The Detractor - Official DSP Video Game

[QwahlityKahntent]

was wondering why there are so many tourists in here, i see this made the front page

Devs should give joah a key to stream it.

but only after he plays Stellar Blade and Startroon Valley first.

It's a pretty fun game. Gameplay-wise it's a bit buggy and easily cheesable after you farm up some of the permanent upgrades but it's a nice concept that stays fun for an hour or two at least. The DSP jokes are very entertaining from start to finish, great use of voice clips everywhere and funny art. Worth the 5 bucks.

I’d like the final boss to be the ghost of T returning and allying with Jaha to bully him so hard that he ropes.

Sorry if it was mentioned before but do we know who made this? I really wanna buy it but only if its from an actual tractor, not from a dent fan.

Do we know this?

The game has a 100% positive rating on Steam. The topics in the community discussion are golden!

Does it matter? Phil is gonna sperg regardless and call it defamatory. I think your morals will be safe with this one.

 

[PieceofShet]

Does it matter?

It does, for me.

 

[Warm Lasagna]

It does, for me.

I don’t think any of the trolls you have moral qualms with had any hand in this given the amount of time and skill it took to make it. Even so, this is setting a high bar for internet shit-posting and I think that alone deserves your 5 dollars for this kind of harmless, quality trolling.

The effort alone is admirable.

Developers name is Alex. Doody interviewed him today. Guy sounds Russian.

Also as an update for everyone. Today is Phil's day off, so don't expect movement. But, Doody mentioned that he has his undercover guys whispering to Phil about it. Also, Phil is doing an indie games marathon at the end of the month and opened up a community post asking for recommendations, and it's getting spammed with people telling him to play The Detractor.

 

[Collections Agent]

So when's the lawsuit?

They're taking advantage of Phil's insecurities, he can't sue unless he admits it exists

Thanks, I dont like to touch Doody but I might watch it.

DSP will never play it, probably not even mention it.

I bought the game and it's pretty fucking hilarious. I was not expecting the constant DSP one-liners - the mini games seemed dumb when I saw them on the store but they are all tasks that DSP has failed at spectacularly onscreen.

 

[AGoodBrazilian]

Very funny and with good gameplay loop. Just manage to beat young Phil with a magic build.

My honest reaction:

The game looks great, but then I read the word "roguelike" and immediately lost interest, why can't indie devs make anything new besides shitty STS and TBOI ripoffs? Why is the indie scene so creatively bankrupt?

Looking at the rest of the trailer it's also
>Punch Out
>Flappy Bird
Yep just play Punch Out and switch to Flappy Bird every now and then you'll get the same experience for free.


Feel ya.

It's "roguelike" because people like playing roguelikes. Except they don't actually, because the vast majority of "roguelikes" aren't even roguelikes. TBOI marketed itself as one because the idea was to make the least marketable game ever: a twin stick shooter / roguelike hybrid about religion. Every roguelike after that cut out most of what made TBOI half roguelike in the first place, basically the only thing it means anymore is permadeath and random loot.

My brother really likes punch out but doesn't care about lolcows and maybe a bit weirded out by them, it sounds like the game stands on its own but does it enough where a normie can enjoy?

Not really, there isn't any real depth or complexity to it, not enough to warrant spending 5 bucks anyway.

Glad I bought the game, it seems to have been deleted in an instant.

 

[Pinball 2000]

it seems to have been deleted in an instant

Can confirm. I was considering buying it, but it threw up an error message saying the game was unavailable right after I added it to my cart.

Did Phil and/or some random ween manage to get the game taken down?

 

[Balr0g]

Yeah I can't find it on Steam anymore

 

[SaintChristopher69]

Managed to download the game before it got deleted from the Steam store. It's alright. To be fair, I appreciate the amount of effort that went into making it. The game's well made, but incredibly straight forward. Worth paying for? Maybe. It's amusing how a detractor managed to outshine anything Phil's ever done with this game.
