Incline Disco Elysium - The Final Cut - a hardboiled cop show isometric RPG

The "lore" of the world is pretty lame and annoying though tbh.

Kill yourself faggot!

I don't feel like my character really grows through having higher skills.

That is true,still i must say that this is one of the very few games that make your character actually grow as the game progress. It is on torment level for me.

 

[overly excitable young man]

I believe you that he will grow because of the story but not because of the underlying system.

You probably played some other game, not Disco.

Everything about the game would have been better if it played in a real world scenario.
Like any post WW1 european country.
Post WW2 germany or italy.
Post Cold War Russia.

It's an alternate timeline where a Pseudo-France existing as an archipelago, not as a country in a landmass, experienced a Marxist revolution which was snuffed out by an intervention force, and this happened when the technological level of the world was about that of our late 19th century. The game events take place 40 years posterior. What more do you want from the lore? IMO the potential is yuge.

He doesn't like the alternate reality/universe the game is set in. That's it. At this point it's purely a matter of opinion.

Why do we need a fictional world when the message of the game would be stronger and more relateable with a historical setting?

Disco Elysium does it just because.

 

[jebsmoker]

because creating a fictional world can be engaging for both the creators and the players: see: the game the thread's about, kenshi, morrowind, and fallout

Um. No. Disco Elysium has very strong paranormal elements going on. And it being a fictional world gives both more freedom to creators and a greater sense of wonder [to players] than any historical setting ever would.

Edit: And, to be clear, I don't say that because I like the setting. I don't. If anything, I found it interesting to learn about it, which is partly why on my first playthrough I made sure to level up my Encyclopedia skill. Torment had a similar element of learning about the universe and its rules, which made it different from clinging to the "known and true" (which includes both fictonal worlds and historical settings).

Dont know Kenshi world.
But both Fallout and Morrowind have a imaginative world that changed the known stuff so much that you cant recognize it anymore.

Dunno of paranormal elements yet.
I will finish the game and see if it was necessary.

Gave them to your mother for safekeeping. You'll get them when you're a good girl.

this statcheck now has 33% chance to succeed instead of 29%. Wow, such progression, very RPGey. I feel stronger.

Have some decency and don't mock PnP RPGs.

Indeed, why do we need LOTR when we have all these nice books about WW2?

 

[overly excitable young man]

Meh. Finished it now.
Mediocre game.
Couldn't even kill bugbears in it.

Hey guise I hear The People's RPG lost the Steam Awards for best narrative to The Last Of Us with Rats (A Plague Tale: Innocence). Not my thing, but I'll take this popularity contest defeat as acceptable.

Plague Tale is beautiful but I'm highly irritated by the voiceover. Why portray the French people (aka every person in the game) by doing the voiceover in English with heavy French accent? Sounds like a parody, very much ruining the experience for me(

Having "foregin" people speak without an accent in perfect English would feel fake. That way you can identify them as French and still be able to understand what they are saying, despite not knowing French.

Didn't watched The Witcher, but Polish accent would be very nice for mr. Cavill to have.

I mean this is weird to highlight your characters as a "foreigners" with accent when everyone is the "foreigner". It loses its point.

 

[Tweed]

I only just started playing, in true communist fashion I used someone else's money and got it as a christmas gift.

I'm sure it's filthy commie trash though and I'll try really hard not to enjoy myself.
