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

[Harthwain]

For a game ostensibly about being a total failure, Disco Elysium sure makes it difficult to actually fail. The Baldur's Gate 3 gameplay reveal -- ironically a game involving an adventure as heroic as it gets -- showcases far more numerous and interesting failure states in an hour than Disco Elysium does throughout its roughly 30-hour game length.

This is because Disco Elysium barely contains any gameplay of significance.

Disco Elysium is a game about failing, but it doesn't mean that failure is the end. This allows you to carry on with the game despite the failed skill check in most cases as failing skill checks is par for the course. This also means failing can result in producing some interesting situations, rather than getting a simple "Gave Over" state, which usually means reloading until you get a "desired" result (which literally means progress or no progress).

This is the first post I've read that made me interested in playing DE. Well, your explanation of fail-states in the game was one thing. Combine that with the previous post by a clear hater of the game being on the side of whatever the fuck BG3 is supposed to be. Reading that made me think DE can't be as bad as I previously thought.

I am not a clear hater of the game, imbecile. Though one such as you will find it difficult to hold more than one thought in your head, here's what I said about the game after finishing it the first time in October:

I really liked the game, it's the kind of game I can recommend to my more enlightened friends who don't actually play games due to the fact that it's great noir, possibly more than it's a great game...

It's worse.

Actually, what significant changes failed red checks produce? Can someone who tried different outcomes share their experience?

This argument is wrong, but I would have to give spoilers. You can fail in lots of places, mostly if you are too trusting, and if you click dialogue options without considering how would the other guy react to what you are saying.

Hell yeah

This dude's face is somehow even more punchable than Cuno's.

Just finished the game. I was pleased to finally bring about an end to the Communism.

10/10

Is hardcore mode the best way to play this ?

Nothing against Disco's music, but some Franco-electro would fit it perfectly:

My homegirl showed me this song a few weeks back and I was literally listening to it this morning on the way to school. You're right, something like this would be very good in Disco.

Thanks, I hate it.
