speaking of Kerrigan in SC2 her infested form has high heels. well actually since she's a zerg it's actually her feet, but they're shaped like high heels anyway. in SC1 it might partially be due to the old art and crunchy CG but she's like clearly not human anymore lol. has the same face and that's it. even her voice is totally different. then they made her a babe for some reason, except she's still an alien so she's made of chitin plates shaped like a babe for... reasons

or the disco elysium freaks. that was my own personal experience with a game i loved being ruined lol. well not really ruined for me but nobody would believe me that it was actually good

disco elysium is so fuckin good and when you read the politics freaks talking about it feels like they're describing a different game

Talking about how it's the Epic Communist game and owns the neolibs and it's about how unions are win or whatever and I'm like the bits that stuck with me the most are the bow collector thought cabinet, the conversation with the wife of the guy you find on the pier and the bit where you can try to get out of paying your tab by telling the guy you'll put him in Sex Jail

it's a sad, kinda mournful game about a man who can't change himself set in a city that hasn't changed in generations, to the point that the district it's set in is still all hosed up from artillery shelling during the war. it just never got fixed. and it has an insane amount of detail and stuff to do

My favorite part is when you make the right rolls to notice the bullet hole in the corpse and you actually get to do a neat mystery twist and be halfway competent for 30 seconds while the lovely kids who spend most of the game calling you and Kim slurs are really excited by how cool this is and cheering you on to boost your rolls.

The best part of Disco Elysium is when you steal hi-tech boots from a corpse and clean off the rotten flesh in a pot and your fight-or-flight skill(the best skill) tells you to taste the ungodly mess you made:

Yeah which is a dumbassed view because you can follow whatever politics you like through the game and you never do anything practical about it the only difference it makes is that you say different flavors of poo poo to people who don't care, don't want to hear it and want you to go away, which is a bit too real honestly

It's an extremely melancholy game about loving about trying to do what you can among the ruins when the revolution fails, history is settled way above your pay grade and you just kind of... keep going afterwards. It's insanely funny a lot of the time and also contains a couple moments like the conversation with the guy's wife I mentioned where I had to stop playing for a minute after I went through them the first time

Also Disco Elysium has quests to find and do different types of drugs for more experience and there's an achievement+in game perk for saying sorry a lot, even if you did nothing wrong.

it feels uniquely post-soviet from people living in a post-soviet country and we don't get enough good games like that.

I posted it pages back but one goon actually managed to play the game without getting a single achievement, which is borderline impossible because of all the achievements the game has for picking a political opinion including on you get for never taking a political opinion. They achieved this during the same run where they successful interacted with the game so little they also failed the only mandatory check in the game.

Will always lol how there was an effort by major gaming press outlets to say the game is bad because you can't fix cuno with a speech check at the start of the game and most had to sheepishly walk it all back after the game got across the board critical acclaim.
