Incline Disco Elysium - The Final Cut - a hardboiled cop show isometric RPG

[Egosphere]

Somehow you're overlooking that your fancy combat systems all boil down to pretty much the same: a bunch of rolls with some modifiers to decide the outcome. A stats' game. Yet it's DE who's worse here? Now, that's the real joke here.

I move a piece of plastic in snakes and ladders, so it's really just the same thing as chess..

Is your problem a fact that chess is chess and not Blood Bowl?

I don't have a problem. I'm just calling a spade, a spade. DE doesn't have a combat system. Trying to pretend that DE isn't 'worse here' is just wild.

I love how this thread just goes in circles on end and antiDisco faggots still repeat same braindead arguments

Worse than other cRPGs (as in: it's considered not to be a cRPG). It has a system the decides the outcomes. The same system that applies to both combat and non-combat, so... *Harthwain shurgs* ...it's a cRPG. It's obviously not as good as a dedicated combat game/cRPG, but it has combat, so claiming it doesn't is just false. This means calling it CYOA is false as well.

It is fully an RPG, those combatfags are just buttblasted because they think we want every RPG to be the same for some reason.

I’m very tempted to play a crazy drunkard who destroys bird statues because “the bird bitch had it coming”, but I’m enjoying playing it straight and trying to find out wtf is happening, too.

What makes it effectively different from other "proper" combat modes though? It's less fluid (just a single 2D roll) and less flashy than seeing actual combat animations in action, but other than that? Either you succeed or not.

Now this is some far-out mental gymnastics routine. Spin it around all you like, "yes or no" does not equate to an RPG combat system. Abstract reasoning pushed to it's full extent does not equate to practical reality.

You can create a very detailed set of rules designed specifically for combat, but at this point it's all about details. The fundamental reason for having arithmetic is choice resolution, and that can be achieved even with something very simplistic and holistic.

The humor in this game is right up my alley. 5/5 on that front. I come down on the "more adventure game or visual novel than RPG" side, but the amount of interaction you get with the various personality types is pretty awesome.

What I'm curious about currently if they still will be posting here, now that they are much more popular and have a foot in with the game journos. I have noticed when popularity and success increase, most will leave Codex in the dust.

Hey Kasparov, are you gonna stick around now that you're famous?

Sure. I'm on a very long sabbatical from gamedev at this moment, but I drop by the forums every now and then. Soon after launch it became impractical to try and stay up-to-date with the discussion unfolding here in real time.

Then i take it that the second game will be made by a bunch of nazies.

Kasparov with all the rage around the acceptance speech, are you not afraid that the adoring "fans" will start searching your posts here at Codex to implicate that you are agreeing with the most extreme ... denizens of these forums?

Nothing important. Some salty comments on Kotaku when they reported on Helen giving Marx and Engels a shout out in the acceptance speech.

Somebody extracted the Disco script and trained an AI on it, then put it on Twitter. It's surprisingly good.
