this is literally the great gatsby of videogames. only most intelligent and educated people can appreciate the genius of this masterpiece
The first time I played it I used cheat engine to give myself infinite attribute points and maxed out every statEvery conversation was so schizo that I was laughing my ass off
That's a really fucking stupid thing to say, but with each passing year it feels more like Disco Elysium was the last piece of legitimate media that wasn't tainted with AI. The schizo in that game is 100% organic.
>>730785427Cool, happy to be considered a crayon muncher if it means I don't spend all day huffing my own farts over the shittiest dullest game ever made.
>>730785427It's great. It's like reading a book, except it's really good.
>>730785427Insanely overrated. Just bombards you with surface-level political takes and overwritten dialogue. I'm not even saying the game is bad it's just that after a few hours you've figured out the style and it becomes boring.
>>730785427>>730785583>>730785639This. SO MUCH HECKING THIS!Edit: Thanks for the gold kind strangerEdit 2: 327 upvotes for this? Haha wow that's the most I've ever gotten, thanks guys and gals and everything in between!Edit 3: WTF 600 upvotes wow thank you all so much this is the best birthday everEdit 4: Thanks for all the birthday wishes fellow r/wooooshers. I tippeth mine hat to thee on this pleasant morrow.Edit 5: ok I'm noticing some toxic discussion happening in this reply chain and I feel the need to address it. Sexism and racism are not cool guys, so please cool it and continue the good vibes please and thank you!Edit 6: ok so I don't know why but I've received a lot of downvotes on this post recently, maybe i got raided by 4chan.com/b?? (commonly referred to as the "asshole of the internet" for those who aren't aware). I don't really ask for much but I was hoping we could show those losers a thing or two, so please give this post an upvote if you haven't already, it would mean the world to me and show these bullies you cannot mess with a good person.Edit 7: turns out my girlfriend cheated on me, so that happened :/Edit 8: so people have been wanting me to clarify the previous edit. I don't have the energy to go into a lot of detail so the general gist of it is this: Yes we were in an open relationship, no that doesn't mean you can't cheat on someone when you're in an open relationship. If you are having sex regularly with someone and never mention it until they get you pregnant, that is definitely a betrayal of trust even if you've both agreed that she can have as many partners as she feels she needs to be comfortable.Edit 9: FYI, taking responsibility for the child does not make me any less of a man than you, actually it makes me more, so kindly fuck off please and thank you!
>>730785427This! So much this!
>>730785427>>730785890>>730785897are these even people?what is this thread?
>>730785876Just like I figured you out from one post, and you became boring
>>730785427its the kind of game that reminds you that liberals think theyre at least 20 iq points smarter than they actually are
>>730785952>are these even people?The redditor is. Runs a youtube channel fanboying over it.
Why is this game such a blatant anti-communism propaganda?
>>730785952you're on the wrong website
>>730786012>>730786026why post reddit stuff here?why post reddit stuff then call someone a redditor?this thread makes no sense
>>730786020Anti?
>>730786012>raising kids who aren't his own>didn't read a fucking book of his own accord until he played DE>proudly announces this to strangers on the internetYeah that's classic Reddit
>>730786129>spacinggo back
>>730786223>why post reddit stuff then call someone a redditor?
>>730786249reddit stuff like what? an embarrassing screenshot and an obviously ironic post?
>>730786141Yes. It's full of "communism bad" nonsense.
>>730786223Reddit spacing isn't a thing, newfaggot.
>>730785427How did these devs get fucked out of their own IP, again?
>>730786581But communism IS bad.
>>730785427>tumblr nosesyikes
>>730787478Communism is a good thing.
>>730785890>>730786012imagine being so afraid of your own tastes that you have to conform to the safe, popular opinion, thinking that “book>videogames” makes any sense, we’re talking about different art forms, it’s a prejudice that comes from a conservative academia that imposed it on you.
>>730785427two questions1. is it actually good or is it pretentious slop2. is it fully voice acted or am i signing up to read a novel
>>730785427It's for reddit pseudointelectuals that act like they read books, but actually don't, outside of capeslop picturebooks and fantasy sloppa.
>>7307876251. Idk didn't play it but i think it's not pretentious2. The original has no voice acting, the final cut does
>>730785427commie shitefunniest part? they got owned
>>730787625Have you seen a screenshot of this game's dialogue?You're signing up to read bluesky posts.
