    Disco Elysium got a FREE update, where now pretty much all dialogue is voice acted! If you were scared of the reading, that is no longer an excuse. Buy this game right now! We should support developers making free content updates, especially if it is literal hours of voice over.

      And the voiceover is weirdly much superb. I didn't have a game like that since Fallout2.
      Spend 4 in game hours talking to myself and books. Would buy again.

      supergluehotty Couldn’t you just go back and watch one of Yahtzee’s 78 other CoD videos to hear about how bad CoD is? I mean 90% of them is the same dialogue with a slightly different adjectives to describe the big burly men and the Muslims they shoot at. It’s fun if you sync up the audio of 2 or more of them from the theme music you get this cool echo effect and the differences when recorded and played backwards tell you to buy various brands of crisps.

      Aren't we all tired of Call of Duty at this point? As said in the video, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare came out in 2007; that was 12 years ago. There are kids who played it at the time that are serving in the military today. But people keep throwing bags of money to the franchise, so I guess if it ain't broken, don't fix it, right?

      Interesting that you say more creative “slurs” rather than more creative “insults”.
      I think this demonstrates something about the meaning of the word “slur” that some people seem to not be aware of.
      Have you all thought about exactly what it is that makes something a “slur”?
      (Uh, in case it seems like I’m dog whistling some position about racial slurs, I want to be clear that I am of the confident belief that racial slurs are bad. If I’m dog whistling anything, it is either that some slurs that aren’t racial slurs aren’t really bad, or that some things that some people think aren’t slurs because they think they aren’t bad, actually are slurs)

      All the dialogue is entirely voiced now. They gave it a free update and the subtitle “the Final Cut” and apparently they added some other features but the biggest feature they are it was voicing all the dialogue in the game. I’ve always been curious about this game but until I found out that it was now voiced I hadn’t considered buying it

    Thank you for bringing Disco Elysium to my attention, Yahtz. I vaguely remembered you talking about how well written it was and about a week ago I started binging a playthrough on it, trying to get past all of those white and red checks and crossing off everything on my task list. It was an amazing game and an even amazing-er experience! Specially when I found the Insulindian Phasmid. That shit made my jaw drop.

    I recall when I first saw this review I was opening it specifically because I wondered "Really? Another COD? What is there to say, what angle is Yahtzee possibly taking?" And damn if that point doesn't precisely get touched on

    2:13 that's a serious mood. Why do I do anything seemingly with no point?

    2:46 The head twist just makes this so much more poignant. I laughed so hard I had to pause the video. Just awesome.
