@ULTRAOutdoorsman I recon Tørnquist took a back seat on this one and let the other two (American, from what I can gather) writers dictate the direction. Tørnquist is too competent of a writer to make this if you go by the other games he's written for.
It's an interesting trend of characters where their superpower is just something super mundane. Like, Life is Strange: True Colors it was empathy, Tell Me Why it was memory (which didn't even work because their memories were wrong half the time), and now it's just speaking. It's really dumb, but then we get cringey games, so I guess it all works out.
It's just recycling the mechanic from the Life is Strange prequel, but that was because Chloe didn't have powers and they needed to give her _something_
eventually we'll reach a point where breathing will become a superpower. no, not blowing large quantities of air or making tornados come out of your nostrils, just normal breathing
I mean they're potentially interesting mechanics. Basically most of the superhuman abilities in the Dune books work like that. If they made a Dune game it would feature super powers like that. The Bene Gesserit powers especially are basically all of those things. Including the voice they can use to command others.
12:55 "Riders. Kill." Ah, the voice acting in this game. Just love it when they get some intern from the accounting department to voice these characters.
I find it funny that I knew just from the thumbnail that this had Life is Strange people involved. I find it funnier that 10:14 casually implies that Kennedy getting shot prevented this dystopian timeline and was actually a good thing.
I love how the game's all about "the power of words" and they're specifically saying that there's "Me-ems" that are fueling people with disinformation... so instead of being kind, the main character's attitude is to threaten, bully and manipulate people to do what she wants. Like, if you don't want people to believe lies about you, how about you don't prove them right?
Even more ironic is that this is an exact reflection of their beliefs. The game is so spot on, everyone thinks it’s satire, but I can feel their resentment.
There also doing that thing where they equate disinformation and conspiracies with the right-wing, when it's simply a tactic/thing that emerges, something that any side can and will use. Like, anti-vacs has historically been a left-wing conspiracy (anti-big pharma, pro-new age medicine). Hell, they cite a conspiracy (Justice being behind the "Broadcast"/"Disorder") that they sincerely consider could be true, while in the same scene that they're fighting the physical embodiment of disinformation and conspiracy theories.
If Ben Shapiro started a sentence with "This is the type of video game liberals want:" whatever followed would be a to the word accurate description of Dustborn, from the writing to the character designs to the plot
If I had a dollar for every dogshit wannabe Life Is Strange knock-off that had government backing I'd have two dollars. That's not a lot, but it's weird it happened twice.
Y'know, this whole game seems like it was made by out-of-touch, privileged idiots from Europe. They're trying to pass these characters as disenfranchised and runaways, but one of them is so rich they got their own asset-flipped fancy apartment, and has the means to make the trip smoother for the rest of the group, and they even got a big bus. It reminds me of a Terry Pratchett bit, about "the kind of poverty only the absurdly wealthy can afford", which is best described as 'smugly picturesque'.
It's really feels like a parody of itself. The writing is so infantile. Compare the racial supremacist character in Disco Elysium to the right wing caricatures in this thing, miles apart. Also love that Traditional Family Values edit.
@@thematiasmadness7010 I know. I was making a joke about dustborn being the good game that won’t get a sequel instead of the critically acclaimed disco elysium. That was my intention
@ULTRAOutdoorsman Yeah, but it's just bad build optimization to wait that long without committing to a class. There's really no good non-specialized skills at the higher levels
The director made The Longest Journey, which is unironically an absolute classic of adventure games. Then, with each subsequent game in the series, the characters got a little blander and the gameplay got less fun. Most series start good but shaky, and work their way up to being fantastic. But Ragnar's games are the reverse. It's baffling.
Writer here! The opening scene to your story is extremely important. It’s meant to either hook your audience to the story or endear them to the characters (Ideally both). So I applaud this game or going in the exact opposite direction and making me hate every single main character in the first 30 seconds. Very bold storytelling👏👏👏
It's absolutely awful writing. Even if you take out the obvious political commentary, it's incredibly shallow and on the nose. Most highschoolers could probably come up with something better after a couple of lessons in creative writing
My favourite part is 17:25. They're supposed to be yelling children that emphasize the words they pronounce that align with them pulling the toy, but the voice actors... just didn't do that. Like, you can TELL what it was supposed to sound like based off of the subtitles, but the direction/voice acting is SO SHIT that the ephasized words in the subtitles never match what the fuck the characters are saying/emphasizing.
you missed it but during the combat tutorial when it was saying "facts are lies!", another one of the lines is "the pizza is a front!" in reference to pizza gate LOL
everything the protagonist says sounds so freaking evil. You could tell me this was the new game plus mode where you play as the villains, and I would 100% believe you.
