Disco Elysiym is the best time I've had with the game in a long time. I thought it was just me who stopped enjoying videogames. This one brought hope into my life again. If any of the developers read this, I thank you very much!
Really glad I'm not the only one who felt that they didn't like they liked videogames anymore until they played Disco Elysium. I could easily say this has become my all time favorite videogame.
I bought the game when I was in total depression after 1 year of constant bad lucks, poor choices, relationship ending, losing my whole family on one side... I knew this game was god sent 25 seconds into the intro (before you wake up.. this dialogue is just.. damn I would call it art to be honest.. I could litteraly feel like i was concerned). it such a underated gem.. came into it wanting to die, ended it smiling at how unique and deep this game was on so many levels.. It also made me stop speed after breaking down during the scene where Hary ex wife basicaly tell him he was/is a mess of a men.. true story. so I gotta thanks them too
1st time listening: - Hah, cute music these kids got! 10th time: - God, this shit is SO annoying! 100th time: - YEAAAAH! HAAAAAAARDCOOORE! SKIBADI-SKIBADANGER! I AM THE REARRANGER!
I did the dance directly after the Mercenary Tribunal and Kim even commented on how the hell I was moving like that even with my injuries. I took my hands off the mouse & keyboard and just sat with the scene for 5 whole minutes. And then somehow it got more insane
This was the biggest "we're all dying so let's just do drugs and disco" moment of the game. The church turned rave is one of my favourite scenarios from videogame history.
Still say nothing (True, hard, full core!) Say nothing (hardcore to the mega) Say nothing Still say nothing (Internally coherent!) I was wondering if you knew who killed the merc hanging behind the Whirling-in-Rags? Still say nothing (All Core!) Say nothing So hard core (HAAAARDCORE) It Is! The question is, what is the question
Establishing protorave club in a church was by far one of the most epic quests I've ever done in crpg game. And that I could actually make the music more 'rave' through the game... god damn, didn't expect that and I just stopped in church to listen to it a few times. Also, pulling rank on Kim to dance.... buahaha, what a wonderful idea.
Elvira Poiters Spoilers: Having high enough shivers will tell you about the location for a tape with the guitars (tree to the right of the Lorry closest to the bridge back in Martinaise) Helping Soona record “The Swallow” creates a check you can pass to try and condense it into a listenable form, using it to add heavy bass to the track
@@nmeister007 you can also ask siileng about tapes and he'll point it out, since it's behind him Worth mentioning you have to successfully navigate eggheads conversation tree to even get the quest. I did it instinctively on the first try and never realized it was a maze until my second play through God I love this game
I like the theory that setting up the club in the church is literally holding the Pale at bay by saturating the amalgamation of past memories and nostalgia that is the Pale with this new, funky beat and hope for the future. The song even has that sad yet hopeful vibe to it - gritty and accepting of the present, yet not getting bogged down in the melancholy. The idea of using the new disco to overpower the apocalypse and push through the past is inspiring beyond words. And the fact that out of all the intelligent and righteous characters we tell about this nightclub, not a single one of them have this theory themselves, says a lot about the characters of Disco Elysium and how they can't shake their own pasts and nostalgia.
This is one of those "I cant explain it, you just have to experience it yourself" moments in gaming, explaining the questline will never convey the 28 different emotions I felt
At first I was like, "Why do I even care about these guys?" ...But then I had this... premonition of the protagonist dancing his heart out despite all the horror around him, and I thought to myself, "Wait, this must be how that happens. Ohhhh." Getting shot in the hip didn't help. It also didn't stop me.
This song carries a melancholic memory for me because of what happened when I failed the last skill check that comes up while Harry is goading Kim onto the dance floor. I literally yelled "NOOOO----!!!!" when I saw what Harry says to Kim in his dance fervour and how it nearly destroys all the comradery the two have built up until that part. And the quiet sombre conversation they have outside of the church became seared into my memory
@@RexGalilae Spoilers for those who haven’t played DE! In an attempt to pull rank and force him to dance with him whenever Harry fails the skill check he instead calls him a racial slur and it pisses Kim off.
