It's on sale, is it a good game?
Been hearing so many mixed opinions on it

Attached: elysium.jpg (976x688, 244.92K)

one of the worst games I've played in years. only pretentious fags with shit taste think it's remotely serviceable

I think it's good.
People like just aren't stored for cRPGs.

It's my favorite game of 2019, it's great if you like satire and abuse. Keep in mind it's 95% reading and you'll have a very fun time.

Reading game masquerading as an RPG. No combat, it's all about dialogue trees and listening to voices in your head.
It's a typical propaganda game made by commies. Very preachy, tries to hide it with sōyish humor. You are supposed to take very specific positions and support specific beliefs or you'll be chastised and punished by the game. Non-commie beliefs and ideologies are portrayed as cartoony evil nutjobs. You get the idea.

Hvis du er typen der tror det er en god ide at stemme på alternativet

It's great. Devs didn't have enough money to properly finish it (it ends rather abruptly) but otherwise it's one of the best modern story driven crpgs.

People saying the it's not a game probably never even heard of Planescape forget actually playing it.

Easily one of the best skill-check dialogue integrations in an RPG

Planescape had combat tough.

Great dialogue system ruined by bullshit game design and a heavy focus on politics.

seethe harder

It's great if you're not a brainwashed reactionary who lost all sense of humor

As others have said, its a mostly text based RPG, if that is something that puts you off then it's not for you.

If that's something you even might maybe possibly be able to get behind then just buy it and see for yourself. Its a fantastic game. Even if you are going to dislike it, even hate it, you should find out for yourself.

There's a real irony when people says it's a commie game, they can't see out of their own culture war bubble, it's sincerely pathetic. If you come to these conclusions I recommend psychiatric therapy and also travel.

>muh politics

lmao damn you guys are some serious snowflakes to be bothered by a game that mocks every political ideology. upset that the game takes a piss out of capitalism? grow up

Shit combat nobody liked (and don't fucking pretend it wasn't ass)

It's a good game but keep in mind it's essentially a visual novel/choose your own adventure. It's all dialogue and skill checks and your choices matter (but they actually do)

it takes the piss out of anything and everything political so of course people project their own bogeymen onto it because nobody does humor and satire anymore

it's the other side of the coin from a game like Pillars of Eternity 2, just as obnoxious and quirky but written by edgelords instead of just faggots.

>its great if you are a brainwashed liberal with a sense of humour of a ten year old

It takes the piss of autoritarianism way more than liberalism.

>Centrists are gay cucks
>Commies are corrupt villains
>The one single capitalist is the most reasonable and likable character in the game, a hardcore realist
Seethe harder Zig Forums

It's great. Ignore the braindead zoomers on this board.

imagine unironically thinking liberalism isn’t the ideology that gets pissed on the hardest in the game

take your meds schizo

HAAAARDD COOOOOREEE!

I bought this game after literally everyone recommended it to me. I love RPG games and detective genre (both in games and in other media).

Got bored roughly 5 hours in, haven't touched since.

This is kind of true but I'm not sure this is the kind of game to self-insert with either. I tried to see how far I could sink the character into depravity.

23000+ reviews and I don't know a single person who's played it.

Its uncomfortable how much you're projecting

wordswordswordswordswordsnogameplaywordswordswordswords.
It's so fucking void of meaningful events and interactions that aren't ENTIRELY played through text that you're unironically better off reading a book. I know people like to meme about planescape really being about the fucking journal with how much shit is in it, but disco elysium is that turned up to 11.

DISCLAIMER:
The game is being shilled heavily on Zig Forums, so, here's some things the shills don't want you to know.
> The developers claim to be hardcore and nothing is off the table. Despite this, Faggot is censored and any racial slurs are changed to abstract ones.
> The game developers consider themselves to be "Soviet" and the game uses the likeness of, and voice acting of podcast members of ChapoTrapHouse and RedScare, members of Antifa, a Domestic Terrorist organization according to the DHS.
> Your companion in the game is a gay Asian. You have no option to permanently remove him from your party. He will get upset at the player for dialogue options and chastise them for choosing them.
> Despite the game claiming to "Punch all sides" and present a diverse range of political opinions, in order to unlock right-wing politics, one must subject themselves to health damage every time they choose one.
> Choosing left-wing options will reward the player with health, experience and even money.
> Whilst the game, and shills declare the game to be an RPG, it is completely devoid of combat, party management or even meaningful choices that affect the ending of the game. It instead plays more like a visual novel

I'm a massive Zig Forumsfag and I loved the game. It does a pretty good job mocking all sides (though obviously the devs have their own beliefs which bleed through on occasion). My only real gripe with their choices is the censorship of "faggot." What the fuck is up with that? It's jarring and breaks immersion.