You have to appreciate just how shitty the voice acting is (especially that sequence of "arguing" at 17:28 where the emphasis in the subtitles isn't emphasised at ALL, and the supposedly screaming children just sound like bored, monotoned adults). Everyone either sounds monotone when they shouldn't, can't emphasize what they need to/what's asked for in the subtitles, or just sounds plain amateur. It's amazing how bad it is. I love it!
@@IggyWon it is not a 1:1 of the apartment. (Im legit level 1400, id know). However what it is is a bought asset made in 2019 (long after both GTA high end apartment versions were made) heavily inspired (says in its own description) by the GTA apartment. Perhaps too inspired.
I actually know a couple of people who have it. It's not actually that uncommon in some Latin communities but yeah it's weird that it's been showing up a lot lately in games.
I was in the Navy with someone who said they had it. They weren't patchy but were pale as fuck. They also used it to get out of wearing boots so I have no clue how that works or if he truly did.
Its maximal representation for minimal effort. Making a whole new character model is a lot of work, adding splotches to a skin texture is comparatively less so.
Why would a group of fugitives in an authoritarian conservative dystopia use being an anti-establishment punk band as a cover? That only works if your enemies hold free speech sacrosanct and won't persecute or investigate you based on your views. Wouldn't it make sense to be a wholesome revival group? The music could be subtle parody and the group would need to present socially acceptable cover identities adding drama. I know I'm polishing a turd but they're selling an unpolished turd.
My current headcanon is when Pax refers to her Moms, she is talking about a single woman who is self diagnosed with DID after watching TwosoulsOnebod Tik Toks and they are SO progressive they encourage her to have alts like Elsa from Frozen and Lady Gaga the 1st
"⚡⚡⚡ TOUCH YOURSELF⚡⚡⚡"😠-Pax "Okay...."🤨🙄-robots "⚡⚡⚡You KNOW what i mean⚡⚡⚡"😈-Pax "..."😟-robots *the robots started touching themselves and spilled oil all-over the place until they no longer had the energy to continue*
Well if there’s one positive thing I can say about this game it’s that I didn’t notice Pax was played by Dominique Tipper because she’s putting on such a convincing American accent
The Ghostbuster line reference in that gameplay section is a good allusion to the fact that they used a similar but worst version of the ghost capturing mechanic of the 360 Ghostbuster game
Imagine being 37, meaning by definition you were born at the end of one height of pop music and lived through another, and thinking you need to explain what the pop in K-pop stands for
You just swerved into oncoming traffic, forcing a 16-wheeler into an evasive manoeuvre that results in a multiple vehicle crash. "Not your fault, Sai." WUT!?
How bad could it be? "Literally gives the main character abilities called Cancel, Manipulate and Bully and thinks those are good things and she's a relatable, likeable character" bad.
Whenever dweebs complain about games being "too woke" for having a woman or a gay character in it, all I can think about it "you have no IDEA what a true woke video game is... and pray you never find out". Good lord this thing is like a satire of modern sensibilities in pop culture.
Most people who are against DEI don't complain about women or gay characters, just about politics in place where politics shouldn't take place. If they actually complain about a woman being in the main role, they're stupid (Furiosa, etc.). This game is just politics but "playable", I'm glad we can all kick this horse to death.
@@CuteSkylerThey are against women and black people in games, why do you think they ALWAYS complain about them in games. They don’t understand their own ideology is actually against corporate writing being stale as fuck, and ruining actual passion that could flourish diversity. Fuck the killmonger haircut
This game is not woke. This game is full on communist, made by people who unironically believe that the character's action ingame are correct. The creators of this game unironically believe that brainwashing people who disagree with you is correct, because the other side is ontologically evil (cit. Keffals). Woke is also communist, but in a more gramscian way, as in they want to insert ideology into every part of society to permeate their ideas into society, but that's another discourse,
Fuck's sake, _NO ONE_ has ever complained about video gaes having female characters, and the mere presence of a gay character is not what people are against, it's tokenism and characters who are written as gay first and everything else optionally!
Thank you to every game after Life Is Strange for making Life Is Strange seem unique and subtle in comparison. The music thing in that one was just normal levels of cringe, and it’s somehow diminishing returns each time lmao
Ragnar Tørnquist, is the Director of this game. His name sounds like slang for the the 'mood' of a woman on her period: " I can't ask her today, she's all Ragnar Tørnquisted'.
The craziest thing about this game is how it doesn't everything in it's power to keep the progressing, just so the devs can preach their their flawed message.
