DisturbedSwan Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Day 1 on the Final Cut for me although I’m apprehensive about playing this kind of game with a controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted December 12, 2020 Author Share Posted December 12, 2020 It's fine, your mostly just clicking dialogue options and slowly running around. Sometimes you pick up broken bottles. It's not a very Baldur's Gate type of thing with lots of interfaces to click through. I think the more important question is distance from screen and reading comfort, although I guess the new version you won't have to read as much (but still have to read a lot, like the different traits you unlock and such) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted March 4, 2021 Author Share Posted March 4, 2021 Giving this a bump cause it looks like the update will be happening quite soon I didn't actually complete my playthrough so I'll be starting again with a very different character. Altho I think I'll still make him a hedonistic druggy who licks spilled rum off tables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Pleased it's happening soon although my March is pretty busy as is, will have to wait til May/June before I can play it I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one-armed dwarf Posted March 17, 2021 Author Share Posted March 17, 2021 Fully voice acted is cool and all but the more I think on it the more I think that actually I might turn that off cause there's enough Cuno in the game as is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted March 19, 2021 Author Share Posted March 19, 2021 Playstation gameplay of Disco Elysium I'll quickly reiterate what this game is all about, it's a CRPG where instead of having a battle system all the conflict happens in dialogue or inside your head and your 'party members' are your inner neuroses (eg your cowardice or your cravings for hard drugs and partying) and a very cool sidekick called Kim. I've seen some people say elsewhere the game seems overpriced but this is a full fat RPG, it's not a 5 hour walking sim. You also shouldn't save scum decisions in this cause fucking up a dice roll is really really funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryokutai Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 People are talking about prices way too much anyway. It's either worth it for you or it isn't, case closed. I'm waiting for the inevitable physical release with this. Also maybe the Switch version. It seems to have an awful lot of text but depending on how they scale it this could be a nice handheld game.

one-armed dwarf Posted March 23, 2021 Author Share Posted March 23, 2021 Here's some Cuno gameplay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N84rQcnAbaA It cannot be embedded. Anyway a bit of a nit pick but I sort of wish that the narrator attempted different voices for your internal thoughts but that's asking a whole lot. Leaning towards maybe turning the monologue voice off tbh but it's cool it's in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one-armed dwarf Posted March 31, 2021 Author Share Posted March 31, 2021 Apparently it's busted and runs like shit on PS5, oh well https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2021/03/hands_on_maybe_dont_buy_disco_elysium_on_ps5_at_launch I am hoping that the PC version hasn't been badly affected by 'Final Cut', that this is just an issue with the console ports. Had zero issues with this when I played it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 I'm sure it'll get fixed shortly, PC-centric games always seem to struggle at first on console. I'm not buying it yet anyway (although that PS+ offer is tempting), I've got too much on my plate I need to get through, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted March 31, 2021 Author Share Posted March 31, 2021 Given the year that's in it I'd be less optimistic of a quick fix. I am thinking my next cop will spec for motor skills (so I don't turn into a corn cob when asked to perform simple tasks and put under pressure) and I may keep the people skills. I actually started a new game last night on this build and immediately died from a heart attack from minor exertion tho so you have to be careful if you go physical-1.

AndyKurosaki Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Played the first hour of this on PS4, it’s definitely off to an interesting start. I watched a few brief gameplay videos prior to buying it, to get an idea of what I’m in for. And it’s certainly getting it’s hooks into me. One of the criticisms of the console version I’ve seen, was that at times it doesn’t register when you want to exit a room, and have to press X to do so again when that happens. I’ve had that happen a couple of times, but it’s hardly a game breaking issue. With it being a PC game originally, changing to a controller instead of a mouse and keyboard is always going to be problematic. Still, I like what I’ve played so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I put a couple of hours in to this yesterday. I was sort of expecting to be able to find a solution to every challenge in it, or at least ways to improve my chances, but that's not really been the case. I've started conversations I can't back out of, destined to fail the action set out in front of me Kim seems a great character, and it's been genuinely funny so far. I've not managed to get the body out of the tree yet, but there's one or two things I've opened up. I am tempting to restart the game as a physical build so I can twat the scouse kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiofloyd Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 They made him scouse? That’s pretty funny. I imagine having voices will change this game a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted April 7, 2021 Author Share Posted April 7, 2021 I thought he was in the original too ? They did change who voice acts him, but fuck does cuno care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craymen Edge Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 For comparison: Still scouse, but the old one would have been annoying as fuck fully voiced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
