No thanks I’d rather pirate it
Ip was stolen by corporate suits
Pirating the game is the most moral thing you can do
Reminder that the original creators kinda don’t want you to pay for the game anymore, since all of the profits go to the shitty rights-holder. If you miss this claim, simply *redacted* the game.
The op webshite required lot’s of logins; and less said about the date format for the age verification . . .
redacted seems way less bother.
Just say it: preserve.
It’s a combined disability discount: people with hook hands, peg legs, and eyepatches may be entitled to a price as low as 0%.

The good ol’ zero finger discount.
Thanks, been waiting to play this one.
Though, epic Games licks ass. I’d rather buy it on steam right now for less than $5.

*kicks ass?
Nope. Licks. Hate epic Games launcher and all that BS.
If it’s only the launcher, maybe take a look at Legendary, a command line tool to download and lauch games from the epic store. If you don’t want to bother with the command line, heroic launcher uses it and theres also a plugin for Playnite.
Ahh, got it - it sucks ass
Outstanding game. Easy recommend if you haven’t played it
It’s a great game, but not the masterpiece everyone told me.
No game can ever satisfy everyone. But just because it wasn’t for you doesn’t mean it’s not one of the greatest RPGs ever. I didn’t enjoy clair obscur like I thought I would, but I’m not gonna pretend it’s not an amazing game.
Chill out he said it was great. And I also agree with him, its not a masterpiece like everyone is making it out to be.
I’m quite chill… just pointing out the difference between fact and opinion. And besides, who gets to decide what is a masterpiece and what isn’t one if not “everyone”?
Not you for starters.
He literally said that it was a great game.
Oh yeah I fully agree that no game can satisfy everyone.
It’s just that, before playing it myself, I never heard a bad thing about it so I might have expected too much out of it.
Still I enjoyed it, even if it’s not a game I’ll recommend to everyone.
Same.
The writing wastes a LOT of time. Yes, I get it, that’s the vibe they want to set, but the vibe was set like 5 minutes ago, and all you’ve done since is print synonyms for “drunk asshole.”
It’s also paraded as pro-communist media, and it really isn’t at all. People are so capitalist-brained, that any game which places communism and capitalism on equal footing, pointing out the faults in both and mocking them relentlessly, is somehow “pro-communist.” In particular, the games plot-relevant example of a die-hard communist is not someone to aspire to. Neither are the capitalists or fascists, but that’s kind of the point: it’s hard to say it supports any political viewpoint when it shits on everyone fairly equally.
Honestly, I wanted and expected a lot more out of it. Particularly in the ending.
Though it was absolutely worth the playthrough. It’s a fantastic game, just not this pinnacle of writing the way the internet plays it off to be.
The game was made by communists, and they do make fun of themselves and other communists a lot and try to be even handed with the satire. That being said, if you’ve completed all four political vision quests you do notice how pro-communist the authors are. I always recommend people do the communist path on their first playthrough, because it is the political quest that injects a necessary piece of hope into the game. It feels almost like the “canon” choice considering how well it balances out certain other elements of the story.

Not only do you have some gorgeous lines in the book club about their motivations, like:
“I guess you could say we believe it because it’s impossible.” He looks at the scattered matchboxes on the ground. “It’s our way of saying we refuse to accept that the world has to remain… like this…”
But then the scene also ends with irrefutable proof that infra-materialism works. Ideas can change the world if you believe in them.
I think it’s more than that. The way the game criticizes legal institutions, religion and the union is clearly informed by a revolutionary perspective. I don’t think Disco Elysium is subtle or coy about its politics, it just doesn’t pretend like achieving these goals will be easy.
The writing wastes a LOT of time.
The writing is the reason for playing the game. If that’s wasted time, maybe this kind of RPG isn’t your thing.
It’s also paraded as pro-communist media, and it really isn’t at all.
100% dependant on your play style. If you go down Socialist Cop route, it’s pro communism. If you go down the Crypto Fascist route, the game is pro-racism.
That’s why it is one of the best RPGs of all time; You have so much choice and agency that you get like 16 different versions of the same story, based entirely on what you choose to do, and those stories are written as well as any book.
I’m looking forward to more people experiencing this game.
I own it on Steam. It supports the Mac on Steam. I wonder if Epic offers the Mac version. (Epic is at war with Apple over iPhone stuff. The Mac has always allowed their stuff, but they stopped supporting it as protest.) Claimed either way. Doesn’t hurt anything.
