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

[luj1]

IMO, Disco's writing has beautiful prose, but it takes fucking ages to get anywhere.

Then it's not beautiful

do you guys also think alice in wonderland is about a girl falling down a hole

The hole is a metaphor for a vagina. A young prepubescent girl's budding discovery of sexuality.

That's the traditional take on it you fascist scum. A more progressive one says that it is about a boy with xir/xer as pronouns who want to f**k xer best buddy and the hole symbolizes his anus. Or something. And, what's worse, I suspect i'm not completely off, you simply can't go over the top when modern literary critique is concerned.

{{Goldschmidt}} provides evidence that certain events, such as Alice's “penetrating” the rabbit hole, the keys and the locks, and the small door, are “colorful” symbols of the act of sex, which he interprets as proof of the “the presence, in [Lewis Carroll's] subconscious, of an abnormal emotion of considerable strength”

Goldschmidt

As if I would trust what a Jew has to say about one of my favorite books.

 

[Cat Headed Eagle]

Carrol was piping Alice Liddel's nanny and that's how they met. The book is more or less based on a fairytale he made up for her, Hobbit style. IIRC, the whole theme of going through puberty was conscious from Carrol, and was meant to reassure Alice about the changes she'd experience in life.

 

[Viata]

He literally made the story one day to Alice and her sisters, then Alice asked him to write it in a book for her. Martin Gardner has two amazing books that go over the whole two alice books and explaining every part about it based on many researches he did. The theme of going through puberty is some bullshit modern people made because they are unable to read something without thinking about sex.

Quite the circlejerk over the depth of an RPG lacking most RPG elements with minimal C&C where the theme is wokeness and communism are good things.

it's about something but i would not call it wokeness

fundamentally it's a dress-up game

 

[Forest Dweller]

Has anyone ever uncensored the word "faggot" from this game?

 

[Shaki]

The game is great, and more than half the Codex can't handle reading comprehension. No surprise they don't get it.

Of course BG3 defenders also enjoy Disco, why am I not surpried. It's sad that even Codex is getting overrun by Tiktok-conditioned zoomers who never read an actual book in their life, so any quirky woke word vomit, just a little more intricate than average Bethesda game, is enough to make them nut from all the "great writing".

Underrated opinion. Sadly true

Some adventure games from 1996-2004 really blow disco out of the water with impunity

If you like trash such as Disco Elysium, you could have joined the Codex in 1995, you're still a low standard decline enabler.

This is the lamest shit retort that I see here from people with nothing meaningful to say. Like 6 years ago is some narrow time window you absolute fucking brainlet. As our lefty friends like to say, "do better".

Doesn't make you any less of a retard however. Join date and your ability to say something coherent & meaningful have no correlation. (Sad as that is, unfortunately.) This is especially relevant in your case since nobody can hear anything you say anyways since you have half the Codex on your ignore list. Maybe Reddit is more your speed?

 

[BosanskiSeljak]

Gotta love how just the mention of Disco Elysium doing really good at presenting painful personal tragedy and addiction turned into this retarded cat fight.

maybe you're the tiktok conditioned zoomer given your lack of reading comprehension and thinking Disco Elysium is "woke"

Check the join date of the "newcomer" he was complaining about.

Not that it matters, but I was on #arcanum in 2003.

A reader's experience is always subjective, so there is no point arguing. It's pearls before swine with the basic redditors here.

What do you know of beautiful prose? Your favorite books are literally personal development manuals

Its philosophy really is copy pasted from your average subreddit or twitter profile's posts.

The developers censored a word because twitter complained and they thanked Marx and Engels in their game award speech.

Doesn't help your point when most of the complaints here are that the game is too verbose.

Twitter feeds are also verbose.

In an interview with GameSpot, Kurvitz explains that contrary to the hand-wringing we’re all subject to about young ‘uns these days, people really do like reading. They read Twitter, text messages, chat apps, and Reddit among so many others. It’s just a matter of making the text “snappy” enough and displaying it well.

Kurvitz explains how Disco Elysium’s text is displayed in the bottom right corner of the screen where players may already be used to looking at their operating system’s dash, rather than in the center bottom the way that so many other RPGs display dialogue. He also believes that text is best read in a column, unlike the wide, short text boxes of something like the original Fallout.

Disco Elysium’s dialogue jumps up with each new line, at times without any input from the player. “We wanted to build a dialogue system as snappy and addictive as Twitter,” Kurvitz says.
