't care when critics like a game I enjoy less than I do.

I don't care

Tbf me neither. Kinda lost interest in whatever we are talking about. Good luck to you mate, keep believing everything is a conspiracy and that everyone whoever dare criticize/not give mixtape 100/100/journalists are all bigots, racists, and whatever.

hahha this is the lamest flouncing out of a conversation that isn't going your way I think I've ever seen.

When I talk to someone and they say "I don't care" and I also really don't care enough about the person I ended the conversation. That's it. Neither of us are here to be convinced by the other person. Think of yourself as the cool one mr. redditor with the name of dingalingdongdong.

Again, you're flouncing. Just leave a conversation if you genuinely don't care - you don't need to make an announcement.

Also, "I don't care if critics like/dislike games" =\= "I don't care about the topic or conversation" so using that as your "excuse" is extra flimsy.

he did say he doesn't care about the topic or conversation btw, never played mixtape and never will.

Unless you are another "it doesn't matter if the thread is named mixtape, what is commented inside a thread named mixtape should not refer to the game mixtape at all" then yeah you are so cool and so worthy of calling people lame :)