17:37 I don't think I've ever heard a pluralizing of the "I'm telling!" before. Usually there's the one authority figure like "The teacher" or "The Principle" or a parental figure like "Mom" or "Dad". I get it; they have two moms, but they would specify the one that has the most authority, because "I'm telling" is a threat, and you don't tattle to the more submissive parent.
@@BletchWasd oh yeah, saying it’s one of the better ones is not high praise lol. I never finished it. It had some cool mechanics but nothing enough to keep me interested. I mostly just played it for the novelty of driving up and down the pass
The game is just characters sitting around and talking to each other. You would think they would at least bother to animate the lip sync and body language right but they couldn't be arsed to do even that.
@ULTRAOutdoorsman Heh good to know. Still, I think a woman would shorten that to winnie if anything, right? So are they a trans man? Or just being quirky?
ain't no way they opened the game with the protags killing random people, being told its okay and then just the punchline being that the car has self driving anyway
Y’know, I’d been debating whether this game was worth checking out, but your playthrough shows that there’s a lot more to this game than “just bully everyone around you” and now I think I might give the game a shot. Thanks!

It's killing me that the character with vitiligo looks like the character OneyPlays made for their Saint's Row playthrough
I thought the game wasn't real because of that lol
"S-should we shoot the bipoc with Vitiligo?"
Motifa!
Why is it always vitiligo?
Why not some other skin issue?
Is it... oh no... it's because it's melanin related. Which makes it political, I guess?

I don't mind it honestly. It's not common but there are definitely more than 4 people with it.
I was in the Navy with someone who said they had it. They weren't patchy but were pale as fuck. They also used it to get out of wearing boots so I have no clue how that works or if he truly did.
Its maximal representation for minimal effort. Making a whole new character model is a lot of work, adding splotches to a skin texture is comparatively less so.
27:12 might be the greatest move ive ever seen in a fighting game 😤
Why would a group of fugitives in an authoritarian conservative dystopia use being an anti-establishment punk band as a cover? That only works if your enemies hold free speech sacrosanct and won't persecute or investigate you based on your views. Wouldn't it make sense to be a wholesome revival group? The music could be subtle parody and the group would need to present socially acceptable cover identities adding drama. I know I'm polishing a turd but they're selling an unpolished turd.
16:09 Big Man Tyrone is eternal.
Watching Adam play this silly game is my happy place right now.
A game where the writers didn't realise they made all the main characters out to be the bad guys. Did nobody read the script beforehand?
Its okay, they are the Good Guys which makes everything they do morally correct.
They read the script. Just like Hollywood, their writers don’t know the difference between good and bad.
What do you mean? They've declared themselves victims, meaning they must always be morally right, even when their actions are horrible.
Is this game any good? I hear it’s the new porn
I am old porn, I want a normal beer.
It'll melt your brain
10:40 I thought of you being so frustrated with Goodbye Volcano High not even reacting to you failing the entire song at this part.
Jesus Christ 10/10 editing ❤
My current headcanon is when Pax refers to her Moms, she is talking about a single woman who is self diagnosed with DID after watching TwosoulsOnebod Tik Toks and they are SO progressive they encourage her to have alts like Elsa from Frozen and Lady Gaga the 1st
I'm not religious but God i pray for your well being after this torment.
"⚡⚡⚡ TOUCH YOURSELF⚡⚡⚡"😠-Pax
"Okay...."🤨🙄-robots
"⚡⚡⚡You KNOW what i mean⚡⚡⚡"😈-Pax
"..."😟-robots
*the robots started touching themselves and spilled oil all-over the place until they no longer had the energy to continue*
Well if there’s one positive thing I can say about this game it’s that I didn’t notice Pax was played by Dominique Tipper because she’s putting on such a convincing American accent
Got a new sub, your level is humor is my type of obscure internet brain rot😂
This game is heckin' awesomesauce, I can move shit with my mind???
The Ghostbuster line reference in that gameplay section is a good allusion to the fact that they used a similar but worst version of the ghost capturing mechanic of the 360 Ghostbuster game
Millennial writing is brutal.
Gen X, actually. Apparently European flavored, so that explains a lot.
Imagine being 37, meaning by definition you were born at the end of one height of pop music and lived through another, and thinking you need to explain what the pop in K-pop stands for
"how do I know when my sausage is done" 😭😭😂
The protag is so fucking evil, what the hell. They just manipulate and bully so bluntly lmao
I do love the idea that YMS thought this sold
You just swerved into oncoming traffic, forcing a 16-wheeler into an evasive manoeuvre that results in a multiple vehicle crash.
