Is Disco Elysium the first truly unfilmable story? How would you do the personality monologues?

Welcome to Revachol
[thing] for people too stupid to read novels
We already have those.
It’s a video game adaptation of a novel so I’m sure you could do a movie
pay me and I'll talk
It’s a video game adaptation
Where's the gameplay?
It's not an adaptation. They setting is something the writers wrote a novel and a lot of short fiction in and played some kind of tabletop campaign with. But the story and characters and everything but the broad details of the setting were original to the game.
You role play. Have you never played a RPG before kek
The gameplay is similar to point and click adventure games like Monkey Island or Planescape Torment.
People really just shut down if a game has no combat, huh?
You need to have a joystick and a jump button for it to qualify as gameplay to nintoddlers. Their eceleb manchild god dunkey has decreed that the latest Mario platformer for 8 year olds is superior to the most kino game of the past 20 years.
Fucking racist bastard
Cast him
If you didn’t do Cop of the Apocalypse you played the game wrong.
I think it would be cool as a shifting narrative story, with different actors playing the same role to create a fuzzy effect, like the Omaha
there is no gameplay besides verbal interactions that are boiled to only giving an A, B, C, or D answer the whole time. It's like half the game of fallout but woman and pseuds love it.
communists managed to combine a visual novel with a walking sim
Hellish.
You are incorrect that both there is no inventory/puzzle portion, like every adventure game, and incorrect that the diolog I adventuring isn’t deep enough to qua as gameplay
meh, I think there's a few ways you could do it. it could pretty easily be turned into a straight detective story, which wouldn't be a great adaptation and would lose a lot of its soul, but the narrative could be kept mostly intact.
or you could learn heavily into the psychological aspect, and make a surreal, or dare I say, Lynchian, movie, that might have to shed some of the narrative but maintain more of the soul or essence of it.
there are definitely stories I think would be harder to adapt. I don't really think a DE adaptation would be good, but it could be done.
Isn't this game reddit as fuck?

