I discovered Harry's track record with the papers. When I got the badge all I felt was shock due to what Harry had done with the car. I didn't even have the heart to ask Kim if rank was the only reason he put up with my bullshit.
If it wasn't action packed and badass, that's on you. You made your Harry, after all. Next time try playing with Half Light and high Physique/Motorics.
When I first played through the game I never actually found my gun. Then the gun fight scene happened. I watched a lot of them die, but I dodged a bullet and saved Kim from getting shot. Still woke up 3 days later, solved the murder and recruited Kim to precinct 41st. This game will never leave my mind.
I got through like 2-3 playthroughs before actually having the conversation where you learn what "the pale" is, aka the most important part of the games lore.
When I was like that, depressed I mean, crying was something I sometimes intentionally induced because after 20 minutes of crying I would feel numb for hours
I know many people have said this before, but Harry Dubois is literally me. Like straight up I'm an alcoholic and super depressed. I became a detective and solved tons of cases. I even went to this place called Martinaise and solved a super crazy murder that was link to a future civil war. I even found a huge fucking bug.
I'm an angry alcoholic and a starting prosecutor in a 2nd world post communist dystopia. My niece left me out of the blue.

I'm really surprised that you were inspired by my video, went through this work of art and came back to tell me about your experience, showing that I didn't throw it in premier pro for nothing in 5 minutes. Thanks dude❤

This is not a game... It's art. It's what changes people and shakes their world. Mine was shaken. Grim topics,memorable characters and just a hint of humor and magic. Truly unforgettable, Disco Elysium is.
disco elysium is literally the best piece of art i have ever experienced. i legit get extremely sad when i remember i can never play it again like the first time.

This video got me to blind install this game. I typically hate this genre because I’m impatient, but this game is very special. Phenomenal art direction and voice acting
I’m literally that young boy Broh. When I was a kid I thought everything would turn out fine. Id go to school get a job live a normie life style but, then I became a raging alcoholic after some trauma and almost died trying to walk up a short set of stairs; after a hangover of heavy binge drinking which lead me to being in the hospital for over 2 weeks recovering. This basically turned my life into a whole A disco Elysium reference.
I totally agree, I was inspired by the snake edit and honestly I have no idea why my video got so many views. given that soon it will be like detective arrive on the scene
Just finished this game yesterday. I have never played a game that made me sad, but the dream sequence (you know which one I mean) made me legit shed a tear. Even more emotional, because I was playing it with Tequila Sunset actually wanting to change
I bought disco elysium thanks to this video and it was one of the most unique things that I've experienced a truly unforgettable experience. So, I come back to this video once a while, feels good. Side note: Thank you calacion, for introducing me and many others to a masterpiece.
Harry is always an *_incredible_* detective, one of the best RCM ever have in fact. Solving 216 cases (If you just finished the game, it's become 219 or 220 cases) in 18 years of service while dealing with alcoholism and depression is no joke. Even Kim which already in the force for two years longer than Harry, only ever finished half of Harry's case load. It can be justified that he got stuck on Juvenile Crime Unit for 15 years, but Kim is sane and *functional* compared to Harry. Harry just _literally_ thinking outside of the box in solving his cases. If his shell is just _that_ good, imagine how good he is on his prime.
@@unknownguyindo4356 considering Harry is able to also reconstruct the crime scene to figure out what happened,it's no wonder why he's exactly the best.
I forgot that I already wrote a comment in the video xd. But I wanted to say again that I love it. I keep revisiting it, and I love the scenes you ve choosen
I’m happy I have my family and friends, otherwise I could definitely see myself in the same situation as our Harrier Du Bois. In fact all I’m lacking is drugs and alcohol.
This video convinced me to play it, now I understand, god I just passed the merc tribunal and this is one of those games I'll remember clearly until the day I die
i shared this video and think i managed to get 2 new disco elysium fans! this game is way too criminally underated. thank you for making this video and helping spread a little more awareness for such a epic story game

Hey i just wanted to tell you this video made me want to play disco Elysium and i wanted to say thank you for creating something not only entertaining but interesting. I think you really did justice to this hauntingly beautiful game. Thank you.
I don't even know the game, but just looking at the scenes and the music I completely understand and relate, I think maybe I even feel the same as you do
There’s something about storys with a broken down once great cop/soldier that no longer cares about life pulling himself up and giving everything he has left in him for one last case that hits a man in his heartstrings every time. Even better when their best friend/partner is right there along with them (Kim being disco elysiums)
Childhood is wanting to be a superstar cop
