Support NeoGAF

[rm082e]

Was it paid for with some taxpayer grant money?

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Dont forget added costs of expensing airfare, hotel and food. Total waste of time and money.

Well, you know media, tech and gaming companies. They always seem to have unlimited budgets.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

This could have been a cool game if they were using these cancel/bullying type mechanics to make fun of these kinda people.
Like a satire anti-woke game. But no . . .

That's $625 per person. Almost enough to just bribe those 4 with a PS5 Pro.

 

[Hookshot]

Well done for them, they got a free trip to Japan off of EU taxpayers.

 

[Moriarty1889]

Those damn racist Japanese……not even caring enough to support poor dei infused trash like Dustborn.

 

[thief183]

I still think the devs are trolling us all, the took the money, made a game moking those type of person, and then keep on saying it is all genuine cause otherwise they are going to loose the money for their next game.

Pls be true.

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

I seriously thought the devs for Dustborn was making a parody game on purpose at first.

 

[Johnny Concrete]

How is 'trigger' not triggered by the actuall triggers?

With very minor resistance on the Dual Sense, pls.

 

[ReyBrujo]

And she's the fucking hero of the story.

Almost two decades ago Bully was acclaimed, now this game is roasted. Looks like society advanced (thought not enough to accept ugly fat characters).

 

[MagusMajul]

Sounds like a great deal tbh. NeoGAF booth incoming!

make sure you hire some hot japanese booth babes to go with it

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

It sure as hell wasn't paid for by revenue from Dustborn sales lol.

Pretty sure these grifters know they're fucked and they're just trying to extract and squander as much taxpayer money as possible before they get shut down. Free vacation to Japan!!

what the fuck is dustborn even, I literally never heard of this game before that one thread here about the opening cutscene

That was a satire, as every Rockstar game. Dustborn isn't. It's a cynical propaganda work made with the only intention of stealing public funds.

 

[Snake29]

And hire him for the booth:

It's basically what you get if you let a bunch of leftist internet culture warriors create a power fantasy where they're some antifa superheroes beating up American fascists and using their words as special powers. (Except for the white dude in your group who doesn't have that ability, his super power is "listening" lmao)

3 reasons why it got any attention:
- it's from the dude behind Dreamfall/The Longest Journey
- some meme-worthy culture war cringe that's so ridiculous and heavy handed, it's indistinguishable from parody (like one of your party members being a fat butch lesbian Muslim with vitiligo)
- it got made thanks to a huge amount of funding from the Norwegian ministry of culture

And got money from EU grant.

Right? You would at least think of that.

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

TIL that (what looks like and endcap/20x20 island) at TGS runs $2500. I have to pay 4x that to go to Florida in December for a 10x10 squished between two other booths and not a single wall scroll in sight.

Maybe that is what our booth is missing...some tasteful wall scrolls in the middle of an international war expo

 

[cireza]

So basically this game is a paid tutorial "How to become an asshole".

I had the impression of it just being indie devs being weird as always, the gov funding sounds so damn cringe.

 

[BigBeauford]

All of these people walking past the corpse in the OP is textbook 101 Bystander Effect.

 

[Phobos Base]

- Make a game where you state you want to challenge stereotypes

- Make the protagonist an angry, stoic black woman

Uh huh

 

[IDKFA]

"Norwegian Games"

The Soy Bros out there casually bringing shame to an entire country.

How can you let this happen, Norway? Are you really going to let this slide?

Norway.

[Mr Netori]

I love this picture, the contrast between deicore euroslop and big fucking anime tits hits like poetry.

Haha I love this picture

 

[FingerBang]

Uh huh

It's always like this though. Stereotypes are bad, but then they see stereotypes in everything.

Like the whole "orcs are black coded" in D&D. In a normal world seeing them as black would be the racist act, but nope, orcs are racist.

 

[Fake]

Quite poetic. Karma is a bitch.

 

[DeepEnigma]

I guess all Japanese gamers at TGS must have been incels.

Japan's birthrate is down an alarming rate.

Wait... Japan's birthrate is down an alarming rate?

 

[Saber]

Sounds like a great deal tbh. NeoGAF booth incoming!

Totally!

"Neogaf Incel Booth - play your favorite games that incels canceled or took the blame for it!"
We also should hire some babes and strippers.

And Japaneses be like:

Look at them. They're heroes.