"Not your fault, Sai."
WUT!?
How bad could it be?
"Literally gives the main character abilities called Cancel, Manipulate and Bully and thinks those are good things and she's a relatable, likeable character" bad.
Whenever dweebs complain about games being "too woke" for having a woman or a gay character in it, all I can think about it "you have no IDEA what a true woke video game is... and pray you never find out". Good lord this thing is like a satire of modern sensibilities in pop culture.
Most people who are against DEI don't complain about women or gay characters, just about politics in place where politics shouldn't take place. If they actually complain about a woman being in the main role, they're stupid (Furiosa, etc.). This game is just politics but "playable", I'm glad we can all kick this horse to death.
@@CuteSkylerThey are against women and black people in games, why do you think they ALWAYS complain about them in games. They don’t understand their own ideology is actually against corporate writing being stale as fuck, and ruining actual passion that could flourish diversity. Fuck the killmonger haircut
This game is not woke. This game is full on communist, made by people who unironically believe that the character's action ingame are correct. The creators of this game unironically believe that brainwashing people who disagree with you is correct, because the other side is ontologically evil (cit. Keffals).
Woke is also communist, but in a more gramscian way, as in they want to insert ideology into every part of society to permeate their ideas into society, but that's another discourse,
my reddit ass be like
you have no I-DEI
Fuck's sake, _NO ONE_ has ever complained about video gaes having female characters, and the mere presence of a gay character is not what people are against, it's tokenism and characters who are written as gay first and everything else optionally!
Nice to see that Arkh Project finally got made.
i still cant believe scoot is dead
We're the good guys! When people die because of our bad decisions, it's okay and not our fault!
The jack didn't have a handle on it. lol
Is eastern canada the west virginia of canada?
I've been waiting for this.
The view count is bigger than the amount of people playing the game
7:11 I’m ashamed that this game even mentions salt lake
I refuse to believe this is real.
Thank you to every game after Life Is Strange for making Life Is Strange seem unique and subtle in comparison. The music thing in that one was just normal levels of cringe, and it’s somehow diminishing returns each time lmao
Ragnar Tørnquist, is the Director of this game. His name sounds like slang for the the 'mood' of a woman on her period: " I can't ask her today, she's all Ragnar Tørnquisted'.
The craziest thing about this game is how it doesn't everything in it's power to keep the progressing, just so the devs can preach their their flawed message.
I pray for him to finish this
The device being called a MEEM is legit unbelievable. You can't make this up.
17:37 I don't think I've ever heard a pluralizing of the "I'm telling!" before. Usually there's the one authority figure like "The teacher" or "The Principle" or a parental figure like "Mom" or "Dad".
I get it; they have two moms, but they would specify the one that has the most authority, because "I'm telling" is a threat, and you don't tattle to the more submissive parent.
This looks like if you combined the writing/gameplay of a Dontnod game with the graphics of a Suda game
But none of the charm or humor
@@Arcademan09yep
Oh thats what I was thinking of this totally looks like a suda game
The writer of The Longest Journey worked on this. Unfuckingbelievable
I just want a good game to be set in Oregon for once
@ULTRAOutdoorsman I’m still reeling from the disrespect of Dead Rising taking place in Willamette, Colorado.
i actually enjoyed days gone quit a bit
@@BletchWasd days gone is definitely one of the better ones imo
@@pipergallaher5463 still like a 5-6/10 tho.
@@BletchWasd oh yeah, saying it’s one of the better ones is not high praise lol. I never finished it. It had some cool mechanics but nothing enough to keep me interested.
I mostly just played it for the novelty of driving up and down the pass
SPOILER:
The one with purple hair is a cop IIRC
This game feels like it was made to make fun of the people who made it, just in terms of demographic
This sounds like a game Adum would love to
25:26 "Your mind was infected with disinformation" holy fuck my sides this game is like the sort of game alex jones would imagine leftists like
The game is just characters sitting around and talking to each other. You would think they would at least bother to animate the lip sync and body language right but they couldn't be arsed to do even that.
"Fred"
OK I know I shouldn't have been surprised by that name, but I was
@ULTRAOutdoorsman Heh good to know. Still, I think a woman would shorten that to winnie if anything, right? So are they a trans man? Or just being quirky?
ain't no way they opened the game with the protags killing random people, being told its okay and then just the punchline being that the car has self driving anyway
Y’know, I’d been debating whether this game was worth checking out, but your playthrough shows that there’s a lot more to this game than “just bully everyone around you” and now I think I might give the game a shot. Thanks!
