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

[vortex]

Ugh whatever ok I wishlisted the game even if you play as so an out of shape detective, the creators do seem really cool

I feel you're high demanding perfectionist as a gamer maybe even in real life.

Disco Elysium will be at EGX on October 18th: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2019/10/02/egx-2019-rezzed-sessions-friday-line-up/

4.30pm – How to make an RPG like Disco Elysium
Lead designer/writer Robert Kurvitz and writer Argo Tuulik discuss the best and worst bits of creating an original IP and turning it into a video game with a 5 year development cycle. TL;DR – it’s not very easy.

Prime Junta knows more than he admits.

Don't worry, your mother's secrets are safe with me. Charming woman, I wouldn't let her down.

Are you Kasparov's alt

 

[Prime Junta]

Are you Kasparov's alt

I'm his mother's alt

It is one million words long.

I've heard that one before. *chuckles*

 

[Kasparov]

Who ho hoa! Edgy

 

[Prime Junta]

In all fairness T:ToN did kinda ruin the "one million words" thing. Makes me wince a little.

These are good words though

 

[Infinitron]

It seems the developers have sent out preview keys. Does the preview version turn into the full version when that becomes available, or is it a different Steam app?

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

I thought you were going for edgy when you picked Disco Elysium as the name.

 

[vortex]

Then just don't say it has 'one million words'. Say it has more words than bible.

Looks like it should turn into the full version.

It will turn into the full version on October 15th.

Does it not turn into the review build before that?

nope

 

[ScrotumBroth]

Do we get an official Codex preview piece Infi?

We already have somebody picked to do a review (no, it's not Prime Junta). Don't see much point in "previewing" a game that's coming out in less than two weeks. But maybe we can use the preview build to save some time.

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

I get a citation needed and he gets a brofist? A great injustice has been done here. One that can only be righted with blood.



Edit: Infinitron has righted this, but now Zombra is on the shitlist. A hard rain is going to fall, Zombra. A hard rain of sweat dripping off of a hairy beer belly of an out-of-shape detective. Prepare yourself.

Cant wait to spend 0.1 hours on it again i bet

 

[Jenkem]

infinitron let slip in shoutbox that he is actually going to play outer worlds so more like 0.0 hours

This is like a movie bragging that it has a million lines or more lines than the bible. No movie ever does this, and for a good reason.

 

[Morgoth]

I've heard that one before. *chuckles*

Rrrrrrrrong. It's ~980k words. And then some. By how much though is for you to find out, detective.

Why the we of majesty ? You are probably the only one still doing stuff here, the owner is cruising in the vast australian wasteland in a suv and under heavy medication.

Yes, because when you're watching a movie you don't really get to choose what lines are being said by the characters and who says them nor how the story progresses, so a movie can't be good by virtue of the quantity of dialogue by itself, if the dialogue isn't of quality.

In a Roleplaying game that emphasises on C&C and player freedom however, the number of words can be a bragging point since it indicates that the game might offer alot of dialogue options for the player, a lot of C&C or a vast world filled with characters to explore.

The comparaison with movies just seems misplaced.
