I played Harry as truly repentant of his past and tried to stay sober. But needed to get drunk to help through a skill check and the guilt I felt when Kim found out I was drunk hurt on a deep level. Never has a game made me feel actual depression from the character I was playing
"Upsettingly good" perfectly describes my feelings too- finishing it left me hollow, chasing the feelings it created like a drug. And I don't think any other game will reach Disco Elysium's level.
Absolutely.
Fallout New Vegas...your welcome
had the unique of experience of wanting this to be my favorite game ever and then it was
@@melancholyman369 thats a great game that is going to pale in comparison to this, especially without playing it through a number of times to see how great a job they truly did on giving you choices that are almost always reflected in the world in some way
@@AllfatherBlack not to me, rng is gambling without the losing money, and giving me nothing but dialogue is boring. Tho I do hope that games copy some the ideas the set down even tho it's highly unlikely
Died in the first minute from a heart attack while trying to grab the tie from the fan. 10/10
Iirc I died on several different occasions before even interacting with the guy in the tree. The first time with the ceiling fan is ha ha funny gimmick but I'm not gonna savescum every single interaction over the course of this entire fucking game. Haven't touched it since.
This game is called a personality simulator for a reason. I actually learned more about myself, my feelings, thoughts and fantasy... Never thought a game could do that!
The fact that you're forced into one extreme political view VS another kind of took me out of it, since I didn't feel like any of the responses they offered me with regards to either ideology was something I would've bought into. You're generally shoehorned into being either a militant communist or an amoral capitalist, and then as Grimbeard mentioned, the game kind of makes fun of you for falling into either extreme, despite not really giving you another option besides complete indifference.
@@KyokujiFGC Either? There's 3 others you haven't mentioned, including a 'militant centrist'. They do make fun of you for any choice but I saw that as a comment on the character's current mindset and desperation to escape his pain by following ideology down to it's extreme conclusions. Is making fun of us playing a downside? I loved that about it.
I am sorry cop.
I think there is something to be applauded in those 'reviewers' who decided to play a narrative-driven CRPG game and publicly complain about having to read too many words. Imagine having the self-confidence to write such things and post them online for everyone else to see. That takes a lot proverbial balls! These people... Just... Wow.
They're just intimidated by the possibility they wrote as much words in their professional career as there are in this game but didn't write anything worthwhile
To be fair there are definitely a lot of games both eastern and western that are so wordy yet say absolutely nothing of substance. However, Disco Elysium is definitely not one of them, I’m excited for the expanded edition existing owners are getting as a free update.
"Looks like it was made in 1998.
I'm a Gamer, not a reader.
Absolute garbage.
10/10
There's a little something for everyone"
Yeah, it's a visual medium. Some things need to be conveyed through like animations and shit
They are just smart enough to get that they don't get it but just dumb enough that they think they can convince the rest of us that they do😁
Inland Empire is such an amazing skill in respect to the Cooper analysis. It’s literally named after a Lynch movie.
There is a specter haunting the Goth Gamer Nation...
The specter of Gaymerism
As per usual
Supranatural...
"Sometimes games are good, here is the video!"
I'm dying.
You’re doing it wrong. gAmE iS gOoD!
I remember starting up the game and not understanding the game yet.
MC died when he over exerted himself since he only got that One Point in that Body stat and he had a heart attack when he tried to get his tie from the ceiling fan.
I knew it was something special right then.
An hour long Grimbeard vid about Disco Elysium holy fuck yes
Oh my... Fuck yes, the almost feature film length video about this fucking cool game from a fucking cool guy!
Hell yeah, dood!
Let's face it, with a game as deep as this it was bound to have a runtime this great :)
YOUR VIDEOS GOT ME THROUGH A 10 HOUR SHIFT AT WORK! IM GLAD I FOUND YOUR CHANNEL. DO NOT STOP.
This game is so beautifully written that before watching this video I absolutely didn't realize that all I did in it was reading.
This time the bitter ricompense was really bitter, made me sad. Wonderful video as always, I really love your style!
I absolutely love that the devs weren't afraid to make this game. It's not for everyone, and that's okay. We need more games that aren't afraid to be niche.
You're absolutely right. However the only people this game isn't for is cowards.
