Decline Now that the dust has settled, can we admit that Disco Elysium is decline?

[Zer0wing]

I don't see Maxim Gorky in the list of their inspirations. Too based for current fucking year?

It's written really well. I found it screamingly funny at times. It's a good little visual novel. It's not worth the asking price, imo, but I got it for free from a buddy of mine to review for accessibility purposes.

It's not as ham-fisted as some here would like to believe though. Speaks more to how ham-fisted other messages in other games are than this game's "subtlety" though.

Also, who gives a shit what genre it is? It's an entertainment product. There. Done. Now talk about it, not what to call it.

 

[Junmarko]

It's decline in the same way Dear Esther is decline.

Dear Esther is genre-fluid, bigot.

Also, who gives a shit what genre it is?

Asking this question on the RPG Codex lol.

Yeah, I know but I mean who, out there in the big wide world of not-here, really gives a shit about something that deep in the weeds?

Only Suppressive Persons, and they must be dealt with.

At the rate she's going with ignoring users. There is going to be no one left for her to reply to or put on her ignore list.

Soon.

Thats the only thing that matters about DE, since its not that bad for a game but if you start calling it RPG then whole RPG genre is doomed because everyone will start releasing dialogue based games without actual gameplay and call them RPG's

Some people are obviously butthurt that we made Disco Elysium GOTY 2019 in the unofficial poll. Soon we'll do the same in the official one, and then at the nearest opportunity we will place DE in the RPG Codex list of best 100 RPGs ever.

Well GOTY of 2019 is not that much of an achievement tbh so no-one will care its Disco. RPG ? Nah.

True, the Codex generally has shit taste. DOS2 GOTY 2017? Come on people. It's about as prestigious as the Nobel Peace Prize at this point, except without the money.

 

[Atchodas]

So who should have won GOTY 2017 according to you ?

Anyway my point was that 2019 does not have much of competition (same as 2017) and DE is probably the best game on that list anyway

Also some guy on other thread was right diehard DE fanboys are really really touchy ... aka

 

[Roguey]

Tides of Numenera (admittedly Junta wouldn't prefer this)

ELEX! and Grimoire were the Risen and Knights of the Chalice to D:OS2's DA:O that year.

Tides of Numenera, obviously.

Agreed

What's wrong with role-playing a leftist?

"Roleplaying" is for fags. You should go for whatever gives the most plusses.

(and unless you're high up the party nomenklatura, leftism does not).

 

[Zer0wing]

It was a shitty year in gaming but even in 2017 there were better games:

Grimoire (epic meme journey coming to an end as an actual game)
Nier Automata (nothing "J" in this action-rpg so it counts)
South Park: The Fractured But Whole
Horizon Zero Dawn has better more consistent gameplay

ELEX!

I see you are a man of counterculture and will praise any turd just be different and harvest "prestigious" ratings. Pathetic.

 

[AwesomeButton]

That is what I meant when I said tryhards.

So difficult being on the Codex these days - you don't know if hating DE is cool or liking DE is cool. You just need a clear answer to this question, and it's not like you're going to actually play it.

Dorito Pope Awards are far more prestigious.

I'm just contributing to the ELEX meme. I've never played it nor D:OS 2. It's possible I'd like OS 2 better.

There are years when it should not be awarded at all.

Well now you are just being retarded for the sake of being retarded

 

[Atchodas]

Agreed, like year of 2019 when some visual novel won it.

on other hand DOS2 winning 2017 GOTY makes perfect sense since all other games on that list were strictly inferior to it in every way maybe excluding Pray which is a shooter game in the end.

You could make a poll what was the best game and a poll how you would rate the 5 best games from 1 to 10.

 

[AwesomeButton]

D:OS2 is complete shit. To be asking "which should have been Codex RPGOTY that year" when you have something like Battle Brothers merely labels you as a dumbfuck who doesn't like RPGs, and is probably oblivious to that fact too.

 

[Zer0wing]

Battle Brothers

Slipped from the mind because it's listed on Steam in Strategies, is this really that good?

since all other games on that list were strictly inferior to it in every way maybe excluding Pray which is a shooter game in the end.

>A shooter game in the end
>RPG Codex GOTY

Well now you are just being retarded for the sake of being retarded

No U