the first truly unfilmable story
No, there are lots of unfilmable stories. Why would you think a video game from 5 years ago would be the first? Are you stupid?
You fell for the Anon Babble spam lmfao. The game is incredible and definitely not reddit. My favorite game of the last 10 years
Yes
How would you film it Mr smart guy
Yeah. It was made by Marxists.
Yes, it's for woman and pseud fags.
Gameplay is capitalist dogwhistle.
Nice reading comprehension dipshit
best answer I can give you is 'kinda...sorta...mostly'
its politics are definitely reddit, but it's still possible to hold your nose and roll your eyes and enjoy it
you go for a certain camera angle and only show his head. the background is black or blurred by an effect to show that time stands still. you keep the head dead center and have the personalities float as different coloured spectres around him with decent voice actors. or even better have the actor himself voice the lines. not for every line choice of course, but for pivotal moments.
The arguments between Venom and Tom Hardy are the best part of those movies. Never seen Inside out, but I gather it has a similar setup of internal personalities, so "Inside out for damaged grownups" could be another approach to it.
yes and no. you can be a gay Marxist commie. but, you can also be a mega-racist fascist, and it's just as valid of an option and doesn't penalize you at all for it. the game definitely leans to the left politically, but it's also very critical of the left. it's kind of paradoxical that way. I would say that it transcends the internet culture war and is just a good, nuanced piece of writing, but if you're the type of person who flies off the handle at any slightly positive portrayal of leftist, then, you will probably think it's reddit, yeah.
I like this. I wish lynch was still alive
It's not unfilmable at all, especially if you cut out the hundreds of monologues that have no zero bearing on the story. It's not even a particularly unique or interesting story in the first place.
The "criticism" of the left is mostly lamenting the fact that the commies lost
It's not even a particularly unique or interesting story in the first place
Uh-huh. How come hundreds of studios tried to copy it and failed miserably? It’s a billion dollar IP
gay Marxist commie. but, you can also be a mega-racist fascist,
stopped reading there plebbitor
eh, it's a bit more than that I'd say. the old commie at the end is shown to be a relic clinging to dead ideals and unable to see the path forward even when it's staring him in the face. and, the game is probably most critical of all of the centrist, liberal-globalist position.
yeah, it's okay, I think your brain is probably too rotted by Internet culture wars to get anything out of this game.
How come hundreds of studios tried to copy it and failed miserably?
Which hundreds of studios? Name thirty of them.
Plus the industry is full of people that think 'X is popular, copy X and it will also be popular'. Doesn't mean the thing they're copying is anything of great value. In terms of story, Disco Elysium is definitely nothing special.
I've played the game and stopped because it was boring and I'm not a pseud faggot or women, which is the audience it was made for.
But sure, keep proving you are the pseud plebbitor you really are.
Episodic series. Any time Harry fails a stat check, it show the bad outcome, then re-rolls back to the original scene and Harry says/does something else.
yea most video games suck at stories which is why video games get exposed when turned into films just like films get exposed when adapted from books
i think for the US it is mostly an unusual perspective. The people who created it saw communism crumble around them and sudden capitalism and integration into the west change everything around them. They have a different relationship to both communism and capitalism than people who have only lived in the west and for whom communism is a boogeyman in a che guevara shirt.
you can reuse the Bandersnatch setup Netflix used.
Everyone and their momma has tried to clone DE
1 kickstarter knock off
Okay. I don't doubt there's imitators, anything popular will have imitators but this hardly seems indicative of hundreds of studios trying to copy it and failing.
The game constantly rags on commies for being miserable losers who will never accomplish real communism and whenever they do try thousands of people get killed. Every communist in the game is a raging hypocrite, the most traditional communist is a schizo incel, and the two students who really understand it are stuck daydreaming about a utopia that will never arrive.
There are hundreds
this is the gameplay
You don't know what a point and click adventure is, do you? Planescape is not a point and click adventure, it's an isometric RPG. Yes, you click on things, but there is combat, and stats.
You really should play Planescape. It's what DE would've been if it wasn't made by mentally ill commies who want to kill themselves, and it's a thousand times better. I know anything more than 5 years old makes you break out in hives, but you should really push through it, and try and take a few steps out of Plato's cave of idiocy.
If you lived through communism and are nostalgic about it then you're a piece of shit loser.
The combat in Planescape is so bad they should have dropped it completely.
It’s optional, I think pst only has 3 mobs you have to “kill” or disable
make everyone a nigger and or a woman like all adaptations
THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THEM
n-no, it makes fun of EVERYONE!
The game is openly communist and made by communists. A few light jabs don't change the fact the whole game is a trojan horse, the goal is to make you read the author's awful manifesto level propaganda.
DE is the anti-LOTR. It's a work made by incredibly vile people who cannot imagine anyone being happy, and want to paint a picture of a disgusting world about meaningless politically framed conflict.
Hi Zoë, are you getting all pumped up about this because you are making a Depression Quest sequel or something?
HopeTown is made by a billionaire grifter who bots for engagement and deletes all negative comments.
If you replay it, but you'll run into more combat on the first playthrough.
unc going on about gamergate ELEVEN (11) years later
You want to keep praising the type of lazy nongame that kick started gamergate, you should expect the reference to pop up, Zoë.
its the same mouth breathing plebbitor
get the fuck out of here op, don't be a retard. this could easily be film able compared to tons of other material, neverminding that it would never be any good
How would you film any psyche check?
It is beyond Reddit. It makes Ricken Morty look like Triumph of the Will.

Babytalk.
this fan base has by far the most obnoxious fanbase of any piece of media I have ever witnessed
That’s because you’re a poltard dog. You chase whatever car is in front of you. If I dangle The Last Jedi in front of your face, you will bark that the Star Wars fanbase is the most cancerous.
cast HIM
a lot of these people were young in the 80s, your youth is always nostalgic. and obviously there are many experiences you can have in communism, even, shockingly, good ones.
yes, it's overhyped mediocre trash. even "mediocre" is giving it too much credit
No, look at the thread, people still resent gamergate, you leftypol fags just don't platform or address older grievance because its not the current thing.
it's fine, you don't have to like it.
