However it also feels pretty Zizek / Fisher -pilled, with the defeatism and the "easier to see the end of the world than the end of capital" mentality. Hell, the aforementioned pork openly says when you tell her that you want to end capital that "You needn't worry, it is already falling, however its fall will bring no one any happiness (or at least something to that extent)". I guess there is still a lot of the game left, and maybe it will change this first impression though.

Alright, I finished the game a few weeks ago and let it sit for a bit. Here is my review of it. In general, I really enjoyed it. The claims of it being a graphical novel are in some ways correct. The only "real" gameplay here is managing your stats, time and moving around. However I wouldn't say it doesn't deserve being called a game for it. It reminded me a lot of Torment: Tides of Numenera, which also had practically no gameplay, as, at least in my case, I only had 3 short combats in that game, while everything else was dialogue. But back to DE. So, if the gameplay is practically unexistant, how is the writing and story? Well, it delivers in spades. The universe is very well fleshed out, showing that there is a massive and well developed world beyond the tiny district that you get to explore. It has a unique geopolitical situation, which seems like a mix between the interwar period and modern day, its own cultures, history, mythology, different technology from that of the real world while still looking like 1956, and even a unique world, which isn't necessarily a planet . The main plot is great too. Quite early on a phrase gets dropped in a dialogue: "everything is connected with everything". This really is the case. I am pretty sure that almost every little tidbit of information you encounter in the game will eventually get tied up neatly, even small, at first thought not really important, bits of dialogue. Writing it self is wonderful, with the many internal conversations with your different personalities being the best of it. I fully recommend this game to everyone who can be bothered to basically spend 40-60 hours reading the game. With all of that however, I do have one big criticism of the game. I am spoilering this part. It is the main character, or rather the fact that there is a main character. Let me explain. Towards the end of the game I found out that I was playing, well, more correctly RP'ing, completely wrong. When I first started playing, I thought that I was intended to be my real self, stuck in a strange situation: finding myself in a body of another, someone who was quite definitely fucked up, even insane, with his mind fractured into many different personalities. Now, he died, and for some reason I came into his place, with none of his memories, but all of his problems and his fractured mind being the only thing that can assist me in this strange situation. Hence I went on as myself, tried to make the best that I can of this situation and maybe understand what is going on. However I was completely wrong. The man didn't go away, and I was not supposed to be playing as myself, I was supposed to be playing as him. However, I didn't feel no connection to him. Whatever that happened, what he did in the past, no longer exists, it was wiped of by the memory loss. So when the game wants to pull my heart strings with the story of Harry's life it falls flat, I don't care about his wife, it is in the past, and it should stay there. Then the game starts pulling shit like "ooh, you talk in dialogue trees because your character is actually autistic and that is how he talks" or trying to imply that you picked your ideology, be it communist, fascist, centrist or whatever only as a coping mechanism after splitting up with the one you love. I can only roll my eyes, since it was ME that chose these options, not Harry. /rant

The skill system also integrates really well with the story, and the story itself has actual vision and is very relevant for our times (especially for people like us). The ending also worked really well for me - and it didn't feel that rushed, maybe because I waited to complete all the sidequests before staring at the wall - everything just fell into place. Most of the rave reviews are probably just buying into the hype, and I totally get why some would dislike it, but I really think this game is on another level.

I didn't see anything that would indicate I was somehow playing a different person than Harry, and there are several points throughout the game where he is confronted with the actual memories and traumas of his past, not just the actions of some past him, and this can also be seen from the quotes in the thought cabinet. The ending was just the culmination of that, not some shocking twist. This isn't Planescape. You read it wrong, that's not the game's fault.

Anonymous Comrade 2020-12-21 (Mon) 05:16:53 No. 2390
>>2389 Since we're x-posting, here was my take on the game being leftist:
>I don't think it's "resigned" in any way. I see it more as a portrait of the neoliberal era. The revolution failed, capitalism and apathy reigns supreme, communism is nothing but a fashion symbol, and everything is slowly falling apart. But underneath that there's a conflict brewing that might one day spark a new revolution. It's extremely leftist, more so than a lot of supposedly leftist games which are sometimes paraded around here. Just because the game doesn't say "communism good" doesn't make it non-leftist, and vice-versa. >I think what i mean is that it has a more nuanced and grounded view on communism than what is expected of a "leftist" game. It puts in no uncertain terms that communism was a massive failure that lead to immense suffering - in one of the first conversations you have about communism, you are literally told "communism is about failure". But even so it is the only hope we have left, and something that should be striven towards, because the only other option is to give up. A quote from one of the thoughts you can unlock sums this up well <How *not* to lose? It is impossible not to. The world is balanced on the edge of a knife. It’s a game of frayed nerves. You’re pushed on by numbers and punitive measures: pain, rejection, and unpaid bills. You can either play or you can crawl under a boat and waste away – turn into salt or a flock of seagulls. Your enemies would *love* that. Or you can fight. The only way to load the dice is to keep on fighting.
In short, the game isn't leftist because it favours communism or portrays it sympathetically, but because it addresses a very leftist issue: Coping with the failure of communist revolutions and keeping the flame alive in a crumbling late-capitalist society.

I almost got locked out of it because I kicked out the ravers, because I thought that would lead to letting the programmer do her work in the church alone and figure out the mystery. But she can't figure out the mystery if the ravers and her don't work together, which I thought was a really weird and unintuitive choice by the devs. Glad I restarted from an old save. I wouldn't consider it a complete playthrough if you don't solve that mystery tbh. It reminds me of the existential dread we are faced with from climate change today, idk if that was an intentional metaphor or not.
Also another cool detail about that is that the portrait for Inland Empire looks like what Joyce describes about the world. This game is full of neat shit like that. Lots of love clearly went into it.

