why? it's a game where it's fun to live with your bad rolls. just save often so you don't die at any of the minor difficult parts and live with your choices, like the protagonist does.

Well now I haven't touched the game in many months so I'll probably restart one last time with the new update and experience it anew.

I love DE but I don't think I'm ready to play it again just to hear voice acting that I'm mostly going to skip through. I hope whoever they found to say HARDCORE TO THE MEGA eighty times really commits.

I picked this up on the ps4 and the load times between areas are insanely long. Is it that bad on PC too?

PS4 version is buggy and crashes but it's the only version I've ever known and it's still pretty great.

Maybe during the initial load, but not really a problem between areas.

fwiw disco elysium isn't the kind of game you need an epic graphics card or w/e. generally a console gamer so i can easily see things on the TV but the amount of text in DE definitely makes it better as a PC game IMO

Game is extremely good, every time I think I’m getting stuck or running out of leads new stuff opens up. Lots of internet people talk about the politics and the communism stuff but I’ve been having a blast as an inland empire art cop just getting super abstract and conceptual with everything I run into. It felt like leveling was super slow but then I got the “get exp for every artsy answer” thought and have more skill points than I know what to do with

It's a very good game and the writing pwns. It feels very free even if at the end of the day you're a burned out loser cop no matter what. Its just full of charm the whole way through.

yeah, the pacing really works well that way, you sort of get down to the rocky bottom of your list and then just when you think you're going to hit a wall, seven new things open up. and you can sort of play him however you want because almost everything has a "gain experience for every time you use this thought" thing. you can easily play most of the game ranting about feminism, the otherwordly apocalypse, or how much you enjoy drugs and it still works out. you can play him as a guy who hit his rock bottom and is finally getting better or as someone who's still circling the drain. just about the only thing he can't be is over his ex-wife.

Been playing this quite a bit the last few days and its really neat. I’m falling into the trap of not wanting to offend anyone but it seems it’s less fun this way so I’m the next play through I’m going to dabble in the politics and being a oval office paths that are open to you.

I thought playing it the 2nd time around took some of the shine off this game. I thought there might be more difficult to achieve and or different branching paths than there actually are in the game.

Actually if you manage to avoid learning about Dolores dei then at the end of the game the nightmare in the bunker doesn't happen and inland empire congratulates you.

does the ps4 version make you do cursor pointing to move around or can you move directly?

i really don't like click around moving and it was what put me off playing this properly before. also then i heard the final cut version was coming. it's on ps store now for a reasonable price but i want to know about the movement.

I finally unlocked what I thought was a slam dunk on the case and then it’s blown wide open again. Voice acting is good (if not for the awesome french accents that all the police force has) and for some reason I find the game world really charming

my read on the game's politics is that all the NPCs who talk about it are meant to sound like raving lunatics or selfish manipulators, but I played it before they added the new politics quests.

That's pretty accurate, the developers are Eastern European communists which pretty much means they've given up on hoping for anything good to ever happen without immediately being ruined by the kind of people you meet in the game lol
