That Darklands review is hilarious. I hope she reviews BloodNet some day.

If you like Arcanum you're a cRPG veteran, and also based.
If you like Disco Elysium you're a redditor normie RPG noob and also a retard.
What if I like both?
Anyone who likes DE is a retarded redditer.
Shut your filthy mouth, servant of the Moralintern.

What kind of rpg veteran wouldn't consider Darklands to be the best crpg of all time? I can't think of one.

Looks like Lilura isn't as smart as he tries to pass himself off as with most of his "blog" posts that are just the basic in game description of whatever he's talking about with nothing original to be found.

Lilura is not that bad...She (or he?) has interesting things to say even though she (going with "she") has autistic peculiarities. She wavers in and out of being insightful and well-spoken with good points, to not-so-well argued retarded points. Kind of like the average Codex poster.

And you don't seem to have even touched the Krynn series, second favorite in the goldbox games according to most codexer's.
Consensus is that Pool/Curse are the best games so if everything else is going to be even worse than that, why bother?
Curse of the Azure Bonds, despite being for higher character levels, removed wilderness exploration (when it should have been expanded upon from its limited existence in Pool of Radiance), and it also eliminated towns except as a menu with a few options. Dark Knights of Krynn is the 2nd best entry in the entire Gold Box series, Champions of Krynn is third, and Dark Queen of Krynn is fifth (behind CotAB), meaning the Krynn trilogy overall is much better than the quartet of games beginning with Pool of Radiance, even though PoR is the single best entry in the Gold Box series. :M

I can't wait for the number change to 24.

Happy New Year, Lilura!

There are amazing RPGs pre-Diablo such as Wizardry 6, Dark Sun and Wasteland
I have tried two out of three and found them lacking. Primitive curiosities that don't offer the kind of content that can engage me.

Of course. The kind of content that can engage you isn't found in these games anyway, such as romances, voice acting and customizing genitalia.
I keep thinking Roguey is rogueknight333. Then I see takes saying some of the greatest crpgs of all time are lacking and I have to do a double take.

Rogueknight is an amazing writer and designer. Funnily enough, skillwise he shits on industry guys with 20 years of experience like Soyer who are worshipped by Roguey

Roguey is still suffering from the influence of Josh Sawyer, the handmaiden of Decline:

"If someone were to make Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord today, I would not consider it to be an RPG

When I read that for the first time, it confirmed my long standing suspicion that Soyer is 1) insane, and 2) will never make anything good

What he is saying is not just false, its really almost political demagogic garbage

Amazing bait MerchantKing

Very common indeed for vaxxed reddit cucks to like DE
Lowest possible troll attempt more like. I get the genre purists drama and all, like I implied earlier, some people are just too autistic about it and that's fine to me but DE is a great game on its own terms if we forget the whole RPG-affiliation thing. You should actually try it instead of shitposting about it.

I did not particularly care for the writing in Swordflight, particularly his pet character who kills you on accident.

DE isn't even a game. A game has gameplay. DE does not.

it has gameplay, you walk around, chose dialogue options, assign talent points to get different builds/playstyles, collect and equip items, use consumables

that's all RPG gameplay

Only a Bethestard would pass that off as gameplay.
chose dialogue options,
Not gameplay.
assign talent points to get different builds/playstyles,
Lol. If all you do is walk around and choose dialogue options then there are no playstyles. The "builds" are just getting perks to get good rng from the dialogue options. If this is what passes for gameplay, DE lovers are retarded.
collect and equip items, use consumables
This is present in many games; adventure games, action games, etc. Not just rpgs.
that's all RPG gameplay
RPG gameplay in the truest form is tactical combat with rng and available abilities determined by the character build. Since there is no combat in DE, it does not have rpg gameplay.

I have tried it when it came out. The gameplay, even for an adventure game, is paper thin. I played adventure games before, I grew up on them. The game has an amazing art direction and setting and that is its main strength, but as a game it was extremely boring to me. Stuff like Kings Quest, Little Big Adventure, Heart of Darkness are like 100x more fun because they actually have gameplay. The problem is not that DE doesn't have combat, the problem is that it doesn't have rich gameplay at all.
