Disco Elysium

I feel AN OPINION on this game taking form...

Wait, why can't you grind everyone into pigfed equally?

>mocks centrism

right it’s definitely not a commie game

I don't mind political bashing so long as it goes both ways. What I think most people find unfavourable though, is a developer telling you X is good Y is bad because I say/think so

Lay them both out and let the player decide the pros and cons. Obviously here we're being told what we should think, but it's out of context so idk

>few minutes in the game
>run into a character who says ''welcome to the city''
>partner flips the fuck out like a SJW caricature drawn by Ben Garrison, gets FURIOUS that someone used a ''microaggression'' at him
>the fat ugly guy turns out to be a racist as suspected and just goes ''umm...I like hate minorities, I am stupid and evil, and I hate minorities''
>zero attempt at making him a likable character
>game forces you to take a choice, do you agree with your partner and say racism is bad (obviously ''right'' choice which will lead to dialogue)
>or you agree with the ''racist'' in which case your partner just goes ''oh, interesting,'' and the conversation ends
>minutes later run into a big muscular black guy surrounded by white women
>black guy straight up says that he is breeding out white people and uses muh dick to impregnate white women, straight up calls for a race war
>no real way to disagree with him
>your partner actually says ''I prefer this racist over the other one,'' the only way to disagree is to say ''I prefer the other racist'' which ends with your partner simply saying ''hmm.. interesting choice of a racist''
At every step in the game all they're doing is giving you little tests to see if you'll bite their propaganda, if you don't fall for the game will just go ''haha, just kidding, move along haha,'' and if you take the bait and go along with the narratives it will spew tl:dr walls of text praising communism and anti-white racism

>no real way to disagree with him
That's absolutely wrong, you can just physically beat the shit out of him or logic trap him
>your partner actually says ''I prefer this racist over the other one"
Which if you quiz him on it's because the nigger is a far more crazy advocacy of race realism which is a bit more interesting than the typical I hate chinks casual statement

You can go apocalypse cop but you can't be a full on maniac

What the actual fuck are these options? Is this real? This is some of the shittiest writting I have ever seen, in a medium were shit writting is the norm.

>This is some of the shittiest writting I have ever seen
I agree. The options are contrived.

*Nods respectfully*

>Which if you quiz him on it's because the nigger is a far more crazy advocacy of race realism
And the nigger being the more crazy one makes him better... why?

>favours
This tells me everything I need to know about this game.

>Only I can mock other people for having believes
Cope you centrist coward.

>devs thank marx for their political education in acceptance speech
>benefit from capitalism by developing and selling a game jerking off the failed ideology of some dumb kike

Normally I deplore associating a piece or work with the politics of the author but in this case I'll make an exception. Fuck communists and fuck carol baskin.

Edit: thanks for the gold this really blew up

I don't give a shit about the game's politics or even the devs' politics, but all of the dialogue just drips with the kind of smarm you mostly see out of people who have gotten used to chasing asspats in left-wing facebook groups and, as a result, it's just impossible to forget about the writer and focus on the character.

>game allows you to "rationalize" nationalism
>the "solution" you came up with is a bunch of strawmanned ramblings that somehow include hardcore sexism
>after you "rationalize" nationalism, you get hurt whenever you select nationalist dialogue options

But why

Kim is a poorly written character overall because the entire dynamic between him and Harry is based around Harry the cishet white male being a pathetic loser, juxtaposed with Kim the Gay-ry Stu. I guess these commies like police because Kim is a perfect good boy, he's noble and disciprined, he never makes mistakes, he patiently babysits Harry and never loses his temper. Oh and he's also a FAGGOT, haha, not that it matters bigot :)
Thanks queer author, this is really making me think deeply, it's definitely not the most contrived shit ever. It feels good to know the guy is apolitical and made an unbiased game with no agenda.

> game provides balanced view regarding politcal views
> meaning you can choose your preference in racism and call your partner the equivalent of a slant eyed gook if you so choose
how can you guys see this game as anything other than based?

Kims comments.
Revachol is a shithole, to attempt to rationalise that your character wistfully dreams of a time when it won't be a shithole. To cope with the pain of how that idea hurts him (either because he knows deep down it won't happen or because he loves Revachol that much), you drink. That's why the nationalist stuff hurts you, you are dreaming of a thing that won't happen and it hurts your morale. The other stuff is just because every political extreme is highly exaggerated. The communist thoughts literally go "Time to break out the firing squads" and you can respond "No I didn't mean that!" and your thoughts will respond "Too late!"

>That's why the nationalist stuff hurts you, you are dreaming of a thing that won't happen and it hurts your morale.
Why do people say this game is not communist?

>assuming a person wasn't born in your country and welcoming them is racist
Damn if that's being racist call me Leopold II

Communism actually happened to Revachol in fiction and it went horribly horribly wrong. The game does not give a favourably view of Communism either, ranging from "dangerous idea that gets 1000s killed" to "Haha only naive college students think it would work"

communists were nationalists though bruh

So then I can pirate this guilt free correct? Wouldn't want any arbitrary capitalist barriers to separate me from playing it.

Why are we pretending games without combat are RPGs?

>traditionalism is fascism

The OG Soviets would by much more sympathetic to nationalism then this modern weirdo degenerate circus that's called communism now. OG communism was basically just nationalism with collective ownership anyway.

CRPGS were always games that had multiple paths to a solution, including non-violent skills or solutions(usually). This is just a game that puts all of the focus into the non-violent aspects of a CRPG, focusing entirely on the dialogue aspect to the exclusion of everything else.

im pretty sure all political ideologies emphasize nationalism and its the weirdo rootless cosmopolitan ones like democracy that dont
