I can see why it would be good. I wasn't willing to endure more of its self indulgence to find out.
Fantastic response tbh.
It's a good game, and very unique in what it does, but it's not the objectively best written masterpiece it gets praise for.
My friend who thinks it is also thinks the same o Shakespeare, which I think explains a lot. I tend to be impressed with works that say more with fewer words rather than say little with very many. If the author could pull his head out of his own ass and get to his points, I think it would be a better game, but I suspect Disco Elysium fans would argue that that would ruin the best part of the game, so I just accept I'm not the target audience.
Consider, that, much of the dialog is the internal voices of the main character, and that he does in fact have his head firmly lodged in his own rectum.
While you are absolutely right, that doesn't make it engaging to listen to. Perhaps ludonarrative harmony can go too far.