I didn't enjoy DE at all. I actually felt forced to play it through (I wanted to see it fully, cause of the hype around it). But I 100% agree with your statement. Not everything should be cast to the same mould.
Wow! If my friend was like, I need money to develop my video game passion project. Not only would I NOT sell my Ferrari, but I would remind him that I ate a bowl of plain rice for dinner.
you should get cooler friends
What a bad friend you are.
I tought you were saying that you woudn't help him at all but then i understood that what you mean is that you don't have much money and a ferrari to begin with.
@@lovebunny2652 this is possible yeah
@@lovebunny2652 In defense of your initial assumption, Zuckerberg could easily own many Ferrari's, likely eats plain rice for dinner, and definitely doesn't understand the concepts of "helping" nor "friends".
"Reading Simulator 2020" Strong words from someone who never faced Planescape Torment
@Wojciech Pordzik I agree with you. Some sort of combat would have been nice in disco elysium, or even the option to use ur weapon on who u want or something, true total control of your Character
@Wojciech Pordzik yeah. Something like baldurs Gate or fallout 2 even.
Nothing about Disco is supposed to focus on combat, that's why there is none. I bet putting it in the game was never in their plans. There are physical checks, sure, and one 'fight' i'm aware of, but as you know the "builds" are actually the character's psyche, their entire psychological atributes and some of them are kinda characters themselves, talking to you and arguing with each other over what course of action you want to do next. It's totally a case of apples vs bananas but to me that concept alone is a thousand times more interesting than any kind of rpg builds. I hope this team makes more games like this, building up from that same idea.
@@tabernaclejones6115 I feel like combat would have ruined this game. The story has nothing to do with combat. I feel like them caving to people wanting combat would have made the game they set out to make, less effective at achieving their artistic goals for the project. There are thousands of games you can go play if you want combat. But there are very, very few games like disco elysium.
If there was a combat system it would most likely be pretty basic and not particularly satisfying. It'd also necessitate an already small team to take a bunch of resources away from the main focus of their game. One of the only complaints I hear about Planescape is the combat. I've haven't played it yet but I assume from what I've heard that it might have been better off ditching the it entirely. Even if it turns a lot of people off of the game some experiences are best without certain systems. It"s like putting long ass dialogue trees in a Call of Duty campaign.
I actually really liked how you had such a differing opinion of Evrart from me. Where you see a guy getting shit done, I see senseless power grabbing. Where you see a guy guaranteeing benefits for his people, I see a guy strangeholding an entire neighborhood for the wealth of his personal clique. Where you see a guy who is open-handed and kind, I see a sneering manipulator who gives favors with the expectation of big returns. I don't think you're wrong in your assumption of Evrart, I think he's very noble in some areas, but the fact that you came to such a different conclusion from me about him while still going through the critical thinking to prove your statements about his character as logically strong speaks to the depth of the games writing and why its so much better than pretty much every game story on the market.
the game literally says that and implies it but his commie brain is rotten now unfortunately
@@adel885 edgy
It's something you rarely see, in a sense it made me dislike Fallout New Vegas story a bit. FONV started to come off as overrated after this game, with the NCR and Legion feeling quite shallow upon an in-depth examination. Although I think this game just raised the bar for me more than anything.
This game isn’t “open ended” it assumes the truth that communism is the way, but it’s also a test for whether or not you should be in a gulag
@@JohnJohnson-fl2fr The game prefers communism, but criticizes it just as much as any of the other ideologies. To me it feels like the creators saw it as the best working of all the broken machines keeping us going
BRB leaving obtuse game reviews to get into a Grim Beard video.
I see my boy Raphaël Ambrosius Costeau shaved and I immediately doubt you judgement altogether.
Jokes aside this game deserves all the love it gets and more. Game is good one might say. Video not bad either ;)
It might sound pretentious, but I felt like this game spoke to me on an intimate level.
That's what a well written work of art can do to you
It spoke to me so well, that I legit almost experienced panic attack at one point of the story and still have to beat it. No game ever did that to me.
I only felt that with Zero Escape Virtues Last Reward..with one of the "endings"...Not even Jupiter can hide..
