Game News No Truce With The Furies is now Disco Elysium, a detective RPG

[Kev Inkline]

Colonization has to stop.

 

[Lios]

"Disco Elysium" when compared to "No Truce with the furies" is a shitty compromise unworthy of a trotskist (?) luxemburgist (?)
It lacks the finger that caresses the mythological-classical colon-illusion that the bourgeoise longs for
and it dangerously shares ground with vaneigem blahblah

(Now that I think about it if this is the case I accept it)

“Omg Ha Ha No Truce With The Furries” was better than “Omg My Mum’s Had Abortions Better Than This”

 

[AwesomeButton]

“Omg Ha Ha No Truce With The Furries” was better than “Omg My Mum’s Had Abortions Better Than This”

Especially when we are all witness that no, she apparently has not had them.

 

[Lahey]

Stalin would make 4x games and they'd be shit.

Fucking homo
Stalin would include turn-based squad tactical combat
modern 'communists' are wimpy declinoids

They always were since "scientific socialism". That is, always.

You should reread all 3 parts of Das Kapital to see this.

pretentious wall of text games

There was once this pretentious French rpg/adventure about snow and a village and depression, even released in episodes. Anyone remembers what it was?

Mad respect. I wonder if they ever fixed the awful French -> English translation. Or was the prose awful to begin with. It's on Steam but not buyable.

Stalin would make 4x games and they'd be shit.

More like - Stalin would make Civilization game that would be so advanced that nobody wan't to play them and returned to

Call of Duty: Bring Them Civilization On Tips Of Hellfire Missiles Or Welcome Back To Digital Feodalism And Nano-Slavery Or Midnight, XXV Century.

Stalin would make 4x games and they'd be shit.

More like - Stalin would make Civilization game that would be so advanced that nobody wan't to play them and returned to

Stalin would kill anyone who dared to criticise his game and the resulting game would be naturally shit.

 

[Beastro]

The narration is up there for worst thing I've ever heard in my life, ever. Holy fuck. Why did they even go with a narrator? What does it add?

It makes Kalgan sound like a decent chaarcter:

[Moink]

Warned you about trusting the Reds, you give them an inch and they change the name of their game.

 

[Forest Dweller]

Fallout had no achievements. Just saying...

They would have done it if the technology was available at the time.

Kasparov , A well-meaning codexer here. Let me give you a crash course in name generation, an art developed and honed to perfection by the greatest Mecca of entertainment until it became the Raqqa of entertainment - of course I'm talking about Hollywood.

You don't name your thing Disco Elysium. You name it Disco of Elysium. That signifies to the consumer that your product is full of something - in your case, of Elysium - and he already subconsciously wants to buy your container simply because it's a container full of something. That's how he has been conditioned. And he certainly doesn't care what it's full of. Something full of Elysium is almost like a container full of Matt Damon, and this is considered a good thing in the West.

A secondary option, yet equally, if not more effective would be if instead of an of, you add a colon. I don't mean as box art (though this will work as well!) but between the two words - Disco: Elysium. A number of succesful "RPG games" have already done this, and it has brought in sales totally incompatible with their quality as games. Imagine what it would do for you.

Consider this now, and thank me later.

I think Troika over did it with that name a little :D

 

[Lorenzen]

The name fits the setting itself and explains right off the bat what to expect from it. In terms of computer game names, it's perfect.

 

[Fenix]

Yeah, when setting like this - about slow time of the end of 19 century - called something like Blitz, it's not gonna work.

 

[aweigh]

wasnt this thread much longer////

im really confused

 

[Kasparov]

Not really, no

 

[Bohr]

I feel the Codex is gradually coming to appreciate this new name. By release date it'll probably have its own smiley.

 

[Jasede]

When I warned them to change the game or they might get the wrong idea I didn't mean to make it even worse...
