This game is shit, right? We should hate it

How do I mod dangerhair out?

I think it should be easy to mod all ladies to be bald. It would not even detract from their looks.

[Daedalos]

Pretty positives scores all around.

So it seems the game really is New Vegas In Space or New Vegas 2. Not bad, not bad at all.

I can easily stomach the janky combat and the dated graphics and animations, if the story and C&C hold up!

Consensus seems to be: Yes, it's basically New Vegas in Space, however not terrible deep, but it's fun, coherent and has some good writing. Good enough for me.

 

[ScrotumBroth]

Some like Microsoft money more than others.

 

[a Goat]

PC Gamer I think said it has great combat, saw videos and I have my doubts about it.

 

[Terenty]

It seems to be a typical Obsidian rpg, no ambition, no innovation, bland writing. Very predictable scores

Tim and Leonard are wasted on this project. Or maybe there is just no spark anymore

Now that is a stellar score.

A review I browsed said combat/shooting was excellent, event without VATS time-disillusion

 

[Daidre]

Most alarming thing that I've encountered in some review is that game is ~30 hours long and author was a quite throughout for a half of his run. He gives scary 16h mark for a "blaze-through main plot".

Where are the reviews of bearded traps and feminine dongs?

Most reviews note 20 to 35 hours played, fextralife says 60 hours and even more for completionists

...where have I heard this before?

 

[Van-d-all]

Someone should speedrun it in ~2h by killing everyone then complain about the writing and dialogue.

 

[LizardWizard]

Most of these reviewers are playing on normal casual mode.

30-40 hours probably applies to the Supernova lads

Some redditor is claiming to have finished in 3 hours his second run (on normal)

 

[Hellion]

35-40 hours for the first run is fine if the content is tight enough and warrants extra playthroughs for different paths.

 

[Dishonoredbr]

Oh shit gamespot review has kinda of a spoiler. The last companion is actually Robot called SAM.

Modern journos are retards. What do you expect.

 

[Quillon]

edit: was about to post couple more review vids but there are too many, just go on youtube

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

So it was supposed to be a game with blatant SJW-agenda, but apparently it's exclusively radical leftists who don't like it.

I'll definitely have to review this then.

Do you want me to officially offer DU my services as reviewer for Disco Elysium? Because this is how you get me to review Disco Elysium.

 

[Delterius]

can't you disable the goddamn kill cam from allies in this gaem because everyone seems to have that and if they actually enjoy it then i'm afraid and sad

 

[Dishonoredbr]

He looks cute Best Companion. He talks just like HK-47.