You can get hardlocked by doing the most logical choices by videogame standards because the devs felt the need to be above that.

>haha liberals are complaining about a game not having proper trans representation, cry harder cucks

>WHY VIDEO GAME MAKE FUN OF MY POLITICS THIS GAME IS SHIT COMMIE PROPAGANDA

makes you think

Great game, don't listen to triggered burgers. Very much an RPG, just not a combat focused one. Great writing, very non-linear

Very compelling arguments.
But it's not my fault that the game gives more importance to politics than story.
The people who love this game are invariably leftists, because the one thing the game does is give their ideology a blowjob, everything else takes a backseat.
This is a "game" strictly about politics, and specifically about how the far left is good and infallible, no matter how many superficial flaws you might think you see in them.
Partisan propaganda is only enjoyed by partisan audiences.

this is the type of faggot who thinks the game is good

I think you have bad taste and should probably cut your dick off to stop your inferior genetics from spreading further.

Otherwise yes I agree with you.

you don’t know that means

>WHAT DO YOU MEAN I HAVE TO PAY FOR ROOF OVER MY HEAD
those are the people calling you commie

I'm not a leftist, and you're completely wrong.

>not playing one of the best games of 2019 just to own the commies

actually the difference is that communists and leftists can read a critique and satirization of their ideology without going ape shit triggered

>he didn't internalize The Homo-sexual Underground

its unique, i always have time to play a game that is unique. Cybermeme 2077 looks like another farcry/fallout/fucking whatever game id probably never finish. games like these are worth playing just for a break from the same old shit. plus its pretty good

For what purpose

Yes I enjoyed it but it's a lot of reading. It's like an interactive book.

I'm a monarchist sympathizer and I think they captured a romantic view of monarchy very well with that black character. Yeah they also shat on the monarch but they shit on communists too, you just don't notice that because you're seething

>and specifically about how the far left is good and infallible
Did you beat the game? I can assure you that is NOT the message.

Indie games that try to be art by making their games depressing, boring, and not fun are worst than AAA games that pander to the worst common denominator. Play superliminal instead.

>paying more than 100 dkk for a game
Come on now.

>right-wing seethes because a video game makes fun of their ideology just like every other political ideology

you people are humorless

The game doesn't specify anywhere that you must do that or say goodbye to your playthrough, the devs knew that the smart players would bet on the character being able to sleep in another place or just not sleeping at all and subverted their expectations for the lulz.

Because they are artsy pretentious cunts, that's why.

I absolutely do

You weren't paying attention.
Communism in the game gets made fun of as quirky and edgy, whereas everything else gets made fun of as wrong and evil.

>partisan propaganda
>the villain is a literal partisan
Kino

Lots of reading but the best writing in the last 20 years in a video game.
Don't listen to the politic obsessed retards and their faggot culture war, they take things way too seriously when the game mogs all the political sides. Politics is also a minor parts of the game, it ultimately a journey inside the mind of Man. Great, amazing game.

>communists and leftists can read a critique and satirization of their ideology without going ape shit triggered
>Say Trump is not a nazi
>leftists record themselves in cars screaming about it.
Heh heh

Internally Coherent!

Filtered

>The game doesn't specify anywhere that you must do that
Literally the first thing they tell when you go to the lobby is you have to pay for your room.
>smart players would bet on the character being able to sleep in another place
And you can, there are other places, they just open up later.

Fucking loved it. You like text-heavy games with lots of variable outcomes, go for it.

It's not awful but goddamn is there a lot of reading. I can only play it in bursts because they went haywire on dialogue

True, hard, full core

>Communism in the game gets made fun of as quirky and edgy
Did you finish the game? Did that game come of as quirky and edgy or did he come off as pathetic loser clinging to a failed ideology?

I didn't even know it was anti-right. I thought it looked like shit by checking out the first hour of "gameplay". Seems like a good game for people with mental illness that like to revel in their mental illness.

Hardcore to the mega!

>variable outcomes
The game has 1 ending.

it’s good AND it makes Zig Forums seethe

You're all leftist partisans.
You're just a meme.

nice strawman

fpbp

>i cant play a video game because it makes fun of my politics

sensitive lot you are

>when the game mogs all the political sides

Two of the first 10-15 characters that you meet are just there so the player can get chastitized for picking the racist choice, they even attach a character that follows you everywhere that is just there to get angry if you ever sound racist and will praise you if you shit on those people.
The game also punishes you for being authoritarian, its not "politically balanced" like the sheeple here are saying.

>monarchy is a meme
Less of a meme than nazism because monarchist countries actually exist right now and were hugely successful in history
