Disco Elysium Has Been Refused Classification
I was going to grab it when The Final Cut dropped later this month, but now I've grabbed it early before it gets yanked off Steam ... where it's been for the last two years.

Well hey that R rating we have that allows adults to make their own choices seems to have paid off.

It's probably because parents buy their underaged kids R rated games regardless of content because "it's just a game".

I'd been waiting for this update to buy the game. Will just get someone to gift it to me then?

Re: Disco Elysium Has Been Refused Classification
Seems like more stuff is getting banned after the R rating got up.
Re: Disco Elysium Has Been Refused Classification
It's not an R rating, didn't they just move MA15+ stuff to R and then continue to simply ban things.Peppermint Lounge wrote: ↑22 Mar 2021 03:38 pm Seems like more stuff is getting banned after the R rating got up.

Re: Disco Elysium Has Been Refused Classification
The Final Cut update is out. It was downloading when I left for work
Basic rule of thumb is anything that features drugs that give you improved stats, sexualised violence or actual/implied paedophilia is banned (but over the top non-sexual violence is now fine?)
It's the improved stats part that got We Lucky Few's initial ban overturned, because in that game drugs feature prominently but are bad mmmkay.
Not sure about that. Mortal Kombat was RC before we had an R rating , then released with an R rating when we got one.Froggy wrote: ↑22 Mar 2021 06:17 pmIt's not an R rating, didn't they just move MA15+ stuff to R and then continue to simply ban things.Peppermint Lounge wrote: ↑22 Mar 2021 03:38 pm Seems like more stuff is getting banned after the R rating got up.

Re: Disco Elysium Has Been Refused Classification
Played it briefly last night. Intriguing. Very different to the type of game I normally play.

Bought this and played about 10 minutes and it's already one of my favourite games ever.

Re: Disco Elysium Has Been Refused Classification
Only seen a couple of screens, trying to avoid footage as I'm trying to source a copy for console. Just wanted to know, since it looks like it, but does it play like the original Fallout (or was it Tactics?)?

Re: Disco Elysium Has Been Refused Classification
Planescape: Torment is the closest comparison, even the engine feels like you're playing an Infinity game

Re: Disco Elysium Has Been Refused Classification
Soooooo, a funny thing happened to me on the way to the forum. I booted up the Xbox and they have an "ID@Xbox Sleuth Sale" going on. Always down for some sleuthing and what's the first game that pops up? Disco Elysium. Apparently it released 2 months ago (US date format?) or 4 months ago (UK format?)

Final cut is almost 12 months old. Not sure what's going on there.

Re: Disco Elysium Has Been Refused Classification
Not on Xbox, was console exclusive on Playstation and a Google late last year gave no Xbox release date. Game is a lot deeper than I expected which for storywise is good but the leveling up and shit, I'm going to be well out of my depth.

Ah of course forgot about the exclusivity.
I wouldn't worry about about being out of your depth, it's pretty forgiving with skill checks and the like except for the

Re: Disco Elysium Has Been Refused Classification
Had one of those at the start with that young kid, Coco, Como, Coba or something. Weirdly enough it was instant game over from lack of morale.

Re: Disco Elysium Has Been Refused Classification
Playing this has reminded me that we haven't heard anything of the Blade Runner rerelease we were supposed to be getting.
Anyway, game is fantastic, taken me 3 days to get up to halfway through the second day. I searched for a guide to find some pointers on where to put skill points and found it interesting on one page it said something like "This walkthrough is just a guide on the main quests and even then everyone can experience a different game due to the conversations and tasks". Sounds massive.

Re: Disco Elysium Has Been Refused Classification
I just used my points on what seemed like fun to use, and I'm glad I did. I can imagine how different some of the paths would be, especially for skills I unlocked late in the game that would have been useful earlier.
