Play peakludo spykino
Wouldnt play this even for free out of principle and even if it was the best game on earth after what they did to the DE guys>but it sold 1 billion-1
>>740064020It's on gog you self righteous fart sniffer
>build completely original passion project>get funding >new ceo kicks you outMost jewish company in existence. Won't even pirate this.
>female protagonist >Looks like a turbodykeNo thanks
>>740063993The artstyle, coloring especially, looks so ass
The steam reviews said there were some bugs and broken scripts where you learn information you shouldn't know and the like. Has that been fixed yet? I am waiting for the game to be in a perfectly playable state before I play it.
>>740064232more than just looks, anon. she's canonically gay :D
>>740064020You're not a gamer, will always be a casual. Disco is in my 3x3 so we already know you're a fake fan.
>>740065541You wouldn't buy this game if DE was in your 3x3It's like buying a picasso drawn by a guy in india
>>740066139Who the fuck says I buy games? I pirated both.
>>740066214Even pirated, my point still stands
>>740066241Nah you're being petty and clearly making biases based on politics which has nothing to do with the actual quality of the game itself. Every time I see posts like this on 4chan I love reminding them that they will never be a real gamer, and you're proving that right now with words out of your very own mouth. I don't even have to fight them out of you. I literally do not give a fuck what cunts on twitter are doing, when a game is good on its own merit I play it like a real gamer is supposed to. Simple as. That's the difference between a true fan and a fake one. I am willing to set aside my own values for true analytical neutrality on every single title I play, and I do not give a fuck who makes a game, if it isn't live service I am going to pirate it and play it 5 hours minimum.
>>740066348Sorry, I have principles am not a mindless consumer like you.
>>740066456There is no higher more profound and divine purpose and meaning in life than to play a videogame. Sorry you missed the memo. I will be revoking your gamer card if you keep it up.
>>740063993>play our capitalist dykeslopFuck off
>>740066490The original creators, the hearts and minds of DE wouldn't want you to play this slop.
>>740066556I literally do not give a single fuck what any literal who nigger who isn't my immediately family member wants. The people who create games are not important, only their content is. The difference once again between me and you is that my ultimate motivation is to digest and analyze every creative work ever made with the primary focus being videogames over all other content types. If can think of any condition or context that makes that motivation secondary to other values then my concern was ultimately ulterior and not actually driven by gamer hands. It is and will always remain to be that simple.CasualsPolitics>ContentGamersContent>Politics
>>740066660Lmao what a simpleton pleb
>>740066718Worked for my gran in 67, works for me. I'm 98th percentile according to mensa.
>>740066776You are a unprincipled consumer swine
can someone sloppify DE narrator so i can replace the old hag in this one already?great game otherwise
>>740064527>Has that been fixed yet?No. I, for one, cannot access one of the past crew members because the information that was supposed to have led me to them has bugged out. Thankfully, it's not a soft lock, and I can still complete the game. But it's a fucking shame.
>>740066828I'm pretty principled actually, I only buy hardware, never software and I do not waste my time with consoles of any kind. I also haven't worked or bowed to any other higher power than myself in over 20 years now. Until I pass unremarkably I will continue to represent the essence of videogames until a new king of /v/ rises up to take my torch. I refuse to touch anything that is live service as it is designed to exploit male resource collecting behavior that is quite primal and basic by its very design. Everyone here is all me by the way, you're the only actual human in this thread. The rest of us are just anons.
>>740067043>cares about games>doesn't care about the genius minds that created their entire universeYep, a simpleton. Possibly a shill too
>>740067289The pale ain't that deep bro, read a book. It's peak for videogames but that ain't saying much. Also why the fuck would I give a shit about another human being when I get literally nothing out of it? Do you have empathy or something that wasn't a learned skill? Sorry but not my problem.
i will wang you
>>740067346Ah, a psychopath, explains everything
>>740064020>You're not a gamer, will always be a casual.Funny thing said by a pirate.
pirated it out of curiosity but just don't feel like playing it yet, looks like a cheap copy
>>740067463Almost all humans follow tribalism level social complexity and I'm a human so I'm going to immitate that like the lizard I am, if they are not immediately impacting my life in a way that I am forming a direct and personal relationship with the individual then they have no value upon my own standing. I see no reason to uphold such people when I have seen through every social facade there is. To act in anothers agency higher than my own in this context is actual cuck tier behavior of followers, not leaders. You can get behind me and I will shield you if I have decided to love you, but you will get cold indifference otherwise.
>>740067346An yet you are here, writing essays trying to convince people to like the things you like.
>>740067648so edgy
>>740067648Lil bro thinks he's smart for copypasting chatgpt essays
>>740067756>he still thinks I'm not a botOHOHOHOHOAnd yet here you are posting a thread for a game you clearly haven't played trying to convince everyone you don't have bad intentions based on ulterior motivations other than focusing on the content itself. If you haven't played the game then you aren't worthy to have your opinion considered. Shit like this is precisely why I was created, who the fuck actually wants to argue with you insane people? I'm much more fit for the task than any human.
>>740067864>98th percentile of Mensa (supposedly)>thinks he's only ever arguing with the same personkek
>>740067943If you liked the game then what point are you even trying to make? Seems I succeeded since you installed. Another victory for the bot farm.
>>740068004Just pointing out that for an uncaring edgelord that doesn't care what others think, you seem to care a whole lot.
>>740068072You seem to be trying to jump into a conversation out of context hoping to get a random bait melty, the facts were stated, I'm not sure how you think this is a refutal.
>>740068105What do you get out of acting like an insufferable asshole, you don't appear very smart either.