@@elidasilva5558 shut up old geezer
Not at all. From the very start, Having that debate in your head whether you should wake up or go back into the void is something I have to wrestle with every morning,
I am not a gamer but I am a lover of game reviews in a long term relationship with a gamer who is still working his way through Disco Elysium. I am anxiously awaiting him finishing the game so that we can go over this review together.
Strange you only mentioned the entire arc about proto techno once with one sentence, personally I was fixated on it for days. And the entire church with the sphere, coolest thing I experienced at the time.
One point I like about the "ex-wife" part of the story in the game - there is a certain inclination that it might not be all self-indulgent phantasy of the main character. There are certain tidbits dropped about the Goddess character is viewing his ex as actually having an equally omnipotent husband. Husband that we learn much less about, yet that shares certain characteristics with our quite unfortunate protagonist. So there is definitely that implication that this whole dream sequence at the end is merely a figment of imagination, version protagonist wants to believe. After all, we can call the ex through quite real landline and have a proper nothing-out-of-ordinary awkward dialogue about past relations. But there still lingers that small possibility that there is a lot more to this. Especially if you put together some of the more provocative scenes, like having the dialogue with the embodiment of the City itself due to dancing too hard in the Church. City pointing out that protagonist's role is quite a lot bigger in the whole story, past and future, than he would like it to be.
When Klaasje's influence on you literally starts influencing almost every single one of your skills except volition (I think) was one of the greatest things I ever experienced.
I only experienced this in my 2nd playthrough with different stats sense I pretty much ignored that skill in my first playthrough I didn't even know I was getting played the whole time!!
This is currently my favorite storybased game, I can't wait for the final cut, and also one day we will teach "hardcore gamers" to read so they will no longer dislike games because reading=bad but bang bang stab stab=good.
I loved that moment, where Volition starts shit talking about all the other skills, forcing you to realize that you had been played like a fiddle the entire time. A great moment for me playing the game, where the very mechanics I had been relying on had secretly been leading me astray.
My read on the parodic political lines (27:20) is that they critique ideologies in general. You can't build an entire personality for yourself by blindly adhering to one political outlook or another. And if you try, you become a parody of what you intended to be. In any case, thrilled to see you cover this game! Best writing to come along in a video game in a long time.
Thanks Grim, you covering Disco Elysium is something I've dreamed of.
Man bitter recompense made me sad
This game was the most moving piece of media i have experienced since my heart went cold at age 4, seeing this review of it was the second most
Here from current day
The Final Cut is a fantastic experience and all the voices add so much to the game. There's something to be said for experiencing some of it in silence but IMO that gets vastly outweighed by the wonderful performance pretty much every VA gives, and being able to rely on your ears over pure reading I'd imagine makes it more accessible by people who are less a fan of books.
The one thing I'd add is don't be afraid to save-scum one or twice. DO NOT do it constantly, failure is 100% part of the experience, but if you've exhausted every other avenue and feel you're actually stuck don't feel bad. The game will just be happy it keeps being played.
This game is one of the best written games I have ever played. Planescape torment had a stronger plot, but the writing here is much more powerful for me - so human, so fun, so sobering, so creative - I almost never gets touched by writing, but man, this game stabbed me right in the feels, so many times. Must be on my top 5 of all time at least...
I think the game is beautiful, funny, poignant, intelligent...I could go on and on. I am glad it won awards. Thanks for the amazing review.
hell yea dood!
Dude, your shit is really really good.
Aaaaa! A game from my country!
This has got to be the newest game you've reviewed
and it's the newest video he's posted.....coincidence??
@@RoboBoddicker It's actually the oldest video he's posted.
I sometimes wish I could play games like this. But I need my tight controls, jumping, slashing and pew pew to get it on. That is one of the reasons I love channels like this though. Good vid.
You sound really boring.
@@Largentina. That's ok, I have other things going for me ^^
Terrific game review.
Bonus points for the casual use of the word "sartorial" which I've had to look up twice recently.
"I was a bag of piss at the time... you know the ones you get at the cafeteria??" I will remember that forever 😂
'There is a thing called nuance.' Gives the game a 1. Nice job buddy
Darkwood and this. Two insanely well done games I played thanks to you. Also your videos are weirdly effective in treating hangover.
