Pentiment - Josh Sawyer's historical mystery narrative-driven game set in 16th century Bavaria

[Roguey]

can you fascist faggots explain what is so communist in that estonian pretentious piece of graphomania?

It was made by communists and the setting had a failed communist revolution and people who want to try it again, including the main character if you so choose.

isn't that the same as saying 'it has misogyny in it, therefore it is sexist'?

Depends on if the devs endorse the misogyny. Disco Commies absolutely endorse communism, they even made a point of doing so at The Game Awards.

You are given that option.

Disco Elysium is much more unambiguously anti-EU, but that's not something any of its poser woke gamejourno fans want to talk about.

then its a game with communism in it, not a communist game

What Disco Elysium is much more unambiguously is anti-EU, but that's not something any of its poser woke gamejourno fans want to talk about.

the federalization of europe under the luso-brazilian empire is inevitable

You are given that option.

You are given more options than that and no matter what you pick you are going to look like a loon. I wouldn't exactly call that endorsement.

Your average sports game now features character growth, talents, skills, stats, and dialogue.

I've been telling you nerds that Football Manager is the most in depth and immersive RPG for decades. Tens of stats, all dynamically growing, for tens of players on your team, for tens of teams in your league, for tens of leagues in your country, for tens of countries all being simulated.

Why do you bother?

 

[Diggfinger]

Will check this out

EDIT> Hope they still add (basic combat).

Although, if Josh added combat, he would want to compete with his own previous iterations + the expectations from the market at large. I.e. that would take considerable resources away from his focus this time: narration and story-telling.

Admitted, Id prefer a passable story but awesome combat over **story only/PT** any day of the week, but somehow understand his choice here.

Combat for Josh means perfect(balance)tion.

So wholesome of you to keep up.

He already made that joke

Didn't you get the memo? Nerd jokes are funnier the more often they are repeated.

He already made that joke

Sawyer hasn't downloaded the OS patch that updates his joke library.

You’re supposed to repeat the funny jokes, sawyer

 

[Zed Duke of Banville]

"Sawyer" "funny jokes"

[Comte]

Why doesn't this have a vaporware tag yet?

 

[GentlemanCthulhu]

This game's pitch sound as boring as Josh Sawyer.
