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

>>722850790 (OP)
There are little-to-no devs in this industry who do it for the love of the game
Blood'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 (OP)
>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.

They 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.

>>722850790 (OP)
A 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 (OP)
>brutal launch
wasn'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

The 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".

No, they didn’t. But i suppose Ragnar has to lie now. How poetic. This is what he actually wanted the game to be.

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.

99% 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.

What 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/.

No they didn't.

>>722850952
Because 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.

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.

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.

>>722850790 (OP)

>>722861807
>made with love
I 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.

>>722861976
We'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.

>>722862236
The 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.

it'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

>>722850790 (OP)
How little understanding of the industry, and the culture of gaming do you have to have to be "caught off guard" by this abomination?

Did 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.

>>722862236
That 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.

>>722862646
Learning 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.

BG3 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.

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.

>>722860707
Not him but Bald'N'Gay 3 had several advantages:
>Existing popular IP
You 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 trash
Even 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 luck
Sometimes 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.

it's the game that exemplifies everything wrong with the current gaming industry and its obsession with shoehorning real-world sociopolitics in games

it'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

>>722850790 (OP)
I'd prefer they make good games rather than nice games.

>>722866534
Even 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.

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.

If 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.

Ragnar 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.

It'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.

Isn't Famitsu's rating system kinda borked and you can basically not go lower than 12/13?

>>722895308
The 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.

>>722861809

Right. 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.

I 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.

He would be smart to just walk away from the industry silently and go pick another profession.

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.

This. 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.
