AcidCat posted:Unpopular Vidjagame Opinion: I am sick to death of reading one more deadbrain post about Disco Elysium. Every time I read anything about this game I am that much more determined to never play it. OMG you can read so much text in this game with its trash-filter art style and edgy nihilistic protag! The whole fandom around this thing is maximum cringe, I don't need to personally handle the hot rock out of this pretentious fartsniffing hotzone to know I should stay far away from this particular existential sickness. this is weird as hell who gives a poo poo what internet people think, if you actually think about internet forum people when you're not on the internet you're completely hopelessly poisoned

Is it out of fear that you'll become one of them or some kind of guilt by association? How thin skinned do you have to be to let the feelings of a bunch of internet dumbasses dictate what you do with your time? Well it's more than that I read some reviews and poo poo and realized this was a game I would probably regret buying by hour two. But years later goons still talking about this garbage.

Be like me and regret all the gaming decisions you make without other people. Related: Ninja Gaiden 3 and Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge are horrible games and Im glad they all took a deep look at themselves and said "yeah lets do Nioh instead"

the protagonist of disco elysium is many things, including a communist, fascist, centrist, libertarian and liberal all at once, but explicitly not a nihilist (though his ancient reptilian brain and limbic system might be)

SCheeseman posted:You would probably enjoy the game Perhaps not. I got Disco Elysium for my birthday because I put it on my wishlist, because I had heard it was this amazing game with interesting design ideas such as equippable thoughts so I avoided watching any vidos or LP's, etc to avoid any kind of spoilers. Then I played it for two hours. I found it contrived, condescending and pretentious and wanted to stab it, but instead I just uninstalled it and did my best to forget about it. That's my unpopular opinion. My other unpopular opinion is I don't like the Dark Souls/Demon Souls series at all, but at least I got to figure that out from watching other people play it. Deeprock Galactic on the other hand? I never expected to love that game as much as I do but there's something about being a heavily armed, alcoholic dwarf just mining all those goodies that scratches an itch. Given my experiences that's not an unpopular opinion though.

Disco Elysium is hella cool conceptually in that it's a game where the protag is ostensibly controlled by their subconscious and the player can only try to fight it with their conscious mind but usually they're driven by base instinct. Just like real life. And I think that gives it the potential to do something very unique that no other game has ever really done. But I don't know if it actually does that or delivers on the concept because all 3 times I've tried to play it I only made it through the tutorial apartment before realizing the protag was a sleazebag cop caricature of the most pointless and pathetic Drunk Uncle imaginable and all of the personality facets were written like weird edgy Tim Burton-meets-Jhonen Vasquez characters with a bunch of annoyingly transliterated dialog and gave up

Breetai posted:Disco Elysium is the Homestuck of video games. I watched the pickle Rick episode of Rick and Morty yesterday, and was sort of blown away. Not by how good it is (though it is actually pretty good) but by how much the actual pickle part is a piss of itself, like, it's purposefully asinine and stupid and poo poo. And then you have loving Susan Sarandon in the payoff clarifying that it's not ironically cool or funny, it is a terrible and useless and failed assertion. Like it's one of the only times Rick truly 'fails', is how poo poo it is. And all these loving gently caress head fans are like "YEAAAHH! PICKLE RICK!"

Disco Elysium owns so much, one of the greatest RPGs ever. It took like 20 years for a dev to notice the combat was by far the worst part of Baldurs Gate/Fallout style RPGs and did something about it. It's right up there with Suikoden II and Final Fantasy IX.

I didn't like Disco Elysium much, beat the game earning zero achievements, and get routinely criticized for somehow playing the game wrong and this stupid conversation has led to me reinstalling it and playing it again so thanks a lot, jerks.

with stuff like disco elysium, and adventure/point and click games in general, i always have this desire to be engrossed in one of them but i can very rarely ever get there. i just zone out because the process of interacting with anything is so boring, and what ever good stuff there is i don't find or there isn't enough of to offset the boredom of all the middling stuff. it's similar to how i go back and try to play old jrpgs i missed when i was a kid. there's a moment i'm looking for which might just not be accessible to me anymore except in my memories, and i'll have to go about reaching that moment through other things now.

Her circle of people mentioned it and when she asked me about it and I was like "oh its like a choose your own adventure book" she thought she should give it a whirl. Poor woman had no idea how to progress the text at the start of the game, like literally stuck at the first screen she's that disconnected from gaming.

Disco Elysium huffing its own farts is a valid criticism but it gets away with it because it's genuinely funny, well written, sets up an engaging mystery, I am 100% not a fan of stories in games (i play dota and rocket league all day) but I wanted to know everything about Disco Elyisums hosed up cynical word.
