god damn it
I wish I didn’t know this. Now I’m furious.
I picked this up the other day cause I love this style of RPG, but I just couldn’t do it. After about 4-5 hours, I was thoroughly annoyed by all the super-unlikable characters and bored with the very slow and dry narrative. And found the script to be vastly overwritten & intentionally obtuse for no reason. I still haven’t deleted it yet, can anyone convince me to tough it out and it gets juicy and fun later?
Honestly, bailed 3 hours in. Narration was dragging me down, characters were a headache. Might give second chance if someone says it’s worth the grind
Legendary?
“They put Argo through a humiliation campaign. They made him apologize to people for what he said in the interview. They undermined his confidence and tried to make him doubt himself. They told him he was incompetent, unqualified, and unfit to lead his own project, demoted him and made him invisible inside the studio.”
holy fuck, they are monsters. never side with the corporate side

Its a tragedy but sometimes that’s how it is. We could spend days or weeks talking about games that were almost finished but didn’t get released. At least we got one really good story out of it and that has to be enough. I just hope the devs find something cool to do in the future.
Disco Elysium is a cult classic and at least there is solace in knowing that it wont be forgotten and it got recognition it deserved.
Is KickStarter an option for them? I’d give them lots of money to see this happen.
Man to get such a beautiful game legacy and company get eaten from the inside by faceless, voracious c**nts… it’s a day-ruining news for real
