World War Mammories posted:"+1 Kim trusts you / +2 Kim really trusts you" is one of my favorite lines and it's a goddamn stat bonus. video games...... are art That one Shivers check made me legit emotional. Seeing it start at like 10% and end up at 97% because of all the things I'd done along the way was pretty cool. "+1 Made that terrible phone call" got me a lot more than I expected.

Tiler Kiwi posted:anyways i think one of the bigger points of DE is that there's more to a human being than ideology and that boiling humanity or the course of society down to any kind of simplified analysis disconnects you from the actual lived lives of the little people and turns you into something like the sunday friend Yeah. I felt bad for Rene because he was caught up in the romantic defense of the Revachol nation and even as it's disintegrated around him once global capital came in to crush the revolution, it's something that he's clung to no matter what. Also isn't he a security guard at the docks working for the union? I love that the game shows the contradictions of people's beliefs and their material circumstances, and instead of pointing at this hypocrisy and yelling LOOK LOOK AT THIS, it instead says that this is fine. Sometimes it's funny, like how Harry can be completely incoherent, sometimes it's tragic like with Measurehead, sometimes it's sinister like with the Sunday Friend, but it's all a part of how human beings are. World War Mammories posted:"+1 Kim trusts you / +2 Kim really trusts you" is one of my favorite lines and it's a goddamn stat bonus. video games...... are art There are so many great scenes in the game, and naturally people love the phasmid scene or the tribunal and rightly so, but for me it's when you finally get to the car that's sinking into the ocean and Kim just lets Harry take his time figuring out what happened. He doesn't push, he doesn't get impatient, he just sits with this guy on a swing set he doesn't know, definitely isn't sure about at this point, and lets him come to terms with what happen in his own time. It was touching. Dreylad fucked around with this message at 22:53 on Mar 26, 2021 |

Ever heard of one Gabriel García Márquez?

I passed the check to deliver the news myself but I think Kim has your back if you fail it. He was just some random drunk who hit his head and died out there all alone in the cold, but it was sad as gently caress seeing it. It was real rough meeting his wife and telling her he's never coming back. The whole thing was very desolate. I think there's also an option to just report it to the precinct and let them take care of it, but what kind of person would do that?

A few of my skills told me I didn't want to deal with it, same as they told me about the figurines, so I trusted them and just reported it. Then this thread taught me I missed out!

This one was quite likely the most emotionally impactful scene I've ever come across in a video game. Especially that short exchange when the woman says "Dead? But..." and Empathy finishes the sentence for her with "...but he was just here. Alive." was gut-wrenching. Just the sheer mundaneity of the whole thing contrasted with everything else being so wild and wacky really drives it home I think.

I avoided this thread until I finished the game and I’m glad for it. So much dialogue and moments wouldn’t have been as fun or impactful had I read about them. So newbies to the game: leave this thread now and don’t come back until you see the credits. Trust me on this.

No Truce with the Furies sounded better until you played the game and understood it, though. But they're both good titles. I've agreed to replay Final Cut with my girlfriend who's stuck thousands of miles away due to covid (she has played it before, too), letting her make the choices. Despite this game being beloved by us both this could backfire, as she always plays games as the biggest jerk imaginable. I'm not sure my heart will be able to withstand saying mean things to Kim, but I'll soon find out.

Kurvitz said in RPS that was a matter of personal principle (love the attitude) RPS posted:RPS: Right, the real last question: why is the game no longer called No Truce With The Furies?

I had no idea what No Truce with the Furies means, so I googled the poem. It's from 1995, by RS Thomas, some Welsh nationalist:quote:Reflections According to some Reddit guy this is one interpretation: quote:It's from the R.S. Thomas poem "Reflections," which deals with the impossibility of escaping your self-image or the shifting pieces of your identity you can see in any mirror. You can't run from them or make peace with these "Furies," these vengeful pieces of yourself, your warring mind; you can't creep up on them or possess them. Who you are is never fully within your control. The best you can do is drink in the icy truths of identity as they arrive, try to live with them. But there can be no true peace with yourself except in death. The poem's pretty interesting I guess, but the original game name isn't particularly evocative IMO. Disco Elysium is great.
