I already made a video on Disco Elysium and played it twice, so I thought I am pretty much done with that game. Anyway, here is a 3 hour analysis of the game after my 3rd playthrough.

By the way - massive kudos for doing proper subtitles for such a long video. Way too many channels farm it out to underpaid gig-work places that have a ton of basic errors, if they even bother at all. I know it's a lot of work so rest assured it doesn't go unappreciated!

@ethantaylor9613 5 месяцев назад

Diving into what the pale truly is, is a fascinating part of the game. I always thought it was a representation of all of the information humans have ever forgotten, congealing into a pseudo physical form. That’s the reason that humans seem to be a source, and the reason it’s expansion. Weirdly enough, though, while it did strike me as unique and interesting and existential in my first play through, I regarded it in the same way one regards the fact that the Earth will get swallowed by the sun in several hundred million years. The world is always sort of ending, so it never bothered me much.

@GustavoIto 5 месяцев назад

Part of the fun is not knowing exactly how the pale is. Most importantly, consider where each explanation come from is a great insight the video brings, with the moralinterns using the fear of the pale as fear of changing the status quo

@localsnek 4 месяца назад

Personally, when I encountered the Pale, I immediately connected it to existential terror. In my eyes, it’s the looming feeling of everything being for nothing, no matter what you do. It’s something you either distract yourself from, or learn to process in a healthier way. Everyone on Earth asks whether their life will have meaning if everything is for nothing, and everyone in Elysium asks whether their life will have meaning if the Pale swallows everything.

@lexxiloveless7163 4 месяца назад

to me the pale was anxieties about the forgotten past and the unknown expanse of the future, it seems to be something that affects everyone but talk of the pale seems moreso in transient areas like revechol because of their place in limbo. it could be an expanse of secrets and wonder or it could be just nothingness. some people want to explore/cross it and others wonder if it will swallow everything into nothingness.

@AzraelSoulHunter 4 месяца назад

To me Pale is in a way The End of all things. And I feel like it creates a funny commentary that people still decide to squabble among each other about politics when the world around them is ending.

@imthedude2351 3 месяца назад

Your analogy of Dros murdering Lely to punish Klaasje to the Moralintern destroying the Commune to punish La Revacholiere to deconstruct his bullshit "The bourgeois are not human" monologue was beautiful It's worth noting that in both cases, the "Killer" used a weapon of comparatively overwhelming power from incredible distance to do the deed, an attack neither victims could have seen coming, let alone do anything to stop or defend against. With Dros, it was his breech-loading high-caliber sniper rifle; and with the Moralintern, it was the massive army of the Coalition, but especially their airships.

@ethantaylor9613 5 месяцев назад

I actually completely bypassed the hard-core church quest on my first play through lmao. I was trying to rebuild Harry’s life and the idea of dealing with a bunch of drug dealing 20 Somethings seemed like it would not be a good call. I never had any sort of psychic revelation, hell, I never even had the final dream in the bunker.

@@LastMinuteEssays Some things are ingrained in the game, you cannot omit them, for example the game forces you to reveal the information about your lost badge to Kim at the beginning. I think it's the same with Dora, you will probably just get less dialogue options, but the dream will be mostly the same. I'm curious about it as well, but played DE so many times that I'll stick to watching letsplays for the next 2 years :) My friend has just told me that if your HALF LIGHT is high enough, you can actually taste the water after you cook the mercenary's boots.

The only real way I can describe this review is “human” It focuses on the world and the people who live in it, their lives, hopes, dreams, and fears, and thus it frames this world in a way I haven’t seen done by any of the other reviews I have seen of this game.

@elisedangerous5965 5 месяцев назад

YO FINALLY someone else who thinks harry is an innocence!! i was replaying disco elysium earlier this year and came up with the same theory, it makes so much sense

@GustavoIto 5 месяцев назад

I do think of Harry as some kind of "anti-innocence": instead of willing material change that advances existence, he willed non-existence, and got hit by similar forces. That drew attention of the spirit of Revachol and gave "life" to the voices in his head

@PotionSmeller 4 месяца назад

I choose to believe that Harry has the potential to be an Innocence, and that he can exert enough change on the world to prevent the events in the book. The latter part is mostly cope though.

