Why was the reaction to Dustborn so negative?They just wanted to make a nice game and share it with everyone
Why are you obsessed with this game
>>722850790There are little-to-no devs in this industry who do it for the love of the gameBlood's in the water, the money's gone and the go-to scapegoats are non-existant death threats.Just take sollace that their markings and ideas will be wiped away as it is with all things through the passage of time and human.
>>722850790>Why was the reaction to Dustborn so negative?Because it was woke-opinionated propaganda-piece the development of which was largely publicly funded through government grants, which ended up glorifying cancel-culture through innate parts of its core game mechanics.
>>722850790>2024
>>722850790they cant be serious when you push political garbage so hard you know there will be lots of criticism
>Norwegian taxpayer money paid for this game to be made>Norwegian taxpayer money paid for this to be shown at several game shows prior to launchgrim
>>722850790>game designed to scam the maximum amount of government grants and NGO money>walked out of it making a lot of money>/v/ is still seething about the game a year laterHe won. Literally.
>>722853724>It's not heckin politics! Trans rights and critical race theory are just basic human decency and common sense
>>722853748US government also funded it
>>722850790Kek. Isn't this the game that had a "triggered" button or something ridiculous like that?
>>722850790Maybe because the game was shit
Ragnar began taking crazy pills back in the 00s and he never stopped.
>>722850790>hate and threatsThey all say that and there is literally zero proof ever provided. Xitter posts with anime profile pictures clowing on you because you made a dogshit product bordering on parody of itself that nobody wants is not harassment. These fuckers want to make mockery and ridicule illegal.
Feigning ignorance of why your shit game flopped is peak faggot behavior. You know exactly what happened and why.
>>722850790A lot of people in Europe are politically clueless when it comes to the US. I was an exchange student in Germany before the pandemic. During the BLM protests, my friends from Germany literally thought the police were gunning down protesters in the streets execution-style by the hundreds. It's confusing why they'd make media about a political situation they no nothing about and act surprised when people call out there bullshit.
>>722850790>brutal launchwasn't the game relatively successful? and all their development costs got covered by taxpayer kronen, so it's not like they have to worry about their livelyhood
>NOOOOOOO EVERYONE HATED MY OBNOXIOUS PROPAGANDA NOOOOO I'M GOING TO QUIT VIDEOGAMES FOREVER
>>722850952If you played the game you would know that your words have power and you shouldn't use it to silence others (unless they're white)
>eurocuck game trying to lecture the US about le orange presidentdaaaamn and it wasn't a hit? I've heard that people love being lectured by forigners about their own country.
>>722854395Europeans are several magnitudes dumber than Americans
>one of the leading figures in the Norwegian game industry>30 years game dev experienceand thats his magnum opus?
>>722850790>create a racist hateful anti-white propaganda game>people dont like itIM BEING OPPRESSED HELP ME DEVS ARE BEING ATTACKED HELP ME NOW!!!!1!
>>722850790>Caught off guard
>>722854192Games are supposed to be fun and challenging. This shit was activism with a video game coat of paint.
>>722854024Pedophile lives Matter
>>722850790Should get enriched with acid in his face.
>>722854675There's a reason why the US and Japan (and I guess China now) are the only relevant videogame industries.
>>722850790Who was Dustborn made for?
>>722850790It’s the avatar of Poe’s law.Without knowing the devs were 100% sincere, it’s completely impossible to distinguish it from a parody.
>>722854395>no nothing about>call out there bullshit>>722854553>lectured by forigners about their own countryWhy is this thread filled with ESL pretending to be offended Yanks?
“I don’t get it. Telling gamers to suck nigger dick isn’t working?”
>>722853748>tfw I worked in Norway for a few years so my taxes helped pay for thisI feel dirty, even more than them using it to shelter niggers and mudslimes.
>>722854395The media in Yurop, even more so in Western Europe is pozzed beyond human comprehension, every single media works for the system because it has to be approved by the system and unlike in America there is no 1st ammendment, so there is no alternative source of information in the native languages, there is no Candace Owens or Tucker Carlson presenting retarded theories to counter the narrative because they'd be in legal trouble. The German government literally goes after twitch streamers, streaming there requires, I shit you not, a license, and guess who can get one and who gets told to get fucked and fined for "illegal streaming".
>>722855279>The German government literally goes after twitch streamers, streaming there requires, I shit you not, a license, and guess who can get one and who gets told to get fucked and fined for "illegal streaming".Was it better under Hitler?
>>722854395>A lot of people in Europe are politically clueless when it comes to the US.True.They don't know what a world with a two party system is like, the role of the president, the power of the states.
>>722854162Its the game that had a song rhyming new porn with newborn
>>722855675
>>722854395The MSM blast propaganda in europe so they have no clue what is true and what is false.
