To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Disco Elysium. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of political theory most of the jokes will go over a typical reader's head. There's also Harry's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Disco Elysium truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Harry's existential catchphrase "Communist hasn't been tried," which itself is a cryptic reference to Nugmanov's Russian epic The Needle. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Robert Kurvitz's genius wit unfolds itself on their computer screens. What fools.. how I pity them.
And yes, by the way, i DO have a Disco Elysium tattoo (it's the communist logo). And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid

> Zig Forums loves it
Huh? Who does? I've seen shilling for it but it's honestly see through and most of the people who shill it clearly didn't play it.
The game is trash, pretty funny, but still trash, the art is 10/10, the protagonist is interesting and inovating, but it belongs in the trash as an RPG, all those "omg dude you gotta replay the game haha so much replayability", literally 0 choices and just one shitty ending that kicks you in the balls.
Cuno is based, Klaasje was well done, Titus was a bro, Kim was a SJW self insert obnoxious faggots redditors can identify with because they are also 40 years old lonely miserable condescending faggots who are good at nothing yet still are judgamental.

IQ apparently.
Xavier Nguyen
How can you not like it? What other games in the genre do you like?
Jonathan Rivera
I don't get this board's hate for Kim, he's just a normal dude trying to do his job in the worst part of town with a actual schizo as a partner. He's a lot more understanding and forgiving of you and your antics than he rightfully should be.
Logan Scott
I've played some great visual novels. This isn't one of them.
Joseph Rogers
I dropped it at the cringe lorry driver. Have progressives ever actually met a racist person?
Ayden Young
How much diversity propaganda is in this?
Mason Taylor
Not too much, but when it's there it's quite on the nose.
Leo King
the city is about as diverse as modern paris, you wouldn't notice or really care unless you were actively looking for non white characters to get mad about
Julian Robinson
> he's just a normal dude
He's a 40 years old condescending autistic loser who sucks at his job, is EXTREMELY UGLY to the point it's unpleaseant to look at, and despite being the poster boy for Centrism he goes full woke SJW and threatens people to use his police autorithy to send them to jail for saying "Welcome to Revachol", ah, but only does that with fat ugly powerless men. A giant polynesian alpha male? He just hides behind Harry, despite Measurehead racism being much worse.
> in the worst part of town with a actual schizo as a partner
Yet it's the schizo partner who does EVERYTHING. The one that does the talking, the investigating, the mystery solving, etc. Kim was wrong about EVERYTHING in the case and intentionally tries to stop the playing of exploring and educating themselves IN AN RPG OF ALL PLACES. And saying "well there is a mystery going on" is outright retarded considernig he doesn't do ANYTHING, he has time to threaten people for being racist but learning about some weird fog? Nah, "we've got a job to do".
> He's a lot more understanding and forgiving of you and your antics than he rightfully should be
Is that stockholm syndrome? "Oh he treats me like shit, is constantly a condescending asshole, thinks less of me, calls me an idiot regularly, etc but hey, at least he's "a bit forgiving".
You're a retard. Kim is trash and treats Harry like trash. Schizo Harry solves the entire mystery on his own and all Kim does is being a little bitch self insert of the gay writer.
But as I said, is not surprising people can relate to an ugly autistic condescending 40 years old gay ching.

>Diverse as modern paris
Thanks for letting me know, will avoid

All commies are likeable and portrayed as good and relevant characters, all right wing conservatives are just background NPCs that exist only to be racist and have no involvement in the plot.
It has feminism, dykes ALL AROUND THE PLACE and your companion constantly shouting "WOW, BIGOT, GIRLS LIKE GIRLS TOO!" and being the poster boy for gay rights, he brings up being gay like 10 times in the game. Your character feels attracted to some mary sue gay smoker, for no reason at all. Your character's ex girlfriend aborted his kid and Harry still is obsessed with her and was ok with that.
Lots of blackies too.
It's pretty woke, honestly, I can't think of anything based other than Kuno, and even then, everytime Kuno calls someone faggot it's censored.
Jackson Richardson
im not reading all that shit, autist.
Jayden Williams
Because it hurts you, stay mad. I don't care how much of yourself you see in Kim, you and him are trash.
Ian Walker
>talking to the black girl outside of the hotel
>suddenly get locked in the "you are black" option
>harry just says "you are black" and she gets malding levels upset
Thats when I stopped.
Julian Perez
This is some high-effort bait
Zachary Parker
>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
Camden Rivera
Oh, that explains the hate for this game. It comes from autistic people.
Gabriel Flores

play the game because I don't want to spoil it for you

I played the game and I took a screenshot of every single conversation, so unlike you i have proof i played it, do not patronize me and pretend you're the one that played it. Titus is a bro, the hardy boys are fine, the deserter is cool and the fat man was based.
So fuck you, retard. Get cancer and die.
Alexander Wood
lol shut up mutt
This is an ESL board until you stop being shit at playing and making games

What the fuck
Lincoln Peterson
I mean, the guy who made the game is such a champagne socialist, he doesn't even live in Estonia.
He lives in Brighton, which is like the San Francisco of England.