Comrade 2020-12-21 (Mon) 05:18:14 No. 3043
So what genre would the setting of DE be? It clearly has fantastical elements with the Pale, however they are very down to earth. Also the technology is quite clearly different than that of our own 20th century, yet no more advanced, basically a "sidegrade" to what we have. So is there a genre for something like this? I know there is the "weird fiction" term, but it seems rather wide, so I was wondering if a more concrete term exists. I mainly ask because I am myself trying to brainstorm a setting that, while different in tone and story, would take a very similar approach to the world - a huge fantastical change from reality, and then an examination of sorts of how would this change things in a realistic way for the society, how would it develop, look relate to itself etc.

They skill system is also an amazing mechanic, especially since if you have some stats much higher than the others it really does define your character since those parts of your mind will talk more and more than the others.

I saw this on /v/ of all places a while ago and found it surprisingly insightful>The Pale didn't exist in the Insulindian isola before humanity arrived, because the Pale is made up of the collective detritus of human thoughts and memories. This also explains why the Pale is expanding: history isn't getting any smaller, and everyone is constantly thinking about what happened before. >A lot of this game is about the past: Harry is so wrapped up regretting his ex that he drank himself into amnesia, anybody who has anything to say about politics just talks about a revolution from fifty years ago, and the real killer is a soldier from the revolution who never stopped fighting. The existence of the Pale tells us that being obsessed with the past is going to doom us. The game points to art as being an answer in two different places: it seems like the anodic music that the ravers play in the church tames the Pale somewhat, and the first successful voyage into the Pale only returned because they adopted a "psychological regime imitating the creation process of poetry," but I think more generally what the game means to say is: The only way to survive the Pale is to focus on creating something new.

Pretty good game, but I wish it had more content. I know it wasn't trying to be a huge grandiose tale like your typical RPG but the main plot still felt a little short.

I think your post is basically correct. Disco Elysium is clearly a game about finding a way to keep going after failure, not embracing desistance. These are two very different things. As you mention, the conversation with the phasmid is arguably the key scene for the entire game. The point is that humans are capable of tremendous, terrifying things, and this is where we can find hope even after failing miserably, again and again. Hence "you are a violent and irrepressible miracle". The only way to see the game as an apologia for pessimism is by ignoring this scene altogether.
It's crazy to me that anyone could play a game that is transparently an allegory for Eastern Europe after the fall of communism (although, obviously, with plenty of details from other places and historical moments mixed in) and think the point is to just accept all the misery as it is.

I dont really understand how this game got branded as "reddit." Obviously people throw the term around for anything they dont like, and reddit likes a lot of pseud shit with childish "dark" themes and 2smart4u humor, but you'd have to be extremely cynical to play this game and think that describes it. Overall its very unpretentious and has absolutely exceptional writing for a video game, and it is funny, that doesnt make it "epic" or "reddit." Yeah it's a lot of reading and conceptual stuff, it's not for everybody, but not everybody needs to play it. Everything it tries to do it does well.

Only the communists seemed interested in doing something new. Evart and his Union were doing socialism the syndicalist way, instead of the party way like Mazov.

But, apart from some lore on moralism (which doesn't really add much) and getting that they are men with 3000 years plan, there is no grand catharsis or anything.
I liked Communist quest and matchbox tower/comment on "belief in a better future" much better.

>>8928 In retrospect, I was quite literally spooked and absorbed into the atmosphere. It’s nothing really special, but yeah the communist one was nice

>>8841 The average /v/ user couldn't handle the emotional toll of playing the game because they saw too much of themselves in Gary and the Racist Lorry Driver.

Am I the only one who hated the ending? It's supposed to be a murder mystery (at least that's why I bought it) and it turned out your detecting skills were for naught, the murders is some literally who who isn't even connected to anything in the plot at all.

>>9050 Nah, it seems like the endings wasn't connected to anything. It's a true detective story if you can't at least attempt to deduce it yourself.

>>9081 I just think it's a really fascinating concept; surprised that (afaik) no-one has come up with it before.

>>9083 Also "releasing radioactive waste into River Esperance" has to be at least partially inspired by the West Lake Landfill in St Louis? It's pleasantly surprising to see potential Midwestern influence in a game like this. I'm imagining an alternative future St Louis where a "People's Pile" was formed on the centennial of the 1877 General Strike, lol

Just finished it. Found the ending parts very disappointing tbh. Was pretty fun the whole way through, left kind of disapointed though.brocialism Brocialism

>>2314 I finished this game for the first time a week or so ago, it was really great, played through with my BF and enjoyed it thoroughly.
I can only emphasise the other good stuff people have said in this topic about it, I will say that I was expecting there to be more combat (since there's pretty much none) but I'm not disappointed in what ended up happening.
I found the bit with the phasmid at the end to be really beautiful, also. Anonymous 2021-09-01 (Wed) 20:04:35 No. 12030

What was the meaning of infra-materialism? Is it about how trying to abolish class, can feel like trying to abolish the laws of physics or is it just pocking fun at Lysenkoism?

>>13195 infra-materialism is very idealist. but on the other hand Elysium runs on magic to an extent, so it's maybe not as stupid as it seems at first glance