>>722850952>anon is hovering over the catalog 24/7 so he can make this comment whenever people make fun of one of the countless woke failures This hurts you.
>>722850790Almost hard to believe the sophisticated scandinavians made such a horrible game
>>722850790>worried for the future of the industrylolThe industry will be fine as soon as westacucks get laid off/acquired by Arabs.
>>722850790>They just wanted to make a nice gameNo, they didn’t. But i suppose Ragnar has to lie now. How poetic. This is what he actually wanted the game to be. >We discussed it today, actually. How we feel powerless. We are working on a game, which will be a very angry, political game. Unfortunately, I read the news from the moment I wake up and get angrier and angrier as the day goes on. I would go on a demonstration train for human rights. For social justice. Because everything I feel is under attack, from Trump, from the right, from the Republicans.Straight from the mouth of Ragnar Tørquist
>>722850790it was only negative in circles obsessed with nonsense like this place, nobody else gave a fuck and that's why it flopped.
>>722854395>friends from Germany literally thought the police were gunning down protesters in the streets execution-style by the hundredsWhere the fuck would they even get that? Is their media saying that or are they so fucking retarded that they have the minds of medieval peasants that will just accept whatever rumor that the fucking barmaids tell them?
>>722857292Why are you making up scenarios in order to try and feel superior?
>>722850790>make game literally no one wants, or even jokingly asked for>don't play test it to see if there's an audience for your slop>get shocked when the game fucking bombs because no one wanted to play it
>>72285426299% of the time it's just a couple random DMs like "haha lol kill urself xdd 4 maeking bad gem" and then devs/publishers use that as free marketing.Never any credible threats, rarely anything serious.Hell, even if they ARE being serious, who gives a fuck? What are they gonna do, make you kill yourself?Besides, if you make divisive media, you're bound to piss people off and get them mad at you, the devs 100% expected this.I mean fuck, the game was funded by like 8 separate governments of separate nations, it's not like the game lost money. This guy's probably just mad there wasn't some giant outcry of love and passion for the damn thing.>>722850790>they had to include a picture of him being sadLOLAlso I'm too lazy to check if this is even real, but I believe it.
>>722854943here is your (you) nigga
I didn't do anything though?
>>722850790Retards like you who support these trashy woke games are the reason why games are so shitty now
>>722856581>they have no clue what is true and what is false.Don't make too many excuses for them. You have to be at least a bit willfully ignorant to actually believe that trash.
>>722850790Did this retard play his own game? It was an embarrassment - even as a wokie.
Probably because the game was a negative experience.
>>722853724it worked for bg3
>>722850790>make game that appeals to a very, very small amount of people>shove it in the channels to show it off to the people who will absolutely not like your game>reaction is negativeHow could this happen?
>>722854024What people do in their private bedroom is none of my business, but I think trying to classify them as a new gender is ridiculous. At best it's good as a mental illness label you can use to easily know which people to avoid, but I don't think the people advocating for transvestite rights have that purpose in mind.
No where on the planet has this game been discussed more than on /v/.
>>722861121>What people do in their private bedroom is none of my businessSo it's ok to rape kids then?
>>722861236As long as you don't tell me about it 24/7 for a whole month while I'm at work.
>>722850790>They just wanted to make a nice game and share it with everyoneNo they didn't.
>>722850952Because I can't get over the fact that other characters can be telling you something and you can interrupt by yelling at them, disregarding their arguments and making them feel bad so you can get your way and this was added to the game and appears to be something you're meant to do.
>>722850790>ginger stabs pig in mutt metro on video>allegedly killerwhile>woketard has received hate and death threats, not allegedlyshoot the jewrnos
>>722861332>Our team is predominantly white and male. That's unfortunate.Why is it unfortunate? And why would you shit on your self and your own team like that. No wonder the game flopped, they don't even like each other let alone their audience.It makes me legitimately upset that people like this are the ones getting called social justice warriors and activists when they're actually just openly racist and maliciously minded.Which would be completely fine if they owned it instead of trying to play both sides.
>>722850790>Caught us completely off guardWhen you live inside a woke echo chamber, this is what happens.You've been telling others to touch grass, but in reality it's you who needed to go outside
>>722850952Fuck up kike
>>722850790That article is so much funnier to read after the previous one
>>722853221But that's the thing, this game was made with love. It's not a cookie-cutter AAA movie game.But it's so on-the-nose that it comes across almost as parody.
>>722850790why are /pol/ so aware of every shit game, and play them, and I never hear about them at all?
>>722850790Their focus was more on culture than a fun game
yeah i can't make fun of this one. it's too minor of a failure and i can't bring myself to really shit on a small indie dev. plus like >>722861216 said, this is really more /v/'s autism being totally out of control.Concord got what it deserved. Suicide Squad got what it deserved, too. So did Veilguard. Fairgames will get what it deserves unless Sony pulls the plug on that inevitable failure. big expensive AAAA shitshows deserve to be laughed at, especially when they're clearly aiming for a mOdErN aUdIeNcE that does not exist.
