Disco Elysium. Retrospective.

[@cd_404]

I found you through your Legacy of Kain videos and I must say I love the writing in your videos. It's always a blast to watch. I'm excited about all the new content next year.

[@arkham666]

Glad you like it. I really appreciate the comment.

[@we-must-live]

damnest be thou, youtube algorithm - give this man’s efforts the reciprocation they deserve, may this video gain likes and comments tenfold any standing reserve! TRANSLATION smexy stuff dude!

[@arkham666]

Thank you so much. While I certainly wouldn't mind a lot more views and subscribers, I'll take a nice comment like this over that any day. I hope you have a good new year.

52:49 ah yes, the Human Can Opener

[@arkham666]

Yes I thought that was a good line. Especially because my so called can opening seemed to be doing the most random shit until people just told me the truth out of something like shock and pitty.

[@YourFavoriteSon1]

Great stuff, really interesting style. Keep it up!

[@arkham666]

Thanks son. Now go tidy your room.

Great video, brother. You did it justice

[@arkham666]

The editing on this one was hard man. So much of the game "looks" the same because the only thing changing is the dialogue and writing this thing was like navigating a labyrinth. It was a big challenge but worth it I think. I'm still gutted about not being able to use the music in some sections though.

Great vid as always. Absolutely incredible game. There is so much detail and substance there, it really shows that much thought and love went into it. As I understand the creative heads behind the game were ousted from the company that owns the IP, a bitter story that would fit quite well into the world they created. As mentioned, the game has an entrancing approach to failure. I neglected to note internalisation penalty for one thought in the thought cabinet and did not realise that I had 100% failure for red check as I went into late game. I failed a good chunk of important red checks but carried on with the consequence and I am glad I did, as the failure made the bitter sweet ending all the more impactful. Cuno is not that bad after all as well. Happy new year and lets see what the next one will bring.

[@arkham666]

Yeah Cuno's cool when you get to know him. Thanks for sharing your experience with the game. I love hearing about other people's stories with the games I cover.

[@brandonvandervort5040]

started at blood omen 2, was one of my favorite games as a kid, decided to replay it after 20 years because of your video, been going through a very hard point in my life and the nostalgia keeps me going lol, got hooked, and have been binging all of your videos, love the content, your stuff is A tier and I hope you get the exposure that you deserve, keep it up, I always am excited when I see a new video come out.

[@arkham666]

Thank you. Sorry to hear about your troubles. I'm a follower of stoicism myself and Einzelganger's content helps me a lot when it all seems like too much. Stay strong and I'm glad I could be some help.

[@valentinbicu1367]

Thank you for the video, great work. So happy this game has proven to you that dialogue trees may be worthwhile!

[@arkham666]

I've had a mixed relationship with dialogue trees. Done badly I sigh and try to skim through everything before the voice actors catch up, done well I can't get enough of it.

[@ArtoriasNX]

Haven't watched this because I have it I stalled on the deck ready to start soon, and don't want anything spoiled, but just dropping by to show my support with a like and what not!

[@arkham666]

It's a blast. Hope you enjoy it

[@Deadforge]

A wonderful video once again. A game I must finish. Nice to see our boy Mark in there. Looking forward to what you do next and keep it up. You've been a helpful friend and an inspiration for improving my content so thank you and happy new year.

[@arkham666]

Peace.

[@thelegendofner0]

Ah, the alcoholic boomer simulator. Love it! 11/10 furies

[@arkham666]

It really is wonderful. I can't recommend this one enough. I need to make time for a replay.

[@IamKoalaGG]

Hi! Cool gameplay video. Keep going, we need more videos! The game is awesome, I want to play Disco Elysium so freaking much, but I worry, my old laptop will not handle it🥲🥲! Hey, maybe you’ve heard something about Boosteroid? This is a cloud gaming service. And they have Disco Elysium in the game library. Do you know if it is possible to play games with this service without problems? It would be cool if you could make a video about that😇

[@arkham666]

Hi sorry about not replying sooner I only just saw this. Thanks for the nice comment, hope you get to play the game. I don't know about any cloud gaming sorry.
