Message: [QUOTE="Nasty, post: 235649, member: 6642"] I'm one of those people that can't rightly decide cause they have many many favorites but I've never said no to a Hideo Kojima game. Having said that, I was constantly blown away by the sheer depth and the amount of soul and care they'd put into Disco Elysium when I played it first. Then they added the voice-acting to the re-release and I think that's one of the best video games ever made. Right at the end when the phasmid talks to Harry? That's peak video games right there! One of the few examples of a video game that transcends the medium not because some fanboys on the internet say so but because it invokes some of the most powerful human emotions while touching on relevant political, socioeconomic, moral and philosophical issues without ever losing its charm, falling apart narratively or passing judgment on people on either side of the spectrum. It aims to cut through the persona and address the person behind it directly and honestly I think it succeeds at doing exactly that. It took me a few playthroughs to finally understand what the game's name is/comes from and once that clicked, it was automatically my most favorite game of all time. It's a great shame what they did to the studio and the people that had put years of their lives in cultivating and shaping what eventually became Disco. Truly a story worth delving into (the drama surrounding ZA/UM post-DE) but perhaps that's a topic for another time. [/QUOTE]
