A minute of silence for the DE designer, writer, artist and devs that were discarded after the game got popular. 😑
Classic gaming industry IP theft. Investors underhandedly forced the founders/developers out of their own company and stole the IP.
A half life game in 3rd??? I’m sure we all know what that confirms!
I should get around to playing Disco Elysium one of these days
I’m conflicted by this, I struggled to like Disco.
My biggest problem with DE was that I was raised on adventure games like Monkey Island and Quest For Glory. Where you weren’t really role playing, but instead clicking through every dialog option just to see what happens. DE isn’t a game like that. Instead it felt like you’re supposed to choose only the dialog that your character would say, and not necessarily go through every single option. The difference between the classic point and click adventure games just doesn’t quite sit right with me for some reason, so I could never quite get into it.
From what I saw, it seems like a really cool game. It just wasn’t 100% for me.
Thank you. I never understood why DE felt so tedious to the point that I was happy and relieved the character got killed by the union workers’ leader (which is very early in the game). But now reading your comment, I finally realise the issue.
I am used to Ace attorney style narratives where I can explore all dialogue options and move on. DE felt tedious because I couldn’t go back after a choice and there are so many of them.
I didn’t realize that Disco Elysium was up there, what a happy surprise. Absolute masterpiece.
