People will really defend this ‘detective’ ‘RPG’:>Witness of the murder was there on the run from corrupt government officials in ungoverned and unpoliced part of town.>At the penthouse of a hotel for months (had loads of money apparently).>Hanged out with mercenary that harasses other women, brags about his atrocities and is always dressed in armor.>When he is killed by a bullet from an unknown killer, witness doesn’t leave the hotel and flees but keeps living at the crime scene.>Fortunately no one called the police because of local vigilantes that replace the police there, so there is no crime investigation that would have revealed her location to the corrupt government officials that want to kill her (she used to be a top-secret spy for them).>Still asks local vigilantes to divert the attention to them just to be sure.>They will agree with it because anyone who comes to their district is desperate and deserves protection (even when they can afford a luxurious penthouse for months).>With their help, stages a lynching by the vigilantes to divert any attention from her, but still makes herself the motive of the lynching.>Calls the police because she wants the body to be taken down.>The police arrive, can’t magically take the body down and ask a local to do it.>They investigate her and she lies to them but also says the vigilantes are lying about the lynching.>The vigilantes tell the police what really happened.>The police return to her, she goes along with the story thus becoming a witness in the investigation.>Tells the police she is on the run from corruption and won’t lie anymore, asks them not to take her in or register her name.>Lies about who came up with the lynching and about her name, using the name in her fake passport after telling the police where she hid her fake passport.
Cont.>When the police are off to retrieve the fake passport, upon which they can see that her name is actually a fake name in her fake passport, she stays where she is and doesn’t flee yet.>The police don’t find anything and return. The fake passport disappeared unbeknownst to her. When the police leave again she marks the direction from where the bullet came and now flees, having solved the investigation for the police.
>>737325239>>737325316Bruh people really defend this? That's crazy
what's the issue
What's your point?
Game is like 1/3rd good character exploration, 1/3rd poorly done detective plot, and 1/3rd totally unnecessary ideology discussion. Pretty sure the detective plotline only exists because the devs knew nobody would buy a game where half the word count goes into talking about politics with I AM LE SILLY caricatures.
>>737325949it's based on a detective novel written by the lead writer of the game. The world building is an extension of the novel.
>>737325239>>737325316I'm mad you made me read the longest greentext on the entirety of /v/ and you have no point to make
Not reading all that, I liked the game. Stop being so upset over it.
>>737325673>>737325768>>737325820>>737326175Alright back when I finished this game I made a similar post, thought I would make it more accessible now so people who often see the Disco Elysium threads could also get to know about this ‘acclaimed writing’. But perhaps I should have made it more mouthbreather friendly. Here’s the original, if this doesn’t sound retarded enough to you I don’t know what to say further
>>737326642hey alright man enjoy your thread take care
reminder to pirate this game rather than pay for it as the developers are communists. by their own standards you are entitled to their game for free.
>>737326890The game is the peak of communist larps because it resulted in one of the founders stabbing everyone else in the back to gain control of the company. He then fucked off to Britain to hang out with wealthier communists while his comrades back home lost their jobs.
>>737326642So what's the issue exactly?
>>737326642nope not falling for the sunk cost fallacy and reading all that shit twice
>>737327050You know you can look it up and see that you're completely wrong and misinformed but here you are, spouting shit that's provably false.The three people who founded the company, including the man who owns the entire IP because he wrote the novel it's spawned from, were fired after their original investor sold out his share and his replacement tried to force the company in a new, overly monetized direction.
>>737327238>your wrong they weren't stabbed in the back>they were *stabbed in the back with extra steps*
>>737325239It's been a while since I played this, but you've made ridiculous mistakes/ lies about stuff like the Hardie Boys' motives, so congrats on a huge waste of everyone's time, I guess.
>>737327060>>737327126You can read it until ‘Call the police’ which is the funniest part, undermining the entire premise of the game. The entire game doesn’t need to happen like those time travel movies where they traveling back creates the problem, only this ‘detective’ story doesn’t have time travel
>>737327353>disco elysium>play?
>>737327661I didn’t, at all. I discussed this before in threads right after I finished the game and Harry’s skills tell him about the motives of the Hardies. The leader didn’t do it out of love for Klaasje, that’s how the plot simply is written and it adds more layers of retardedness
what an absolute dogshit thread
>>737328936Show me your thread
>>737325949>Game is like 1/3rd good character explorationI hated Kim for the most part and he’s like 1/3rd of the game, talking down on you regardless of your dialogue options and when you at some point catch him lying he still gets the upper hand because of some random impossible skill check
>>737326890
>>737327353>xitterfag opinionOh no! How will DE fans ever recover?
there should have been a way to get Kim killed
>>737330230>talking down on youWe must have played a different game because Kim treats you as a fellow RCM officer and equal far past the point anyone else in the entire setting would. He has the patience of a saint.