>>722850790Even if you ignore all the woke shit, the game is trash on a mechanical level. There’s literally no defending it. It feels bad to play.
>>722854626Holy mutt cope
>>722861717>we can affordYeah because you're paid by the government who gets taxes through force. The shamelessness.
>>722857763you're weird.
>>722861809The OP wants interaction, the game isn't actually related to the topic at all. It's unlikely they even played it.
>>722861807>made with loveI recall there was an interview before launch where the creator explicitly stated he made the game to try and influence at least one person to vote against Trump in 2024. He also said he was obsessed with American politics and spent countless hours on Twitter reading about it because European local politics were more boring by comparison. The guy is a loser.
>>722861976We're just equal opportunity over here. Plus this game was shown at some Japanese game show right next to all the half-naked underaged gacha girls, that's not an indie, those are people trying to pierce something.
>>722862236The obsession non-Americans have with America is something I will never ever get used to. I legitimately can't imagine how that occupies their mind so much. How the fuck are you thinking about America while not even being here, and why. It's so fucking bizarre and deranged.
>>722862236And hateful! Unlike me. That's why they all need psychiatric care.
>>722854395Lol. Its yhe complete opposite. People from the EU are more politically intelligent than the US which is shy they've actually got rights.
>>722862056Go make another Starship Troopers you inbred fuck
>>722854262That's one fucked up looking dog
>>722862646It's because American propaganda is ubiquitous everywhere.
>>722850952We're the dustbornWe're the new porn
>722862767bait used to be believable
>>722863008meant for >>722862767
>>722850790it's good that they took a visual novel and tried to do slightly more with it but the story was horrendous and the agenda that the writers and developers had with the game is malevolent. it's ironic that those who preach tolerance are so militantly discriminatory against people who are minding their own business, almost as ironic as the main character of the game being an incredibly terrible, evil mega villain. it was obvious she was supposed to be a justice warrior but couldn't be further from the truth. games like these are pure propaganda and do not deserve a voice
>>722850790How little understanding of the industry, and the culture of gaming do you have to have to be "caught off guard" by this abomination?This was clearly made by a team of people whose only experience in games was The Sims and Monopoly Go.
>>722850790To what, now?
>>722850790>caught us completely off guardDid it really though? I know california exists in a bubble of thought but I find it hard to believe they weren't at least aware that they were making the most controversial game of all time.
>>722862236That confirms my point. He's an auteur who made the game he wanted to make.
The story is bad but the game is also bad irrelevant of the story.In fact it's probably worse for you if you do like the story because the choose-your-own-adventure aspects of the game are dull beyond belief and serve no purpose. Oh wow I can move from this side of the room to the other and press A to talk to this other character. This would have been better as a YouTube short film.
>>722862646America is the sole superpower in the world, of course other countries are obsessed. Their fate hangs in the balance.
>>722850952>Forget about my side's failures!No.
>It caught us completely off guardi'm sure this cuck keeps telling himself that every day.
>>722862646Learning WW2 history, more specifically the whole "America singlehandidly FUELING the British and Russian war effort singlehandidly", should reveal some light on this question. Whatever America does, the rest of the world reacts to, and it's not the other way around. Show me any other nation that could build the Manhatten Project, carrier strike groups as half as powerful as the Big Blue Fleet, or aircraft as complicated as the B-29 (pressurized cabin, mechanical computing for the gunners, and the sheer range and payload options available to it), I will wait.
>>722862646Because there is a world government and anything that happens in America is happening or going to happen everywhere
>>722863971kek
>>722862767>which is why they've actually got rights.The most laughable thing I've read all day.Keep up the Eurocope.
>>722863971
>>722858216No one is trying, it's just facts.
It still saddens me that the man who made The Longest Journey went on to become...this. God damn. I rate TLJ as my all time favorite adventure game.

>>722862236not just one person, it was made as propaganda against trump but they couldnt release it in time
>>722850790I am SHOCKED
>>722850952Alright I'm seeing this same post right at the start of any thread related to Concord or Dragon Age Veilguard or Dustborn or others. This has to be the same guy.
>>722864508only a marx cultist would think that
>>722850952Note how he can't come up with a honest reply. Seriously, WHY, anon?
>>722860707BG3 provided hot chicks and the ability to kill subhuman NPCs along with the progressive shit. I say it's not really woke because woke is suffocating and can abide only itself but whatever it is, it's a better answer than propaganda that does nothing but scold you. The BG name didn't hurt either.
>>722857292Why are you obsessed with this anon?