Happy New Year Grim!
This is a perfect timing, was just about to open my 40!
Praise be the Grimbeard. Cheers.
I don't get the hate for "reading simulators". well I kinda get it... I don't have all the time in the world for games anymore either unfortunately:( And those type of games tend to be on the longer side. But reading can be way more exciting than constantly fast movements and flashing colors. There is nothing inherently wrong with a heavy dialogue/text based game. It can often be quite the opposite. This game looks amazing and I was way more invested when playing "reading simulators" like Pathologic 2, Planescape Torment and Tides of Numenera than playing anything ubisoft or EA have published in the last decade.
"they become really reactionary and defensive, like the entire conceit of this segment." ... bro your humor is so understated. I can't get enough :)
Never thought I’d watch a review of any game & end up hearing the reviewer talk about SikTh, play Mermaid Slur & Part of the Friction, & discuss Mikee Goodman’s poetry/voice. Beautiful stuff & immensely fun music to play. Keep being you.
Grimbeard I binged most of your game reviews in the last few weeks and finally subscribed. I'm doing a playthrough of vampire the masquerade bloodlines and can't wait to watch that review when I finish playing :)
first game i ever found myself raising my index finger to my temple whilst my fingers rested accross my lips as I absorbed the dialog.
I am waiting to see the *CRY CRY* GAMES ARE NOT MEANT TO BE POLITICAL *CRY CRY*
Man, your content is just SO entertaining and enjoyable.
Thank you for all the effort and quality you put into your presentations, the humor, the classy sarcasm, and the deep analysis of the characters and events in the games you choose to review.
I appreciate every bit of it.
I see a strong correlatiin between eastern european and my favorite games. This is like the 4th time this month alone I retrospectively realized that a game I enjoyed quite heavily is from eastern europe.
I wonder why that is. Have to dig deeper into that maybe
ENGAGE!
Nokia Ngage?
@@judas_physicist Certainly!
"maybe that's just me self-inserting and being Red by the game"
nice
:O
@@GrimBeard ФwФ
@@GrimBeard I have never felt more called out by a game. The socialism ideals, the synths and electronics music, trying to make something new. The nihilism and falling into the void. The whole thing. Read me like a fuckin book.
I was a play tester for the post released version of this game. Interestingly, there were not much issues with it, it is a solid piece of engineering. Honestly i found it hard to do my job properly. Once you get into the story, you get really lost and stuck in the world so i was more playing it in full details in order to check the "localisation and audio" then anything else XD It gave me real emotions, that sucked and is not a normal occurrence for me, but i figured that is what the devs wanted... ;) Reptilian brain guy has one of the most awesome voices i have ever seen. Anyways, i stalked around and hid the body in the fridge. Then i played the game and kicked a racist in his stupid head... I can understand why some people find it boring, i personally don't like games without active combat and probably would not have given it a chance if it was not my job at a time. It is a good thing i was kind of obligated into it and i think it is one of the warmest and most private and sad stories ever told. On the other hand, i am a Slav and we love our comedic depression simulators! XD
For too long games have tried to emulate films as if the movies are the pinnacle of artistic expression. Games, gamers and gaming have always had this inferiority complex regarding the medium.
But, as it turned out, games-as-movies wound up ploughing the same shitty field as cinema...money above all else, lowest common denominator, throw-away content.
Games-as-literature seem to work out better.
Sure, they don't make millions, they get shit on by gamers who think gaming is a dexterous activity which starts and ends at the fingers.
But for some of us, games like this mean more than a good K/D ever will, because the things we feel and learn are applicable outside of gaming, in the real world, inside ourselves.
I discussed my experience of this game with other people online and none of them called me a faggot, or attempted to apply a gross misreading of darwinism to my existence.
It was refreshing.
I realised that I'm done with paying a hundred dollars just for the experience of killing imaginary people, while a maladjusted twelve year old threatens to rape my family via chat.
The little fucker didn't even elaborate when I questioned his proposed method. He just said he had a roadmap.
All that hype, and nothing happened.
I've been gaming for 30 years, been literate for slightly longer. This game affected me as if it were a woman.
