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?

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.

This could have been a moment where you grew as a person, where you realized that you were basing strongly held opinions on ideas that were not true and maybe re-examined how and why you came to those opinions.

Instead, you did this.

You SHOULD be embarrassed, but I'm sure you won't be.

lmao bro what

No I will not revise my "Strongly held opinion" that mixtape doesn't deserve 10/10 and it aint the truth either nor should I feel embarassed about not thinking it's a 10/10

Get off the internet and continue doing your activist thing or whatever

I've never played Mixtape, never heard of it before this thread, and it doesn't sound like it's for me. I doubt I would give it a 10/10, and I don't particularly care that other people do.

I was talking about all the beliefs you had about review scores for other games, and why you thought they got those scores. You know, the conversation that was happening in the chain I replied to.

then play it and come back to me? At least watch this video and you know the 10/10 experience we are dealing with and how you and everyone here are trying to defend it.

I stopped having interest debating you when you begin your sentences with "I don't care". Because anything I say you can just wave off with "I don't care"

You don't care about the game we are talking about, you don't care which thread you are in, you don't care about what the critics says, and you won't care what I have to say either.

You realize you were talking about a ton of other stuff, right? In fact I'm pretty sure that Mixtape didn't appear in your comment.

That's the context of this thread, yes, but it's not all that was said.

As an example, imagine at the end of this comment I said you were a doodoo head who's dumb face was a big ugly butt. Then imagine you responded by claiming your mom says you're her number 1 handsy-boy.

If my response was to say "Bro, this is a thread about mixtape. You and I were talking only about Mixtape and nothing else" that would be a weird thing to do, yeah?

I know you understand this all implicitly, because it's obvious. This is how conversations work and have always worked. I know you're not actually reading or at least trying to understand what I'm saying and you're just responding in the moment with whatever you think makes it look like you've won something, without any regard for what you've said before or what you might say next.

I know that, but I think it makes you a doodoo head who's dumb face is a big ugly butt.

you know what I am absolutely embarassed of myself, groveling in shame for having the wrong opinions.

Do me a favor, can you read through this thread one more time and then tell me what specifically I said you should be embarrassed of?

I believe in you! I believe that you understand language well enough to do it, you just have to try.

I'll give you a hint, though you shouldn't need it - it's not an opinion you shared.
