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

[Prime Junta]

If anyone cares about my skin in the game, well, I really have none. The game has blown me away and I wanted to share my enthusiasm for it in a friendly way.

I believe Fluent. He is a troll, but I do believe he loves everything he plays with.

I'd miss him if he left. We need him to do justice to the usual Codexians who hate everything they play with (and play it anyway).

I agree,Fluent is weird,but i don't dislike him. It will be shame if he fucks off or dies from overdose.

So game releases on october 15 but Cohh will play and maybe finish it in the week prior?

I don't think it's feasible to release something into the wild and then tell them they're only allowed to show a part of it.

There were no limit when he started streaming Deadfire 3 days early, besides Kasparov rated my post

. Guess the game has wild replayablity and/or they need the publicity, understandable

Also if Cohh writes "X game starts on Y date", it's always full playtrough from what I've seen.

It was done before on Cohh's stream multiple times.

whether or not it is incline is remain to be seen, all the people praising this game right now are bootlickers who were given free copies. if you take their opinion seriously, then I don't know what to tell you

We have tried this conversation via shoutbox (if you recall, it concluded with you calling me a Jewish agitator because I asked you a question you didn't want to answer, which to be fair is some quite advanced race theory) so I'm aware that its a wonderfully Sisyphean ordeal but I'm bored so let's try again. You say that your opinion of the game - which was, by your own admission, once positive - changed once a few people who received preview copies started posting their positive impressions of it

If we must dismiss all the information we get from people who had access to free copies of the game (which is, by the way, pretty much all pre-release information on any game ever), shouldn't this mean that our judgement should remain unaffected, meaning we should act as if we had no information on the game at all? Why go the extra step and suggest piracy - unless piracy is the default for you? (No judgement there if so, mind.) Besides, discounting info from people with pre-release copies would only leave us with info from the developers who, unlike Fluent and Junta and the rest, stand to directly profit from the game doing well, so shouldn't we treat their information with even more scrutiny than that of preview players? Then how come your original perception of the game was more positive when what you had available was the dev info sans the logically more trustworthy fanboi info?

That is not to say that I think Prime Junta shouldn't have disclosed his involvement in development earlier, even if it was very limited and - crucially, I think - uncompensated. I think if you like a game there is nothing wrong with promoting it. With enough zeal you might end up doing it in a hyperbolic or obnoxious way (as our friend Fluent is sometimes prone to, sadly) or you may even end up misrepresenting the game either intentionally or unintentionally, but anyone can do this for any game regardless of having played it or not. It seems strange that such actions would sabotage one's enjoyment of or willingness to purchase the game. Personally I think a line gets crossed when people who stand to financially benefit from the game end up misrepresenting it and there is no evidence that this is being done here. Again, I think if anything Kurvitz' words promising roughly 60 hours for an average playthrough and such should be taken with more scrutiny than anything Fluent or Prime Junta wrote.

I am probably more hyped for the game than I should be, granted. The concept always appealed to me and I love pretty much every preview I have seen thus far. My biggest concern is whether the density and reactivity of the game persists in its middle and final acts or if it ends up feeling rushed/diluted. I am not against the skepticism of your conclusion - its your reasoning I find entirely incoherent. Like yo, fam, if you just wrote "eh fuckit I'll pirate this one" then I wouldn't have even raised an eyebrow, but your justification that seems like a flimsy rationalization to me. Remember any action is righteous as long as its willed ok

Keep those ONE MILLION WORDS inside Disco Tedium where they belong, not spilled out over the forum in an ocean of butthurt.

For some reason, when I create a new character and pick up the right shoe from the balcony, it doesn't get added to my inventory. I started a couple of new games, they all failed to register me picking it up. When I tried an earlier save file of my first character, it worked properly...

Am I to forever wear only the left shoe, while the right one is stuck in perpetual limbo, never reuniting with its pair?!

Sooo euroslav buggy mess incoming?
Or just a misstep along the way?

 

[Kev Inkline]

Dunno if this was answered earlier ITT, but why is the reference/quote to Codex removed from ZAUM website? Damage control already?

 

[fantadomat]

Sooo i have question guys. Is those attribute voices a psychological thing or is it a supernatural element?

Bug in new build? The first preview build was really clean.

Run that motherfucking test suite before hitting the "Publish" button ZA/UM, that's what it's there for. Now is not the time to start cutting corners when cutting releases no matter what deadline you're under, damn it. If you need me to yell at some producer about it, call me.

Sure thing dude, I will promise to stop trying to engage people in the fine art of intellectual internet deb8 when I'm bored if you promise to stop going on rants about lizard men and "the coloreds" every time your anti-psychotics run out ok

What if that secret 5th area is actually Limbo Elysium (underworld in greek mythology) and you'll find your shoe there.

I found my shoe. Maybe you're just too myopic?

are you sure it's not just going directly on your feets?

From what I understand they are all psychological. Some may end up giving you some supernatural information that isn't conventionally available, but they're all internalized. Could be wrong though.

 

[Deleted Member 16721]

And so far we don't know if the game features supernatural elements. It's hinted at, or sometimes implied a bit, and there are a few weird things that can be explained by mental illness, but it keeps you guessing, sort of like a Lynch movie.

 

[Prime Junta]

The Pale and its effects on people who regularly traverse it is pretty damned supernatural as far as I'm concerned.

Spoiler

Also I'm really curious about that book on Fascist magic.

Interesting.

Is The Pale the dream world? Otherwise I haven't found it yet.

It sounds to me like Disco Elysium will explain away all typically eastern game bugs with ". . . it was always intended to be that way. . . it's a feature." Meanwhile, you're still questioning if your required quest item disappeared as a part of an actual quest line element or is an actual bug. But maybe, just maybe, it is your codexian mental illness and you need only to take your drugs meds; the shoe was actually there all along. There is no spoon. You'll never really know. Jokes on you.

 

[Prime Junta]

If ever there was a game you can legitimately play through wearing only one green crocodile-leather shoe, this is it.

why are you trying so hard to get a fanboy tag?