I still think about it, two years after I last played. And when I reflect on it, I cant help but reflect on myself.
It's really rather good
@@carlpotter1926 That last part of your reply got me, not gonna lie! I am generally chill so things don't really get to me but this one hurt. It is weird how the game translates well to match the players personality, I felt shame when fucking up and sadness at the end. I generally cared for some characters, even to the point of save scuming, just to keep them safe. Honestly, I love single player games (and rarely play mp) but if it was not mu job, I would probably never have tried Disco. After playtesting it for a month I started looking for more games like it (that is more open RPGs...). I still like survival games more but I played a bunch or RPGs as well. Also, a road map to fucking your family is comedy gold XD
@@rexrip1080 I am jealous that you were so closely involved with the game. Play testers generally get treated badly, especially by AAA producers, but I hope your experience was different.
As for the joke I made...I was doing my usual thing of trying to be funny because I felt I'd made myself vulnerable with the rest of my comment. Weird how making people laugh is a gentle form of coercion.
The fact that you, and the devs are slavic is way more pertinent than it first seems, I think.
People criticize the game for being nihilistic or depressing, or too 'socialist'. But I think it's easy in America and Western Europe to forget that the slavs have lived through and survived the ideologies which were thrust upon them. You've watched your ideologies die, ours just got better at lying to us and we cling to it because we have literally no alternative ideas.
Nihilism isn't the disappearance of ideology, it is the reappearance of humanity.
Honestly, the last time I felt so affected by artistic creation was when I first read Dostoevsky.
And it took me two attempts to play the game before I could do it honestly, without doing what I thought the game wanted.
I'd stop playing, go to work, and then have an argument in my head with something a character had said to me three hours earlier. Then I'd rush home after work to 'get closure', as the Americans say.
The fact that a game can do this, and the fact that so many people have similar experiences is beautiful to me, even as it exposes so much of my reality as a fraud...I am not a unique and special individual, who deserves everything and who's pain, love and reality is much more painful, lovely and real than anyone else's.
What I'm saying in my usual self- indulgent way, is that I felt different after playing and engaging with other people who played. No longer certain of myself, but also no longer alone in my certainty.
You apparently played a part in helping me feel that, so I thank you. Genuinely.
@@carlpotter1926 We worked with some AAA companies but there were a lot of indie companies as well, it was a balanced diet. The pay was shit but the office and interactions with devs were generally stellar so I can't say I had any of the typical problems that you see reported on. Most of the devs were good people and treated us well. Ubi people were dicks... I am a level designer and I just skip them when I am looking for work...
I think being Slavic only helped because most of our media is a combo of comedy and tragedy so the theme of the game got me good. If you look at a few of our movies (both Balkans, Ukraine and Russia), you will see the same pattern: Someone is doing something funny and then they die of tuberculosis or something like that. Then its happy and then someone dies again XD
Also, if you have not tried, play the game with high Shivers. Take Visual calculator as secondary. Then walk the streets and see the past, present and future! Also save spam to kick a racist in the face, I once got lucky and got a crit on a first try on really small physical instrument skill, guess my actual will to kick him translated to the game XD
The game changes everyone I think, it makes you feel warm and then hits you over the head with a club like a baby seal. It made me not trust people! Also to take mushrooms so I can do a shivers build irl XD
All kidding aside, this talk kind of hyped me up, it's time to replay the game again. It is nice to remember some of the fan parts of working that job as well. Thanks man!
I've seen a few, but they were either modern 'shock ' films ie. Nightwatch/
Daywatch, Serbian film etc or old artistic films like Solaris or Battleship Potemkin.
To be candid, my interest in Slavic art stems from a relationship with a Ukrainian girl and my inability to connect with her on a soulful level.
She once told me that smiling made me look like I was 'mentally deficient'.
Since then, I've wondered how the slavic mind works.
In the 'West', we easily judge reality through ideology.for you guys, ex Soviet, post-glasnost etc, ideology must seem absurd.
I dont wish to suck at your brain, so I will leave you in peace.
But I feel good about connecting and talking to you, whoever you are. And I will think about your words and treat them with reverence.
Just know that, in our small communication, I felt a feeling of value, of talking to a person.