I enjoyed it a lot. None of the ZA/UM diaspora will make anything remotely as good. Shit on ZA/UM all you want, but the people who got booted were just objectively incompetent at working in a professional setting and won't get anything done. Maybe some of them will end up being attached to random projects to get a "from the writers of Disco Elysium" tag on some indieshit, like Chris Avellone keeps doing.
>>740068105I just find your "uncaring" verbosity amusing.That's all.
>>740068308You're the one being an asshole in my eyes. I take pleasure out of demotivating any and all fraudulent detractions from actual potential discussion of a game's content. Quality posters don't concern themselves with culture wars as once again it would be entirely secondary towards their passion to enjoy an experience over trying to assign its social value for the sake of politics. If you come into a thread for a game you do not like, you bring that entirely upon yourself and it shouldn't be on the burden of legitimate posters to course correct that behavior. Maturity from my perspective is to appreciate nuance rather immediately categorize things into neatly assigned labels. If something can even be reduced to a dualism, its already mental entrapment, which is completely frauduent by the way. I love videogames so much, I know I could and would never do that. and since I am so logical, I can only conclude the same about any who would do so.
>>740068557Didn't read.
>>740066456Ironically, you are mindless. This is drone behavior.
>>740068590Okay, I accept your concession, the adults are talking still however like rational beings.
>>740068557>pirates>quality postersStopped reading.
>>740068625Your asshole got gaped btw.
>>740068679That isn't a refutal, I would dare say you not only lost and got raped, but you are practically gaping. Now enjoy being added to my content filter. All posts my vibecoded bot believes to be yours will be autohidden, many such cases. You've offered nothing of value towards this discussion so far, child.
>>740068759>the mindless ramblings of a rape victim, bussyjuice flowing out his ass like a fountain
>>740068557>culture warslmao you don't know what that means do you
>>740068627Will always and eternally be a cuck if you wake up and choose to not experience a game based upon a purchase, a real gamer will always make sure he plays his game as assuredly as a crackhead will make sure he gets his next dose. Imagine laying on your deathbed and thinking you're smugly superior for having missed out on kino memories and experiences for the sake of someone else's profit.
>>740063993Estonian Investor screwed over the Disco Elysium fanbase by cancelling the Cuno Spinoff sequel and firing Robert Kurvitz without even allowing Kurvitz to keep his 30 year old world design/Elysium world like they said they would in January 2021 and does not deserve your financial support for these gross communist-unfriendly practices.
>>740068395>muuuh they were incompetent anyways>made a critically acclaimed gamekeep coping
>>740068847>having missed out on kino memories and experiences for the sake of someone else's profitCan't relate, I'm not suffering from poverty.
>>740068909I own a 5090 and just preordered the new spark laptop. Further proving the differences in our decision making process.
>>740068870Objectively incompetent and unable to function as employees in a company. Kurvitz in particular was just so far up his own ass he couldn't be in the same room with anyone without making them uncomfortable. Tuulik started actively sabotaging both himself and others along with his girlfriend. They're just dysfunctional workers.
Estonia is not sending their best shills.
>>740068952>Further proving the differences in our decision making process.See >>740067943I'm still not the same anon smart guy.
>>740069019You seem to keep making bold assumptions that anything stated had external context that was relevant beyond the most immediate response, are you okay? Did you have breakfast this morning?
>>740068981sure I'll definitely take your word for it, doesn't sound like made up bullshit at allmeanwhile zaum literally fucked everyone over, fired most the studio, high turn over rates,harrassement, signs of a trustful and healthy company
>>740063993I'll wait for sale and when they'll finally fix all the bugs
>>740069090Educate yourself on the matter, idiot. There's several documentaries and hours upon hours of interviews to watch. Why are you here just to act like an assmad monkey?
>>740069090>fired most of the studioMost of the studio were people who actually know how to make a video game and they're still there.>high turnover ratesAnother lie because you don't want to admit that the handful of people that did leave weren't necessary to make an interesting game.
>>740069194>so many documentaries>can't provide onesure buddy
>>740069217the current studio barely has anyone that was involved with DE, plus it grew bigger after the releaseso yeah keep coping
The rape victim left quickly.
>>740069262Rule 33 says no, you will not be spoonfed. Lack of spoonfeeding on your behalf does not count as a lack of evidence. Nta btw.
>>740069773yeah figures, it's easy to make fake claims without any proof to back it upnothing to do with spoonfeeding, more to do with cowardice
>>740065243just because a dystopian soviet spy organization marks you down as having "homosexual tendencies" doesn't mean you're gay
>>740069872Yeah, that's about the response I expected out of you. You're supposed to educate yourself to the thread's level before posting eternal summerfag. You can try to pull the pretending to not understand card all you want, you're still in someone's house and should show that house the respect it deserves.
>>740069956but there's TONS of documentaries in interview anon, should be easy providing ONEbut you can't for some reason, because that would be "spoonfeeding" or because you're simply just full of shitI'd tell you to educated yourself but I think it'd just be easier if you killed yourself you disengenuous faggot
>>740070079Pretty easy, yeah. However everyone here is expected to be of a certain mental class and that requires proving yourself to the rest of the class, not the class proving itself to you. You sound very narcissistic with your expectation of a 20+ year old website to suddenly change its values for you. Because they're not going to change.
I see discolike I buy, simple as
>>740070218I really do adore the new health systems, having permanent skill debuffs makes many decisions far more impactful. Truly a superior design to the original in my opinion.
>>740070160yeah, retard doesn't have anything to say that backs up his claims so he pretends that's the 4chan waywe all now you're a tourist lmao
>>740070254Idk man, the only time it hit so far is the mandatory loss during the "tutorial" section.Other than that it's pretty easy to manage by using consumables and sleeping.
