I just beat this game, I remember seeing another discussion thread about this game but I can't find it, but I want to talk about the game, full spoilers.

Kim points out that Harry is unnaturally good at running which he attributes to him being a gym teacher in the game. I think at least his cardio is great canonically.

>>30831 The Deserter's words hit me like a train. Him saying "It was real. I'd seen it. I'd seen it "in reality"" and the rest of that quote got me teary eyed as a newer lefty.

Yea I cry at that last (penultimate? Or is the last scene with the cops more of an epilogue? It feels there for game reasons more than story reasons) scene every time.
Not that uncommon for other arts but something for me very rare that video games have been able to achieve.

Kim is a reason-oriented individual who incorrectly believes himself to live in a mundane and explainable world, so he does tend to come up with these kind of rationalizations. Harry clearly possesses abilities beyond that of ordinary humans; he is, after all, a miracle.

I really wanted to like it. But it reminded me how much I hate reading novels.
I really had my heart set on screwing with the NPCs and wreaking havoc. But I gave up after getting lost in the bosses office.
I think I lost the game to an uncomfortable chair.

I honestly think Disco Elysium (together with Sacred and Terrible Air) might be THE defining piece of art for the neoliberal age.

It's really awful that Kurvitz et al got fucked out of their IP, and I sincerely hope they can one day get it all back, but at the same time I'm kind of fine with never getting a sequel. Le Retour will have to happen in real life.

 No.34770

the game actually flat out tells you this will happen if you pass a certain secret rhetoric check. I think the game is supposed to show that this is only a possible path the world can lead down and not set in stone.

The game teased an RCM-led insurrection against the Coalition to gain self-determination for Revachol in the future.
Should a communist Harry critikkkally support it?

It unironically takes a communist or even anarchist to fully understand the satire in the game and that's why libs of any side always come to the conclusion that it's "making fun of all sides equally and not taking a position", especially if they didn't play all routes.

I also find it amusing that the video maker rejects inframaterialism despite being a subjectivist. the world of DE runs on belief, much like Planescape. revolutionary crops do exist. you do have to kill the unbelievers. the essayist of course doesn't get the joke. long live the immortal religion of Mazov-Nielsen thought!

I'm sorry, that sucks. I feel like I might have heard that there was a bug like this but years ago, I would think it would be fixed by now. Can't really offer you any advice, you could take it as an opportunity to replay and do different choices, but you could just take a break as well until you feel like playing again.

< Mankind, be vigilant; we loved you.
That quote pretty clearly hands you the meaning of the game’s events and themes as well as the creators’ intentions behind creating Disco Elysium. It genuinely bothers me when people either don’t understand where that quote is from, or refuse to acknowledge that the quote implies that the developers are very much taking a definitive "side".

First off this game I felt was perfect for me. Love detective games, adventure games and RPGs. After reading reviews both on here and IGN it was a no brainer to buy.

I immediately didn't like the graphics. Camera is too close and the pace in which your character moves is simply annoying. Never mind, I forgave these short comings. The actual puzzle element is quite good, where the game highlights objects of interest, seen this style before and I appreciated it.

The acting is completely soulless, combined with the over complicated dialog I just couldn't put up with it. The final straw was meeting two 10 year old kids who just continuously swore, the F word, don't mind adults saying this but 10 year old kids, depressing and out of line.

This game is a depressing mess. The only positive is maybe the puzzles make some sense.

Refunded

Go to a poor area sometime, there are kids like that. Especially when you're a cop. IDK what you mean about the writing and acting, I thought it was good personally, all open to opinion though.

It's good you refunded it though since the current owners of the IP stole it.