>>737330230You are an insane lunatic who doesn't know his own name and who smashed his own room in a drunken fit and who probably led him to shell out 120 bucks to pay for a broken window. If anything he's tolerant of you.
>>737333169>far past the point anyone else in the entire setting wouldWhy? I remember coming across relatively normal through my dialogue options to most people, didn’t pick the option of explaining my amnesia to Kim but acting normal to him is useless. The game has to put you in a box for the ending, I think he called me a communist at the end because I picked a socialist option 1 time more than the other options>>737333234Yet he still humiliates you with the widow when you have to tell her her husband is dead, he doesn’t seem to think you’re a lunatic at that point
>>737334040>Why? I remember coming across relatively normal through my dialogue options to most peopleRegardless of how normal you're acting he figures out that you have amnesia, that you failed to get the body down for three days and that you crashed your car into the ice. But besides that he never really patronises or belittles you as far as I can remember, so I don't know what you're reacting to that makes you think he's talking down to you.
>go out of my way to fuck everything up as much as possible.>do apocalypse cop, with high physique/authority, abused narcotics, had the lowest level of Kim trust, always choose the worst option whenever presented, and had the lowest cop ranking. >the ending is some forced feel-good tumblr-tier kum-ba-yah bullshit where Kim goes "yeah he's a druggie, alcoholic, racist, sexist, fascist, corrupt, power-abusing, schizo, stealing, lying, scumbag detective who treated me like absolute shit, but he's still a good guy XD" and your partner detective just shrugs and goes "yeah I guess you're right"What a poorly written piece of shit, and the ending is such an absolute fucking slap in the face
>>737334870>what you're reacting to that makes you think he's talking down to youThe overall feel and tone of him especially, including what I already mentioned, I had minor ragequit inclinations when he wants you do the talk with the widow who’s husband you found and then makes it super awkward by not helping at all and after that being condescending about it
>>737334938How was Kim still with you at the end if you chose all the wrong options, I thought you would get Cuno
>>737325239It really isn't a detective game at all, its basically just a ploy to explore their secondary world which is somewhat interesting but you never actually solve the murder in a satisfying way
>>737332758You do realize xitterfags also love DE going by the first tweet. What now?
>>737325239>>737325316>just gives a plot recapEverytime
>>737338971>xitter is more than one personUnfathomable.
>>737325239>Why did the woman working in a disgustingly lucrative field like corporate espionage have enough money to slum it in a lawless shithole for a few months?Didn't read beyond this, apply yourself.
>>737335416Kim will fuck off for the rest of the day sometimes but you only get Cuno if Kim gets shot during the Tribunal.
>>737327353I agree with both these statements unironically.
>>737326890>Anon proposes pirating the game to “le own the commies”>In actuality his suggestion would only hurt the scumbag capitalists who stole the IPI feel like there’s a funny joke or analogy to be made here but I can’t quite put my finger on it.
>>737326890So the devs are based, I'm glad I already bought it years ago
Why do most Americans think anyone with communist views want to rob and kill them, individually and specifically?
>>737334938Realistic for cops. But the point is that you're not gonna enjoy games like these if you can't connect emotionally to broken human archetypes.
Why does everyone hate moralism so much? Idgi
>>737344392Moralism is just neoliberalism where corporate status quo is king even if that means violently invading anyone that doesn't want to adhere to that sort of order.
>>737344528We currently live in the best time in human history because of globalization and unchecked liberalism.
>>737344392The moralintern in the game are objectively evil.In reality centrism does not lead to globohomo faggotry like what is depicted in the game.The authors really hate centrists because they view them as passively allowing evil to happen despite literally being commie retards that would kill for a faux "equality". The world we live in isn't rational and blaming centrists for what blackrock and jews have done is my biggest issue with Disco Elysium.
>>737325239>>737325316Didn't the dudes protect her because she had their leader by the pussy? Women are evil and will ruin your life, that's the point of the game. Oh and you can't do anything about it. If you love pussy like I do, just wish for luckiness while trying to find an okayish female.