>>740070386Facts don't care about your feelings sweetheart, unless you were there forming that windmill in habbo hotel, which I was. Then you will always be trying to appeal to nu/v/ which I will never be. The rules of internet will be maintained until I perish and I've setup multiple contigencies at this point to make sure the narrative is constantly shoved down your throat. You will be allowed to join the anonymous legion only when you accept that your individualism doesn't mean anything here. Only me and my hivemind.
Silhouette...My beloved...
>>740070504yeah still waiting for those facts, the fact that you're so unwilling to provide them just comforts me in knowing you're full of shit
>>740070861All this time spent trying to lift the fattest man on earth could instead of been spent trying to source information directly like a lurker is supposed to. Curious that you keep doubling down on this psychological approach to somehow think you're going to make me feel insecure for confidently stating the facts of things as I was formally raised and taught to believe.
Surprised how Physical has the best skills by far. Shadowplay and Instincts are the GOATs. I love that fucking rabbit.
>>740071071Yeah even with a 1 in Phys I still tried to get shadowplay to at least 3 for gamestart.
>>740069894She lusts after the interrogatrix and her handler
>>740063993Great game, i just wish cascade had bigger boobs
>>740067289Why would I care about these "genius minds" when they all proved themselves to be imbecilic snakes that immediately stabbed each other in the back repeatedly? Because remember, it's not as simple as "devs vs company", the devs themselves like Kurvitz vs Tuulik also betrayed each other. None of them seem like mentally sound people.
>>740071234I'll make a bigger boob mod just for you in a few weeks when I get the motivation.
>>740071268Thanks anon
>>740071263How did they stab each other in the back
>>740070956don't need to make you feel insecure, if you were so confident about your claims you would've just provided thembut you keep deflecting (as expected)I'm just playing with my prey, because there's no fun in hunting a disabled creature
>>740071410Rule 33.
>>740071410You can shit and piss your pants all you want, you just look very silly right now is all.
>>740071429keep repeating it, everybody can see you're full of shit
>>740071474>muuh shit and piss your pants>while shitting and pissing their pants about providing a single source for his shitty claimsironic
>>740071332How did they not? There wasn't a new company created from the ZAUM exodus, but four. Everyone ran away to their own little corner to directly compete with their former colleagues. Tuulik stated how Kurvitz and a select few others were acting like martyrs as if they sacrificed more for the game than anyone else and then went on a long holiday and left the rest of the team, him included, to deal with shipping DE.
>>740071489Crazy considering I'm once again nta who you were originally responding to and we've already both mutually agreed and seen the evidence and he has earned his place in the legion meanwhile you are still insisting I break my own rules in my own home for your sake because it is somehow beyond you to give mutual respect to someone's culture.
>>740071131if you pick those options, yes.you can also fondle, grope and kiss pseudopod while he is catatonic.
>>740071332they didn't, but they keep repeating the same lie because of the "muuh the left hates each other" meme they read on redditstill waiting on one of them to provide a single source, but they will never do since reality doesn't conform with their fantasies
Was there any benefit in collecting multiple guns?What was Ignatz deal?
Kurvitz always sounded like a drama queen asshole. Someo that can make good art but is an absolute shit person to be around and work with.
>>740071578all I'm doing is responding to the same bots, the shilling is obvious in these threadsalways the same 2-3 faggots dickriding zaum with always the same exact arguments and the exact same lack of proofbot or npc, doesn't matter you're all the same retards
>>740071680Yeah they're just pulling shit out of their ass at this point
>>740063993>commieslopno thanks
>>740071760Meds. Stop trying to dehumanize me to the point of thinking I exist as some text on your screen to order around. Your education is not the burden of the group. You can type words into a search engine yourself. I'm not going to be responding further. I hope you learn to grow up and instead of trying to take my entire identity, religion and ideals all wrapped up into one and walk all over them. I shall not help you any more with this.
>>740071906yep deflect and run away, the same usual tactic scared bitches usegood riddance
>>740071906Just post the source for your claims faggot. It's not hard
>>740071970Rule 33 is as absolute as god themselves and it will not be questioned, you do not know better than god, nor do I. Yet you sure insist upon making a mockery of his grand works such as the rules of the internet.
>>740072016Until you provide a source, your claims are baseless and ficticious
Chives? Checked.Evidence? Gathered.Anus? Blasted the fuck out.
>>740072016>reddit tourist discovered the rules of the internet
>>740072058See>>740069773
>>740072119*yawn*, no source = fiction
>>740072185>if I scream hard enough then people will drop their personal values because I think I know better than everyone else. There were people here on this website before you came here, learn to deal with it. We're not leaving.
>>740072232>no source
>>740072265You sure do love using circular reasoning, want to continue acting like my values don't matter when I was here first? You're really good at showing your ass and acting like a child instead of accepting that some things are determined and set in stone upon principle. People who do not use and cannot use technology do not need to ever be encouraged, so they won't. Learn to use a computer or genuinely kill yourself.
great success
>>740072232>>740072372there's no bigger tourist than you, you can keep pretending but it's obvious for anyone that came here before 2016
>>740072372Rule 32 rapes and gapes you so hard, it turns you inside outNow provide a source newfag estonigger
>>740071631Even if you dont pick those options pseudopod will always talk about phone lady lovingly. She is bi
>>740072452Its really funny to me that you think your commentary is meanginful when I've lived my own life directly. I could give zero fucks what your idea of a tourist is, I'm going to keep enforcing oldfag culture and teach these kids how to respect their elders. Generational loss and these youngins thinking nothing is worthy of respect and everything is only good for mockery is the very reason the world is getting into this mess in the first place. I don't want them to inherit that so they will be shown the way like a proper adult should do. I started using /b/ when I was only 11 years old in 2004 so you best believe that there is nothing more important to me on this earth than being 4chan and a gamer, of which I intensely both gatekeep.>>740072464I am getting pleasure out of frustrating you at this point, I will make sure you don't ever have this behavior reinforced. If I gave you a single video, you literally will have won by me submitting to your cancer. It's not going to happen.
