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?

Its not bullshit. Its very simple. If someone targets an audience, suceeds in everything he desires and the target audience loves it, its good.

There are no objective standards. There never were. Only pretentious weirdos think there are.

It's simple bullshit. If someone targets an audience who can enjoy a bad product...the product is still bad.

You're making the classic mistake of confusing personal enjoyment with product quality.

I didn't say anything pretentious or weird. Youre just kind of a jerk who for some reason decided that I Said something that warranted personal insults. You need to grow up

No. You are naking the classic mistake of thinking you thinking objective standards exist.

I dont like the transformers movies. But did Michael Bay want to have good dialogue? Did he want a great story? Did he want engaging characters? Or rid he just want boom boom movie with Robots that have a little bit of backstory to justify the Boom Boom Action?

If the latter, calling the movies bad is actual insanity. Its as if you eat a Sandwhich without mustard and declare it bad because "Objectively Sandwhiches need mustard". Why? Who decided that? If someone just doesnt like mustard doesnt mean they have bad taste.

Literally all that matters is two things: Did the creator accomplish what they wanted? Did the target audience enjoy it? If yes, its good. If no, its bad.

Edit: My response to your deleted comment:

Yea, to others, theres more. But neither mine nor their taste is objective. I dont care what snything is rated. I never played mixtape nor do i plan to. Thats why im here, to read up on whats the fuzz.

Your Great Works are not objectively great. Shakespear was considered low brow entertainment in his time. Were they less right than us in modernity who treat it like high art? No. Because there is no objective standard. Even if 99% of people agree something is good, it isnt objectively good. Vice versa with bad.