>>722865181It's amusing how dogshit it is
>>722853748Even at TGS: Nobody cared.
>>722862869That's not a dog, it's an elephant.
>>722854481>>wasn't the game relatively successful?
>>722861976Wots Fair games?
>>722865660Looking at this gives me second hand pain.
>>722858216Isn't that exactly what the person he replied to was doing? OP made one thread and he assumes he's obsessed.
>>722850952I have nothing else, leave me alone.
>>722865820One thread might be enough to warrant calling someone obsessed.I mean the context matters here. Going out of your way to bring attention to a dead game everyone else already forgot. There's something lingering there that has festered enough to cause OP to reach out and talk about it here. A little queer at the very least.
>>722860707Not him but Bald'N'Gay 3 had several advantages:>Existing popular IPYou can feed A LOT of shit to the normalfag audience if it's convinced it's consuming content from a good IP. Star Wards proved it, Dune proved it, DnD proves it.>Dating sim trashEven if your women are ugly manfaced wide-shouldered looking dykes like that tiefling sperg, or repugnant whores like Shart, as long as they're not Concord levels of ugly and can be """romanced""", affection-starved normalfags will eat it up.>Advertisement luckSometimes when you tell a lie enough times to a gullible enough audience - the audience will end up believing the lie regardless of how absurd it is. BG3 being a good CRPG is one of those lies. But if everyone is convinced it's true - they will say it's true regardless of their personal opinions.
>>722866209they probably thought the cutesy robot would get it to sell in japan or somethingimagine being that retarded faggot
>>722866209https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIrDpvl0Xvk
>>722850790Because Trump won, I am sure if the game was pro-Trump it would have sold gangbusters.
>>722866534The superpowered racial slurs would certainly have had more impact on an audience.
>>722850790They saw the trailer and then had the natural reaction of mocking it instead of setting aside the time to play it
>>722850952it's the game that exemplifies everything wrong with the current gaming industry and its obsession with shoehorning real-world sociopolitics in gamesit's so spot-on that some people legit thought this was a right-winger game trying to parody the left, and the fact that it was unironic just makes it more amusing
>>722850790I'd prefer they make good games rather than nice games.
>>722866534Even if Trump didn't win, I don't think the game would've done that well. Even the wokiest of "woke" games tend to have SOME gameplay worth the littlest bit of a damn (minus shit like VNs and whatever).Dustborn was effectively just one of those free games on Itch about racial/sexual identity, but NOT free and not on Itch.I think if Kamala had won, the game might've won a few big awards for bravery or whatever, and you'd get some people buying it out of curiosity, but that would be the limit. The game just doesn't have enough appeal to get it anywhere. No gameplay worth mentioning, no hugely-marketed bear sex, nothing, just some "white man bad" and "capitalism bad", and that's it. Would've done well on Itch as some low-budget indie title, not some game funded by 10 different nations and crapped out on Steam.
>>722850952Why are devs obsessed with gay nigger nonsense?
>>722854481It maybe sold 1000 copies
>>722868673>characters all have ego problems and must play a guitar of some kind What is that stupid thing the cow is holding even
>>722850790This shit game is on sale for 8$ on PSN.Should i buy it to torture myself? Im tempted to test it.
>>722866364It just shows how better and easier is to contaminate a known IP or setting than to create a new one from scratch.
>>722850952It's pure undistilled libtard cringekino. It's so beyond any sane person's attempt at taking it seriously. Yet it plays the insanity completely straight

>>722866209It's sad, but he knows why nobody liked his game.
>>722850790This game is just further proof that outside of virtue signaling fagspace social medias like bluesky or certain reddits even this games intended audiance dosent actually like stuff like this all that much in private.

>>722871283>BlueskyI use Bluesky and I never saw anybody ever defend or even mention this game. Why do you guys always bring Bluesky into these conversations?
NEW BORN PORN!
>>722870842thanks
>>722859089real or not, using the actions of some random schizo to tar every critic with the same brush is the lowest of the low. these sjw kikes always prattle on about how "not all ngers" and "not all women" are bad, then they go and accuse every single dissident of being "bigoted" by quoting fake death threats from their sockpuppets

>>722871502It's just so laughably bad. Poe's law of parody.
>>722858140A fellow europoor but not from germany:my country is the same, medias very heavily imply things and make no effort clarifying things and the way things are shown and explained, it's very difficult to not make assumption like what the german anon said.Another thing that get me is how even in totally unrelated piece of news, they do feel the need to remind you that immigration good, russia and china bad, and how (((they))) are doing nothing wrong.
>>722863971Impressive, it's like there's a forcefield set to repel asians and nothing else.
>>722871710To be fair it was barely a thing when this game came.out. it got huge like right after. Also what are you hanging out on bluesky for you little faggot?