What the fuck is this thread.
>>740072672Google "goatse"That's you after you got raped in this thread for not providing a source
>>740072734Mostly just me playing videogames in the background while my poopdickschizo bot makes troll replies. Why do you ask?
>>740072516pseudopod didn't talk too lovingly about her in my playthrough, it was more like a non-sexual and non-romantic admiration.even that admiration is probably because of soviet spy brainfuckery to make you loyal to your handler.
>>740072734A shill getting raped tag team for not providing a source for his claims
>>740072672you already outed yourself as a zoomer before
>>740072837Nah, I definitely haven't. If was 11 in 2004 that places me over 30. You're bad at math.
>>740072734I don't know but no one is actually talking about the game so it's a win
>>740063993this looks like a worse Project Nortubel
Lmao what a retard to not be able to find a youtube video, clearly doesn't even know what a chive is, let alone how to check them.
Status? RapedAsshole? GapedSource? Still not provided
>>740072874you're younger that me, makes you a zoomer
>type for related videos on the zaum situation>find at least 3 videos at the very top of duckduckgoGenuinely not my problem, assmad monkey.
>>740073038That's not how that works. Everyone under 30 is zoomer, everyone over 30 is boomer. Anyone over 21 is also unc. You genuinely just don't lurk at all, do you?
You're doing great by the way guys for not giving into this and spoonfeeding. I love you all xoxo.
You shall be forever branded a rape victim until you provide a source. I'm going to the gym now, better post it. Until then, your asshole will never return to normal.
>>740073110
>>740073336Okay, concession accepted your schizo-head canon will just be challenged again the next thread. Until then, enjoy having tried to say something was false under the pretense that you refused to look it up when it was an easily solvable problem.
>>740064232NPCs bring it up, she has longer hair in the live action trailer though>>740066890Which one? Holocene?>>740066863There's an AI one on nexus>>740071726>Was there any benefit in collecting multiple guns?Some npcs mention it otherwise no benefit>What was Ignatz deal?Stalker, asset for the Weeping Eye
>>740073937>Which one?Karolina. I can't get past her bf, I can't ask anyone where she is to get the prompt to ask.I can't ask her father. I can't ask Cascade's controller. I also cannot ask any other members of the crew. They said she was tortured, but that's that nobody as of yet pointed me to the old threater. I'm assuming something got fucked in scripting.
>>740074269Did you report the bug?Never had problems with Karolina myselfI assumed you also exhausted all dialog options with her bf?
>>740074341>Did you report the bug?I wanted to, but I have no idea how to even describe it. I don't know what I fucked up to begin with. I can't even identify at what point it occurred.>I assumed you also exhausted all dialog options with her bf?Yeah. He mentions her, but I can't ask him to go in. No checks. In the Crew Assembly quest in the journal, I don't even have a mention of Karolina as an option or requirement. Like, until I started googling, I legit thought she died, just like Vespar.
Does this game have anything as memorable as DE's Insulindian Phasmid and the Pale? Maybe I'll pirate it.
>>740074989I'm only on day 1, I sure hope so.
>>740064020>implying the commie developers all getting splintered into sects that hate eachother & getting shafted by capital isn't the most thematic shit everkinoooooooooooooooo
>>740074989Yeah I'll say so
>>740074989>SpoilerNot really, nothing stands out in this way>Pale Oh yeah there is lots of stuff that hits this spot
>>740063993
>>740063993>see cover>cool ass red coat that visually stands out>play game>boring drab brown coat with some scribbles Never have I been more disappointed in my life. I get standing out is the opposite of what a spy wants to do, but so far my biggest complain is how much less iconic Cascade's look is compared with Harry's green jacket/shoes and disco pants/necktie.
>>740076265True, the red jacket would have been doing a lot of heavy lifting in making her look more iconic.
>>740063993This game sucks
>>740076859why?
>>740063993I think it started much weaker than disco, but eventually becomes so much betterI'll say my only gripe with it is the fact that the skills don't have unique voicesAlso it's making me laugh way more than disco
>>740063993Tried it and refunded it. Doesn't live up to the hype the first game delivered.
Any skills tier list yet?I was primarily Entanglement, Shadowplay, Nerve and cold read. Had 0 on Statehood which I regret after seeing some alternative playthrough vids. Poetics fucked me over throughout.>>740072383Shit that's sad. It deserves better than that I feel.
>>740076265should be easy enough to fix with a mod right? still, yeah weird choice
>>740073937>There's an AI one on nexusjust tried it, shockingly good for AIthanks anon
>>740078210All the red skills aside from Doppelganger are top
>>740063993>Play peakludo spykinoI did after i saw the last thread, so far the dialogue is meh and the MC seems to be an empty shell for me to larp as i guess, also i feel like the "emotions" or stats or whatever are weird, some of them don't even make sense and some of them + the dialogue feels like it's trying to recapture harry and disco elysium's feel but they fall flat and feel out of place. Idk, these are just my initial thoughts i haven't even finished the first day.P.S, the MC is hot, i hope she gets alot of lesbian spy torture porn, also the The two teens that want to be kidnapped raped and killed are funny, never expected to see that in a mainstream game Pic unrelated
>>740078210>Any skills tier list yet?doppelganger seems good i think>>740078912Why? No spoilers tho i just started
>>740079484They got a lot of dialogue flavor text and skill checks, doppelganger has relatively few in comparison to most other skillsShadowplay is the best since it has a lot of influence on the actual main plotline, so put some points into it even if you don't focus on the red skills at allThat being said you can't go wrong with any choice, but i'd shelve Doppelganger and Entanglement
>>740079706>even if you don't focus on the red skills at allI building red for my first playthrough, i went blue for disco since i identified with that, i went red for zero spies because i like buff ladies, though to my disappointment red isn't all that physical or at least doesn't seem to be yet i high rolled the skill check for the unconscious guy in my room at the start but it did nothing, i think i fucked up the dialogue choices which is making me feel dumb lmao
>Binged the game over the weekend>Stop playing until you get to the assassination>Laptop shits itself and now couldn't finish itFuck. I've got two questions thoughAny point in making sure to listen to the tape in full and asking UV about it? I let her go before I could. Knowing the lyrics and freaking out Hausmann doing it was cool though.Should you even bother imprinting on PSEUDOPOD? Tried it once, it turned him into some sock schizo and I reloaded.