Year ago, after finishing my fifth playthrough, i would sit there in front of my tv digesting all the dialogs all the tidbits i would find in the internet about pale, the end, "girl child revolution" geting closer to the conclusion only to fail miserably time and time again, losing hope for any closure due to a lack of video's and essays online which would go deep and around covering all subjects in detail including the ones in a book! And suddenly, 5 years after release this video shows up in my recommendations. I watched it in one breath, its such a relief and at the time i am writing this it seems that all my questions were answered. I guess all i am trying to say is thank you.

Thank you for this video. Despite the fact that I liked the creation of ZA/UM (at least the ZA/UM that created Disco Elysium) and I understood that it was deeper than it is, although I could not fully realize and express it, and despite the fact that I went through it and returned several times, I cannot say that I have progressed to the neighboring shore after several attempts to complete the game again. But your video has revealed more deeply my understanding of the events taking place in the world of the game. But more importantly, you made me think about myself more than once (not a bad start to the year) During these almost three hours, I almost cried several times and several times found myself just staring at the monitor, no longer hearing anything, completely immersed in myself. You rekindled the idea in me to start writing something. The idea that flares up and goes out several times a day and who knows, maybe it will fade out again by the time I finish this comment. And despite the fact that several of your phrases expressed and reflected more meaning in me than I will ever be able to write in my pathetic attempts to express at least some kind of holistic thought (as I am doing now) But I will try. Not only because the very idea of expressing at least a little of my thoughts through text, in order to let them be read and give, if not temporary confidence in a better future, then at least a smile, at the same time scares me with the thought that I will not be able to express it, but excites me so much that I cannot sleep. Maybe it's because for today's me in my early twenties, the idea of creating at least something distracts me enough not to pay attention to how empty and repetitive my life is, but it doesn't distract enough to finally start doing at least something. But I'm going to try, because what can we do but try? Thanks a lot again. Disco Elysium

And Klaasje's character is influenced by the song Miss Europa Disco Dancer Great video! Helped me refresh my knowledge of the game, I don't think I've got fourth playthrough in me yet lmao.

They also wanted to name game Motorcycle Emptiness, but decided that it sounds too depressing to be marketable.

The level of brainrot (affectionate) brimming from the "I can't escape" section is just... chef's kiss. This was beautiful and vast like Harry's soul, I've watched it twice already. Thank you!

Well, I know what I'm gonna be listening at work. Man, what an escalation from 20 - 40min videos to 2 hours. Also I'm very glad to see a comprehensive look at DE since as you mentioned, it's such a rarity.

I’ve played through this game 3 times, and watched multiple video essays on it, and you still found new things to talk about and parts of the game I’d never experienced. Really great video, thank you. Subbed and really looking forward to whatever you do next.

Phenomenal analysis with some Polish lore sprinkled here and there, and I'm all here for it!

Beautiful essay! Watched it in one breath. Genuinely impressed by how fresh your analysis of one of my favourite games feels after countless "essays" talking about same mundane things about DE over and over and you going into more philosophical dimension. I really enjoyed your "story beat from character to character" progression, and your thoughts about the God, the Pale and the Air felt like you put in words what I personally couldn't connect because I couldn't find the glue to put between the pieces myself. Thank you for your work, Happy New years, and greetings from Ukraine

This is the best analysis of the game I’ve seen on RU-vid, and I’ve watched tons. Phenomenal work. I’ll be watching this repeatedly for sure.

Previously, I'd written off delving into the mechanics of the Pale as missing the forest for the trees, yet you've imbued me with an appreciation for the deeper dive and its overall significance for the message of the game. That, and this video contains the best analysis of the Moralintern's nature and the nature of Dolores Dei of herself by shedding light on the mirroring of Harry's personal failings and feelings; of fear of love lost, misplaced in people you'd thought to be something they weren't.