>>722871710He used bluesky as a term to design a place where people who would ask for this kind of game hang out.He could have used resetera for the same result.
>>722872681Nta, but saying "it got huge" is a big exaggeration. Bluesky is barely limping along.
>>722850790>rhymes new porn with new bornno sane individual does this
>>722873092They also rhyme "born" with "born"
I genuinely don't understand why /v/troons seethe about this game 24/7
>>722872774Nobody asks for anything like this. Assholes convince retards to budget for games like these and then fools make them and put them out into the world, content they've made it a better place. Unrelated cretins may file it under appropriate media but it's not their thing and doesn't make them look good and that's what they care about. If it's a big deal with a perverted IP they'll get dopamine for talking about it online but tiny projects vanish like a fart in a sewer.
>>722872792Also a fair point but you get what i mean.

>>722850952it almost white genocided us
>>722873962OIL?
>>722850790>Why was the reaction to Dustborn so negative?Devs fault for hiring stupid ass "professionals" that tell them what the trend is. Those so called "professionals" are often companies like Sweet Baby Inc. And they will LIE to promote wokeness in their games instead of actually telling the comapnies what gamers want. They'll tell these companies that they have to cater to the "MODERN AUDIENCE". So.... comapnies end up making some of the wokiest dogshit out there that gamers do NOT want. And there you go. That's why the reaction was negative and the sales were shit.
>>722863971>the title in katakanareally gay
>>722850952Stop trying to call it a game
>>722854395I had a similar experience as an Australian. People here genuinely thought tens of thousands of unarmed black people (women and children included) were gunned down by the cops yearly for no reason and that the riots involved cops gunning crowds down in the thousands. Fucking bizarre.
>>722874057CRUDE OIL
>>722874121The devs didn't hire nor need to consult propagandists. They are part of the same movement >>722861332
>>722850790If I were them and I wanted to make a game that people would enjoy I would have picked an entirely different subject matter. I really don't want to believe Nordic people are this stupid, but they're making it really hard to do so. They say Norway is one of the happiness nations on earth. Perhaps they're happy because they are dullards. It doesn't take much to make a stupid person happy.
>>722862709yeah pozzed ideology is mental illness.
>>722862767>shy they've actually got rightsthe right to be displaced by Middle Eastern and African invaders. The right to be beheaded in the street or having acid thrown in their face for criticising Islam.
>>722850790I can't understand why would a bunch of Norwegian devs want to waste their time making a game taking place in the US, but with an alternate timeline. There's no novelty in that.
>>722866364Forgot the most important part: Chinese funded and astroturfed by the chinese.
>>722874731I don't understand why he thought that trying to make a game about another country's politics would go well. You don't even live on the same fucking continent, how would you know enough to pull it off?
>>722875160Excuse me, he spent a LOT of time on twitter in 2016-2018, I think that makes him quite the expert on America.
>>722850952Grifters needed something to use for their latest grift, which is why their audience became outraged about it.

what a fucking shame , in the past Ragnar Tornquist was a renowned and respected game developper, with the longest journey a popular point n click, worked on anarchy online, a beloved pre wow era mmorpg by funcom all in the 00s, what a goddamn downfall !
If it weren't negatively talked about, then it would just go ignored like 10,000 other games on Steam. Being ignored is worse. That means there's 10,000 games on Steam worse than Dustborn.
>>722850790WE ARE THE DUSTBORN VAUSH SHOWED US HIS PORNNO THOSE ARE SHORT STACKSTHEY ARE NOT NEWBORNS
>>722854395They were making fun of you through hyperbole
>>722863971>sandwiched between two anime girl gamesPottery, it rhymes or something.
>>722850790>>caught us completely off guardYeah, I'd have to imagine your heads were at least 3 solid feet up your own fucking asses to think anything else was going to happen when that dogshit came out. Game development is worth pursuing, but not for (((you))), faggot.
>>722850790Ragnar is the typical self-hating white guy whose real reason for liking multiculturalism is simply that he is bored of his own culture and finds other cultures entertaining. He only cares for his own amusement.That is why these cunts ONLY understand the most surface level shit about other cultures, such as food and clothing. Its why talking about limiting immigration almost immediately brings up a HURR FOOD argument.Their understanding and interest in these cultures is as deep as a food metaphor.Because Ragnar doesn't want to understand these cultures.He just wants to be entertained.
N-no...it can't be...dustborn was successful this entire time...
>>722863971Like Moses parting the sea.
>>722850790Funny how they're interviewing the devs about the social media backlash to Dustborn, but not Harry Potter.
>>722879171>nips thought it was some kind of ironic american kusoge
>>722850790I thought in the thumbnail it was jabroni mike lol
>>722871710I've never seen a normal, well-adjusted bluesky user
>>722879171>NGO money paid off a magazine outlet... againWHOA!! BELIEVE ALL ARTICLES, FOLX!
