Same. Which is doubly funny when I'm Canadian.

I'm both a Sorry Cop too. The Thought you get for it is pretty good, actually.

Ahh, you're role playing as the LAPD.

@@Xbob42 he didn't say a thing about racism though.

Same but 8 hours.

You guys can always go to the mailbox and pet it. Tell it has done good, you understand its pain and share a warm moment with it

@@Henrque123 ALWAYS KICK THE MAILBOX

they will agrue with each Other even lol, its great

It's amazing everyone should play it. I got it while waiting for the outer world's and it's probably my favourite game of the year

They are essentially your own party aside from Kim(or one character if things go a certain way) and if you raise that stat too much, they start talking more and more, actually being able to distract you or make you look insane. They also don't...always give good advice but it isn't always obvious, for example, at one point you meet a character that your stats like so damn much they act like there is no way this character is a suspect or has anything to hide, when said character has quite a bit of interesting stuff, though at least in that certain case, one of your stats will go ahead and warn you there may be a clear bias going on and tries to warn you, but this doesn't always happen, sometimes they really just trick you and don't warn you. So yeah, don't always listen to your stats, and try to avoid always putting stat points unless you want your character to look like an insane weirdo, had unspent skill points at the end of the playthrough precisely because of this, unlike many RPG's, putting too much points CAN hurt you in the end, unless you don't mind your character being so weird others find you too annoying or insane to work/talk to.

Now THAT is cool. When your stats themselves can talk to you, you know you're in for an interesting time.

This is definitely one of my favorite games of all time. I cannot recommend it strongly enough if this review piques your interest.

Hold up, you can punch that brat?

@@MrDaniyil hell you can gun down Cunoette but it results in a game over

@@passdoutcouchpotatos Wh- No fucking way

@@passdoutcouchpotatos How do you do it? I'm asking for a friend, of course.

@@slippy5849 take the gun from Kim to shoot down the body. Instead of shooting at the body, shoot Cunoesse. It will lead to a "Burnt-out Cop Shoots Child" headline gameover

This is the Kane & Lynch we deserve.

Oh my god that's... why didn't I see that before? That's brilliant! And totally true x3 heh If Kane & Lynch were cops, I miss that series.

Kioni Sua I know right?

Jim Sterling You got that right.

Thanks for reminding me, looks like I’m playing Kane and Lynch 2 again :D Kinda wish Jim didn’t give the game a 1 but oh well.

You will almost definitely be both. Mostly the second one.

@@TheIncognitusMe I tried to roleplay as the biggest asshole in the world but I just started feeling bad for embarrassing Kim all the time.

Yes! A great straight man to your shenanigans. And a great character in his own right.

anaalinaama See I wanted to do a full physical run but I know I’ll end up being hated by Kim, so I have trouble justifying it.

@@TheIncognitusMe High Physique doesn't preclude being nice to or pleasing Kim. Your PHY skills *can* be used to hurt other people, but mostly they just make you more empathetic to other people's bodies. You'll notice that someone is a lot more buff than they should be (Physical Instrument), or that you just startled them into wanting to run away (Half-Light). Shivers is its own kind of thing, though. I like to describe it as the "Sam Vimes" ability: you are in tune with the city itself and perceive it as a living thing.

Ubisoft: Our game isn't political. ZA/UM: Hey! Wanna thoroughly analyse Communism?

The devs thanked Marx and Engels at The Game Awards. legends

Put so much politics in the game that the very notion of keeping it out of games dissolves from the gamer's brain

@Toxic Potato Most of the time people consider any politics they don't agree with as "forcing" them into a game including such politics as Gay people exist and Black people.

@Toxic Potato "social justice politics" is an absolutely idiotic thing. This is the excuse Gamers use to justify them being mad at the fact that theres a minority in a video game, saying shit like "its forced!". I mean, what even is that supposed to mean? Do they have to find some excuse, some reason to why the character isn't white or straight? What about forced "whiteness" then. Diversity in video games is not politics. Games have always ACTUALLY been political, but of course Gamers don't get games like bioshock, hotline miami, witcher all with heavy and actual political themes

Old Man Henderson - the game.

Also you forgot to mention the meaning of studio's name.

@@TheJackal917 What is the meaning, if you don't mind me asking?

Here's hoping it's all free. Nothing screams irony louder than a communist paywalling their content like a true capitalist.

@@bigbobilly8991 The group's name is associated with the term "zaum", used in Russian symbolic poetry in the early 20th century, to denote "out of mind" experiments with sound symbolism and linguistic nature in an attempt to overcome rationality.

Narrator: It was not the second coming of Christ.

I thought it said you "hugged a window" and then I was upset that I patted the mailbox and didn't hug the window

I did this twice lmao

Didnt he do thst children of mortia vid a week or 2 ago?

Like life has meaning again for a few minutes. You know?

‘Sex’ in the title may balance that out lol

@@DIYisntDead Yeah he did, even tho Children of Morta is a completely boring game.

I will get the game at TPB store for free, it's supporting communists.

@@davidr5445 The Pirate Bay Store. They use torrents :P

yeah, maybe not yourself perse, but pick a persona and roll with it

@@moridin462 True!