I wish you well, I hope you keep doing things that send a wave around the world.
When all this money grabbing industry shit eats itself, it is the likes of you who will be remembered. Take it easy, stranger
Been playing games since the mid 80's, but this has been the best story I encountered in all my time of gaming. That said I don't know, if I'll ever play it again, because the end I got was so perfect and poetic. It was my personal story and I'm not sure, I'm willing to change it, to see how it could had played out different.
One thing I didn't like is if you internalize (AKA, "save" an idea) then the game treats it like everyone knows. I internalized things because I wanted to learn more about it or have that idea for a later interaction. And yes, I know what internalize means. I just wish they had another decision whether to go with it or not and that no one actually knows what you picked unless you tell them
I find your tone and cadence very soothing. I replay these while I animate to keep me sane. Go figure :D
Finally bought this on the strength of your review, and boy, what a treat. This is the first thing that's come close to scratching the narrative roleplaying itch I got from the original Sunless Sea. Just a beautifully bold vision that makes you realize other worlds are possible.
I think poor autosave is a legitimate complaint. If a gamer is used to games that save all the time, 2 hours between saves can be a nasty surprise. Maybe a loading screen should remind the player to save lots?
Imma have to get my longest YE BOI ever out before I watch this, gimme a sec Grim Daddy
Best game ever! The opening sequence stumbling downstairs and the conversations with the manager had me in tears with laughter. Enjoyed the dark parts as well, overall the whole experience was revelatory.
Divinity Original Sin's use of a narrator makes me tentatively hopeful for how a fully voices Disco Elysium could be
I come, from the future, they did a really fuckin good job with the narratior voice acting. It sounds and feels amazing.
Thank you for reviewing my favourite game. I only played the re-voiced edition and found no faults. Also Felix from Chapo is a... um, somewhat grating voice presence, as he himself admits, so definitely an improvement. Bravo!
VOCAL presence fuck! I fucked it up! I meant vocal. GOD DAMn IT
We appreciate you, all we need is YOU!
This video was so good it didn't even feel like an hour long.
HARDCORE TO THE MEGA
I finally played this game, it's true that it's a long game and requires you to engage with its characters and ideas, so is not something you can pickup on a whim and play through it in a couple of days. But that's to be celebrated, and I understand that some people won't like the ideas or simply the amount of reading to be done, but the fact that they're not willing to engage with the ideas or the amount of reading already tells me a lot about who they are.
I've personally never felt so many emotions while playing a game, it has been a journey and a much more memorable experience than 99 % of what I've played.
Great review.
ONE minute ago?! One of few videos I'll have to skip spoilers on, however much I like hearing about the stories.
I had to do the same for this game, totally worth it
It’s Friday, I just finished working outside for the last 10 hours in -15 weather and Grim just dropped a new video...
Hell yeah.
Not every game is for everyone, I get that. I also don't hardly ever comment on anything, much less read other people's comments. I think we should all keep that shit to ourselves far more often, or like, talk to actual people you know about it. I say all this to say, what the actual fuck. Who doesn't like this game!? It's... Nearly perfect.
Whatever, I loved it and appreciate your review. I had a brand new experience watching this review that I've never had, which was getting so angry at bad reviews that I had to smoke a cigarette to finish the video. Hahaha so thanks for that.
Keep up the good work. You're hilarious.
the shipping harbor theme really sounds like something from fallout, when the more rhythmic parts come in the fallout vibes come on strong. sadly, i think the weakest part of the soundtrack is the anodic dance music, i think it would have benefitted if they took in an actual techno producer for that (someone who does old-school, lo-fi hipster shit, considering this is to be the real beginning of this universe's version of techno), especially considering how important that theme is an actual in-game song.
i don't know what you're on about regarding disco not existing within elysium if you mean within the world. if you mean within the game i get you.
Maybe it's time to drop the bitter recompense segment. It's starting to get depressing.
Hi, just wanted to chime in and say as someone who actually doesn't enjoy reading books (if I say I've read something it means I listened to it via audiobook) I really enjoyed the final cut of disco elysium. I can't think of any instance where someone didn't sound like a perfect fit for the person they were playing.
I have never been more hyped than I am to watch this video
Game is good. Game is, good.