My theory is that this song of "Van Eyck" is based on a real life rave classic called "Cherrymoon Trax: The House of House" - but this alternate universe version has no digital grooveboxes, so it sounds more like electronica pioneers like Deliah Derbyshire who could only use tape.
*RHETORIC* _[Challenging: Failure]_ - Wise learned electronica man will never tell you anything else. *SHIVERS* - Silly disco fan. *DAMAGED MORALE [-1]*
For my detective there was no dancing Kim - he was shot and almost dead. Detective in my game got drunk and danced alone. Ultimate escape from reality to the MEGA. It really gives the player different perspective on the song. Good stuff.
@@cea6770 You can do both. I did it the first time after the tribunal before I went to the island, so I danced after having been shot. It added difficulty to the dice roll to initiate the dancing and I think Kim says something about your hurt leg. Second playthrough, I finished this quest before the tribunal.
"Free from self-awareness. No deliberation, only -- and I mean *only* -- execution. ... With his reel-to-reel mixer blasting the anthem of a future that will never come, the young man observes your moves for a second... ... then blasts into the same hideous pattern, yelling: "AAAAAAHHHH!" "
this song has touched something within my soul. since I played the game I just keep coming back to this track. it send shivers down my spine and I tear up. i dunno, its just a part of me i guess.
This is the first piece of music I heard when launching the game, as I fiddled through the options and clicked "Hardcore" out of curiosity. Needless to say I instantly fell in love.
This game is like a fresh air in this shit and shit filled video game industry. Am from Estonia and make me proud our countrymen created such a beautiful game.
Just finished the game and what a great game it was, I'm saddened there won't be another game of this caliber for a while or if ever. The soundtrack was amazing, this one in particular was the highlight for me. I was in the tent/church idling and enjoying this catchy tune.
@@pawelnadstoga376 Indeed, Disco Elysium is, I think, the only game that not only tried to step into Planescape Torment's awe-inspiring shoes, but actually pulled it off... not by going through the motions, Star Wars Episode VII style, nor hoping some random similar setting will do the trick like Tides of Numenera, but by inheriting the soul and growing an awesome new body around it. Legendary.
I played 2 months ago. It's been a while since I've met a game that hits so hard as this one. For one week I just could play or think about Disco Elysium. All day long with the Whirling-In-Rags theme in my head.
Egghead is my favorite character. He seems so shallow at first sight, but there is so much more going on underneath as you dig deeper. Man this whole game is just 200% I'm f****** LOVIN it. 10hour version, when?
I was going to write a more detailed comment about how me, a really serious guy that enjoys rave music, had a very emotional moment when playing the dance scene and, by miracle, saw both checks roll 6-6es on a character that had otherwise very low stats for it. But then my exceedingly high levels of Volition told me to keep it cool and neutral. Great game, great music. Hardcore
Did you know that Egg Head is entirely based on the German Rave Band Scooter? Egg Head solely speaks in quotes from songs of them. He also sounds like Scooters frontman HP Baxxter Examples: th-cam.com/video/xwQw6_X9hPk/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/i2ep3QZQ4vM/w-d-xo.html (Here HP Baxxter even sings "Skibadee Skibadanger i am the Rearranger"
When I first heard the guitars by 4:26 in game I got chills down my spine because it was eerily familiar to me but I couldn't outright tell where it was from. Well, by the end of the storyline, I remembered it. It sounds just like the accordion (? I'm not a musician) on Arcade Fire's Neighbourhood #2 (Laika), by 0:19 there. Coincidentally, one of my favorite songs of all time.
