also check out the original tweet if you haven't, it's very funny and a complete misunderstanding of what makes disco elysium good
Cottagecore witch narrative RPG would be kinda dope, though, but very different from Disco Elysium.
i think the game described could be fun, but given the op described disco elysium as "🙄 Do we really need another grimy detective story?" and
as "👨 I'm playing as a generic middle aged white man again, urgh." i'm a little inclined to believe her game would be badI didn't realize she was a game developer - that makes it worse lol. I just assumed she was a random
.Especially with the "generic middle-aged white man" bit. Are there even many popular games where the protagonist is middle-aged? It's usually a young adult or teen protagonist. Then her proposed alternative is a pretty common, especially with games like Witchbrook and Songs of Glimmerwick coming out soon (no shade on these games, they look really cool).
The Last of Us, RDR/2, God of War, every military game, MGS
I might be misunderstanding what middle aged is. I'm thinking like 40-50 something year olds.
Last of Us, God of War, MGS4+5 -> yeah, these are some middle age dudes.
RDR 1+2 -> borderline, they can count, though
MGS 1+2+3+peacewalker -> too young to be middle aged
I don't play a lot of military shooters, but my impression is that the protagonists for those tend to be 20 somethings. That might be a misunderstanding of the genre on my part, though.
Mistah dubwaaah is white and middle aged but he is sure as fuck not generic
It was really cool when your songbird companion downed a bottle of unspecified spirits and proceeded to regale you with the stories of foreign mercenaries slaughtering her comrades-in-arms during the Uprising.
It was haunting when you were exploring the forest and found the site of a massacre of Jews and Soviet PoWs during WW2.
A twee-ass setting starring a young witch with infinitely more self-loathing than any healthy person could withstand.
no i'd play it, i just think the premise is funny. reads like "what if disco elysium but i didn't have to think about irl issues" more than anything else