@@moridin462 Yeah, I'd agree. I made the mistake of playing as *Myself* in the Sims. Within two days my Sim ended up a sobbing mess, curled up in a fetal position on the bathroom floor in a puddle of his own urine. That's about as recommended as eating a heaping bowl Frosted Peyote Flakes and staring at yourself in the mirror for about ten hours.

dont watch any more reviews or lets plays or whatever and don't save scum at all. Try and go with your original dice rolls. That's my 2 cents.

@@NatrajChaturvedi That's also pretty important I would agree too!

You can tell by the way I use my walk, I'm a woman's.... oh, nevermind...

MsDivale it’s like 30 bucks. It’s literally half the price of a normal videogame. What are you on about

MirageBarrage it’s still not expensive

Redmoon383 it’s been in the top selling on steam for like 2 weeks. Not exactly hiding.

@@ancientflames I'm not on pc most days, I play console more cause all my friends are there

im sure this game isn't overlooked, even ign gives it a 9

Jim always says nobody watches his recommendations. I always appreciate them, shame.

Nickochione Antony Well, if IGN would have given it a low score, that’d be worth mentioning, but IGN giving a high score isn’t exactly a rare thing. At all.

Was the voice acting recorded and added post-release? I was confused when Jim referred to there not being much voice acting.

@@plantagominor722 Yes, it came as an update an year or so later. 'Disco Elysium - The Final cut' it's called, fully voiced and had a few extra quests. Free update for existing owners of Disco Elysium.

Amen

@@kutlumzrak2689 Torment: Tides of Numenéra deserved better.

@@Whitecroc Numenara wasn't bad but it tried way too hard to imitate Torment while not understanding the unique personality and reason it was written that way. Numenara ends up feeling more pretentious, grandiose and shallow than deep and reflexive.

This isn't even its' final form

I got that feeling at the beginning of Disco. It really starts off as if you’re the Nameless One, and in a way you are.

amazing.

-Fool who missin' out!*

yeah its awful...but cmon, no cons? the game has no flaws? i dont believe

@@bes5164 Some things don't have cons. Say, a clawhammer. It does precisely what it was designed to do. Sure, one can complain that it cannot break solid concrete or that it doesn't let you unscrew things, but if you complain about that, most people are probably going to give you funny looks.

I know a lolcow that would say this exact thing, but he's a nobody so no real harm done

That's my no new steam id lol

if they loved engels more authority would make everyone piledrive you on sight

All praise the Engagment! (and auto correct)

-I proposed to my GF and she said yes! -Well, congratulations on your ENGAaAaAGEMENT

Hail to the Engaaagement lord and our saviour Jim Sterling .

I have nothing to say, I'm just here for the enragement, by looking at the comments section and finding something to get angry over.

Same

There's always games like these but people decide to spend their time complaining about AAA games instead.

@@salemsaleh9577 For every one person complaining, there's a thousand buying AAA games. Get out a little, only watching only youtube videos is giving you tunnel vision.

@@belldrop7365 You're missing his point. Basically, if people who like these types of games spent more time looking for them instead of complaining about the AAA crap that gets plastered all over the store's front page, they'd have plenty to play. And he isn't wrong.

@@TheRPGentleman That's exactly what I meant.

@@belldrop7365 So you don't even want people to buy AAA games? God forbid people enjoy them

It grows on you.... I'll grab my coat.

Gabbie the tie is good. Always trust the tie for the full disco elysium experience.

It looks boring but yet it has my attention . Yeah I'm going to give this a shot while waiting for Outer Worlds and Squadron 42 .

Here’s me adding to this thread with a paraphrased joke I remember hearing from many years ago... *Opens up dictionary to learn what getting engaged to your fiancé will entail* Engage -> Verb: Enter into combat against the enemy. *Flips through a few pages* Mother-In-Law -> Noun: (see “Engage”)

Lord knows a guy pushing 900k subs needs your comments. And not, you know, the smaller youtubers out there that would cry with joy just to break 100 subs.

@@pikapika3667 Dude why does my supporting Jim affect you? Kindly fuck off .

I even sung it in my head

yea listening to my character's limbic system talking about how sweet sweet nothing is was certainly a unique way to start the game and I loved it from that very first moment too!

Man, opening dialogue is something. DS isn't out yet and after Disco Elysium I highly doubt it can impress me in this kinda way.

Haha yeah I could relate with the dialogue of waking up with a terrible hangover and NOT wanting to be awake.

Disco Elysium is easily one of my favorite games ever, let alone this year. And I don't like/play CRPGs normally and was 100% ready to skip this one because of that, but a review on launch day got me interested.

@@Xbob42 same here, man. Exactly same. I feel it as a great mystery book you just can't buy in a book format. Best money I've spent in years.

I thought 2017 was a slam dunk of a year, but between Outer Wild's grand mystery and Disco Elysium's masterful pen and paper shenans, they both just might be my two new favorite games of all time. 2019 is OP.

Or perhaps, "Breath Of The Wild Drunkard".

Come to think of it, "Breath of the Elysium" is kind of a cool name

I was just considering purchasing this game yesterday!

@@voidhog1028 do these devs deserve the support. I got whole waiting for the outer world's and I love it. Since I got the outer world's for a euro with game pass had the money to buy this instead

I'm pretty sure asking once is enough, really.