>>722869468>creators blatantly hate white people>the girl who has white marks because of vitiligo is the traitorThat sounds so fucking funny. Genuinely spiteful to people who suffer from vitiligo.
>>722850790>caught us completely off guardlmao
>>722879384Nah, it was just the usual money under the table. Soros fun-bux to grease the wheels on globalist agendas, as usual.
>>722869106Quite so. If BG3 was some "Cuckolds and Bearfuckers: The Origins of Mystic Faggotry", taking place in a fresh setting and released by an unknown studio, I highly doubt it would succeed. Although I can still scarcely understand how a studio as pathetic as Larian even managed to become a household name amongst CRPGays. At least Owlcuck had known IP to bounce off of.
>>722850952Why aren't you?
>>722854481Propaganda that only reaches 10 people (who watch it ironically) is failed propaganda lol
>>722879171Why does he talk like a redditor
>>722868673i would let the black girl have sex with me if she asked
>>722850952because it was a cia psyop funded with hundred of millions of tax payer dollars. when you see glowie shit you call it out and you make sure people know it.
>>722866364>>Existing popular IPfucking lmao
>>722865192>hot chicks
Do you guys think Ragnar is a hack, or was he a talented developer at one point?
>>722882525He was. He just got twitter brained and forgot he wasn't actually American.
>>722863971these people are as out-of-touch as those that provide them funding. imagine bringing a game like this to Japan and thinking anyone will see it as anything other than flimsy western kusoge, not even to mention any culture war stuff. the social bubble these people maintain leads them to truly believe they are making something that appeals to people, either that or they're just narcissists
>>722850790still though the official cosplayer they hired is really fucken hot
>>722850952Catastrophic failures like this and Concord aught to have case studies and documentaries.
>>722866209This is photoshopped, right? It literally says kuso ge- (shit game) as the subtitle of it.
>>722879171Seeing asian countries getting bought by globohomo corpos is truly sad
>>722883104no bro its real the jp printing company pulled a joke on them
>>722883182Right
>>722850790>Why was the reaction to Dustborn so negative?
>>722883104No, Neil Druckmann was really there
>>722883261Here is a higher quality image. >>722863971No wonder the guy seemed kinda edited, though almost passable, I have to admit.
>>722883104All you had to do was scroll up.
>>722883378>No wonder the guy seemed kinda editedWhoa, the meme image of Neil Druckman was photoshopped?
>>722850790It was too out thereIt's actually art. All the woke shit is just an aesthetic, it's only the outer layer. None of the content matches with the woke worldview at all, it's absolutely nonsensical and paints all the social activists as incompetent evil sociopaths who everyone in-universe is totally justified in discriminating against.It's a game about American social justice culture for underprivileged minority groups, but made by the most privileged people on the other side of the planet, rich Norwegians. It doesn't make any sense, it's a fan fiction about real people's real struggle which you misunderstand because you have never experienced it but you write about like you have, while living in total safety and comfort sipping wine in your mansion paid by tax payer money. It's like if Dante's Inferno was about MLK and it was a game and Dante had only learned about the US from movies. The game world is created through such a warped lense that the lense itself is a piece of art. The only thing the game says anything about is its creators, it's incredibly self-indulgent.The game is genuine outsider art and worth playing if you can look past it being "woke". This goes way deeper than that.
Hi.You just read a cool 4chan thread, from The Cool Autistic Gamer 774.
>>722850952Leftists when they have the wind at their sails:>If you aren't constantly declaring your political stances you're part of the problemLeftists when the tide is turning against them:>Why are you so obsessed?
>>722885994They depend on you not remembering.
>>722883903>It's like if Dante's Inferno was about MLK and it was a game and Dante had only learned about the US from movies.Your analysis and writing makes this sound much more interesting than it really is. Ignorance is commonplace.
>>722850790>"This will evaporate a lot of money that doesn't belong to me, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make."
We're the DustbornWe're like newbornIt's like airborneIt's...like being bornIt's born born
>>722869660Sonic 06 is still mocked to this day despite it being twenty years old and you’re having a mental breakdown because your precious wokeslop is being made fun of a year later.Sonic the Hedgehog fans have thicker skin than you.Be ashamed
>>722850790I'll never understand why does a Norwegian care so much about US history and politics. Isnt this cultural appropriation.
>>722879171literally nobody in Japan takes Famitsu or any major gaming outlets for that matter seriously.
>>722879171He sounds mad.
>>722854863the dustbin
>>722850952Why are you responding?
>>722854395>my friends from Germany literally thought the police were gunning down protesters in the streets execution-style by the hundreds.>by the hundredsCan't tell if exaggeration...
