With how powerful smartphones are you can probably just port the game wholesale to phones and have people play horizontally with the afermentioned UI tweaks in the video (swipe for dialogue options).
I have to admit I didn’t finish my copy of disco Elysium because I got stuck at a skill check (I hate skill check mechanics) and didn’t know what to do (I watched a play through instead) so a more streamlined disco Elysium appeals more to me personally than the detective CRPG that I never really grew up playing. DE as a visual novel sounds better IMO.
putting my initial skepticism (and to be honest anger) aside, the best i can say about it is it isn’t half assed or made for a cheap cash grab. if you haven’t played the original and can’t play it now it’s certainly worth your time (because the thing it’s based on is a masterpiece) but i would say “reified” is a good description of it.
i can’t still figure out who is this game for. since the port appears to keep the original dialogues and scenes intact, i don’t see how it could be suitable to a casual audience or people that prefer short form content. you can’t just talk to joyce about the pale in 5 minute chunks waiting in line while in between you’re also yelling at people on twitter that no over the counter cold medicine doesn’t make people grow an extra testicle.
And…which otc cold medicine causes supernumerary testicle growth?
Asking for a friend.
none of them. i tried everything and i still have the original amount of balls i had to begin with. that’s why i keep arguing with people that it’s not possible.
