Dustborn Is An EMBARRASSING Failure

[@IcarusMundi]

Keep in mind that this shit is government sponsored.

[@RipRLeeErmey]

With funding from both the Norwegian government, and, indirectly, the American government.

[@patrik9328]

why

[@DogeickBateman]

@@RipRLeeErmey Mostly the EU and Norwegian governments.

[@DogeickBateman]

@@patrik9328 A Norwegian youtuber explained that it's a grant problem where Norway's game development scene isn't as big compared to Finland or Sweden, they greenlit it highballing it would show the country's digital prowess off, when all in reality it showed that Red Thread is completely out of touch and so are the Norwegian film institute and government.

I like how they decided to rhyme the song with *airborne, newborn, dustborn and new porn.* Genuinely surprised they didn't use words like Unicorn or Thorn or Torn or Return or Burn....

[@BoeBins]

Horn. Mourn. Scorn. Worn. So many words to rhyme with instead. Doesn't help that the rest of the song is equally disgusting and uncreative. What an embarrassing product.

[@RipRLeeErmey]

The fact that they literally rhymed "newborn" with *_"New porn"_* should tell you everything you really need to know about the devs.

[@cosafea8722]

I'm sure that they wanted their awfuls songs (and especially the chorus) to be viral on sites like Tiktok, where people will do edits or whatever, but failed miserably

[@goldy_on_pc930]

this is what happens when u give someone with a gender studies degree who has their pronouns in their resume the job to write your game

[@nurgleschosen8145]

Im surprised you didnt put in the part where they say "your kind wont last, your time is past" or some real 1940 germany kind of shit

[@colinmarch30]

"your kind won't last" was an exact moustache man quote

[@polishdecay]

@@colinmarch30 LITERALLY 1984

You actually bought and played this.......... I salute you for your sacrifice sir.

[@colinmarch30]

Bro was part of the peak player count

[@LinkiePup]

He didn’t just buy it, his taxes paid for it. MANS NORWEGIAN!!

[@water6006]

Man, a moment of silence for every penny this man sacrificed 🫡

[@zxyatiywariii8]

"The trouble is, most of our choices suck." Nailed it!

[@LinkiePup]

I’ve watched play throughs of this game, and a part that stands out to me was at some point you have the choice to save a dude, and if you do he rescues you. But if you don’t, he still rescues you. This is a game about choices- yet we don’t get to make choices.

[@zalybrainlessgenius503]

"The AI is so dysfunctional it could collect welfare." well damn 💀

[@Kerbalizer]

I love the amélie reference also, i fucking hate i paid for this. the EU is just fucking us over with stupidity, what's next, a chat control bill? So I won't be even able to tell my friends not to play this shit without getting swatted in 2039. Editing the edited comment again, your jokes r funny as funny as it gets, I wanna watch a lot more of u now

[@patriciopannucio2844]

The game is just mediocre and bland, and I don't mind having politics in a game (in fact my favourites include MGS and Fallout, to name a few) but please this thing really needs to learn a thing or two about NUANCE. Even progressives dislike it for being so on-the-nose.

[@zxyatiywariii8]

Same, Fallout is my eternal favorite but it actually has likeable characters, and nuance even amongst characters like the ghouls and the Chinese soldiers. Dustborn, in contrast, is like a sledgehammer. 😑🤦🏾‍♀️

[@mannyafcarsensl-rc6vv]

No progressives hate it because whilst playing it they realised how cringe they are

[@Keitto191]

The most fun way to play the songs is to fail on purpose 😂

[@thientuongnguyen2564]

At this point, KZbinrs have more revenue than Dustbin could ever dream of. This is beyond embarrassing.

[@underthepale]

I played this, I beat it, all because I wanted to know what their hatred for JFK was. Not only do I still not know that, I ALSO want to know what was UP with the Robert Frost quotes. IS THIS GAME OKAY?

[@ergotroff]

The power of words. The power of many words.

[@MrOverHeels]

If only E3 still exist, I'd love to watch the Dustborn song to be performed there lol

[@attilavarga3188]

OG BigJuicer is doing a play through on this very platform. He’s making the bad choices on purpose and it’s hilarious. Go check it out folks! 🤣

[@cosafea8722]

The funniest thing about this game is its inaccuracies on USA and its politics. Don't get me wrong, I don't care about it and I'm not even american, but being its main focus, it's very noticeable that all their information was via tweets in their timeline and maybe, just maybe, a google search about something

[@Bort-licenseplate]

Quantic Dream published this?! Dammit man! They were one of the good ones 😢

[@thesenate3627]

Honestly, I would rather go play good old KotOR II TSL with the RCM on for up to 50 hours of RPG fun than touch Dustborn.

[@colinmarch30]

Id rather force myself to find 50 hours of content in KOTOR 1 than touch this

[@thesenate3627]

@@colinmarch30 I think KotOR II TSL is better than KotOR, but it's still over a billion times better choice than any of the woke games

Did you…..did you just doxx athleticfemale?

[@GenericheroVII]

Man. I am early. But yeah, great video! I dunno why, but this feels like it shares traits like Yiik. Awkward pacing. Awkward setting. And nuances in culture setting that gets lost overall. I think pragmatics wise, the more scholarly someone is, the more likely they are going to criticize things with does. Like how awkward corporate things can be. Or chan posters. Dustborn is weird. Like it should be my thing; but it alienates me, the curious researcher of LGBT things. Or now, LGBTQ now.
