The church questline was the greatest most HARD CORE thing I have ever seen in a video g*me.
Also communism, lots of communism. Unfortunately also fascism, moralism, humanism and liberalism :ooooooooooooooh:
It’s definitely a 10/10 masterpiece, though I wouldn’t include it in my personal GOAT like New Vegas or Dragon Age Origins because it got too realistically depressing at times.
NO NATION BUT TRANCE NATION - NO WAR BUT CLASS WAR
When I played it I loved the writing too but the game itself just felt so, so sluggish, and the skill checks were so bad it completely killed any enjoyment.
And I say this as someone who really likes VNs. I love reading. It was everything else in Disco Elysium that just made me groan until I got tired of it.
I can see where you’re coming from, but the skill system in particular being designed the way it is is a perfect match for the game’s themes. Just like with white skill checks, Harry’s life is the story of someone failing horribly but coming back to try again.
But there’s a fast travel system in the game that just straight up doesn’t work and it would be better if it did.
It’s the very beginning that is very frustrating. No wonder everyone gravitates towards sorry cop, you’re completely fucking useless and a complete fuck up who can’t even do basic cop shit. Once that’s dealt with, the game picks up pace really quick, and you’ll have some good bearings on what you stats you want to focus on and it’ll make you feel like big dick gumshoe.
