Hey I think the final update for Disco on PS4 is finally getting the game in a good place, it has only crashed once so far.

Nice! I'll finally be checking it out tonight after I can tear myself away from 13 Sentinels. Getting an AOE attack on a big cluster of enemies is so drat satisfying. :hellyeah:

Is there a recommendation for first "Build" to go through with in Disco Elysium or do I just go with my gut? Should I try to jack-of-all trades, or specialize? I haven't played an RPG with a character builder like this in a good long while, so any general tips (if needed) would be appreciated.

I felt pretty good going in with a Thinker build the first go through. Getting Encyclopedia checks was one of the easier ways to learn the lore and history of the world and gives you good background knowledge that will be helpful with in later runs. The Visual Calculus checks also are a real unique thing.

The power armor still works, there's just an environmental gimmick in certain zones that makes it not work. But the DLC specific weapons and armor are better anyway. It's also significantly harder than the main game so if you're out of practice you'll probably get thrashed.

IIRC there was a much harder enemy at the entrance after you climbed up a cliff compared to what you were usually facing in that area before, as kinda a way to get people to stay away and come back later when you've leveled up.

it came out, people played it, the plot didnt go anywhere but the character stuff was good and the walking around doing shenmue stuff was good and the vibes were good and now we're waiting for shenmue 4 that he hinted at since he was do finished it with 4 but ideally 5. but then they announced a shenmue anime so

I was very hyped for 3, did the kickstarter, and was so underwhelmed by everything because in-between paying for the kickstarter and getting the game I got really into the yakuza series and learned "oh, this is exactly what I wanted from shenmue in the first place"

Now I think getting a yakuza style game set in 1980s Hong Kong would be very cool, somebody do that

Disco plays great on the latest patch

I seemed to be crashing more for me with 1.05, and I would need to reload more often because the game would take forever to "re-center" itself after conversations, before I could move again. I just have to try getting 3 vision quests done and then I got the plat.

I'm on chapter 9 now and I'm glad I waited a year, even if I like it. The voice acting is so much better than I ever thought it would be, I'm so used to terrible JRPG voice acting. You get a much better sense of Aerith's character.

Just beat up a monster house that I don't remember from the original but its been almost 20 years since I played that

I'm playing the PS4 version in Australia on a slim PS4 and have had no issues yet after a couple of long sessions with the game.

If you mean control-wise, it feels a bit weird at first with DS4 and isn't well explained but after a bit of time it felt just fine.

It took a month but most of the crashing has stopped, but the longer you play you'll still get the weird camera slowdown (after clicking something/dialogue, the camera takes several slow seconds to recenter itself around you) but that is much better than when it used to start happening after playing for 10 minutes.

This was not trying to just brag about this, I really liked having a variety of games there. Rock Band 4, Cities Skylines, Trackmania...all very different. That Trackmania one, which is still 6 levels away from the top, was a hell of alot harder to do than VF, which was just keep playing until you get it.

Don’t get it then. Only reason to buy one is to hack it.

Well I was thinking about buying one because I saw one for cheap in a store a couple months ago, and I just spent an hour trying to send up to get a second vaccine shot and failed so I need to wait a whole week to try again, so I wanted to soothe my anger in spending, but the store apparently sold it a couple weeks ago.

The world doesn't want me to get a vita

Edit: it was a slim for 80usd so it wasn't a huge purchase, and apparently a great deal
