Suddenly all these rpgs look and sound so shitty and insignificant compared to the true messiah of incline that is Disco Elysium, right?

I'm sure for all 10 people that know about and are excited for Disco Elysium, all other RPGs looks like shit rn. /s

No, Stygian looks and sounds shit compared to Disco too.

Nah Stygian looks fierce too.

You forgot to switch accounts, sis.

Stygian has very good writing, great art and great atmosphere. It’s a cool little game and would easily be my GOTY in any other year if they’d add a slider to speed up combat. But comparing it to No Truce just doesn’t seem fair.

Is anyone even excited for this besides IHaveHugeNick, Sailor Woedica and Infinitron? Seems like everyone who's not on Obsidian's payroll doesn't give a shit any more.
I would say i'm somewhat excited, but recent experience with both Greedfall and Stygian has really shown me the error of my ways.

I hyped af , count the days until release, even pre-ordered. I want a new good RPG that isn't isometric (played too many of them) for a long time so i've high hopes for this one.

I would be moderately interested if there weren't a one-year delay on the Steam release. I'm not interested in Microsoft's rent-a-game store or Epic Store.

I am very hyped to see it all go down in flames after it releases while I am playing the true GOD RPG: Disco..

Yes. If TOW turns out to be a second rate Fallout: New Vegas knockoff with a weird color palette, that’s still worth getting excited about. It’s possible Tim and Leonard have totally lost their touch, but writing them off completely seems just as wrongheaded as giving them the unadulterated benefit of the doubt.

I’m cautiously optimistic. I refused to play New Vegas for years because it looked like a glorified expansion to Fallout 3, so how good could it possibly be? The bad guys are a bunch of dudes in football equipment LARPing as Roman Legionaries? Sounds fucking retarded. Who cares if Obsidian had a bunch of Black Isle veterans running the show—what had Sawyer or Avellone done for me lately?

But then the game was really good and I felt like a dumbass for waiting so long to play it.

I was optimistic until they started showing stuff, and it turned out that both the gameplay and the writing are "been there, done that" grade, and the combat is simply annoying bot fights.

I wonder how much money Epic threw at this. Apparently, the paid 9,5 million Euro for Control exclusivity.

Yeah, holy shit Epic got ripped off. Paying millions for "exclusivity" only to see Microsoft give the game out free with a $5/month subscription :lol: :lol:


According to Wikipedia:
Epic's newer games will be exclusively available through its store and the company plans to fund developers to release exclusively through their store, using revenue guarantees to developers that opt for this, with Epic paying the difference should a game underperform.[1][2] For other developers, Epic takes only a 12% share of revenue, the rest going to the developer, and for any games developed using the Unreal Engine, Epic forgoes the 5% revenue-based fee for those games sold through their storefront

+ you're saying Obisidan/ Microsoft got millions to guarantee EPIC exclusivity ?

Sounds like a sweet deal, less pressure on Tim and Leon for the game to sell trillions
:cool:

No, Take-Two Interactive did. But Epic still got ripped off. I'm sure they paid a smaller price (compared to Control's $10 million) because the game is also on the MS Store, but did they know it would be available for $1(!!!) for the first month?

All games are shit until proven otherwise. There is nothing about this game that makes it look good so far.

Every prestigious Codexer is excited about this game. That's why they abandoned this thread at page 10, because there's no point arguing with limpdick edgelords who constantly hype the newest isometric Unity Eurojank shovelware with characters walking ass-backwards, but freak out when fucking Cainarsky game has colors different than brown.

The only rpgs of this year are Greedfall, Stygian and Disco. The Outer worlds is being very well received from all the previews so far, well from people that are actually playing. Maybe the game really plays better than looks. The quest desgin seems solid and dialogue seems to have relevant skills checks..

Fallout New Vegas is one of my favorite games from the last 15 years, so fuck yes I'm looking forward to Space Opera New Vegas. I'm sure it'll be buggy and flawed like all Obsidian games, and try-hards will rant and rave on here about that and it being an "aktchun game." I don't really give a fuck.

Reminder that ShitNick was going apeshit over Numanuma not having white enough portraits. Talk about edgelords.

Also, "eurojank" (term used exclusively by faggots with a mouth full of dick, btw) vs. Obsidian AAA-wannabe trash. Fucking lol. And Cainarsky game. Even more lol. This is a game made by limp-dicked californians and SJWs first and foremost.
