Hello everyone and welcome to another Gaming Sunday. Hope all my fellow Americans enjoy their long weekend. Anyway I have been playing a lot of Fallout 4 on survival difficulty. As usual, my desire to continue the main story dies the moment I enter the Institute, so I have started the DLCs instead
I am on day two of disco elysium which I just started for the first time (no spoilers!). I’m enjoying it enough, I’m guessing it’s such a hit with people here because of the vibe and the ability to be a communist? It definitely has some good writing that hits home or makes me laugh. But as a “game” it hasn’t blown me away. Walking around the same 3 streets and doing dialogue trees and skill checks isn’t the most exciting or engaging gameplay, the fact that the dialogue is good is what is carrying it so far.
But as I said I’m only like halfway through the second day, I assume it’ll open up more. I just uncovered that there’s a deeper mystery to the initial inciting murder. Keen to see where it goes. And I’m definitely not not enjoying it. I’m just waiting for it to blow me away.
But yeh all the existential dread and depression and substance abuse, very cool very vibe.
Things open up a lot on day three after the canal bridge gets repaired. In my play-throughs, I have found that I run out of things to do on day 2. This has lead to me quitting a bunch of times. If you truly run out of ideas of things to do, buy a book and just read it over and over again to pass time. There are a lot more areas to explore and people to talk to on the other side of that bridge. More plot elements also get set into motion.
Sweet, I figured something like that would happen. I found the bridge not long ago
