Just think about it, without Unreal 5 asset packs...this game would look even more jank.

 

[Lokaum D+]

But modern audiences?

This game was tailor made for the purple crowd and the OT is already buried on page 2.

Are you listening game devs? These people do not show up for your games.

I remember seeing post after post on the shithole known as Reddit on feminist subreddits like r/girlgamers (aka bitch about except actual video games) and r/gamingcirclejerk about how they're going to "buy 10 copies to OwN dA ChUdS". As usual, they were full of shit. I'm sure RetardEra is being even more insufferable about this turd.

A flop just like everybody predicted

Just tell em to make you gay

 

[Boss Mog]

I gotta admit, I do love it when these woke games fail.

 

[Denton]

Imagine making a woke game to appease leftists only to get blasted for not being woke enough

Revolution always ends up eating its own

 

[The Mad Draklor]

I love how the same media that shilled for this game immediately did a heel turn once the shittiness instantly became evident.

 

[tkminus]

But modern audiences?

that is not excuse for a bad game.

this is those 1.99$ shovelware key games.

 

[KanKamAndNob]

how do i tell my barber i want this haircut

"Yo give me dat 34 year old virgin monk look"
"Got ya fam"

 

[corgiix3]

Looks like we still looking for that modern audience

 

[KanKamAndNob]

I gotta admit, I do love it when these woke games fail.

Especially considering the obnoxious amount of media press it got and the posts from Reddit and ResetEra saying they're going to buy the game to "own da chuds".

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

They must hate the fact that the only attention this game can get is if Asmongold plays it

 

[Hollywood Hitman]

And isn't it funny, 15 20 years ago we never even had these types of conversations. Games were simply made for entertainment but the left fucking cunts don't realize it's they who came in with their politics shoved into everything and are mad when people reject on it.

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

The review score and sales are funny.

But dont laugh too much. A bunch of people got paid good money to make this junk for years. Another gaming grift.

And given the tone of the game, I wouldnt be surprised if the company leached government funding to make it. It happens sometimes for these kinds of games. So there's chance your tax dollars paid a bunch of people salaries for years to make it.

Even though I have no evidence, I have no doubts this is the case. Some European public institution has given a grant for "minority visibility in videogames" or something along those lines.

 

[laynelane]

That and an interview with two of the devs made it quite clear what this game was prioritizing. Not surprised the combat isn't good, the technical problems, etc. It was never about making a good game in the first place.

 

[uncreativename]

Damn, I thought that this game would at least get that games journalist support, but apparently it can't even do that.

You know it's bad when left dick sucking hacks dont support it

 

[Smiggs]

I love medieval games and the setting in general, and the pictures I saw looked kind of interesting. And I can look past the culture war shit as long as the game is actually good.

But since this is an obvious dumpster fire waiting on a fuel up from a couple kegs of gasoline, I'm gonna go ahead and pass on this crap.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

427 peak CCU.

Worse than Concord and Flintlock. Better than Unknown 9 Awakening and Dustborn.

Another modern audience-sized success!

 

[adventurer_unknown]

Can you imagine being so oblivious working on a product for years that nobody wants?

I've often wondered this. When you reveal your game and everyone hates it, why double down and fan the culture war flames? Better to scrap a project midway through production than see it through to release and then get dragged for weeks/months.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

At least they owned the chuds. No way Knights Path beats it . . .

 

[GymWolf]

how do i tell my barber i want this haircut

Tell him that you want to look like if joanne d'arc was a dude who gets zero pussy.

And don't let him start until he says "say no more fam"

 

[Fbh]

how do i tell my barber i want this haircut

"I'm going to Berlin on the weekend and I'm participating in a feminist, anti fascist, pro Iran, Venezuela and Palestine, Vegan, LGHDTV+, just stop oil climate march that was organized on Era and Reddit... and I want to fit in with the crowd"

 

[llLeonhart]

It'll reach a cool million on the weekend when the modern audience show up.
They'll defined show up for this one, right?

 

[Labadal]

how do i tell my barber i want this haircut

I want a lesbian haircut?

 

[Moondoggy]

Hahaha oh my god, at least one reviewer is actually pulling the, "It still isn't gay enough" bullshit. This is why you don't bend the knee and try to appeal to these people, it's never enough for them.

 

[ReBurn]

So the modern audience is only a few hundred people I guess

 

[DeepEnigma]

323 chuds owned !!

 

[Tallahassee]

crime haircut

 

[uncreativename]

Hahaha oh my god, at least one reviewer is actually pulling the, "It still isn't gay enough" bullshit.

Yeah that shit pisses me off. Part of it is them wanting to sound like they're still supportive, which is funny, but also what's left unsaid is that they at least partially mean "it's the wrong kind of gay", with the Right kind constantly being redefined to an increasingly exclusive standard by certain people.

2026's "lesbian knight game," 1348 Ex Voto, is short on lesbians

1348 Ex Voto has been under fire for its "woke" protagonist since the demo dropped, but it turns out it actually isn't gay enough.

1348 Ex Voto Review: How Far Would You Go To Save The Ones You Larp?

Aeta's tale of confliced queer revenge has so much potential, but doesn't stick the landing.

[Variahunter]

I mean who was the target audience ?
Lesbians hardcore gamers interested in medieval combat ?
I guess the game has reached all of them then...

 

[John Bilbo]

Seems the peak has been reached for now. Will it break 500 concurrent players on the weekend?

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

The haircut is not that far off from the popular haircut all the high school boys are doing three days.

 

[PeteBull]

I opened a thread asking why is the player count so low and I got permanently banned from their discussion topic hahaha. They/them are very nervous

 

[EntelechyFuff]

Fuck I really wanted this to be good...

This but unironically. Unless the quoted post was also unironic. In which case, pretend I posted an unmodified "this".

 

[LiquidMetal14]

I love the clit

 

[diffusionx]

Where was this game made? I'll go to my grave thinking Dustborn was a taxpayer-funded modern art piece on the nature of modern woke ideology and I'm wondering if this was too.

 

[laynelane]

I tried reading the article. Just pure narcissistic brainrot by a blogger who couldn't make it any clearer that she's not interested in games. Identity politics, yes. Great games, fuck no.

This why it's a waste of time pandering to the far left woke crowd. Whatever you do is never enough for them. The only way to properly handle them is to ignore them and instead focus on serving your actual player base who actually buy games and keep the industry afloat.

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Shitty nasty game deserves to fail and good riddance just like dustborn and relooted.
