Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is.
Cohh is shilling the shit out of this game ... except the entire experience is boring as fuck.

Doesn't he shill for practically every game? I thought positivity and friendlyness were his primary selling points as a streamer.

He was all glowing about RDR2 even though he clearly hated it the more he played it. Also he's an unbearable loot autist and a giant fucking child. He is one of the few big, mainstream twitchers playing and finishing even quality games now and then tho.

take that chick with short yellow hair ( lolz ) who if you call her bureaucrat she takes it as a compliment; her reaction is amusing, but she is one of unknown amount of similar faced ugly monsters produced by face generator and wears some standard armor and sits in standard animation, so the irony of the dialogue is lost and line delivery just falls flat.
a drawn 2d portrait would have done a better job.

Yeah, its a far cry from lovingly crafted unique npcs with unique animations and portraits.

But i've seen it somewhere...

Oh yeah

Yes, DE even has a character with somewhat close style (Edgar), who is finely animated with his typewriter and has completely retarded and thus very memorable portrait.

From AAA games, Witcher 3 also does this sort of stuff very well.

disco elysium only has 5 npcs in the whole game, and there is no gameplay, hopefully they did something with the 14 years of development time

it was also made by 5 NPCs; a large studio should do better than andromeda faces.

by not being good at your job or not throwing enough money on npc faces you're now throwing away the work of writers and voice actors since dialogue like this only works if all 3 things connect.

lets talk about how great the ai is in disco elysium or the enemy diversity, or the combat, oh wait it has none of those things, it's a speech check game, not a full game

judging by streams AI is very forgiving in this one.

also I find it interesting there are no helmets with glass visors where you could see character's face. you'd think this could have benefited from short hair thing.

also gaem is only 37 gb :Mwhich can mean that either it is smaller than usual, or Tim does know how to make games pack and run properly.

Or maybe year later in Outer Worlds postmortem he would admit that they overdid it a bit when packing resources and unpacking them run-time was a main reason for a load-screen-hell a-la PoE.

That's small now, eh? It's about the same as BioShock Infinite and much more than the first Dishonored. Graphical style that doesn't need uber high quality textures.