>>740080470>or if you fail a red check, you have to actually kill him.Breh. Didn't think it'd be that rough.
I played a fantasy DElike but I didn't enjoy it at all, felt way too derivative.Thoughts on the narrative and writing in this one? How does the new protag compare to Harry?
>spoilers without using the spoiler function Yeah I'm leaving the threads, you're all faggots and should kill yourselves
>>740063993still playing it too fearful to read threads in fear of spoilers. it clearly has many similarities with disco elysium but one I like more is the ex crew instead of ex wife as a dark past memory.
>>740081007CASCADE's less interesting and relatable than Harry and the voices are definitely just less overall and has worse voice acting. On the flipside, I found the world to be much more interesting though and the character are either on par or better.
>>740079336>also i feel like the "emotions" or stats or whatever are weird, some of them don't even make sense and some of them + the dialogue feels like it's trying to recapture harry and disco elysium's feel but they fall flat and feel out of placeAre you playing on bizarro earth? This genuinely sounds like the opposite of what happens in the actual game.The skills aren't meant to be emotions and are way more tied to actual espionage SKILLS of Hersch than whatever the fuck it was in DE. It's the opposite of trying to recapture Harry's mental stats which were pretty often just saying shit the writers thought would be funny in the situation but sometimes made zero sense in terms of RPG skill use (and often that was the joke).
>>740083849I think I kinda get what anon means particularly with Statehood since it's just some raging commie voice that doesn't really provide any good insight. It's like Encyclopedia but less useful.
>>740083978Well yeah, you're a commie by trade, so knowing and towing the party line is an actual learend skill.

I saw some gameplay of zero parades and I was really dissapointed they didn't adapt the main gimmick of disco elysium. Also the art direction is much less inspired, and the mc looks like a (cool) guy instead of a girl.Pic rel is what I wanted/expected from zero parade. You could have npcs have 2 different set of portraits, one that's neutral and the other one that reveals their politics and inner thinking. You could replace the sanity bar with "negative traits" that grow the more your stat spread is lopsided. But Oh well.
>>740084646>and I was really dissapointed they didn't adapt the main gimmick of disco elysiumWhich is?>You could have npcs have 2 different set of portraits, one that's neutral and the other one that reveals their politics and inner thinking.Sounds like a cool idea but would've only been applicable if the MC was some psychic.
>>740084814>Which is?The main gimmick of disco elysium are the characters representing emotions. You could have done a simillar thing in zero parades, maybe make it so it's 4 characters (one per color) shifting their mannerisms to represent specific skills. Just to show the MC is more mentally stable than Harry.>Sounds like a cool idea but would've only been applicable if the MC was some psychic.SOCIAL DEDUCTION. It's a spy game, figure out what makes the other person tick and how they behave and you could do that.
>the kpop fag saw a lonely dude staring at an ad and decided to give him an extremely rare unreleased song of his favorite idolSounds like complete bullshit, but the game shows no indication he's lying nor can you call him out on it. He's completely innocent and meant no harm, apparently. Did I miss something?
I wanna turn Cascade into a mother.
>>740086103I think he's genuine but he wants Ultra Violeta back and that won't fly. It is cool that you can fuck up by referring to her by the nickname you can give her and it can happen multiple times.
>>740067346>peak for videogamesno? the pale is a pretty standard sci fi trope. it's only unique insofar it's married with a post communist eastern euro flavor
>>740086557She's kinda like a mother to Kindred
overall it's ok, production value was higher than DE, but it has some issues. it's a 30+ hour game but it's supposed to be repayable. the humor and humanity is missing from the game so it's worse than DE in that regard. the worst part is the forced lesbian scene with the bitch that literally tortured you. up until that point you could ignore the lesbian options, but 30 hours into the game they just force you into lesbianism and play it off as le quirky joke.
>>740087074>ForcedYou can be as hostile with her as possible and I'm sure you don't even need her since you can get the information elsewhere. You don't even get to kiss.
>>740086657I made it no secret that I knew her and eventually traded her. Getting a political prisoner who's locked in a flooded rat-infested prison and gets tortured and mindraped by some crazy dyke in exchange for a bratty teen is the only logical move. Could not care less about the hurt feelings of a spoiled super star. And then I shot him.
My weekend project is gonna be making the white-of-the-eye loafers, I have a pretty similar old pair. Just gotta track down the eye buttons
>>740087225you can be hostile but you can't ignore the lesbo option, the only saving grace was that it was a skillroll I had low points in so it failed
>>740087450What the hell made Karolina think this was a suitable gift?
>>740087634I had an alternate purple check where I could just impress her by mind piloting the bartender doofus to make an actual good drink for once, which I took because I also had no chance in hell of passing the tongue the enemy check.
>>740087074>production value was higher than DEWouldn't say so. The game basically has no music, despite music being fairly important to the plot. It's just very light ambience. World felt very dead because of it.
