Dustborn finally wins an award... The Real Game Awards

The show is worth watching, pretty funny.

 

[Grizzled Ghost]

Concord was robbed

Dragon Age was robbed. Nobody knows or cares about Dustborn, Veilguard was the final nail in the coffin for a once beloved franchise.

 

[winjer]

Competition was stiff, but Dustborn is a worthy contender.
Congratulations to all participants for making gaming that much worse in 2024.

 

[SJRB]

Congrats to the EU taxpayers who funded this game. Money well spent!

Glad I could contribute to such an amazing accomplishment, I am very proud and I hope everyone involved is banned from making videogames or literally anything else for life.

 

[RagnarokIV]

I think Concord should have won - a giant black hole for nuking time, money, a studio and even the game itself LMAO

Don't worry, largest part of budget is manure anyway

It's interesting how a game made by a group of like 15 devs made so many people angry.

Who is angry? It's opposite don't you see? We are celebrating!

Didn't tax payers have paid for this game? Then it's understandable. Nobody gives a fuck if Sony or EA waste their own money tho.

Laughing about things is now being angry?

This turd was more entartaining than some actual games, we are just grateful for the show.

Pointing the finger and laughing at the village idiot is hardly a display of anger.

 

[MudoSkills]

*trigger*

 

[Crystal Winters]

is this parody or serious? If serious, I will sub to them. I may do so anyway.

 

[Nickolaidas]

The awards are entirely player funded and voted. No involvement by the access media, publishers, celebrities or whatever.

 

[Power Pro]

It's not wrong, but jesus. Is this the grifter game awards? all these "presenters" are some of the worst on youtube

I'll have you know that Jimmy Rolfe is a highly regarded curator of film and as a filmmaker boasts a filmography of over 300 works!
He's a mastermind across various genres - the six Snix flicks explored horror while The Dragon In My Dreams explores themes of nostalgia. Just two examples of his range as a filmmaker.

 

[Germuso]

Concord was ugly as hell but at least the Gameplay was decent.

Dustborn had norhing.

Indie tax-funded scam game versus AAAA megabomb. Concord deserves a category on its own.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Being worse than Concord is quite an accomplishment.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Concord bombing catastrophically was one of the funniest things I’ve ever witnessed in the gaming industry. I feel genuinely grateful I got to see it all unfold.

 

[pudel]

Must have been a close race! They all deserved to be a winner imho.

 

[Shubh_C63]

Alec Baldwin's finger lol

 

[Darchaos]

Shitty ass game maked by shitty as people, made for shitty as people

 

[Tajaz2426]

Well at least it wasn’t games with women running around looking sexy with cleavage showing, literally killing women and children. You’re all a bunch of assholes that acted like the damn awesome lunatics I was raised with in the 80s and 90s!

We will not be going back to a time where people’s mantra was “fuck you” let me be. No, sir please no.

 

[TheKratos]

Another L for Concord

 

[LaughingStock]

Did it win worst song? It should.

 

[SmokedMeat]

I don’t know how anything can beat Concord. Dust Born must be a real gem,

 

[MiguelItUp]

We didn't need to hear that from the garbage "The Real Game Awards" to know that. Concord and this were besties this year.

 

[WhamBamThankYouMaam]

I saw video clips from Dustborne, and I just could not believe that was the actual gameplay.

 

[Kronark]

Gonna be real. That awards video is cringe. The only thing worse than overly woke shit is people who make being anti-woke their entire identity.

 

[diffusionx]

I still think there is a decent chance that Dustborn was some intentionally insane woke art piece.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

I mean Concord is worse than it even lost.

 

[Roberts]

I skipped through the video: whoever these nerds are, I will give them award for the shittiest attempt at humour of 2025.

 

[Peroroncino]

"wins" lol

 

[saintjules]

It's like Actraiser meets Castlevania meets Altered Beast.

Shat on the toilet, scooped up and served to the masses.

 

[Fake]

Concord can't even get a shit award holy shit.

 

[Saber]

Hard to believe Concord of all would lost to Dustborn. Must be a very closed fight between the turds lmao

It's interesting how a game made by a group of like 15 devs made so many people angry.

Everyone here is laughing at it, not angry.
You failed to even read the room.

I feel dirty every time I think about that.

 

[Kacho]

James Rolfe outta nowhere

 

[Timberwolf25]

Concord did win the biggest failure award, so they did not go without a "win".

Some cringe moments, some jokes that fell flat, and still better than "The Game Awards" show. Overall, I'd give it a B-/C+

 

[Nikodemos]

Should've absolutely been Concord in all categories. Its failure has wide-ranging ramifications, like a bunch of other live-service games being cancelled, and companies taking a more critical look at their GaaS budgets.
Dustborn only won because of a bunch of triggered nerds. Yes, it's a meh game with bad story and cringe shit throughout, but it absolutely does not compare to the impact Concord's death had on the general industry.

 

[Duchess]

Sounds like Jon St. John (voice of Duke Nukem) doing the commentary.

 

[Black_Stride]

Veilguard and Suicide Squad dont deserve to be on this list.
Concord, SouthPark and Dustborn should have been every nomination back to back to back.

For those that didnt/dont know a South Park game came out this year......and it legit feels like we were being trolled, its not even bad in a funny way, its bad in an almost I think the devs personally personally hate me.
This shit was maliciously bad.....truly an insult against the medium.
Even IGN finally gave a below 5 review.

Do you know how bad your game must be for IGN to bring out the below 5 rating.

It's probably not on the list because the gamers didn't even vote it in as a nominee given how obscure it is.
The titles that made it in had a lot of press and is probably why they were more well known.

 

[RickSanchez]

Did it win worst song? It should.

Aah yes, the one with the "new porn".

The lyrics of this seem to be generated by a badly trained AI or something.

 

[Complistic]

This "game" comes up entirely too often for how insignificant it is. Also Concords the biggest fail this year easily.
