ShakeZula posted:Very excited to finally play this game once the Final Cut comes out, mostly because what I've pieced together from reading this thread makes the gameplay sound incomprehensibly complex. I've found it to be pretty simple, actually. 90% of it is dialog choices, and the rest is your normal click to move/interact/etc. There's no QTEs, platforming, shooting, etc. I think the most complicated part is either the skills you choose or the Thought Cabinet. For the skills, think of them more as party members than skills and you'll be ok. Each one gives you buffs to certain things (like Perception makes it easier to see some things, Composure makes it harder to lose your cool, etc) and the higher you raise the skills the more they help out, but they will also but in on your conversations more and try to influence you more. Like Electrochemistry really wants to go get hosed up on booze and pills, and will absolutely let you know. For the Thought Cabinet, that's more abstract. You encounter certain ideas and you can choose to make them part of your personality by thinking on them for a period of time. You put the concept you want to absorb into your cabinet and it will give you various buffs/debuffs, and then after X amount of time has passed in game you will have internalized the idea and will get different buffs/debuffs. Some of those can be pretty obtuse, but there's no penalty for not choosing any (and if you want, you can always look up what they do).

Yeah, when I first spotted this thread before playing the game what I had in my head was something a lot grander than the actual game. The game is good, but I'd say it's pretty much a visual novel and it's very narrow in scope.

Even the skills and thought cabinet don't have to be complicated at all. You can get through the game just fine picking whatever sounds best for flavor/roleplaying purposes. (there's one check required for the endgame that's based off a single skill, but you can get a LOT of bonuses to it by doing sidequests so it's not as bad as some people make it sound)

Bad news if you're Australian and expecting to play this game on consoles.quote:Disco Elysium, the highly-regarded role-playing game by independent Estonian developer ZA/UM has had its ‘director’s cut’ re-release, entitled The Final Cut, refused classification by the Classification Board of Australia. It will be interesting to see how the devs react. I can almost see them reacting the same way Devolver did with Hotline Miami 2, even if that means they don't appeal the decision and the game can no longer be sold here, which would be tragic.

coolusername posted:Wait, poo poo. Does that impact steam and PC? I'm Australian. If you have the game already you should be fine. The Final Cut is an update for existing PC players. If you don't have the game... it depends on whether Steam pulls the game from purchase for Australians. I'm not sure at this time but it is possible now that the ruling has been made.

isn't Advesperascit the name of some city in Mundi? checking... oh, not only is it a mondial city, it's where dolores dei was crowned. I wonder if this berlin-esque new area in the final cut is there.

pcgamer posted:This has also been an opportunity for the team to address a criticism some players had: that political dialogue options often took things to comical extremes. It's fitting for a game with such an eccentric protagonist, but ZA/UM decided to give the vision quests more "heartfelt and serious" moments, and more nuance. There's room for the detective to grow and mature by the end of them. But there will still be laughs, Hindpere promises. oh boy, devastation looms

Au Revoir Shosanna posted:some new VO examples in here does the narration include descriptors in the dialogue? like, in the talk between rene and gaston, we only hear "...whining about your back..." does the full thing go like - "Have you no shame," "the man says to his partner," "whining about your back..." where lenval brown interrupts midway? or is it just the line without the descriptor?

Heartfelt fascism, hmmmmmmmmm. On another note, just saw the game is getting this big update soon and was planning to get into it again, have any of the previous updates done anything major to the game since release? noticed a few large downloads now and then for the game.