>>722883104check the QR Code
>>722850790Because said Norwegian was just trying to grift money from his government. He made it about the politics of a country he doesn't live and was as sublet as a lawnmower. Imagine if I made a game about how bad Whaling is. I'm sure his people would hate me for it.
>>722862646America is the world's super power. When America sneezes the rest of the world gets pneumonia.
>>722850952I was a longest journey fan.
>>722863971>"I don't understand. Our game is for diverse modern audience, we're in Japan where everyone is diversely not a white man. But for some reason they're not gushing over my precious booth. It must be those pesky white men that are preventing them somehow."
>>722854162yes.
>>722850790>Why was the reaction to Dustborn so negative?when something is so hilariously bad, how can you not laugh at it?
>>722850790He looks jewish, explains everything.
>>722850790The game literally starts with an anti white song
>>722854262I believe it, because some leftists thought the game was making fun of them.
>>722850790Get woke go broke Hold the line Every concord and dustborn game needs to continue to flop Government paid propaganda pretending to be Vidya
>>722894645nta but it's truedont know about the rest of europe but the average college aged german thought the blm riots were peaceful protests
>>722850790>Ragnar Tornquist is the founder and CEO of Red Thread Games
>>722863971Too funny
>>722879171Isn't Famitsu's rating system kinda borked and you can basically not go lower than 12/13?
>>722895308The lowest it technically can go is 0, highest is 40. However, the lowest on record is 12 out of 40, which three games have received (Shura no Mon for PS1, Pachinko CR Daiku no Minamoto-San for GameBoy, and Pro Golfer Saru for Wii).The more general issue is that Famitsu has gotten more and more lax with giving out good scores, so Famitsu's ratings are largely meaningless, outside of the occasional 10/10/10/10 ratings.
>>722861809Because finding shit games is their enjoyment.>>722861976You do you, but the degree of crazy shit like mechanics for canceling people is hilarious.
>>722850790People are still talking about this shit?
>>722862236It also means the game is a possible violation of campaign finance laws, considering the various government grants used to fund the game, as well as MS.
>>722850790>20. august
>>722863083They should have made a sequel where they lost the election, and take up guns and accidentally shoot refugees.
>>722863114That's the thing. Go look at Ragnar's track record. He's been around for a long ass time, but the past 20 years, he's been in a super insulated bubble.
>>722850952Because you weren't.
>>722861717>there's a wider and more diverse audience out therewhy didn't that audience buy the game then?i mean, even if me, a racist motherfucker, sayis the game is shit because of ugly niggers, there would still be a diverse and wider audience that WOULD buy the game despite my ramblings?so why didn't this game sell then?
>>722850790They rhymed newborn with porn
>>722850952>>722861976It has a goodam scream "you're racist" button. They made a game mechanic out of canceling people.
>>722895308>>722896514Right. Famitsu's score theory is such that 12 is a literal kusogame, as described in the review. Lower than that, like say Deal or No Deal DS, or Spice World playstation, and they don't bother reviewing it.
>>722850790I don't consider any industry veteran to be untouchable or above criticism, eat shit Ragnar Tornquist. Just quit your job, you know what you did and you can leave the industry because of it. I'm saying that whilst having played The Longest Journey back in the day, I don't give a fuck about him if this is how he wanted to be known in the end. He would be smart to just walk away from the industry silently and go pick another profession.
>>722879171My teacher in HS once told us that teachers often bump scores to an 80 or A because they like you enough. So yeah it's not because you were actually smart, it just means you seemed more punctual in their eyes. The grade is entirely superfical.
>>722850790They literally rhymed porn with newborn.The fuck did they think was gonna happen?
>>722897276english isn't their first language
>>722894843I'm lazy, what does it say?
>>722879171i love this, because it's highlights what's been going on in the industry for years now>make a shit game>pour milions into marketing>cherry pick reviews (that you paid for)>"it's a 10/10, incels mad!">game shits the bed>"how could this happen?! / it's the incels fault!">(optional) memoryhole everything
>>722850790>They just wanted to make a nice game and share it with everyone
>>722879171I don't remember the Famitsu article talking about politics at all. I wonder how closely it's localized.
>>722879171It's really odd that he went to this level of coping to have thought that if "X demographic enjoyed it" then I won!What the fuck is wrong with him? why does he double down on this shitty game? at least I never gave a shit about what Famitsu thinks of games, but I'm a minority of /v/ I suppose. His ego and pride were damaged greatly over this obviously. To go to such an extent to get an own over all of those people who gave him negative reviews on steam that all got rated as most helpful and plenty of negative reviews that were refreshing because they were brutally honest about how it's actually not a good game even if you were to remove the political aspect of it. Which is kind of hard considering it's very in your face.
>>722898338>why does he double down on this shitty game?because fundamentalists can't ever admit they're wrong. it's impossible for them to do so.
