With how corrupt the gaming industry is, what do you guys think the chances of Mixtape getting a nomination spot in the 2026 Game Awards are? Or, God forbid, they manage to snag a few awards?

Now I'm just waiting for Democrat politicians to start shilling for Mixtape too. But which one would be the most likely to do so? AOC, despite trying to get gamer cred and failing miserably, i.e. the livestream she had with Tim Walz, doesn't seem to be the type to want to play this game.

The Game Awards are in December—by that point, nobody on either side will even remember the game, and there's time for two or three other controversial games for journos to embarrass themselves over them. Unless they can keep the outrage ball rolling for 6 months, they aren't winning anything in any real category. Maybe Score and Music if Geoff is feeling particularly cheeky that day, but certainly not Best Independent Game. Recency bias is huge when it comes to the Dorito Pope awards.
That said, being a "big" Annapurna release usually guarantees at least one pity nomination spot, and it wouldn't surprise me if they tried to "gently persuade" Geoff & co. to force it into a couple extra categories.

It would be extremely funny if it won Innovation in Accessibility, though.

People are roasting this game for having "No choices" but that's just a fucking lie.

Due to Null's choice and player agency, he made the club house a based cool kids Nazi hang out spot.

TLOU2 was released on Father's Day in 2020, so it is possible to stretch the outrage ball for that long.
 
This game feels like it started after someone saw that "Everyone just living in the moment" meme and said, "What if this was interactive?!"


Automatically a better game since you play as a cat, nature's most based animal, instead of a lesbian they/them.
I saw a few comments on this game of people saying that it has less interactivity than a DVD menu.

lolz
So it's basically a Sony movie-game then? Mauler will love it.

We need to find the person who caused gaming to go "mainstream" and beat him to death with a solid gold brick that has a lemon wrapped around it.
Michael Bolton would make more sense for 1995.

I think they'll have clips of it or honorable mentions. But I think they know how much vitriol this sack of shit stirred up.
Doesn't matter though the game awards is just a giant advertisement no one should watch to begin with.
 
Imagine if David Cage gets involved on a sequel. And he brings Peter Molyneux. The entire thing would burn up and your console would fry.
 
Nobody lived this life. It does not exist. Even the Stand by Me type movies they obsess over don't do this. Not even Stranger fucking Things is this way.
I still can't get over just how ugly those characters are, both on the inside and outside. This whole game kinda feels like DeviantArt fanfiction.

Hey, at least they don't got DDLG e-girl blush
 
It's guaranteed. Mixtape will win awards. The event has as much credibility as the Oscars at this point. In the same way that Emilia Pérez got 13 Oscar nominations while being a cinematic abomination, TLOU 2 got 11 award nominations while winning 7 of them, including GOTY. Hell, it's gonna be in the indie bracket despite being backed by the GDP of a small country.
I want people to spread around and say
"Gollum is a better game than Mixtape".
Objective fact. Gollum doesn't have Mixtape's cringy dialogue and it has actual gameplay, horrible as it is. Strip the cutscenes from Mixtape and it has less than half an hour worth of player input.

Edit: Just for that extra bit of shitting on the awards, remember that they propped the fuck out of that worthless game Drunkman is making, "Intergalactic: The Bald Ugly Chick" or something.

Didn't the plot already leak and it was total ass? Not that I expect Druckman to make anything good, but it's gotta be extra ass for insiders to leak it that early like Wolverine.
