>>717382769
you get to watch a drunk schizophrenic cop talk with tons of inanimate objects and the 24 different voices in his head

>>717382769
Nothing. A Discord makes these daily pseudo-generals

The writing.

>>717385705
qrd on it?

>>717382851
It just dawned on me that the race realist's name is literally "measure head". wow

I wish the city catacombs were accessible, even if only for few rooms

>>717382748 (OP)
the OG creator of Disco Elysium getting me-too'd and the IP being given to a soulless corporation is the most karmic thing I've seen happen in video games.
that's what you get for abandoning nationalism (the only cure for neoliberalism [the current face of le capital])

>>717382748 (OP)
Sad this game is not getting a sequel.

>>717386419
it's Joss Whedon meets Freddy Engels. they got the people from Chapo Trap House to voice act. it's their sort of joint

>>717382851
you're a polynesian nigger regurgitating the ideas of your betters?

>>717386947
damn i couldn't make the game sound less appealing if i tried

>>717386630
not to be all "media literacy" but it's about as subtle as a sledgehammer m8

>>717386419
It has so many layers. One of the first people you encounter is the stupid racist who is meant to be unappealing in every way possible from being fat to rude, only for you to encounter >>717382851 who is also racist but is also literally correct about everything and who works out. At the end of the day however you can get past most peoples exterior to learn that they are just using politics to try and fix the hurting they have inside, either from hurt pride from having their country be dominated and pillaged from an outside force to being abused by their father. Or they are just using politics to control useful idiots to gain more power or to blend in for other motives. The game is about politics but not really.

to be fair, the name is phonically very satisfying and the meaning behind phonically satisfying things often gets dissolved into the phonic satisfaction.
see Cellar Door.

>>717387189
>to be fair
there's fair and there's laughably accomodating

xheyr's'

Which way Revachol man?

>>717389926
Are any of these trying to be an actual video game or are we getting just unrepentant clones?

KINOOOOOOOO

>>717386848
>getting me-too'd

Every video game with good writing is ripping off a actual movie with good writing.
Remember how LA Noire has good writing?
That's because it ripped off LA Confidential.
Remember how The Last of Us (ps3) has good writing? That's because it ripped off 28 days later.
Disco Elysium is a detective game that rips off True Detective, arguably the best detective "movie" ever made.

>>717395095
But Disco Elysium is not even an actual detective game. Most of what makes the writing good is the world building and that was established before True Detective.

>>717395380
True Detective isn't an actual detective movie.
Its main focus is on the relationship between the two cops over the course of their investigation, with the actual murder mystery getting wrapped up in the last episode and a half.
Sound familiar?

>>717395095
S1 True Detective + Disco Elysium would be kino. Too bad I'm shit at writing fanfics.

>>717395578
No, it doesn't. In what world is the focus of Disco Elysium the relationship between Harry and Kim?

>>717395095
And true detective stole from the king in yellow

>>717395604
Speaking of which, what would be a good idea for another Disco Elysium protagonist who's just as weird as Tequila Sunset?

>>717386419
You're a detective that's barely on the other side of a complete mental breakdown, you drank yourself to the point of Ego Death.
You're in a city that used to be the center of the world, reduced to a corpse of it's former glory, and you have to investigate the vermin and parasites living in it to solve a murder case.
Part of the gimmick is that you're a variable amount of schizophrenic, you have voices that embody ideals in your head that narrate and comment on everything.
If you cheat a little and max out everything(which isn't necessarily a good thing), when you step outside the hotel for the first time you'll be treated to about 30 minutes of rambling descriptions on the world around you.

>>717382748 (OP)
You're not an ultraliberal, Harry. Get the fuck out of here. Don't be a retard.

>>717395619
The world where you don't intentionally ditch Kim during the investigation. But even then that breaks the game and sometimes Kim's dialogue plays during conversations even though he's not "there."

>>717395095
I like True Detective s1 a lot but Disco Elysium is significantly different and IMO better written.

>>717396040
Kim is a supporting character while Harry is firmly the lead. Harry's personal issues are the plot, Kim barely gets explored and he's mostly there as a moral compass. True Detective puts its two protagonists pretty much in equal standing.

>>717389926
Black Tabby Games' Disco-Like if it ever materializes

I wish I could play it for the first time again blind because I schizo'd myself hard and it was so fun.
>really high inland empire
>tons of dialogue talking about ghosts
>thought the hanged man was Harry and he killed himself, and I was a ghost or in a ghost world, or I could talk to ghosts like the hanged man
>the fucking phone booth sounds exactly like talking to ghosts and the way Harry's ex talks I thought she was hearing a ghost
>apocalypse cop talking about some big impending doom, which I thought was Harry realizing he was dead or something like that
>learn about the pale and think it's swallowing up reality and I'm in some weird schizo mismatched world where things aren't how they should be
I had a slow wake up call just like Harry realizing the game world was actually real and that I was really just a detective on a case that had to get on with his life.