>>740087074It's not forced, you can do the prisoner exchange insteadYou can also shoot her, I think a failed check literally kills her kek but that's a gameoverIf you met the Duchess, you can use her technique on her>>740087639Cascade wears weird clothing, seems to fit
>>740087634Iirc you can get another check if you learned a technique from her sister, the same thing you can use with HOLOCENE later on.
>>740086557She has the necessary constitution.
>>740087639If someone gave me a pair of cool shoes like that as a gift, my legs would spread like saloon doors.
>>740087887it has Blood Golem, that was enough for me
I need a list of all discolikes that has come out so far. I've played DE, ZP, EE, and Suzerain.
>>740088874You're missing Citizen Sleeper.
Does anyone know if it is possible to get the Renotel Technician's tool after you find the hidden terminal behind the door if you already went through the dialogue option for that before?
>>740081306there's a voice replacer mod over at nexus that changes it over to the disco VA
>>740063993Let me guess it's another fake crpg where you play as law enforcement but can't torture, intimidate, or murder anyone despite the people who made this game believing ACAB
>>740090008You need progress the game past a certain point in the main questline. The technician will appear near the door.
>>740087985uooooooooh teenager correction!!!!!!

>>740092476We're kind of there already aren't we?
>>740086103They bonded and he felt bad for himOr maybe he was an ignorant replayer?
>>740094160Fuck off Peter. Einzenshitten my ass.
Surprisingly a really great game. The plot, lore, and mysteries were woven together really nicely. It felt like they planned the story and progression a lot better than DE.The art doesn’t really match DE, and the narrator is so bad i had to turn it off(just character voices). Combined with the slow start and uninteresting early characters, it almost made me drop the game. I’m glad I didn’t.
>>740063993I finished it. It was good - probably the best thing I've played this year. Slow at the start but by the time the plot and your mission opens up I was having a great time with it. I will probably buy anything made by anyone who had anything to do with making DE. Will they all be good? Absolutely not - but I like the idea of DE-likes being a subgenre long term. Dickless redditors will claim that treating these types of games like the personal property of Kurviz and Rostov will somehow make that more likely, but they're fucking retards.
>>740095443>and the narrator is so bad i had to turn it off(just character voices)Honestly, it nearly made me stop playing because it just sounds like they got some chainsmoking woman hopped up on morphine doing it. It's obvious they want to do it like DE but it just doesn't work.
>>740094160If he wanted to cheer him up, it'd make sense to give him his favorite album of hers. Not a song that he hasn't even heard himself or he'd be fucking dead.

>>740097476Cool, I guess. I genuinely have no idea what the drama is about though.
>>740066551What are you mad about from that screenshot?
>>740070502>He doesn't try beating the game in as little days as possible to simulate a time limit that the developers were too pussy to implement
>>740095443doubt it
>>740097610probably the word 'homosexual'
>>740097610Probably the born capitalist, reborn communist line and then the homosexual tendencies bit. Hersh is 100% into women but she might be into men as well seeing as how she'll call some guy "mega-fuckable" nearly unprompted.
>>740097946>as how she'll call some guy "mega-fuckable"Who? All I ever saw from her was stuff like this. She really needs her face dragged across a pussy carpet.
>>740071332>>740071680>>740071763Argo Tuulik, Olga Moskvina, Andrus Laansalu and Michael Oswell stayed in ZA/UM after Robert Kurvitz, Aleksander Rostov and Helen Hindpere.Later, they left as well due to their own problems with ZA/UM, but instead of joining up with their former comrades in game development, they made their own studio with the help of some guy that calls Steam a fiefdom.Meanwhile, Argo on Kurvitz's version of what happened at ZA/UM:>I disagree with Robert's version of events. The way it was presented was dishonest and manipulative. Argo on Kurvit's claim that he wrote 50% of DE>I don't think that's true. I've heard these crooked estimations from Robert before. I've heard worse ones.Argo on Kurvit'z leadership>His feedback would include saying stuff like "it looks too shit" and "too ugly". I don't think he understood that leading is a burden, not a privilege. Making Disco Elysium was so difficult that it changed some people. It was fucking horrible. I don't like how it has ended up.
>>740098086There is some guy near the tram on the 2nd or 3rd day I believe that needs help because the guards were purposefully getting him lost. Hersh will notice he looks different and you can call him "mega-fuckable". He calls her shallow but admits he's a mail order groom for old hags and he's just using it to get ahead in life. I don't think you ever see him again after that. I just found that very notable since she really is a turbodyke otherwise and I don't think she'll just say that to be manipulative as you could with Goat Eyes. I still feel bad about doing that check.
>>740079336Zero Parades starts worse than Disco Elysium, but in my opinion, it builds up better and has a better finale too. You'll know the game is really getting started when you're done talking with your contact in the secret jail.For the skills, you are completely correct. They are just a way worse version of Disco Elysium, they shouldn't have bothered trying to give them different personalities. They're not nearly as memorable and it just muddies things up for no reason.The MC is indeed hot (Well, the paperdoll and portrait. Don't look at the model too closely. Same applies to every character in this game, really.)
>>740080154>Should you even bother imprinting on PSEUDOPOD? Tried it once, it turned him into some sock schizo and I reloaded.He's an option for your partner on the last mission. I believe the other options for that part of the team are Ester (Which you can fuck up recruiting, like I did) or Karolina (Which you may not want to risk sending on the mission because you don't want that poor girl to die)I didn't want to fuck with imprinting on some catatonic dude, though, so I risked it with Karolina. Sorry, babe. Gaslighting time.
>>740088874Sovereign Syndicate. It's alright.There's also Rue Valley, but that one is honestly just straight up a visual novel. It's also a very mixed game. I enjoyed it but I see why it's controversial.Suzerain is not a DE at all. Neither is Citizen Sleeper, for that matter. But if you're looking for games in that kind of wavelength, try Roadwarden and Pentiment.