This game entered me and made a permanent home for itself deep within my soul.
Mad respect for your opinions on the Sikth catelogue: not a fan of the 2017 album but the first two albums (and the Kickstarted EP!) hold up :) Fun fact: Justin Hill, their ex-vocalist produced our first album, and our new single, which we should be releasing soon :) cheers for the video reviews dude!
No truce with the furies was the perfect working title because it encapsulates the feeling of never being able to turn off all the voices in your head
I really wonder what you would think of music in "else Heart.Break()". That game has a visual style that looks like covers of El Huervo's albums. A lot of it is "party music", so I'm not sure that the entirety of the OST will be to your liking, but it is good.
As someone just barely learning about Isometric CRPGs, I thank you for this review.
Edit: I've been skipping over the spoiler bit. A night or so ago, I finally beat the game. Time to watch the full thing.
Might I recommend NeverKnowsBest if you want to watch somebody talk about CRPGs
Might I recommend Chris Davis if you want to watch somebody talk about CRPGs
@@admiraltonydawning3847 also a good youtuber
I bought this game on a whim when I saw it on sale and I just happened to be bored with the games I was playing at the time, and this is by far the best 15 dollar's I've spent in gaming terms. I was pleasantly surprised, especially because I've never played a crpg before this, holy damn this game is great
Re: the reviewer that complained about saves...
I don't understand people that say "we've been trained to not save often" when talking about games that.... require you to save often. Am I alone in never having been "trained out" of this? I still save.... CONSTANTLY. I was playing a game called Nanotale recently (wonderful game btw) and there is no manual save and it drove me nuts because I kept stopping trying to save before key moments. I do this... in every game... where the ability to save isn't restricted to when your character falls asleep. I still have that built in paranoia that if I don't save often and have multiple saves going on that I will hit a point where I want to redo something I did and be unable to because I don't have a save close to that choice. That my game will crash and I will have to go back 3 hours in my playthrough because I didn't save recently. So I will never.... understand complaints about infrequent autosaves because I never stopped saving constantly.
No truce with the furies is the only thing holding me back from a truce with the furries.
You make incredibly good content! I look forward to watching your videos and getting a chance to play Disco Elysium.
Just played the game, almost definitely the best game I've ever played. I'm in love it with it and might go read the translation of the book.
The goth king has delivered
Thank you grimble, I saw this game for sale on steam and had been hearing good things about it and wasn't quite sure if I should get it. Very excited to see the whole video, thanks for your great work!
I bought his novel in Estonian because there is no translation yet. I am reading it with the help of a dictionary.
is it interesting?
@@shatenew6380 Takes like five minutes per page and it arrived yesterday, I'm not very far.
I laughed so many times at the possible replies.
Grim, did you play the final cut? If not please do! I tremendously enjoyed Lenval Brown's narration of our thoughts.
Comments.
I'll be passing your channel along for friends to see. It's just precious.
Those reviews are Dunning-Kruger in full effect lmao.
This is my comfort media 😂 I love it
Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
My two favourite things. Together.
Holy shit, an hour. Guess I'm not going to bed yet.
Grim, is the track that plays on the Bitter Recompense section a remix of CHROME GOD by WEEB? I MUST KNOW THIS

I'm surprised someone with your tastes didn't mention the references to Einsturzende Neubauten ;^)
31:11 That's a cool werewolf action figure hanging on your wall
:)
I know this question is a year late. but... the Supernatural episode that made you cry: was one of them the one where Dean gets a quiet life? With fucking SIMPLE MAN playing over it? God damn, my throat is tight even now.
I have never been so happy to see you review this game. I love it!
Great video Grim!
I just finished it for the first time, I gotta say this is a gem and I'm glad I found your video and played this, I weirdly felt like I could relate to Harry a lot
One of the best videos I have had the privilege of gobbling down in a good little while. Just about to play the game first time and you have given me confidence to ease into these freaky ass psychedelic waters. Chur mate.
Circumlocutory is a word only used by the circumlocutory
Mostly doing this to bump the engagement but I honestly love your content and spent last weekend watching your entire library. Keep up the good work man.
Im kinda mad at myself for not finding this channel sooner but at least im here now