>>722879171>Famitsu>validationDude's still living in 2006 I see.
>>722850952>Go woke go broke- ACK>Chuds Lost>WAIT WAIT WAIT! NO!!! RENT-FREE! RENT-FREE! STOP!!We will continue to laugh at you.
you want your game to be succesful? then make incels and neckbeards your audience you retarded fuck
>>722850790>Why was the reaction to Dustborn so negative?it was a bad game and a propaganda game and it was bad at being propaganda at that.>They just wanted to make a nice game and share it with everyonewell they didn't make a nice game and then didn't actually make it appealing at all so that nobody would even WANT to try it. They got sucked into one of those forced positivity echo chambers and deluded themselves into thinking the oats they were sowing to swine were actually pearls.
>>722895081Same.
>>722879171Isn't anything less than 36/40 basically complete shit? Famitsu's more lax than IGN.
>>722897354Leads to the infamous "House of Air" music vid.
>>722850790>They just wanted to make a nice gamewell they forgot the gameplay
>>722850790Dude made a game so woke it's hard to tell if it's a parody or notAnd after looking up his social media, it's clearly NOT a parody, he's just a deranged leftist who is too involved in American politics despite being Norwegian
>>722850952the biggest flop in modern gaming it will be meme'd on forever
>>722902626Not even close.
>>722850790>Why was the reaction to Dustborn so negative?the game was funded by norwegian government which is emblematic of state funded leftoid propaganda being shoveled into male spaces like gaming.
>>722873962>arabs piss their oil money away on vanity projects and shitting on metal boxes full of slavs>norse throw their wealth on housing invaders and propping up shitty games that no one wantsMaybe that one south american country who struck oil recently will waste their newly found wealth on signed footballs providing someone else hasn't annexed them already.
>>722861976You should kill yourself
>>722850790It's literally impossible to work in gamedev for 30 years, then look at Dustborn and think it have a right to exist.
>>722902603>Dude made a game so woke it's hard to tell if it's a parody or notThis. The actual designated audience for this are halfway convinced it's an alt-right parody of "woke" games because the characters are so unlikable and you have the power to cancel and gaslight people. That's definitely just wishful thinking but it goes to show how horribly this game missed the mark.
>>722850790Notice how nonchalant he is about it. That's because the game was funded by government money and this guy probably took so much of it for his own paychecks that he doesn't care whether the game was profitable or not.
>>722850790No one wanted to play Mudborn made by a basedboy who is probably driving an e-car.
>>722850790>no target audience in mind>poor reception to announcement>years of echo chamber development with no feedback>surprised about commercial failurehes lying, like all kikes hes just stealing publisher money to make propagandahe knew it will fail, he dosnt care, he got paid and got to make his kike propaganda game
>>722853748I wish it was just norwegians'sI'm playing Absolum which has great gameplay but it was funded by the EU and it reeks of "inclusion"
>>722850790He'd have to be extremely autistic to be so tone deaf he couldn't see that reception coming.
>>722850790Who was the game meant to appeal to? Besides the yuro arts and gaming money grant people.
>>722904485Those people don't play video games anyway, so it's even less than that abysmal pool of potential customers. I think only meme playthroughs and the two testers or whatever it had played Mudborn.
>>722863971Carol won.
>>722879171>famitsu>real gamersFamitsu is japanese version of Kotaku, its mostly known for doing paid reviews.
>>722898338>What the fuck is wrong with him? why does he double down on this shitty game?Gamedevs are typically mentally ill in some manner like all artists and it's exacerbated when said game is usually something that they've worked on for months, if not a year+. Evidence: see /agdg/ or any /v/ dev thread
>>722850790https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fC2oke5MFg
>The entire goal of the game is use language to lie, cheat and manipulate to force your ideology on other peopleDustborn was surprisingly honest for a leftist game
>>722871603I choose to believe you're black.
can't wait for Expleened (Storymode)'s video on this game
>>722850790cause people are fucking dumb. It was clear from the first second that we are playing a bad person who is bound to have a character arc. Instead people thought it was unselfaware propaganda. Also game wasn't that good, but that's irrelevant, cause something like GTA ain't that good either. Dustborn is kinda based for being what it is, very Drakengard/Fear and Hunger/Black Souls core. Entirely unapalogetic auteur piece.
>>722906005>a bad person who is bound to have a character arcWhen did that happen?
>>722861717>we can affordyeah because you get funding from the US government, the EU and the norwegian government, and other organizations
>>722866209turns out asians don't give a fuck about western moralfaggotry/virtue-signaling, they just want a game to have fun in or goon tothis retard had to learn this the hard way, many such cases!
>>722906056yesterday in his dreams
>>722863971Nextu guy!
>>722862236So these are the true grifters?
