>>1357245 The mental breakdowns are a secondary health bar, you need a high volition or healing items to prevent it. Losing volition on its own isn't game ending, and you'd have to be playing like shit to let it happen enough to game over.

>>1357389 I was referring to the spoiler

>>1357407 Yeah some people say that's a cop out, but I also can't see any way for the game to logically continue at that point. It would be interesting if the game at least continued for a scene beyond that before getting the game over.

>>1148336 When I played this game, I sent the body to the morgue, met two random punks and got one of their jacket that says "PISSFAGGOT" on the back, and was trying to contact some government blimp (?) with help of a programmer woman and crackhead kids, then I just lost interest in the game and quit playing it. How far was I in the story? First 30% or so, maybe?

>>1353617 >confusingly called ultraliberalism Ultraliberalism is a French term to describe abusive laissez faire politics. Libertarianism is an American movement with distinctly American roots. Checks out with Revachol being a stand in for post-war France. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultralib%C3%A9ralisme >treated even more like a cartoon It is a cartoonish ideology in real life as well, lol.

>>1357545 Sounds like you were doing one of the side quests based on your character's political ideology Hard to say without knowing who you did or did not talk to, but you were probably closer to 60/70% through

>>1357458 I think it's more that Kim arrests you for doing that That or Harry wouldn't be able to make it out of Martinese without the Hardy boys trying to kill him Even if it did continue, there is no way characters would wanna talk to you or Kim to wanna stay as your companion

>>1358638 That's exactly what I meant, he'd arrest you on the spot, but mainly I'm curious what his response would actually be. Kim knows Harry is unstable but he still thinks of him a a good detective.

>>1358708 He'd probably call Harry a maniac and he's feel stupid for ever giving him the benefit of the doubt that he's be fit to take this case He may of seen harry as a good detective but he'd see him a horrible person

>>1353723 Don't know how Estonians can be pro commie seeing as the soviets were killing them up until the 11th hour, but retardation is universal, I guess.

>>1148336 Bumping for this one. Having a blast. I did fucked up in the first playtrought, gotta try to make a build centered mostly on physical and motorics next. It's a shame that we will not get a sequel with Cuno, and the spin off looked lame, i want more hardboiled detective stuff. >>1148511 Thanks for the bump, disingenuous individual!

>>1936766 Absolutely tragic how hard the studio flamed out. If you want more, there's a translation of the book it's based on, written by Kurvitz. Some of what Shivers says in the game is related to this book

>>1153489 I honestly look at this game story in a metaphysical light rather than a political one. Politics are just a part of it, but in the greater level of things, it's mostly about a man regaining his own sense of self worth and redeeming himself, breaking free from the walls of his own mind by pure power of will. The amazing Metro 2033 style world and the dream like nature of it, along with the surrealistically violent art is the icing on the cake. Is an honest to god great detective story, and one the greatest narratives from the 21th century. >>1936785 Thanks man, i was aware of it, i have it in my backlog for later. "The City & The City" by China Melville as well.

>>1936794 Here is another one, the first ever bit of Elysium: FULL CORE STATE NIHILIST. It's a short story published about a year before Terrible Air. This one is very obscure, I haven't heard much about it from anybody. The title is fantastic, this is what they should have called the game.

>>1936810 Holy shit, now i didn't knew about THIS ONE. Thanks anon!

>>1936844 You're welcome! It's a little juvenile but interesting. There's some lore about Yekokataa in there, the most ever described about the place. >"In Graad — Yekokataa — acid rain eats up to ten centimeters of concrete per year. People wear rubber coats and rubber masks, and if they don’t, they still look rubbery — their hair comes all off and their skin becomes as if melted. At first it will turn red and get itchy, but you can buy a salve against this — sort of like the bozer salve that gets rid of black eyes. This is from Miro’s address to the people ‘The seven modern wonders of the world’. Aluminum-based paints would make the concrete last longer, but it is cheaper just to keep making new ones,” Hulio says jadedly.

>>1936766 >disingenuous Nope.

>>1148869 Those commies lived better than the modern wageslave

>>1937316 Corpos being terrible doesn't make commies any better.

>>1937316 thats just plain wrong, the peasant slaves barely got by while they were bled dry by (((the party)))

>>1937348 Sounds exactly like the current global average standard of living under hyper consumerism.

I can't believe this thread got necrobumped.

>commie walking sim thread >got made after cuckchan went down Why am I not surprised

Estonia deserves a russian invasion only for this game

>>1938113 So a russian would handshake the developer, right?

>>1353763 I just say it sucks cock or that i'l fuck it in the ass for fucking my brain [in the ass] and it stops talking for a while until it starts talking about merchandise and trading again until i imagine pissing and shitting down its throat very pervertedly so it shuts up again.

>>1938185 Thanks Half Light, very cool remarks.

>>1937996 If that were the case youd be busy starving on govt mandated rationing instead of complaining about it on THE INTERNET, its crazy how you fags idealize communism but do not dare to step into eastern europe and see its consequences for yourself

>>1938179 Well yes technically.

>>1938246 Do you realize that your fancy yuropean or murican standard of living is sustained entirely on degenerate exploitation of poor fucks far away? Do you actually believe that McDonald's and office jobs produce the actual stuff that keeps everything running?

Discussing jewish daycare economy is on topic, as Disco Elysium is heavily politized gemu btw

>>1938246 These kinds of people are all playing games and are self aware that they are lying their asses off, it's just another flavor of people playing different scams combined with banking bullshit.

>>1938437 Unfortunately, id pay for their plane tickets straight to slave camps in caucasus and kazakhstan

>>1938424 I like my 3rd world labour like I like my women cheap, compliant and good for 30 years of lithium mining with zero protective gear.

>>1938424 >degenerate exploitation of poor fucks far away Their fault for not being white. >>1938426 No, fuck off back to where you came from. Does /leftypol/ still have their faggy bunker? That's a good place for you.
