This crap didn't even manage to reach 100 concurrent players.
I bet this studio won't last much longer.

Tch no way bro. I don’t believe it.

 

[TheStam]

You are partially right, they are the creators of the Longest Journey sequel, Dreamfall i think it was, very boring game in my opinion, i played the original a long time ago, it was a very good game for its time (1998 i think it was the first one) although the ending was dissapointing. Yes, it shows that there are political interests funding and being behind all of this, and still there are people who say that there is no agenda involved in the game industry.

Ah, I see. 1998, getting old over here thought it might have been 2008.

Never heard about that EU programme specifically funding "narrative" gaming and apparently funding up to 70% of budget. What could go wrong?

 

[ConkerTheSquirrel.]

Hilarious watching these games flop miserably and still somehow getting funding.

They're the equivalent of pandas in the gaming industry, but instead of pandas, we're preserving shit.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

I hate to ruin this party but the ultimate cringe is to be found on the official page.

"Words can hurt. Use weaponised words (fuelled by disinformation) in combat and conversations, to fight enemies, manipulate strangers, and motivate friends."

"Travel undercover as a folk-punk-rock band, and learn to play a set of original tunes around the campfire…before proving yourself in an epic Battle of the Bands!"

"This is the moment to act. The moment to rise up and stand for something. To protect the weak and speak truth to power. To rebel against the forces that threaten us all.

We are Dustborn. What about you?"

[Denton]

Yes, this abomination was actually funded by Norwegian Film Institute and Co-Funded by the Creative Europe Media Programme of the European Union, so in a sense it is sponsored by politicians.

Well more accurately it is productive people involuntarily sponsoring this garbage and the garbage politicians who profit from it on the side.

 

[applesaucejaxon]

I never heard of this game until this thread, but I'll go out of my way to avoid it after seeing this garbage.

 

[Pejo]

Probably a hot take, but I'm 100% cool with this game existing. It knew what it wanted to do and it went for it. Not my cup of tea, but there were no shenanigans or seemingly any compromise from the developers about what they wanted to make.

What I wouldn't like is when this type of scene makes its way into Persona or Monster Hunter and shit like that.

But I had to laugh when the NPC in the end of the video dunked on them for being shit.

 

[digital_ghost]

Just watch this:

 

[lmimmfn]

Burn it all!!!

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Peaked at 2 higher than yesterday. Things are really looking up. Might hit triple digits by the weekend!!

This lady is just your average 90s gamer kid. Enjoy 90s video game things.

Another grifting shithead!

I was in the 90's. It was hell being a nerd gamer!

Actually it wasn't, it was fucking awsome. Better than whatever these retards are pretending at.

Amy Winehouse has been making shitty games all this time since she faked her death almost 13 years ago?

 

[ByWatterson]

I refuse to believe this game isn't a psyop or satire or both.

 

[HoodWinked]

"Dustborn more like dust bin"

 

[Nickolaidas]

Yeah that was shit but it seems shit by design. The NPC basically says that performance was dogshit and the one character goes "ehhhhh yeah we're a bit rusty".

Not sure where that X user is getting that fascism comment from.

The trooper (who supports a fascist regime) tells them that people don't want politics in their entertainment. Which means he supports this notion, ergo supporting entertainment not having politics is something only a fascist would say or support.

 

[Sgt.Asher]

I'm quarter tempted to play this, like "the room" levels of bad.

 

[DavidGzz]

Straight in the dustbin.

 

[majestix1988]

I said never go full monke but this one it's goes full Karen mode that make it shitty teltale game

 

[cinnamonandgravy]

1. no way to know the trooper supports a fascist regime by the video alone
2. he says the people in this area dont like politics in their entertainment (no guarantee he personally subscribes to this notion)
3. even if we assume the trooper is 100% a fascist, your last point still isnt accurate
4. theyre the dustborn
5. repeat 4 over and over

Oh wow, so many tatoos, crazy amount of baggage/trauma, gl to her future spouse or rather dog/cat

 

[Doczu]

I somehow know exactly what the devs physiognomy

You kniw their physiognomy, i know how much they(them) lift.

The usuals, right?

 

[Moochi]

This is good. Let them ruin their own original IP instead of ours for a change.

True, at least it wasnt remake of beloved series with genderswitched and raceswitched protagonist (saints row, rip my beloved ;/ ).

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

Opening your game with "shit by design" might not be the best strategy.

 

[TransTrender]

Looks like a Great Dane or XL Bully type

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Right? Just because you're aware that what you're making is shit doesn't magically make it not shit. It can still be actual shit, which this shit is.

Just watch this:

Who's writing the song? It's suck -13/10 stars imo

So ree just talks a big game but when something is created to please then they don't even play it?

Chronically online, mentally ill poorfags. All of (they)them.

 

[GymWolf]

What really baffles me is, what were they thinking releasing in the same day as Black Myth Wukong?

They thought it was vaporware like most people

 

[Reaseru]

What in the everloving fuck is a "situationship"?

Friends with benefits, but for wokes.

 

[Skifi28]

I'll never understand how we went from devs being passionate about making games to putting out something mediocre for the sake of political activism.

 

[Hudo]

Friends with benefits, but for wokes.

Ah, I think I get it.

 

[Boss Mog]

This is beyond parody, which makes it more scary than funny. I can only hope I live to see the day where all these degenerates are removed from society/social media and put in asylums where they won't be able to corrupt the very impressionable minds of young children, and maybe get the help they need to recover their sanity and become productive members of society.

 

[Heart_Attack]

Go woke go broke. Keep chasing that "modern audience".

it is actually scary.
it makes me think of people like this
and it blows my mind people like this roam free.

4. theyre the dustborn
5. repeat 4 over and over

1. If he didn't support the regime, he wouldn't enlist to its service.

2. Even if he doesn't, the people whom he refers to are the people the dustborn threaten in their song (your time has come and gone, you don't matter anymore, etc.). The game insinuates the people who oppose the views of the song (who the woke label as fascists for not agreeing with them) are the same people who don't want politics in their entertainment, which means they are the same fascists.

3. See 1.

4. I don't give a fuck.

5. See 4.

Yep, this person is clearly in desperate need of psychiatric help. But instead, people like that are championed and free to promote their degeneracy to others and notably young children, whom these degenerates often want to target sexually.

In the case of that dust-born video, there's definitely a threat of violence against those who don't share their views with the line: "Your time is past, your kind won't last". These people are dangerous.

Don't forget some absolutely non-red flag lines like

I heard the particular game was funded with taxpayers' money. Not sure which country's, though.

Nah the TLJ trilogy are goated. Best damn stories in an adventure game. This one is a mess.

[balls of snow]

Wait, this is a Tornquist game???

Wtf man... from TLJ and Dreamfall to... this?? How depressing.

Funny (read:sad) thing is one of the kickstarter goals for Dreamfall Chapters was getting a TLJ like sequel for April. They didnt make the goal and canceled that plan way back in 2016.

That's fucked up. Probably legal but fucked up.