@Christos Mandilas a bit late but like the guy above said, first you need to pass the shivers passive check after talking to Egghead about making this track more hardcor-ish that will tell you where to find mix tape (or maybe you can just go the place where it located without shivers check, I didn't test this). Then you'll need to rewrite the tape at pawn shop and take it back to Egghead. This will add the guitars. For the bass you'll need to complete women from radio-game company (forgot her name) quest line about finding 2-mm hole in the world. After doing it, ask Egghead to reroute the sound to his dynamics, listen to it and then pass some check to tell Egghead how to use the recording as a bass. And there you go, you get the hardcore-to-the-mega song.
its true its very similar, but i have never heard of this song nor band yet still recognise the sound and notes, both tracks mustve taken the melody from somethin else, maybe its indeed from a folk song or somethin, may try to investigate in free time
I felt the same thing with this. I was already a fan of sea power before playing this game so I assumed it was a remix/based on one of their older songs which is why it sounded familiar to me, but after relistening to their discography theres. Nothing that sounds similar to it. The closest I can find is the intro to their song Mongk II is VERY similar to the base version of this song and sounds like it’s an early version of it, but that’s it. It’s bugging the shit out of me lmao
when the final version came on and i finally passed the check i was so hype i had to take my shirt off and dance around my room. extremyl silly and juvenile but ive never felt that particular way with a game before, that much excitement and electiricty. amazing!!!!!!!!
To the mega! I've been video games sincethe early eighties, but this one is something else.Mask of the Betrayer was an incredible experience, but when you're mazovian, and invested into Encyclopedia enough, the desereter call you a comrade, nothing can get close to that except from those moments when you dance with Kim or when you face a death squad and your tie gets on fire.
I wish you could stay in Martinese. Drop cop bullshit. Search for cryptids. Make a move on sword lady. Hang out in church. Don't like the life I had in the past anyway. That lady from the doorbell was right. Forgetting is good.
And I enjoy the promise of an impending fight for the people our unit might prove key in, that's to come, the game has left me with. It lifts my Communard heart.
I can't remember the last time I felt so good when playing a video-game, maybe only when playing Final Fantasy VII as a young teenager. This game scratches so many of my itches: my need for deep, good literary writing that is existential and reflective in nature, good story-telling and character-development, with characters to fall in love with, beautiful art and good narrating (the voice of the narrator, wow, and also all the other good voice-actors breathe live into this game...), the political philosophy and of course the wonderful humor (man, did I laugh during different dialogues). Speaking of the characters: wouldn't anyone want a compassionate, calm and intelligent companion like Kim? The way he treats Harrier is so kind and patient. All this goes for my girlfriend too, whom also absolutely loves the game. To the developers: thanks for bringing this into my life. Are there any similar games like this? Or books that have the above mentioned features?
I would tell you to check out Sunless Sea and Sunless Skies, as well as Fallen London. It's a very different experience, but it's definitely well written.

The closest I can find is the intro to their song Mongk II is VERY similar to the base version of this song and sounds like it’s an early version of it, but that’s it. It’s bugging the shit out of me lmao
Man, that guitar riff in the second version is just godly.
when the final version came on and i finally passed the check i was so hype i had to take my shirt off and dance around my room. extremyl silly and juvenile but ive never felt that particular way with a game before, that much excitement and electiricty. amazing!!!!!!!!
Same bro I rolled a splff and danced around in my room. Not something I've ever done for a game before
Every fucking time when I hear this music I shake my head in rhythm
When u hit everything right during the dance off and experience nirvana irl
I love this game with all my heart, man.
My boy Noid providing the critical vibes
I love you! I had this stuck in my head now I can actually listen to it too. HARDCORE TO THE MEGA
the entire church quest was more nad more wonderful every second.
HARDCORE TO THE MAX!
its been more thank a year since i played this masterpiece ...still cant get over it
The third version is my personal favourite. Guitars don't distract from this godlike bass, which is amazingly fit in the stripped down version
fantastic, I don't need to look for the tent to listen to this anymore
Not the church?
Alex Souslik First the tents !
To the mega! I've been video games sincethe early eighties, but this one is something else.Mask of the Betrayer was an incredible experience, but when you're mazovian, and invested into Encyclopedia enough, the desereter call you a comrade, nothing can get close to that except from those moments when you dance with Kim or when you face a death squad and your tie gets on fire.