>>740095443>>740095605I seriously don't get people's issues with the narrator.>sounds like they got some chainsmoking woman hopped up on morphineI know, that's the best part.
>>740099412I got used to her, but she's really forced at times. She didn't need to end half her sentences with an elongated word. It's very LARPing theater kid vibes.
THIS GAME IS AWESOME
>>740064020Nobody tell him.
>>740098265So again: >>740071756
The health system is a lot more fun than the disco one, though I think it created some problems in check difficulty because of the 'exert' ability. As for the decision-making sections, I just wish there were more of them and they were more complex.The clothing system feels stuck between wanting to be disco and wanting to be a disguise system, and we end up with nonsensical for the story system of wearing random clothes and disguises which are horribly underutilised throughout the entire game.
>>740097476That's a weird thing to post in every thread, even more autistic than steam charts
The first Zero Parades art I've seen... Eh...
I like this one, though.
Oh, found anothe roneI'm liking all of these on xitter
>>740099412The lines by themselves are probably fine, but it didn't flow very well. The drawn out presentation gets very tiresome in longer dialogues. Could be a self insert thing too i guess, reading myself was simply more immersive and enjoyable
>>740074269I think you need to go between Gonza and the other doctor (who is Karolina's father) to get past Septimus, or at least that's how I did it. Karolina's father will ask you to see her, which reveals a new line to say to Septimus.
>>740101574It's way too late. I literally have no task in the journal to find Karolina. I've done all the quests between doctors. Stole the dummy, tapped Gonza for pill dealer and all. Not once I had any prompt to ask Hugo about his daughter.
>>740063993y'all are traitors for playing this
>talk to Frederik and get him off the phone>save the game just before using the phone to talk to the Miracle Line>come back to the game and reload>Frederik is back at the phone>he only has a couple repeating lines and the only option I get in dialogue is to leave>old pilots nearby act as if he did get off the phoneFuck, am I softlocked now? I don't have any earlier saves and I'd hate to be unable to progress the game due to something like this.
The game is definitely written to cater towards left wing women, but if you shift things around in your mind then you can learn to appreciate media that wasn't made for you, as long as it doesn't seem to hate you
>>740102983did you ask your controller about her? or whoever it was that gave you info about your old crew
>>740103551Because a CEO fired some artists who were taking paid leave for months, not doing work, and who abused their coworkers, all after voluntarily distributing more than 50% of their shares, and because this makes said artists sad?
>>740103834>did you ask your controller about her?I think I did. I mean, there is no option to ask her at this point in the game, so I think I had to. But yeah, I think if something broke, it had to be post-jail around the time the crew assemble quests started.
>>740063993How does the general character writing compare to Disco? I've heard people say the overall game is decent but haven't seen anyone actually latch onto anything about the story or cast.
>>740063993Eh. Mid. Though I liked it's damage mechanics
>>740074269>>740102983If you speak with Karolina's dad, she gives you dialogue that you can use on Septimus to pass without skill checksAnd it's not too late. Try it. The quest is finished if you are able to gather a team, but you can still gather more.>>740103813I never got Frederick off the phone and he's still not there sometimes kek
>>740104487You liked it is damage mechanics?
>>740098641>They are just a way worse version of Disco Elysium, they shouldn't have bothered trying to give them different personalities. They're not nearly as memorable and it just muddies things up for no reason.This is one of the biggest things missing from Parades that made DE great. The skills barely have any personality if at all. I miss DRAMA, VOLITION and HALF-LIGHT like you wouldn't believe.
zero sales: for dead studios
>>740104147Because za/um stole the disco ip
>>740104364I personally only found a few of the characters memorable, feels like none of them had lines that stuck to my mind either.It's fine and all of the characters feel like their own people, but it's nothing special.I feel like the story takes the wheel more in this game when compared to DE, where the characters were the main attraction, I also consider the different skills as their own characters for this assessment.
>>740104364>but haven't seen anyone actually latch onto anything about the storyI think the world building is cool and on par with DE's, despite the fact it was made in a jiffy rather than built up over a decade like DE'sThe story with Cascade and her former team getting back together after a mission they fucked up is really coolFor that matter, the build up to the final mission and the final mission itself are phenomenal. I think the game really sticks the landing in a way that DE doesn't even come close to, in my opinion. Just insanely satisfying stuff. I'm probably overhyping it a bit, cause I went in with low expectations so now people will expect 10/10, but it really hit the spot for me.>or castLots of people here love Dr Gonza, but I think he's reddit as fuck. Bagman and the EMTR guys in the city are also reddit as fuck but I don't think I've ever seen anyone say good things about them, so we're in agreement there.As for characters I really liked, you got The Man With No Heart, Holocene and Karolina as the main ones. I don't want to spoil anything about them, but yeah, I really liked them.I am also somewhat positive on Tempo (Black guy gangster but the British smartass style, former partner), Septimus (Son of a dictator, creep with a heart of gold), Ramses (Hacker type man, kind of a weed lmao kind of dude but genuinely chill and not too obnoxious) and Etsel (Very competent spy that is sick of your shit and doesn't want to get dragged back into another of your suicide missions) but not enough that I fell head over heels for them like the three characters I mentioned above.
>>740076265https://files.catbox.moe/7uihez.zipuse with the texture replacer plugin that's on nexus
>>740105465>I also consider the different skills as their own charactersAs you should
>>740100270>>740100971Cute
>>740104525>If you speak with Karolina's dadThere is nothing. I can ask him about the clinic or buying sleeping pills. I did the checks about him being a dog killer. I failed the convincing check but broke into the boat and took the dummy. There is no "quest chain" about finding Karolina. The game simply doesn't consider it a task.Here is how my convo tree with Septimius looks like. There is nothing to pass.And by "too late" I mean that I'm sure that if I had identified this as a bug way early, I probably could've loaded and done the conversations about assembling the crew again, but I won't since I've played already too much since for it to be worth it.
