Nosfereefer posted:i was sorry cop until i called up hq and got mocked to hell and back. revanchol eats the weak, while ridiculous levels of bravado makes pretty much anyone fall in line I love two things about that call. The first is the way the game manages to hide the whole truth of what's going on with everyone at Precinct 41, even when your skills are narrating events you aren't present for. The second is the absolutely beautiful job Jules Pidieu does of refusing to make himself a pure conduit for cop-rage by completely spinning down all of your wild rants. Sorry cop, no regrets. You can completely sorry yourself out just on Sylvie. I am an emergency backup skull brought to this earth to repair all the things that Harry duBois broke, such as the great skua, the case of THE HANGED MAN, and Harry duBois.

re: Inland Empire's intuitions, I think arguably the most supernatural thing you get to do with it that isn't tremendously obvious happens near the point of no return. There's no reason whatsoever to stuff the Horrible Necktie into the alcohol at that point to create a molotov -- it's a good idea, but what makes it stick out is when you do so. Not only does it serve on a meta level as a way of telling the player this is going to be a huge deal, it's also an out of the blue intuition that, if the rolls play out properly, straight up saves Harry's life, and makes for the most poetic way of dispatching Kortenaer. The fact it comes so soon after the mandatory shivers check serves to add to the supernatural mystique too -- once Shivers opens the door (literally), Inland Empire has more of a license to get weird.

Fister Roboto posted:I just started off with the Thinker archetype, which was a real blast because you start off with 2 health and 1 morale You do know you can pop a pill and recover while the game is transitioning to black right? I, too, started with only 1 health on my first run and even with how poor you are in the beginning there's enough health pick up and few enough encounters where you'll lose health you will be hard pressed to kill yourself. pedro0930 fucked around with this message at 10:08 on Oct 24, 2020 |

You all keep forgetting that when you fail karaoke (as you should) Kim is the only one in the room to give you a slow clap of appreciation. Not out of pity or support, but he liked it It is imo a powerful moment, considering how conformist he was brought up. I think its the moment he understood harry Sekenr fucked around with this message at 14:11 on Oct 24, 2020 |

I do love things like that. May not be a coincidence that one of my first and dearest games (Starwing, aka Star Fox) has some secrets that you'd almost never figure out on you own, despite one of them being right there on the map screen.

What if Disco Elysium is only this good because it's the game they always wanted to make and there are like a decade's worth of writing ideas all put in there and the next project will be thinner and less satisfying because they put all their best thoughts into the first game

The writers made Disco’s writing feel so smooth and effortless that I actually believe they can top this first game.

I think it's highly unlikely that they put everything they thought of into Disco Elysium... I know they cut out a lot of things because of time constraints or development constraints.

Also at the beginning of development they hadn't even thought of giving the skills their own personalities and dialogue, that only happened after the lead writer saw the art for the Drama skill. The Thought Cabinet was also not originally planned, and almost didn't make it into the game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9X0-W5erEXw In other words, a bunch of what makes DE so great hadn't even been contemplated until a good while into the development process. Imagine where they might go now that they've got DE's mechanics as a new baseline. ThaumPenguin fucked around with this message at 09:57 on Oct 25, 2020 |

Honestly DE was so good that I'm fine if its followups fail to achieve the same heights. It'd be hard for it to feel like wasted potential when ZA/UM already created one of the best written games I've ever played.

I bought this yesterday and there is something technically wrong here. I hard-locked hard enough yesterday shortly after starting as to have to hit the power switch; and now I seem to be locked on this screen, with none of the UI working, after clicking on the wood wall I like the writing but this is getting old

Had my game bug out and it sent me to an empty black void. But it also gave me the rare "Palerunner" achievement so that's nice.

Apparently the Palerunner achievement is for glitching the game, which definitely feels in line for DE.

I had the same problems, including hardlocking on that wood wall and overall the game seemed to run like rear end. I usually mirror my display onto a monitor and to a TV so I can switch between the two at ease, when I adjusted windows to display ONLY to the monitor it solved all my problems.
