I finished this game skim reading and pressing space and all the numericals in short order. Have no idea what just happened but it left a reasonably large crater on my oldfag soul.

Not in mine wildest dreams would i imagine that larping commies would make goty.Germans still had coolest tanks though.

i wouldn't really call za/um a bunch of 'larping commies'. besides, the game has a ton of meditation on why communism, fascism, and liberalism has failed in revachol
So larping commies that abuse argument to moderation ok got it.

lol what?

It gave me some feels too. And what's nice is that it was totally unexpected from an RPG. Or from a game at all really.

The game is really good at articulating those feelings, the mid-life crisis, feelings of getting older, regrets.

I have no idea how old the writers are but they nailed that shit, and it's to see devs tackling those kinds of issues instead of just focusing on "younger" issues so to speak. When you've played games for a long time, you kinda just expect that games are not going to affect you in any way anymore as most storyheavy games are for a younger audience. But DE completely surprised me in that sense, very cool.

Another thing I like is using double-dash in lieu of an em dash, and emphasis *like that*. Reminds me of the Usenet times.

This thread tricked me into giving the game a chance.
If it turns out to be SJW bullshit heads are going to roll. The writing better be worth it.

This is the dullest, most boring writing I have seen in a while. I can see why modern apes are impressed by these relatable platitudes but I am not.

You genuinely overrate the writing.
I remember a time where people said Witcher 3 was the best game ever written - and those were people that had played, and loved, PS:T. When I played it, them, it turned out that the writing was competent and even had a few flashes of brilliance here and there. But the comparison still was born not from a genuine love of Witcher's writing, but rather a sense of relief and happiness to be playing a decently written RPG again.
I think it's the same here.
