No I played by the books cop because I wanted to see if it's possible. It's not only possible but also a pretty good storyline on its own. Barudak should've at least get one of these:  I think Barudak just roleplayed a  cop who wouldn't say anything he personally wouldn't say.

The confusing thing is that Boring Cop is its own copotype with associated lines and achievement which means they somehow managed to not even commit to Boring Cop. It’s also very easy to naturally arrive at Sorry Cop because of where the story starts and the recent actions of your fuckup of a character. really not sure how you get through the entire game without adopting any copotype nor ideology (not even the non-ideology!) By halfway through the first day I was the Communist Cop of the Apocalypse and it was a lot of fun

I thought there was a thing that popped up that was like, "You've been saying a lot of left-wing stuff, wanna be Communist Cop?" and you can just say no every time one of those comes up.

A lot of people who have a bad time with Disco Elysium generally tend to be the people who refuse to engage with the way that the game wants you to play it. The load screens tell you to do weird things explore your options and gently caress around with things, but if you don't then the game doesn't come together in the same way as it does for most people.

if this is any indication then he only “played” the game in the sense that he had it displayed on his monitor and occasionally clicked a mouse. it’s like the DE equivalent of that guy from earlier who couldn’t make it past the first jump in Metroid Dread because they didn’t realize holding the button made you jump higher

God drat is the way Disco Elysium fans discus the game insufferable. It's like Undertale for people who read a lot of tweets about Mao.

Different bodies. The one on the pier if you follow Kim's recommendation and just report it for other cops to deal with, you get no credit towards the shivers check. If you do the entire autopsy of the main victims body but fail the bullet detection check you also get no credit towards the shiver check despite everything else you do in that scene. Basically if there was a way to get no credit for the shivers check I inadvertently did it, which quite soured me on a game that I spent 23 hours playing in total.

Oh, that makes sense. I would recommend doing a 3/3/3/3 or 4/4/4/4 playthrough now that you know things to check, because there are quite a few scenes you would have missed that you would have decent success on skill checks without the game bombarding you with extra dialogue like a 6/6/6/6 playthrough would do. The body on the pier's resolution is heartwrenching

Yeah, maybe watch some streamers or something if you want to get that missing content, but I don’t a second playthrough would give you much if you didn’t click with it your first time around

My kids got me Subnautica for my birthday and I recently started playing it. I dunno what it is about being alone in an endless ocean that creeps me out but the first time an enormous monstrous fishmonster came screeching (literally screeching) out of the gloom to eat me I said "nope" and just turned it off. Not sure what it is about that game but it just makes me so uneasy* *(It's probably the monstrous screeching fishmonsters)

The thing dragging Subnautica down for me was that nobody mentioned it was a resource gathering/base building game. I just wanted undersea terror, not wandering around looking for stuff to pick up

I've been playing The Riftbreaker which is kind of a hybrid base building/action game and I don't know who thought up the dumb idea to make one of the minerals you need to advance in the tech tree just randomly spawn instead of being harvestable. So instead of just mining it you have to use a scanner which will lead you to a spot where you can dig but what you get is random. In the story mode when you first need it they send you to a spot on the map that just gives you enough to completely max out your storage capacity, which isn't exactly the sign of a well designed game.

Because eventually it will let you open a rift to a different map with actual deposits on it.

The material you need to progress is a random drop too, and after swimming around a while not getting any I got bored and quit. Thank goodness for game pass

I had a bunch of fun swimming around and exploring Subnautica, then before I actually had to build a base I could quit and watch somebody on youtube walk around their underwater palace. Worked for me.

Or just use the console friends. I hit the point where I had fun gathering stuff but didn't want to grind out the sub so I just poofed one into existence.

I had to lower Quake to 800x600 resolution to get it to a playable state on my PC, I can't console command didly on console or I'd have absolutely done that because I am envious of you.

There is an alternative to the shivers check if you fail it consistantly, the game directs you to talk to the fisherwoman's twins because there's a funky radio signal they can hear and things progress from there.

Some time shortly after building the prawn suit iirc.

Yes, it is literally impossible to fail the Shivers check that ends the game because if you fail it twice after doing everything possible you get redirected to the 'Children of the Sea' and the final sidequest that autosucceeds it.

I want to thank both of you. I failed the check once and then when nothing changed, went online. Everything on the first dozen results, and every single strategy guide published in the results, says you have to progress this way so I assumed this was the only way since the game has been out for years. The only way to get the information you shared to show up was to type in the quest name as otherwise I could not get it to show up which is hilarious for the failsafe of the desperate. Now that I know it is smart enough to have an alternate route just presented catastrophically badly, I can recommend to other people I know who would dig it and let them know this quirk.

I finished Subnautica without even stepping foot in 3 of the biomes, apparently. Didn't help that at least two of them were "this is entirely dark for absolutely no reason because that's how we can jump scare you with enemies". The game was a lot of fun, but there were some definite parts that felt way too grindy. The best part is definitely when you get the cyclops and prawn up and running and can go down way into the depths of the planet.
