AndCallMeCharlie

Kow don't you live in Spain? pair of flip flops not suffice?

His feet will fit in some olive jars.

To answer the question in this threads title, I intend to play as a dirty cop.

But do I also have the option to play as a:

Good Cop/Bad Cop
or
Doughnut Eating Cop?

What I am trying to say is, just exactly how many cop classes are there in this game?

I walk bare feet, or at least with just socks on, every opportunity I get. Even at work. You can get tough leather socks or something for outside. Or at least those Vibram shoes.

Ive only just discovered what this is and holy fuck

hylian_elf

Mate, walking bare feet has been around for a long time and shouldn’t be that surprising!

I'm totally digging all the British Sea Power references.

Only thing putting me off is the pc interface. But I can hook it up to the tv and veg on the sofa I suppose.

I'm currently behaving like some kind of fascist art cop, who has more or less accidentally internalized advanced race theory. But at heart, I'm still the same vulnerable, apologetic socialist I was when I started.

In other words, it's not clear-cut classes or categories as such, it's much more complex. And interesting.

This doesn’t have controller support at the moment (at least that’s what the internet thinks).
Can anyone confirm / deny?

AndCallMeCharlie

No controller support

Minnesänger

I can understand most games on a controller, but a trad CRPG/WRPG? Better off with a wireless mouse, no?

Kow

Rpg with controller is as bad as a fighter on keyboard and mouse.

n0face

I tried to punch a youth, missed and collapsed in self hatred.

Kow

But what about the game?

n0face

This isn't a game?

Exactly. Games like Divinity: OS2 just about get away with it because they evidently spent fuck loads of time optimising controller schemes. But a game like this from launch? Mouse all the way.

This is certainly not a game made to be liked by everyone.

Now that it's done - what a beautiful, unreservedly human game this was.

And if you permit me to overthink it a bit, it's interesting how well Disco Elysium's release coincides with Peter Handke getting the Nobel Prize. Because this, just as Handke's literature, is so much about capturing the moment and acting upon it. How no thought, impulse or feeling ever can be waved off as too extraneous, since there's always the possibility that it will be the one to take you somewhere new. Somewhere really important.

So, after a drinking deluge of epic memory shattering proportions - which works as a catalyst, a turning point, basically a chance to be born again - you wake up on the shit and cum stained floor and get to re-experience everything life has to offer without having to adhere to prior obligations or moral views of right and wrong. Free to finally find the truth about yourself.

I loved giving myself over to it completely.

thanks for that. it made me want to read Handke. And maybe get the game.

This is definitely my favourite game of the year, it will likely be in my top 5 of the decade. It's fucking magnificent, not without flaws, but is something who you could unashamedly present to someone who knows nothing about games and they would be intrigued.

We need a Review of the year award and this should win it. Hands down. Great job Silke.
