i feel like i never made any moral choices in disco elysium. the options were just different ways of achieving the same result -- getting to the same place in different ways. or quirking yourself up and mildly annoying ur sidekick with racism or causing a nuisance vs not annoying people.

spoiler: if you choose to shoot cunoesse and it actually hits her, you just get a game over.


i think the game design in disco elysium revolved primarily around the player being responsible for what happens to the protagonist's personality and character development. in most CRPGs, the consequences of player choice are much more impactful to the world around the protagonist and the overall story.

note: i have not finished disco elysium, and i am still really hoping there are 2 branching plot outcomes where either 1) the union is destroyed, or 2) the union maintains its stronghold. then it will actually feel like all the political stuff (being able to determine if harry (raphael ambrosius) is a commie vs a liberal vs a fascist) actually has consequences for the plot.

i will confirm later.

I don't think karma systems that project morality on to the player, who is usually just messing around, add much to RPGs. They make it feel like the world is punishing you for acting like a psycho instead of the NPCs reacting in-character to your choices, although it might make sense for a Forgotten Realms game since the heavens and hells are actually based on your character's alignment.

clannad is significantly longer than planescape torment in word count and is over twice the length of the lord of the rings trilogy

only games i still get excited for are fromsoft.. i was disappointed in Elden ring "goypen world" part of the greatness of darksouls + bloodborne was seeing how all the areas were connected and exploring and finding secrets... exploring in elden ring is walking sim, also the reused enemies for caves was lame af. fun part was entering the not open world parts. and secret hunting was lame because i would be like "there has to be an item here" and their wasnt... i just spent time to look around some pillar and NOTHING.. also horse combat is retarded. swing left swing right, removing all the fun of mastering a moveset for a weapon against every enemy type in the game. AND you never complete areas because "LOL i can just run and jump over you xddd" so why 100% an area ever... the open world and horse were all DOWNGRADE.

Dark Souls 1 is probably the most overrated game of all time it sucks compared to every modern From game."Interconnected map" is a tranny video-essayist talking point and does not or barely does affect anything. Also, it's spammed over every From game related comment section on the internet, did you really feel like you needed to post that shit here too?

I am mad at Fromso(y)ft for making that bad AC 6 and getting all the soulsborn nerds to drive up the prices of the old AC games. I was LITERALLY looking for a copy of Silent Line for the PS2 when they announced Mech Souls. Now that shit is like $90

the map is the only redeeming factor of the game you fat obese fatass
feeling like it's a real world instead of just jumping between different levels and locations and knowing where something is by seeing it from the other side of the world directly affects how it feels to play it. that's part of why dark souls 2 is one of the worst things i've ever played
