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

Fifth area could be forest further into the mainland.

here's a marketing strategy
slip to resetera that you can rp as a fascist
very problematic, twitter crusade in 3sec, moments later you're on reddit -> tons of free exposure.
to fuel shit even further put that trans flag in. then remove it. than put it back in.
thats like 1 week of top reddit posts, 4 kotaku articles and 200 page threads on various forums.

Do people really care about this stuff? Maybe a handful of social media consumers.
For a lot of people this is just a noise in the information pool.

"If I can't play a character who represents my specific political and/or social philosophy I'm gonna cry" Hmmmm, where have I heard this before?

The fifth area will be ratrdera!

 

[CappenVarra]

i'll buy this just for the unique opportunity to play an addict loser that still manages to win the day (and the interest-piqueing character/inventory system)

 

[fantadomat]

Will it have quick saves,or is it checkpoint based ?

 

[just]

handcrafted unique quick saves

 

[fantadomat]

I do hope that all the racism/nazies in the game are not the typical sjw garbage of "muh nazies bad" and actually let you roleplay as one. soo Kasparov which one is it?

What I think about nazis and what you can do in the game are two different things.

Bold words, but we shall see.

On a different tack, I tend to agree with Citizen, Citizen, and Citizen: Your PR material is a little too self-congratulatory, verging on autofellatio—though falling well short of John Romero levels of ego, since you're only sucking your own cocks, and not proclaiming that everyone else should do the sucking for you.

Robert Kurvitz is about to make you his bitch. Suck it down.

It looks like a friend of mine,the difference is that my friend have black hair. Tho he is also communist.

That reminds me, can people who only care about barbecue and beer fully express themselves in this gaem?

my dude did you take a look at the protagonist's body

You sound like a star citizen cultist mate. Chill, a simple question won't destroy the game for you. Ahhh people like you do know how to poison a conversation.

This game is gonna break new ground, I can't wait. This might become my new favorite CRPG. So many roleplaying opportunities and neat mechanics.

 

[Abu Antar]

The reason I'll buy this is that it seems different enough to give a try. This doesn't have much to do with potential quality, though. It could be hit or miss. Still, it's worth giving a shot.

Also, I did check based on one of my previous comments. I have bought anything day one or at full price in 2019. Probably the reason why I have managed to reduce the size of my backlog significantly.

 

[frajaq]

I'm curious about how the benefits/penalties of low skill values work, do they have separate checks for them?

A low Half Light, strangely enough, makes you both less aggressive and less afraid. In a way braver.

Have too little of Empathy and you turn into an ungainly beast who is unable to read basic social circumstances and may or may not be forced to become a virulent… well, let’s just say, you may not have as much control over some of your politics as you’d like.

Authority is perhaps the craziest skill to have little of. Yell at teenagers, start crying while you’re angry, verbally abuse your partner to no avail.

 

[Oreshnik Missile]

I was going to not buy this game because it seemed overambitious/pretentious, but if I don't like it, I can get endless enjoyment ranting about it on Codex so it's a win-win situation.

 

[PrK]

Your PR material is a little too self-congratulatory, verging on autofellatio—though falling well short of John Romero levels of ego, since you're only sucking your own cocks, and not proclaiming that everyone else should do the sucking for you.

It shows extreme confidence and that is admirable, and if their claims are even half true they should find a way to one-up Romero, this game is going to be a classic one way or another.

 

[Deleted Member 16721]

A classic indeed. I'm incredibly hyped for it, and it will be fun comparing stories from a bunch of different cops on the forum.

 

[frajaq]

hope its possible to be a real piece of shit violent cop like Vic Mackey

 

[Deleted Member 16721]

I just want to be an alcoholic, drug-using weirdo schizo prophet for some coming of aliens cult and I'll be happy. Drugs, booze, women (you get a girlfriend at the start, right?), and weird personality traits.

 

[Tigranes]

The real question is if you can totally avoid being a drunk miserable fuck, because it seems pretty well baked in

True. I imagine they made a clean-cut run, though, if you use the right stats and personality traits, you can probably avoid the miserable personality IMO.

 

[Kasparov]

Drugs, booze, women (you get a girlfriend at the start, right?)

Right.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Which stat is the barbarian stat?

 

[Jenkem]

this game sounds like it will be too long with walls of text and tons of bloat. will ultimately be a chore.

 

[frajaq]

most of the Physique ones
