Kim, do you think we should investigate the curse of the doomed commercial studio? We probably shouldn't, detective, I don't think there is anything particularly *sexy* or paranatural going on. steinrokkan fucked around with this message at 08:17 on Mar 17, 2023 |

christmas boots posted:I don't remember what article it was in, but there was some allusion that Kurvitz might have been a lovely boss This may or may not have just been part of a smear campaign; nobody speaking about the affair publicly is anywhere near 100% credible. Especially while things are still in the courts nobody not directly involved has any real idea what was going on.

By popular demand posted:Considering the fanart made in the last two years we're going to see Harry and Kim have sex with every single male character and then force the government at gunpoint to permit gay marriage, I disagree, Harry feverishly writing secret fanfiction involving himself, Kim, and every man he knows in a well meaning but ultimately misguided attempt to process his repressed bisexuality in one crazy cocaine fueled weekend feels very true to the writing of the Disco Elysium I played. Drama and Electrochemistry team up to create a story that literary critics will one day call "confusing" and "I think this is supposed to be porn, but it's so grammatically incorrect that there's no way to be sure" and also "the copy I received had blood on it, like, a lot of blood. I do not think whoever wrote this is well. Can someone please go check on them?" Anyway, I sincerely hope the original creators regain control over their IP.

Also, being an rear end in a top hat or an alcoholic doesn't mean other people should be allowed to take your IP.

John Charity Spring posted:yeah this is just bizarre really. leaning into fan service stuff rather than anything else They've been doing that for a while. In the original, Kim "Kimball" Kitsuragi spent nine months becoming a champion, mastering a skill he detests because it was his duty. Then in the Jamais Vu update, our boy Raphael can casually do something the champion was incapable of ever doing, and even more egregiously, Kim thinks that's cool. Some of Kim's character is sanded away in the interest of letting you do something radical.

with the caveat that I haven’t yet replayed to get that scene (as well as the speedfreaks call-in) I think that’s entirely within character. kim has sub-par hand-eye coordination due to his poor vision, which he compensates for with diligent practice and building muscle memory, and even still his former partner acted as his eyes enough to earn it as his nickname. the adroitly-specced detective probably earned an ace’s low earlier in the week by bullseyeing lely loose, a feat that would undoubtedly imprint his hand-eye acumen upon kim

Personally I am glad I can now make an Electrochemistry red check oiled-up twerk off between Harry and Evrart. Or at least a reasonable facsimile thereof. IMO.

I had assumed that some kind of posing function already existed hidden in the game-files. There was a tribute music video that used scenes that aren't in the game afaik. And the trailers also used posed scenes. And releasing such a mod mode to the public instead of doing anything creative is just one step below selling the game to Bethesda.

That's right Harry, by the next time you look out the window we'll already be six months into production of Disco Elysium: The Movie: How Harry Got His Groove Back. And you, Lieutenant, will have your own spinoff, the Kitsuragi Paranatural Sequence Killer Hour, where you solve crimes with a talking cartoon ghost dog. It's all coming together, Harry. Why should we be stuck doing nothing with this great property fans love just because some stuck up creatives threw a tantrum and tried to take their ball and go home? They had one good idea forty years ago and they think they get to own it forever! Well, not on my watch, Harry."

The ending was just not really that satisfying for me, even after reloading and fixing the part I missed  There's too many loose threads I was never able to pull and I really enjoyed playing the game more than reaching the climax so I think I'm just going to dive back in with a fresh save and make new choices rather than reload endless saves to adjust things slightly in the final sequence.

Disco Elysium's ending is one of the most beautiful emotional things I've ever experienced. If you didn't like it, I'm not sure what another playthru would do.

I got an almost 100% perfect ending when I played but I have experience with games and roleplaying, I'm pretty sure a complete newcomer would miss out on a lot.
