PS4 Disco Elysium review

dialogue: 11/10
Story: 9/10
Controls: 2/10
Loading times: too damn long

So is it alright? Most reviews have raved off it, what's wrong with the control system? Been looking forwards to this as a few mates have it on PC and say its genius

Nothing wrong with the controls in fact it's easier with a controller. The fun is in the storytelling, it's not an action game. Lot's of reading.

That’s good to know. I’m grateful for all the advice here, I know next to nothing but I’m enjoying learning a bit here and there, and slowly understanding it. This is exactly the info I need as I don’t want to give myself compatibility issues later down the line. I’d like to think I could get a good PC and spend £300 ish every 3 years upgrading a part. Maybe it’s more than that but that’s the idea. Most people seem to rate AMD over Intel chips but besides raw speed (which shows many Intel chips as on par) it’s difficult for me to understand why without someone simplifying it. Plus I’d rather spend an extra £100 now if it’ll save me £200-300 later on.


I thought this, but I used to be a bit of a tech nerd when I was younger and I can feel it coming back a bit. I’d consider building my own PC if the part prices made it viable. With the prices at the moment though it makes no sense.

Intel don't even have raw speed anymore, the Ryzen 5000 line is the fastest at gaming and the fastest at productivity.

If you do choose AMD, i'd recommend a B550 motherboard, for that future proofing security.

How come he rated the controls so bad then? I'm a ps4 user myself....

oh its still really really good. Game does player choice better than any story/visual novel game I've ever played. The whole game is voice acted, extremely well, and that must have been a massive achievement given the amount of dialogue.

thankfully b/c the style of the game the controls don't hurt so much, they are just frustrating, especially in the thought menus. So its not a gamebreaker. Game needed a tutorial for the 1st, 2 hrs. The loading times are pretty terrible tho as they take a good 30-60 sec to load with each room/area you enter (you enter just a small store and it takes forever to load, ugh).

text size is too small in menus, but noting awful.

PS5 is supposed to be buggy but they are patching that and I'm guessing the loading times are better so I'd prob wait a month.

If console might be better w/ the X-bone as its more windows based.

Really? With Square being behind it I thought they would be pretty good. This one looks pretty good like. Will hold off for reviews from trusted sources before getting it, mind

I played SF for PS1, I lasted like 10-15 hours. it was very boring and didn't know what to do. Granted w/ the remake it might be more user friendly. there is like 8 stories that really didn't seem connected. I never played Octopath traveller but from what I read Octopath might be a much better version of saga like story telling.

I'd try a demo 1st. Saga games aren't for everyone.

Woah there now Phil. Prove me wrong rather than resorting to insults!

Apologies, but your post did not deserve/come close to needing disproving...

 

[Dylan]

Just so mad that the same team who hit every tiny detail in The Witcher 3 were happy enough to release Cyberpunk in the state it was in at launch.

They weren't.... It was a board/financial desicion to release when they did.

@Baines' left foot had a great response. You just didn't understand the post, no biggie.

And? That's nice for him. What's to understand? The post was dumb. Deal with it and move on.

Bed time for you Phil mate. You don't get it, its cool. Maybe bin off the 'net for a while. Take some Phil time.

What's to get? The exact level of dumbitude? Stop making excuses and deflecting and just accept that your post was extremely dumb mate. This whole act your putting on is pretty embarrassing. Just accept it and move on. We all make dumb posts sometimes, it's ok, no-one will think any less of you

Swerving the debate again I see. Are opinions on PC v Console not allowed? Genuinly interested on what makes PC better, coz I actually don’t know.

But please, keep the personal attacks out of it, or just don’t respond if you can’t answer.

Your point made literally no sense though and then you swerved responding to both mine and Tubeys posts pointing out why it’s such a illogical opinion

If they somehow manage to pull this game off... wow.

looks pretty but also seems very generic with average looking gun mechanics, the trailer being scripted doesn't exactly fill me with confidence either.
