[Prime Junta]

Guys, this is a detective story—there’s always a dame.

The good news is, you'll finally have a girlfriend.

The even better news is, this is her:

Spoiler

Edit: Who did you expect, Emily Ratajkowski? You're a terminally alcoholic middle-aged failure with a beer belly and bad hair, let's be realistic here

Well, fuck me, I have to buy this.

How big is the map or city or whatever?

How high up are you?

Price?

 

[ERYFKRAD]

How big is the map or city or whatever?

How high up are you?

Just on top of your mom.

His mom is dead and buried. Now what?

Re-watching The Wire in preparation of this. I forgot how good season 1 is, and how annoying and contrived Ziggy is in season 2.

 

[fantadomat]

His mom is dead and buried. Now what?

He could still be on top of her. LoL in what century do you live,bigot?

Man, I hope it sells well. 36k trailer views is not encouraging...

Well, he is of Polish descent, so being annoying is kind of realistic portrayal.

Disco Elysium isn't even in the top 100 most wishlisted games on Steam, it's on page 6.
https://store.steampowered.com/search/?filter=popularwishlist&page=6
That puts it below prestigious titles such as "Farm&Fix 2020" and "Ship Builder Simulator"
I'm sure Obsidian is terrified.

rusty_shackleford, you seem a lot friendlier with that 'tron avatar.

Another Planescape: Torment in the making, 10 years later it will be a classic everybody talks about, tanked due to bad sales

That's on the publisher's (relatively unknown) channel. The same video got 111K views Obsidian's channel and 363K views on Playstation channel, not to mention videos hosted on places like IGN.

Steam followers (those who subscribed to announcements) is also useful number to look at. Disco has 9,685 followers: https://store.steampowered.com/dlc/632470/Disco_Elysium/

Encased, probably the most anticipated indie CRPG, has 15,380 followers.

(For those who about to compare these to already released CRPGs, followers usually increase greatly after the launch.)

If the game is good it will spread by word of mouth (and hyped by gaming sites).

I'm really glad everyone else here is so feeling it tho!

Are you sure you're not Sherry?

Hi.

omg. Omg! OMG!!!

Just stop okay because I am not anything like this person or an alternative I have gone through this when I first joined when people though I was a Bubbles or who-cares-what-name-they-put-here-okay? OKAY! We have always been friends since the very beginning and should know there is no reason I would ever have to make a new account, fake account, alternative account to post here you cane just ask my friends Infinitron and Underlord they have access to the logs and can share everything with you like they have a dozen times over this person is just trying to be like me but there is only one who goes around the outside okay? No one wants to see Sailor Woedica no more, they want Sherry, Sailor is chopped liver. Well if you want Sherry, this is what I will give you, a little bit of me mixed with some hard liquor. You waited this long so stop debating, I am back and on the rag and ovulating. I know that you have a job Miss Lady Error, but this RPG Codex heart is complicated!

Thanks,
Sherry

 

[Grauken]

Yeah, they have lots of great artists who *wouldn’t normally work on making video games.* Kasparov is a goddamned professor—of art, not shitposting!

Don't lack on your faith, brothers. Keep strong and persevere.

I discovered this game a short time ago thanks to you, if you continue to transmit the existence of the incline, it will spread.

 

[Adidas-Clichèd Cringe]

Yeah OK looked at this game a bit closer and allowed myself to get hyped. There is no way it will match my expectations but goddamn it does look promising. That skill tree and "thought cabinet" looked very impressive.

 

[ZVERMIX]

I'm gonna model my first char after this bad cop:

But how will you deal with those FUCKING IGUANAS?

Yeah, this gets kind of exciting. It will be either Numenera (lots of dialogue, not enough gameplay) or a real game with... lots of dialogue. I'm curious. I mean, I've waited for years for a real detective RPG, so I hold my thumbs.

Even if gameplay is lackluster, the setting and artistic "place" this is coming from make it instantly more compelling than Numenera. I like the Numenera setting but I wouldn't go to my friends and go "You've GOT to see this."

And I don't expect the gameplay to be lackluster. Dialogue-based conflicts, with visible percentages and so forth right there in the talkbox, should make for frequently engaging decisions. I hope. I hope.

I love these clothes. Now I have to play it.
