The Suzerain of Revachol straddled Elysium like a coked up colossus for hundreds of years, which resulted in ethnicities and cultures from all over the world winding up in its apricot-flavored melting pot, even long after its fall to the Commune and then to the Coalition. Why on not-Earth would you expect it to only have "authentic" French or UK accents?

So guess whose 3rd playthrough (and 4th playthrough I'm involved in) found out your case file can tell you your scores on sorry/communism/etc. And I don't mean I didn't notice it, I mean I never found the case file or wasn't playing when it was found so I never knew that did things. I always thought it was weird your case notes had a blank rectangle that never filled in/didn't show kims notes.

Alchenar posted:My only query about the sequel is that DE feels like a pretty complete manifesto and that manifesto is what makes it special (otherwise it's just a trivially easy point and click adventure game). Where do you go from there? lol if there is one thing you shouldn't worry from a crack team of communist writers is their output and what they can develop from there  expect 10k words on random lore blurbs. Rhetoric and Encyclopedia will tag team to provide a complete grundrisse on the political economy of Revachol

I just finished this masterpiece yesterday after about 6 months, baby, so am finally allowing myself to post in this thread! Disco. I immediately want to play it again. I feel like I must have missed so much. jiggerypokery fucked around with this message at 18:14 on Aug 3, 2022 |

It’s just Sea Power now. Also i previously said the sequel should be named Jamrock Shuffle but I’ve reconsidered. You should play as a paledriver and the game should be titled Motorway South

jiggerypokery posted:I immediately want to play it again. I feel like I must have missed so much. Discoers: post your highly curated list of can't-miss, iconic moments that warrant going back and making sure you experience if you didn't in your first playthrough. Mine: 1. Full conversation with the cryptid. I actually missed this the first time (god forbid I make Harry take a loving shower now and then), and as a result I felt like the game's ending was kind of abrupt and unsatisfying. I had to go back and edit my save to finally get it, but man was it worth it. Of all the things to culminate in this incredibly human moment of hope and surrealism, that stupid loving bug fetch quest had to be it. The game's last sequences are incredibly incomplete without this. 2. Payphone calls from the boardwalk. My IRL version of Harry's relationship ended years ago, and I'm in a much better one now, but man did this scene bring it all back and gently caress me up. You don't really have a clear sense of what happened to Harry or who That Woman was at this point in the game, but the nigh-impossible Volition needed to stop you from making the call immediately makes it clear, and it's only more torturous from there. It's amazing not so much from the writing, but from the fact that a game mechanic itself can be used to communicate something emotionally devastating. 3. Graffiti, yours and Cindy's. I just think this is one of those moments that may seem small in the scheme of things, but it's another place where the game tips its hand: it's about failure, yes, but it's also about hope. 4. The island dream. If the payphone scene cuts deep, the dream rips your heart out. Heartache and broken relationships are not exactly new ground in art, but I've never personally experienced something that so acutely brings back the idiotic desperation of wanting this thing back in your life. Especially a thing you know is fictitious and idealized, but some part of you doesn't loving care and will never completely let go of wanting it back.

I missed all of these but the first one on my first playthrough, although the worst thing I missed was Joyce's explanation of the Pale. I already knew the Pale was a thing from reading about the game beforehand, but I'm still really mad I didn't get to hear her explanation blind. Also a very important question: how would you map the 4 possible combinations of shaved/unshaved and expression/no expression to the four different ideologies? It's hard to limit dead inside no sideburns no expression Harry to just one of them. I do have my own answers but I'd like to hear other people's first...

One thing I really appreciate about the writing in this game is that it's so *easy* to write up any piece of media in Disco Elysium style. Like all you really have to do is imagine if what you're writing is something the narrator would say and it fits.Pattonesque posted:ASHLEY: You've got to choose, commander.

church and a lot of my other can’t-misses have already been touched on but the conversation with La Revacholiere after losing yourself to the ecstasy of anodic dance hits hard as well. I got it on my second playthrough as ultraliberal apocalypse cop

I missed this on my first playthrough: The encounter with The Pigs is one of the best set pieces in the whole game. It really leans into all of DE's strengths, and hammers home the danger inherent to your weapon in a way that adds real weight to the later tribunal. Plus the resolution/Hardie epilogue adds important depth to the Hardies/the local community.

I want to do a bad cop run but I can't handle fully voiced Kim Kitsuragi being mad at me. I'd pay good money to have his voice actor read an audio book or something. Am I part of the homosexual agenda?!  An iconic moment I didn't see mentioned yet: Testing the intercom and getting the spooky ghost/recording/echo lady on the other end. I'm not sure how it connects exactly to anything else but it was the first thing in the game that really set the tone for me on how strange the game can get. One of my favorites is Volition (I might have that mixed up) cutting in on your interrogation of Klaasje and calling out how compromised your thought processes are, and then all of them talking back denying that anything is wrong. Making your skills your literal thought process is so loving good.

All the skills helping you deal with people is so good, but somehow when someone completely outmaneuvers you, leaving you with no tools for genuine conclusions, it's even better.

It kinda hits you between the eyes in a "oh poo poo" kind of way and pulls the rug from under you. All of a sudden you don't know how much you can trust your instincts, if at all, when it comes to this topic. It's even better when you talk to Kim and he's like "I assure you, I am not compromised"

That was a call from very, very long ago that got there even better is that there is pale radiation phenomena happening in Martinaise when the collapse limit is like thousands of miles away, though!

My iconic game moments worth doing a replay for: 1) the culmination of the necktie's narrative at the tribunal if you've made all the passive checks talking with it all along 2) speaking with La Revacholiere 3) the ferris wheel

I guess more of a significant moment than an iconic one but Kim's 'just don't tell her you know how she feels. You don't' is the one line that's stuck with me over anything else.
