A dead person hanging from a tree a few minutes in. There's lots of violence in the game.

- marginalia_nu 4y agoViolence isn't the point of the game, but the gritty backdrop. It's a philosophical treatsie thinly disguised as a game about a cop with a mid life crisis.
- pvg 4y agoSure but it permeates the whole thing. It's a violent game, you just don't happen to be the agent of the violence. Still the opposite of 'non-violent game'.

- pvg 4y agobut if you actually read the OP Yes, when someone asks for games that don't involve violence, guns, war and is suitable for playing with children, the answer is not 'something that's not Doom' but a game that doesn't involve violence, guns, war and is suitable for playing with children.
- marginalia_nu 4y agoAre we reading different threads? I can't find any of those specifications.
- yieldcrv 4y agoThey’re looking for a game with a great story that doesn’t have a gun or violence involved. A core thread of disco is a gun. and meticulously scheming violence. And it’s also not for kids in that medium. Very obtuse words.
- marginalia_nu 4y agoRight, but guns and violence and aggression aren't portrayed as fun things in Disco Elysium. They are portrayed as bad things. I don't understand why people are so caught up on kids games when the OP is looking for games to play themselves OR with their kids. That "or", while not a long word, makes a huge difference.
- yieldcrv 4y agothe OR is important, maybe I'll suggest Death Stranding after all then. Kojima specifically wanted a game not focused on violence and instead of symbol of "togetherness".