>>730787675how do you know if you didnt play it
>>730786129ntato show the people that actually believe >>730785427
>>730787751I was curious because it's on my backlog
>>730787613The prejudice is correct. Videogames are fun, but most of them are terrible, the ratio of good books:good games is like 100:1. It's better to read than to press buttons, sorry.
I scored 88 on iq test and love this game, years ago i exclusively played cs lol and other multiplayerslop but now i love crpgs. Am i healing anons?
>>730787796How do you know that? The average book is 50 shades of gray, not crime and punishment
>>730787675>2. The original has no voice acting, the final cut doesIt does, it's just not full voice acting, just a bunch of first few sentences to set the tone and save on money.
>>730787796go to any bookstore or library, there is so much slop and smut for women its insane. the book space is extremely bloated with "nyt bestsellers" and self help books for people paying for therapy
>>730788134Okay, and then I open up Steam or the PS Store and the first games that show up are either open world AAA games, indie platformers or JRPGs. The difference is, smut and harlequins are trashy content and everybody including their readers know it, the games are hailed as medium-transcending masterpieces with a score of >90 on metacritic.
>>730788308>The difference is, smut and harlequins are trashy content and everybody including their readers know itlol youd be surprised how many women genuinely believe "Millionaire Werewolf Domination" is a real book that deserves recognition. im not discrediting how many amazing books there are but there is so much slop shit in any bookstore. not counting how much mediocre shit is in any library. at least with video games theres an easier system with recognisable publishers and many games being in longstanding IPs, which most of the time can give you at least an OK experience
>>730785876It sounds like you're saying the game is badGames like this live and die on the writing... I thought the writing was, like you said, political and overwritten, humorless, heartless... boring
>>730787583Centuries of practical trials claim otherwise.
>>730788789Factually wrong. Communism won.
>>730789157This. 100 years of failure after failure, almost 40 years since it's officially dead, 70 years since it stopped being something that people have actively sought to implement, and yet... It still generates complete seething, it still gets banned by governments all over the globe, it's still everywhere.
>>730789298This may be my blind spot so legitimately, what governments "ban" communism in any sense other than by deimplementing it?
>>730789489By outlawing communist propaganda and pushing the idea of class hatred as no different from that based on race or ethnicity. Mostly applies to former Eastern Euro shitholes that built their identity and ideology around anti-communism, so anti-russoid, but places like Poland or Czechia started enforcing such laws just a few months ago, and not 30 years ago like common sense would imply
>>730789774Ty
>>730789298>Communism won.ok name a single succesful communist country today with high living standardsactually communist country
>>730789774>Eastern Euro shitholesThey are only shitholes because of communism, I wonder why people hate this retarded faggot failure ideology there?
>>730786012This is rage bait and I refuse to believe otherwise. I would even bet it is one of you fuckers farming stupid leftist replies.
>>730785427>this is literally the great gatsby of videogamesOverrated and easily appealing to pop culture fellators? I agree.
>>730787796>fun is terribleFuck off Druckmann
>>7307876251. I am in my first playthrough right now. Its a fantastic story, with some touching elements. Its not much of a 'game' per se, but it has all RPG elements like skill points, equipment and EXP.2. Its voice acted and all the voice acting is superb. Some of the best VA work i've ever come to.Do not buy this game tho since the studio shafted the original creator.
>>730790484the kind of people that view the interactivity aspect of video games as a limitation are literal retards that either dont understand that you can just watch a movie or show then, or is someone like druckmann or david cage who were forced into video games because they were too shit to actually be a movie director
>>730785427too bad it's a snoozefest though
>>730790429You'd have to wonder how come they became communist in the first place if they weren't utter shitholes before it, and even then, trying to build martyrdom on events from >30 years ago and a multiverse-like reality where you were great and rich and at the top would be considered a clear sign of severe mental illness if displayed by a human being, but somehow when slavs do it, nobody bats an eye.
>>730790614This, i respect Kojima because even if he wanted to make movies, at least makes fun gameplay shit
>>730787583Communism is a bad idea, because the end result of any communist revolution is a system that would justify starting a new communist revolution.
>>730785427>get it free on Epic (thank you Tim)>writing is funny and engaging>love the idea of your brain's own ecosystem of characters>some of the voice acting might as well be asmri really like what I've played so far. my only complaint is that some of the dialogue choices are a little too reddit-ish or overly zany.
>>730786012Him calling himself stepdad is the clearest indicator that this is a troll.
