0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself sad. He is starting to suspect Kras Mazov fucked him over personally with his socio-economic theory. It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.
I had to stare at the window for an hour afterwards.
The ending of the communism vision quest might be my favorite moment in any game ever.
Seriously you should play it for yourself if you haven't.
That brief moment when all of the meloncholy of DE goes away, and a few people in a room manage to do something impossible together for a few seconds just by believing they can do it is such a beautiful way to end that subplot and injects so much hope into the Elysium universe that it's unreal.You CAN save the city. You CAN stop the expansion of The Pale. You CAN bring about The Return. All you have to do is get fucking organized!
I wanted so hard to enjoy Disco Elysium and go balls deep into it (I always loved RPGs like that) but I really couldn't enjoy it. I think I'm burned out of real gaming at this point
One of the best games I've played hands down.
