games be like "you can choose to do bad things, and we won't judge you. it's your choice." while disco elysium is like "we will make fun of you for being a centrist."
@tredlocity I thought Dishonoured did it pretty well. If you killed loads of people, it would be easier, but there would be more police, more rats, and I think you couldn't actually save the girl at the end of it got too bad.
@tredlocity Tbf they make fun of pretty much every choice you make ideologically even though they're clearly aligned with the communists
@tredlocity Smt nocturne was like you were to much a beta to choose so you don’t get an ending
@tredlocity Someone will also point the weirdnesd if you somehow have more than one political leaning. My only complaints about this part of gameplay is that you're shamed too often if you try to be fair (even if compromise is necessary sometimes) and a heavy bias for one side.
@tredlocity This post has made me want to play disco elysium more than any other thing I've heard about it
@tredlocity I apologized too much like I do in real life and got made fun of in the game for being a crybaby cop. 10/10 burn 😂
@tredlocity Nothing made me restart a game faster than Fallout 3 when Three Dog shamed me on the radio for blowing up Megaton. Evil run lasted less than an hour or so.
@tredlocity tbh games trying to accommodate evil is the worst decision ever if I choose to be evil in a videogame its cause I choose to be evil goddamnit, I want the game to recognize my evil and call me evil and marvel at how evil Im being!
@tredlocity Disco Elysium is like “yeah man I feel you, being a communist in a capitalist society is pretty disheartening. Here, you’re permanently depressed now”
@tredlocity *spoilers so don't read if you don't want any. Finishing the centrist quest gives you a non-standard game over where you get "disappeared" by the government for doing everything "right" and telling them everything
