Slava Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Finally. From what I've heard, seen, and read, this game is phenomenal. A deep, smart, and well written RPG. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the OP refers to Game Awards 2019 where Disco Elysium won the Fresh Indie Game Award. Helen Hindpere, the writer on the game, mentioned during the acceptance speech that the work of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels who co-wrote The Communist Manifesto provided them with the political education. The OP therefore thinks the game developers are "literal communists". EDIT: Forgot to mention that I'm stoked for the game myself and will definitely pick it up.

Popular Post StraightVege Posted December 11, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 11, 2020 Haha, I fully expected Red Scare comments in any discussion of this game on PSNP. The game's exploration of the subject is actually highly nuanced, and not nearly as simple as "COMMUNISM ALWAYS GOOD!" It's not typically the kind of game I would play at all, but Noah Gervais' excellent critique really piqued my interest: May have to pick this up sometime. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even mention the game, I'm talking about how the developers thanked Repin, Vladimir Mayakovsky, Viktor Tsoy, Marx and Engels in their awards acceptance speech. They also posted a picture of their studio and have a portrait of Stalin on the wall. So yeah, it's pretty clear what their political affiliation is. 4 minutes ago, Doucet-182 said: Aren't you active in every single censorship thread lmao? And me deciding not to buy a game is related to this how exactly? They can believe whatever whacky ideas they want, it doesn't mean I have to support them.

punkshepherd Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 (edited) I don't care about a dev's politics and/or fetishes, whatever. I do care about playing this wonderful game though.

cckerberos Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 10 hours ago, talespagni said: Thanks for the reply, much appreciated. Yes, this sound lame, to say the least. These "caviar leftists" (as they say here in my country) think they are part of a revolution, when in truth they are just a pawn in a cultural war. And this is coming from someone who, like you, indeed plans to buy the game, as it looks amazing and enjoyable. Cheers. The writer is Estonian and the politics of the game are heavily influenced by the legacy of the Soviet Union. So I wouldn't be so quick to apply the political sensibilities of the West to the game's creators. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darling Baphomet Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Huh, I didn't have very much interest in this game (because I know very little about it), but communist influence is a definite plus! I'll have to look into it more. There are very few games with genuine leftist commentary to make. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czajnikus Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I still don't understand why people think that "nazi influence" is something shamefull, but "communist influence" is something fun.. Communists killed more people and that sick ideology existed far longer than 3rd Reich. I will pray that people like Darling Baphomet will someday fulfill their dream to live under the red star and that they will finally understood how much their actions/words hurt people like me, whose familly bleed becouse of communists. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is a difference, when it comes to influence on media. The harm communism has caused around the world it due to the subversion, distortion and bastardisation of communist ideals - a truly terrible thing, of course - but where it has wrought terrible consequences has been where hypocritical people and governments have warped the core ideals into something terrible. There is still a noble ideal at the core of the theory. It's the implementation that turns it evil. Nazi-ism, on the other hand, is evil by design. It has no noble basis. It is not turned evil by warping it - it is evil from the start. Nazi-ism is rooted in hatred, xenophobia and white supremacy. Communism just has those things attached to it by evil men. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slava Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 (edited) What is this thread turning into lol. I can almost see the "but it wasn't true communism" memes coming. Why are people focusing on the communist influence so much anyway? As far as I know, communism is like one of the paths you can take in some in-game conversations. Just google something like "Disco Elysium politics" and you'll find out that "Disco Elysium has a robust alignment system, tracking your cop's alignment across four ideologies of the world: Communism, fascism, moralism and ultraliberalism." So you can be anywhere on the political compass and enjoy the depth of the dialogue in the game. In fact, many people I follow on Twitter praised this game, and not a single one of them shares communist ideas. Haven't heard any of them say that the developers used this game to push one ideology. I guess I'll understand if somebody wants to skip the game because they're allergic to communism to the point where they can't stand it even being mentioned. Like, if your grandparents died in a gulag camps or something. Otherwise, give this game a chance. It's very rare that I see a smaller game like this be praised this much. edit: would be cool to hear the opinions of people who already played this game on PC here.
