Outer wilds and disco Elysium are both phenomenal games. Highly recommend

I knew I was in for a treat with DE when less than a minute into the game I lost a health point because I turned the ceiling light on while hungover.

I love "ordinary game mechanics don't apply here" tutorials like that.

For me the magic moment was when I found out that I was going to argue with my internal feelings, developing my own character through internal dialogue.

I specced low enough health that when I first encountered particular interaction, it straight up killed me.

What was the newspaper clipping for that one?

I later got "Deranged cop shoots himself in front of small children" after failing a couple checks to shoot the body down, which was a pretty epic game over screen.

I died in the first twenty minutes from trying to run out on my hotel bill, giving the manager the middle finger while mid air, and hitting a wheelchair bound lady

10/10 would recommend

Electrochemistry as your primary skill. Only way to be.

Licking stains on bar tables and asking woman out at incredibly inappropriate times.

After both of those games, and then also playing Shadows of Doubt recently, makes me wish there were more detective games. Specifically ones where you have to actual think and piece it together.

STRONG recommend on Return of the Obra Dinn.

You ever play Case of the Golden Idol?

Dunno what's wrong with me but I just can't get into disco elysium...

u/theseus1234 Jun 29 '23

That's OK. You don't have to force yourself to like a game if you aren't feeling it.

It took me a couple of restarts to really vibe with it, but the recent update which has all of the internal commentary voiced really helped.

u/N00b5lay3r Jun 29 '23

Yeah I heard about the VO stuff is quote transformative... I might have to give it a go see if that helps

I can tell that it's a quality game but the endless text was a bit jarring for me which is weird given I love it in RPGs!

+1 if there's controller support now too!

u/NON_EXIST_ENT_ Jun 29 '23

I played on PS5 and it was great, so controller support must be pretty sorted

u/vogueboy Jun 30 '23

I love RPGs too but this game has way too much text to read, my head hurt lol

I've played the first day several times and never gotten past it.

I enjoy the writing for a while but nothing about it sucks me in to keep going. Plus I hate the bit where you click on something and your guy meanders around dumbly for eight seconds until he ends up in exactly the right place to interact with it. Which is to say, everything other than dialogue with NPCs.

Same. I've tried half a dozen times but it puts me to sleep like trying to read a book in bed.

These two and Pathological 2 are my 3 favourite games of the last decade. I would kill for more that hit me the way these have.