INTERNALLY COHERENT!!!!
I have become dance, destroyer of worlds!
THis music is like narkotic. I love it
I wish you could stay in Martinese. Drop cop bullshit. Search for cryptids. Make a move on sword lady. Hang out in church. Don't like the life I had in the past anyway.
That lady from the doorbell was right. Forgetting is good.
And I enjoy the promise of an impending fight for the people our unit might prove key in, that's to come, the game has left me with. It lifts my Communard heart.
She told me that I was the coolest, how can you forget this ?
not with that 2mm hole
That should have been an alternative ending
There are RPG games and there is Disco Elysium MASTERPIECE, HARDCORE TO THE MEGA.
Thanks for uploading this, I never heard the middle version with just bass!
When the main menu music is so good, you just leave it in loop. 😎🤘 HAAAARDCOOORE!
I fully intend to play this at every gig I DJ if only I can get my hands on an HQ file of the all together version
Can some radio computer wizard please make a mix where the tracks sync and with Egg's lyrics sparsely included?
What do you mean "Sparsely"? That doesn't sound very HARD CORE of you.
one of if not the best game i've ever played
The madmad, he actually did it.
I can't remember the last time I felt so good when playing a video-game, maybe only when playing Final Fantasy VII as a young teenager.
This game scratches so many of my itches: my need for deep, good literary writing that is existential and reflective in nature, good story-telling and character-development, with characters to fall in love with, beautiful art and good narrating (the voice of the narrator, wow, and also all the other good voice-actors breathe live into this game...), the political philosophy and of course the wonderful humor (man, did I laugh during different dialogues).
Speaking of the characters: wouldn't anyone want a compassionate, calm and intelligent companion like Kim? The way he treats Harrier is so kind and patient.
All this goes for my girlfriend too, whom also absolutely loves the game.
To the developers: thanks for bringing this into my life.
Are there any similar games like this? Or books that have the above mentioned features?
I would tell you to check out Sunless Sea and Sunless Skies, as well as Fallen London. It's a very different experience, but it's definitely well written.
now its time to go back, listen to what the people have been saying since the 90s and play planescape torment
@@gustavvaip1600 I second this
The one time my Harry ever pulled the Rank card on Kim was to make him bust a move, I'm so proud
my favorite hardcore is when egg screams it when you toggle hardcore mode on in the main menu
HAAAAAAAAAAARD COOOOOOORE
Proto rave? This is no proto anymore, is truly, fully, HARD CORE!!! YEEEEIIAAAGH!!!!
It is a legal violation not to vibe out to music this hard core in all nation-states.
HARDCORE TO THE MEGA!!
I'm still coming back here ... FOR THE B E A T !!
HARDCORE!
ITS HARDCORE!
"I think I've come up with a name...Disco Elysium."
he said the thing!
@@drain1718 Roll the credits!
in the Darkness there is only Disco so what are you waiting for? Dance until the end of time...
ХАРДКОР!
Why does this always make me cry like it pulls on a deep and primal part of my soul? I'm not even an electronica fan.
You got some SHIVERS in you. Remember, dude danced so hard to this he connected to something bigger. You gots a part of that.
INTERNALLY COHERENT
This is the video we have all been looking for.
Dance so hard you transcend into talking to city's spirit
something beautiful is gonna happen!
this really disco's my elysium
YEAH, INCREMENTAL PROGRESS!
HARD-CORE
This is HARDCORE
So HARDCORE
Is it tho?
Дякую за гарне музичне оформлення ❤
After listening to Muse albums last night I realized this song sounds exactly like "Muse - Endlessly" on x1.25 speed
Kim: "What's going on here?! Urrghh! Delinquents."
can't stop thinking about Andre's dance moves
I am so excited for VA/UM's next game
Oh well,this didn't aged well...

But what was the question?
No, that was the answer.
But there was no question...