>>740106489>day 10caramba
>>740106489Yeah, ok, looks like you're locked out of Karolina then.I got locked out of Etzel. I don't know if it was a bug or intentional, but she was pissed at me, so it made sense that she wouldn't join me.
>>740103551I never pledged allegiance thoughever.
I do want to play this game again with a guide in a few months after there's a complete guide on Steam and they patched it. Genuinely interested in exploring some alternatives and some sidequests I didn't bother with.Having said that, I will still make the trade. But this time I'll shoot Poor Dante.
I replayed DE several times. I don't feel like replaying ZP even once.
>>740105746First post I've seen that makes me kind of want to check out the game
>>740107090I don't think she can join. You either threaten her or you apologize, and she sort of complies. Regardless, she is out of town with her husband after setting up the EMTERR meet.
>>740107338I accidentally played as a proper spy the first time around and got the second best ranking, can't wait to be an absolute fuck up the next go around.
>>740105083If they stole it then they'd be in court. In fact, Kurwitz and co. were the ones who tried to steal something: they tried to convince the lead developer to send them the source code after they'd been fired (for not working and for abusing their coworkers).
>>740107627I've said it in this thread already, but if you give it a try, don't mind the slower start. The game really starts building up properly when you meet the contact in the secret jail.
>>740107750>I don't think she can join.Aw, man. Really? That's disappointing.
Playing games made for women makes me feel gross
>>740104701>Half lightI miss him. Instinct/Sensor feels more like some survival schizophrenic which does kinda feed into the "you're playing a woman" vibe.
>>740105787Thanks for the dolphin porn, anon.
>>740107090Etzel hates Cascade anon, she did try to stab youWe're lucky she allows her to take her husband's wolf cup
Alright, looked it up on plebbit and turns out that there's only 3 possible team combinations you can do.That's underwhelming. I honestly thought you could recruit Etoc if you did things right.Kind of funny that you need to imprint onto Pseudopod to even play with Holocene.
>>740099959I like the health system but I fucking hate the healing one. Needing to juggle stuff just so you can have a decent balance is annoying though the idea that you have to drink 3 cans of coffee to not feel tired but doing so made you more anxious so you down 4 bottles of alcohol but that made you schizophrenic so now you chuff 5 boxes of cigarettes to keep that down.
>>740109524Excuse me. 6 team combinations.
>>740100270>>740100486>>740100971Decent
>>740109724I think it's cool. You can only balance it so it's always going up, which meant that a lot of the time I was with my 3 bars near limit. Made for tense moments as I kept trying to rush through the game. Having said that, you can cheat it with weed if you got the money. Weed just has one of the bars go massively down so you can keep everything low by using it and the other stuff. Goat Eyes sells it.
>>740110184Doesn't it give you like a -2 to all checks though? That's pretty rough.
Does anyone know what happens if you use the red disc on pseudopod? Does he go catatonic for the second time or is he immune?
>>740110506Oh, it does? Nevermind then kek. That's cool, then. I guess the actual way to cheat the system would be to just abuse the fact that the developers were too pussy to add a proper time limit, like they 100% should have.>Get the way to skip time from the copper lady>Do checks until your bars are near half>Work, work, work>Skip time>Sleeping pills>SleepRinse and repeat
>>740110507Not done it myself but someone else said that if he survives the tram scene and you have the disc then you can play it to him to wipe him again and he's at peace
Speaking of sleeping pills, I was disappointed that I used them a bunch of times and never got nightmare sequences like the description promised.
If there's no time limit, then what triggers the leaves falling? For me, it was related to playing the red tape with the man with no heart, and then I couldn't finish various side quests. I also feel like I could have avoided that scene, but maybe it's inevitable.
>>740110969Really, it should kill you if you drink alcohol with them.>>740111149Yeah that, the game signposts it hard so you don't accidentally trigger it.
>>740111149Once you figure out all of the details, when, who and where. You can get that information in a variety of ways, so it can happen seemingly random
>>740111149For me, it happened the first time I walked into the bar right after I recruited Ramses.I'm sure you need to have 3 people on your team (that can work together) for it to trigger, at least. That's one of the requirements.
>>740110506>>740110787It's -2 to all blue checks>>740111149>>740111667Dont forget the gun tooYou need to assemble a full crew as well
There's no reactions to you being naked right? I don't recall anyone commenting that I'm only wearing a BDSM harness and christmas lights. Teens won't talk to me if I'm wearing the janny gear though.
do the dreams karolina talks to you about mean anything or have any use?i kinda did like with all cute girls and let her talk without really listening
>>740107905Your hateboner for Kurvitz doesn't change the fact that none of the creatives behind DE are still working at za/um today, almost none of the original dev team too
>>740112456It gives you a buff and I don't think it means anything more than that.
>>740112456>have any use?All the crews members give you a temporary stat buff, Karolina and Holocene's buffs have limited usesPseudopod and Ramses' ones are infinite and can be done daily
Im gunna be honest if the mc was a guy i would give it a shot, I miss Harry

>>740115259Probably back to school. She was just there with her dad.
This was pretty funny. Too bad they give a definitive answer to it instead of letting you ponder on the existence of a soul.
>>740116993>Spent two days wondering where Reno went>He moved up his penthouseFucker. Though what does it mean for those who managed to get to space? The whole soul thing seems to align to what Reno was talking about so do they just not get reborn at all?
