So, TIME thinks we are closing the 2010s in 2 weeks. Interesting.

Wrong, but interesting.

Darth Roxor points at Disco Elysium's lack of combat as a major reason for why it won GOTY awards. That can't be ruled out, but I don't think I saw many journos really explicitly make the point that they were rewarding the game for not having combat. They just said they thought the writing and concept were really really good. In theory, they might have felt the same even if the game had some combat in it.

You must really want that sweet sweet ELEX first hand scoop, because it's rare to see Jewish people lawyering so hard. <3

Ahhhh the game does have combat even if it is the text based type.

Surely we've never seen reviewers giving good reviews to something that thas gotten good reviews from others. And surely there is no evidence of "collusion" between reviewers either.

But the fact remains - DE is a great game. And it is one-of-a-kind. I've played 300+ cRPGs to completion, yet Disco still felt fresh.

The next Disco won't have the same advantage and it will be judged more harshly. That's how it goes.

Maybe. Then again, the biggest strong point of the game is the writing. If they can keep it up, while adding a lot of other stuff - like, implementing more of the city (here is the map of Jamrock District alone and that'd be like 1/3 of the city. At least according to this: it mentions Revachol West, Revachol East and La Delta), throwing in way more combat-related interactions, etc. - I don't see a reason for it to be received any worse. Think BG2 to BG1. They have the engine already, so the real work - besides writing - should be creating assets for various locations.

All conspiracy theories and butthurt artists aside, the truth is that Disco got famous due to the traffic collected from clicks on the link in my signature.

Thank you all, and do continue following its spirit:

CONCEPTUALIZATION - Bravo! Continue, then, in the mediocre and vulgar epigones of the world. So what if everything is incomprehensibly shit and you can see it. Take no responsibility

The screeching in this thread is adorable. Keep it up, I'm having great laughs.

 

[Atchodas]

All the leaking butthurt in this thread is just the same as Disco gameplay isn't it

 

[Harthwain]

Try harder.

 

[Prime Junta]

I hate to break this to you Atchodas but somebody disagreeing with some damn fool thing you said doesn’t necessarily mean they’re butthurt about it.

my Christmas miracle is cunta dead in a ditch

Just for you I’ll sign off the Codex for the rest of the decade.

Merry Christmas and happy New Year everyone and see you in the roaring 2020s!

 

[Atchodas]

Yes yes you should definitely tend to your wounds and take some time off

 

[Richard Leaks]

You have to have very poor knowledge of RPGs to think that DE is somehow not one due to not having a tactical combat layer.

 

[Atchodas]

You must have very low standards for RPG's since you believe that game where role-playing is impossible and non existent is great RPG

 

[Richard Leaks]

Maybe if you only consider knight riding on horseback killing things the true RPG experience.
