Disco Elysium Pre-Release Thread [GO TO NEW THREAD]

[lobsterfrogman]

I must say that I am very butthurt that Twitch bourgeoisie gets to play the game earlier and working class has to wait.

 

[Haba]

God damn that is a whole lot of talking and reading.

 

[tripedal]

Why would you spoil yourself by watching someone else play it?

Because of high hype level and a failed volition check.

 

[Butter]

It's just a week. Take some quaaludes and wait it out.

 

[Quillon]

k, I'm sold, won't watch it no 'mo, bring on the 15th.

 

[Kyl Von Kull]

these people need to be tagged as shills, they're shameless

Christ, can you believe these people? They actually have the temerity to like a CRPG and post about it on a CRPG forum—the nerve! Obviously, Disco Elysium is the most pernicious communist conspiracy since the fluoridation of water. Codex must purge them. It’s the only way to preserve our precious bodily fluids and maintain purity of essence. Someone get Peter Sellers in here immediately.

I am not exaggerating when I say this is the worst thing the reds have done since they killed the poor Romanovs, a blameless family that died for our sins, right Jenkem? (Seriously, though, what the fuck is with this Romanov fixation? Practically everyone else the Bolsheviks killed is more deserving of sympathy than the goddamned royal family. If you’re an absolute monarch and you want your kids to live a nice, long life, all you have to do is refrain from making a series of increasingly catastrophic decisions that ultimately end in state failure. Even the Habsburgs, the most inbred of Europe’s royalty, managed to pull that off).

Seriously, though, the game is great. Maybe this is incomprehensible to some of you after years of broken Kickstarter dreams, but it’s true. If you loved the sound of the pitch, you will probably love Disco Elysium—truth in advertising, bitches. They were originally talking about a late 2016 release, then they spent three more years polishing and expanding the game. It paid off. You can see for yourselves in a week.

tl;dr Kingmaker was actually good, ATOM was actually good, Disco Elysium is fucking great. If you don’t believe me, you may be a pissf****t.

I would also remind you that this wasn't a Kickstarter, nor anything funded by giant capitalist machines turning out safe anonymised paste.

In fact, their very first marketing move was to contact RPG Codex. And they were lucky enough to get me!

 

[Quillon]

I would also remind you that this wasn't a Kickstarter,

Being a Kickstarter is a state of mind.

 

[Prime Junta]

BTW, I just went back to page 1 of this thread. It's a good read, really chronicles the evolution of the game since June, 2016.

Why would you spoil yourself by watching someone else play it?

They are playing in completely different way *I* would play. And I doubt I'll be replaying it seven times.

CohhCarnage is today ?

This began an hour ago:

 

[Nifft Batuff]

your gf will be very important to the story

I don't remember any other rpgs that start you with a girlfriend... that is interesting....and fresh.

P:T

 

[Berekän]

I don't want to spoil myself, someone please watch the stream and tell me why it's going to be shit before I get any more hyped.

 

[Efe]

watch just a little portion..
what i have seen so far looks like nutorment without combat.. very CYOAish

 

[Taka-Haradin puolipeikko]

I don't want to spoil myself, someone please watch the stream and tell me why it's going to be shit before I get any more hyped.

Its going to be shit because it will teach you a facial expression, that's *for the ladies*, which will get you killed if you ever use it.

CohhCarnage is today ?

This began an hour ago:

Jesus Christ, that guy chose 1/1 for both psyche and physique. Apparently he died twice already.

 

[frajaq]

he killed himself after trying and failing to punch a child

 

[The Fish]

I just checked in on that Cohh Carnage stream and his reactions to the race theories cracked me up, this is already a top game in my view.

 

[Lithium Flower]

Holy shit, Cohn got so uncomfortable when presented with Measurehead's advanced race theory.

 

[Deflowerer]

nor anything funded by giant capitalist machines

That's where you're wrong, kiddo.

Given the political leanings of the guy who's money they managed to get, I'm quite surprised tho.

 

[Lithium Flower]

The non-linearity seems pretty impressive. He wandered into the harbor and talked to the union boss before ever reporting into the station, so when the boss brought up his missing gun he was unprepared and ended up having a fucking mental breakdown in the boss' office.

 

[Prime Junta]

Volition 1 didn’t help I’m sure.

[asterix]

I love all the little idle animations of people tapping fingers on desks and twirling in chairs. Add so much character.

Also bonus points for giving the crime scene kids the chaviest, most annoying accents.
