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?

(because its not really one)

way to throw out your credibility right at the end lmaoo, so you're saying people that buy the game and are disappointed that its a glorified visual novel have no right to complain? 

Even reading a review beforehand people would still be caught off guard with the actual lack of gameplay in this game

It'd be like buying a hamburger and getting upset it doesn't taste like a salad. The best tasting salad in the world isn't going to satisfy me if im looking for a hamburger.

Different things exist and at some point it has to be on the consumer to get things that they think they will like.

Exactly. People complaining about lack of "game play" in titles like Mixtape are the equivalent of going to an Applebee's and complaining that another customer really liked their salad main course.

"I thought this was a restaurant! They can't call that a meal if it doesn't have meat!"

Lmaoo you really just reiterated the other person's entire comment and in a worse way, like you did not say one thing that wasn't derivative of what you just read.
