the kinda kick you get saving and reloading :/

I don't. Do you?

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

Dude, I died multiple times in the first ten minutes.

The risk of death from passively clicking on the dialogue tree will definitely make my adrenaline shoot through the roof.

 

[fantadomat]

If there is stats,then it is rpg.

so STALKER is a rpg now?

Well fallout 3&4 are RPGs



So why not a far better game.

It's disrespectful to Kasparov and all the contributing members of the games development.

Oh! Never mind me! I’m having the time of my life here.

Can we please stop arguing what is an RPG? Let sleeping autists lie.

you call this non-RPG a RPG, you give it an official "RPG"Codex review, you leave it in the "RPG" discussion forum; I have the same problem with Disco Elysium in RPGCodex that I do with men in women's bathrooms.

Do you often frequent women's bathrooms?

Maybe you should go to the men’s room instead. Saves you the discomfort.

 

[barghwata]

aka, save and reload until the dice roll in your favor

Which is unheard-of in combat-heavy RPGs.

there's a difference between dice rolls in turn based combat and dice rolls in situations

underrail for example, has both, because that's a real RPG

What is the difference really? wherever there are dice rolls, you can save scum your way to victory but if you do it it's kinda your problem, and it's not just plain dice rolls by the way, appearently your decisions and dialogue choices in DE can either make some dice rolls easier or harder once they show up, and there can be some bad consequences to failing certain dice rolls so there are situations where you have to decide if you want to take a risk with certain skill checks or find another way to solve the problem, which is the same type of risk management you see in turn based combat games that use dice rolls.

take Kentucky Route Zero out of the sig, bud, that game was fucking shit

just looking out for the successful launch of Disco, don't want people finding out and it all coming to ruin

now a game inspired purely by PST... that's incline

Then where am I going to see all these cute girls? Instead I get men in drag.

Hey now, KRZ is a supremely nongame

 

[fantadomat]

Latro ,mate,your views on RPG are pretty outdated lol. Get in with the times mate,don't be a bigot. If we have this gem as a RPG,then we could have disco communism!!!

I quit at some point, but if I'd suffered through, I too would be too embarrassed to say I didn't realise it before the endpoint

ok, it had a good score

Season 5 isn't out yet.

don't worry, you got a very amusing death. now just reload and try again.

Yes,i was really butthurt about that shit,but got mocked away by half the codex. Too many sjw retards have infiltrated the codex.

 

[just]

back in my days we were fighting in video games not clicking on menus
fucking kids and their skill checks and branching dialogs

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

Keep a point or two in reserve even so, in case you get an unlucky roll tho.

Age of Decadence confirmed, hype reaching critical mass.

Spoiler

The mindfuck way was very satisfying. I had to impress her daughter with my mad detection skills, then convince her I was an expert in the paranatural capable of dispelling the Curse of Financial Distress affecting her business. I was left with the feeling that I might actually be an expert in the paranatural capable of dispelling curses... Kim was less certain though.

So maybe the main plot of Disco is that you're a yithian and the detective's massive hangover fucked up the process of swapping his mind with your own so now you've just gotta roll with it as you gradually remember what you really are? Oh boy!

For some of us, a repetitive number optimization system as the central mechanic is primary, indeed essential, to what it means to be an RPG.

For others, it's substantial decision making in character/party building, and equally substantial impact of those decisions on how challenges are resolved.

Note that one of these may be a subset of the other, but the reverse is not true.

[fantadomat]

Worst of all would be having a nuanced opinion

I tried having a nuanced opinion once. Now I'm Communist.

For that i respect you mate .

 

[Grauken]

First sentence in Steam description:

Disco Elysium is a groundbreaking open world role playing game.

Case closed!

So you're telling me to accept their pronouns! Figures! Only people who could accept me as women could accept Disco E. as a RPG!

Latro coming out as a woman surprises no one, but we are very tolerant on the codex

I... I just had a breakthrough

My favourite game isn't, in fact, a RPG. It's... it's... Kerbal Space Program... which is... a bunch of crude graphics built around a repetitive number optimisation system

I think I need to go lie down
