  • Haven’t played it in a few years. For me it was an enjoyable enough game, but the problems were with the glitches and stuff. I played on Xbox one at launch and it wasn’t unplayable or anything.

    It was just that everything outside of main story missions and some of the side quests was crappy filler. The city was beautiful and a cool environment to run around in, but there was hardly anything to do in it. So many of the side missions are just “go to building, shoot ten guys”, with a god damn text pop up of what could generously be called “flavour text” in lieu of any kind of interesting dialogue.

    There were a few fun fleshed out characters, but coming from the people who made the Witcher 3 the lack of charm and intrigue in most of the side jobs was such a let down. The lack of a lived-in feeling world was a let down too. No matter how many issues they’ve fixed I don’t know how it could turn from a 6-7/10 to a 9-10 for me









  • I am on day two of disco elysium which I just started for the first time (no spoilers!). I’m enjoying it enough, I’m guessing it’s such a hit with people here because of the vibe and the ability to be a communist? It definitely has some good writing that hits home or makes me laugh. But as a “game” it hasn’t blown me away. Walking around the same 3 streets and doing dialogue trees and skill checks isn’t the most exciting or engaging gameplay, the fact that the dialogue is good is what is carrying it so far.

    But as I said I’m only like halfway through the second day, I assume it’ll open up more. I just uncovered that there’s a deeper mystery to the initial inciting murder. Keen to see where it goes. And I’m definitely not not enjoying it. I’m just waiting for it to blow me away.

    But yeh all the existential dread and depression and substance abuse, very cool very vibe.
