is it overrated? you never see normal people talking about it, its always some terminally online extremist saying its the best thing ever made

It's a game made by commie pseuds (but I repeat myself) for midwits. If you've ever subjected yourself to the works of Lenin, whose writing leftoids unironically praise despite being full of bullshit statistics and specious reasoning, you'll have already experienced the same thing animating Disco Elysium

>>722967212 (OP)
It had the potential to be bigger
but it focused on political shit and a stupid murder mystery in a world where eldritch shit is happening regularly

played better in a dedicated disco elysium station

>is it overrated?

It's Planescape of this generation.

Dataism is catnip for midwits.

Something tells you didn't play the game, anon

Something tells me you don't know any history. If you did, you would know commies love backbiting one another. Huge portions of Lenin's writing is dedicated towards putting down other leftists who weren't doing it "right" (i.e., his way). It's perfectly natural that the only real critique they'd have of communism is in how others try to implement it.

>>722967856
Believing stats at face value is a hallmark of midwittery. 115s love "pure facts," and will accept them without any serious consideration if they fit their narrative.

You're repeating what he said and pretending it's a refutation, the whole joke in DE's portrayal of communism is its biggest faction are ponzi schemers. Congratulations on believing the game that dumps on communism is actually endorsing it because you need a soapbox to whine about leftists, and are also the exact shitwit midwit you're complaining about by confusing economic theory and Leninist writing with an entire political direction

Can you stop spamming your tranny fetish in every thread?

>Something tells me you don't know any history. If you did, you would know commies love backbiting one another.
And why does that matter for Disco Elysium's case?
It's a game that uses communism for its world building and story, which is entirely fictional, so real life politics doesn't really affect it much
It never tries to say that communism is actually good, unless of course you go out of your way for the commie route and act like one

>>722969426
Interpret it however you like, it doesn't dispel the fact that it's a shit visual novel masquerading as a CRPG written, enjoyed, and overrated by retarded shitlibs.

>>722967212 (OP)
yeah it's poorly made on just about every level. don't know who it appeals to

>>722967212 (OP)
It's well written enough but it's just a visual novel. The interactive bits are neat though. Whether it's overrated or not doesn't matter because it's dead in the water.

>>722967212 (OP)
>you never see normal people talking about it
well you have to be literate to play it, and I don't mean media literate.

Retards will sperg at the content of the writing. Real ones are offput by the amateur execution glazed by idiots. DE writing is purple prose that hamstrings pacing. The writer is so busy smelling his own farts he is at best indifferent but all the more likely oblivious to the weariness his pointless flourishes induce.

>>722973087
that's where I'm at. bad writing is expected in video games, especially rpgs, but most of them have the decency to not make it the main focus.
interactive fiction is the exception though

>>722972958
Disco Elysium is one giant check to see if you're capable of actual political humor, or if you're just into politics because you believe politics are a football game. One of these camps likes to involve itself in politics constantly while not understanding them and can't intellectually handle actually having to talk without beating around the bush.

why is it that when it comes to Disco Elysium's portrayal of Commies, Ultras, or Moralists, everyone understands that the game is engaging in parody of an ideology and can laugh at the joke, but when it comes to its strawman of fascism, all of a sudden it's a commie game?

>>722973559
It loves communism and plays with the "Ha ha, but also we did some fucked up things right fellow leftist?" mild self-deprication. Fascists are below contempt, Ultras are either the ancient enemy or deluded fools, and moralists are THE GREAT SATAN.

The majority of this board isn't old enough to have played a point-and-click adventure game back when they were mainstream and the closest they have gotten to finish a visual novel was only when there was a pair of tits at the end of every chapter.

The characterization and dialogue are fantastic. It's going to talk shit about you no matter what your political beliefs are, whether you're consistent, or take a variety of positions, or refuse to engage, and even if your beliefs are the exact same as the creators'. That was a fun thing to realize.

>>722973559
Skinheads, basically, in spirit if not in actually having a shaved head and infesting bars. Lots of spittle flecking and outraged moaning over "my" ideology getting slapped too.

I just enjoy it if I'm a hairy drug addict failure

Very good point and click game with extremely light rpg mechanics. It wont "change your life" if you've read more than 5 books in your life, but the story is fun enough and there are some very good and memorable passages in it. The world is very interesting which makes it sad that all the author was able to make was a mid novel and this game exploring it before it got robbed from him by the fat car salesman that runs the company that developed the game. If you don't mind a shit ton of reading and like a good noir story I think its definitely worth torrenting.
