is it good?

>>723115635 (OP)
For me it was great. Absolute kino.

>>723115635 (OP)
it's okay, cage's best game by far and passable enough
not a must-play or anything close, but not actively miserable

It's not even game, it's a movie/VN and David Cage is a hack.

fuck no, only the opening is decent

>>723115635 (OP)
I like the Connor/Hank stuff but the other 2/3rds of the game I don't care for

>>723115635 (OP)
Just a FYI, Reddit will say no because Cage put minorities where they belong

>>723115635 (OP)
its pretty good for a playthrough or two
Still doesnt top Heavy rain

Hell yeah my favorite scene is the triple android sandwich making QTE

>>723115635 (OP)
I like it, but Telltale games or LiS games in general are better.

have todd break kara and remove her story from the game as soon as possible

The premise was, the story wasn't

we must detroit: become (better) humans...

>>723116609
Post the not sandwich one

>HUMANS IS LE... BAD THE GAME
holy shit i can write a better story, what a fucking HACK

>>723115635 (OP)
Top 10 of all time.

>>723115635 (OP)
It's a movie game. When it comes to movie games it's pretty decent.

>>723115635 (OP)
yes
i wish there were more games like it

>>723123428
same

It's abysmal dogshit

>>723115635 (OP)
only Connor's sections were decent

10% is actually pretty cool with connor and lex luthor, the rest is mediocre and becomes retroactively horseshit with the twist

>>723115635 (OP)
Connor and Clancy Brown were great though I remember being pissed that there wasn't an ending where Connor naturally became a deviant himself instead of being jailbroken
Everything else was shit

I don't get people who didn't like the Markus segments. Whwn I was going around being Android Saviour and fighting the humans it was extremely fun. Playing as Marus the villain and Connor the terminator is so fun.

>Kara's sections sucks
>Markus' sections are ok if you go full violence
>Connor's sections are good either way
So like only 45% of the game is good

>>723127374
>jailbroken
Kek

Good? No, writing too naive to be enjoyable.
But I liked the degree of freedom this game has compared to usual movie games, being able to lose a character right in their first playable segment is refreshing.

A game where choices actually matter and make a difference.

>>723115635 (OP)
I loved the part where the androids had to stand at the back of the bus. Really subtle writing.

>>723115635 (OP)
No but it's entertaining at times.

>>723115635 (OP)
No but Hank and Connor are great so they somewhat redeem the shitshow.

>>723130394
kek

Can anyone explain what makes Connor and Hank great?

>>723130696
buddy cop dynamic between someone who doesn't understand human emotions and someone who is consumed by them

>>723120715
in a game of choices you've chosen to be gay
this is now the games fault

>>723115635 (OP)
Best Cage game, which means it's...acceptable. Still doesn't make up for the shitshow that was Beyond Two Souls

>>723115979
this

>>723130696
>>723130727
Plus the dialogue and acting were just pretty good. Connor had some great lines and deliveries.

>>723115635 (OP)
I don't know but it looks like another "what if robots had le feelings too?" story that's been completely done to death.

So i got the ellen page game. Seemed ok because i liked her before he mutilated herself. Powers seemed cool.
Then you are sent to africa to kill a nigger when a simple bomb would have done the work better. But ofc you must befriend muh poor dindu child or you can't go further.
When i thought game couldn't get worse you play for two hours as a hobo.

>>723130727
Sounds very tropey. I thought Cage already covered that ground with Heavy Rain.

how much would you pay for a maidbot, /v/?

>>723132271
I have 400 dollars in my bank account, I can't afford that shit

>>723115635 (OP)
I liked it there are parts in the story where it does hit you in the feels but like everyone else said Connor>Marcus>Kara and luckily you can cut her story short

>>723115635 (OP)
Connor and Hank are great, the rest is just okay.
There's some eye-roller moments, like when it's revealed androids have to ride the back of bus or when they're rounded up into camps

>>723115635 (OP)
I don't understand why everyone hates Kara's story when she at least had that creepy house sequence. Marcus was a fucking snorefest from beginning to end for me.

>>723116609
that sandwich looks terrible, I would drown if I bit into that many tomato slices.

>>723130696
Because the actors regularly ad-libbed instead of following David Cage's shitty script.

>>723115635 (OP)
it's great
don't watch YouTube for it and discover everything on your own
get it on sale though

>>723133638
Creepy house? All her segments took place in creepy houses. Oh no wait. Once she went to a creepy amusement park. Fuck Kara missions. Markas and Connor had the action at least.

The issue with Kara is you mainly spend time running and hiding while dragging a child along with you. At some point I was like
>maybe the respobsible thing to do would be to turn Alive over to the cops and hide by yourself
But because they needed to force a mother/daughter relationship that was never an option

>>723115635 (OP)
yes, the connor story is easily the best one and the marcus one is the worst.

>>723136134
Kara's not running away to protect herself. She's running away to protect Alice from Todd. Relinquishing her would just mean she would go back to him and would defeat the entire point, and she'd likely suffer more abuse for running away to begin with.

>>723115635 (OP)
No. It has some of the worst writing I have ever seen.

>"You should let your toaster kill you"
>this resonates with the people

>>723115635 (OP)
>kara segments
alright, gets better as the game progresses
>marcus segments
starts very good and slowly goes downhill with robo jesus stuff
>connor segments
absolute kino

TWENTY 8 STAB WOUNDS

>>723136430
Except for one or two scenarios Kara either kidnaps Alice or Kills Todd. Kara is a criminal. The only way she protects Alice is when Alice kills Todd

>>723115635 (OP)
The overall story was honestly dogshit and ultra-contrived, leaning too far into political correctness and robot genocide.

Otherwise, it's a rare gem of a game. Almost like an interactive movie, with top-notch production, cutscenes, animations, graphics, gameplay ideas and so on. The scene-to-scene scriptwriting is also quite good even if the overarching story is shit. I also think there's very few large budget games that have as much story branching as this one. It has insane amount of branching, 3 characters with endless choices and possibilities, they intersect into a few major events here and there, but otherwise there's endless options and story threads to pursue, and countless end states for the game. It's a must try for those reasons alone.

>>723132271
do you have to pay extra for her to have a fuckable cunt and asshole?

>>723136868
The same number of stabs that Julius Caesar got

>>723115635 (OP)
Hank and Connors back must hurt after carrying this whole fucking game.

>>723130696
The fact that Hank has to process the fact that Connor isn't like the machine that got his son killed.

If Connor goes deviant then Hank sees him as a companion, even more, as his bro. And it's just so sweet to see them warm up to eachother, the whole duo is just dynamic. They just work.

>>723136892
Fuck. Right. Forgot she could kill him. Would definitely be best for her to not drag Alice along in that scenario.

>>723136936
It's why i like the Connor and Hank storyline the most, it takes a mature stance on cops.

Leftards just say ACAB and that's about it, but here you get to play as the police, and you see first hand that the revolution isn't exactly sugary sweet either, you see first hand how the law is a basic necessity which stands as a barrier between the people and complete fucking chaos.

But by far, it's the best out of the 3 storylines because it focuses on the 2 characters the most. I legit have forgotten the other's names besides these 2 kek

>>723132271
>$899

Holy shit. I would buy 3 or 4 Karas as fast as possible and have them live devoted to me.

>>723135750
Kara missions are the emotional part of the story. Because she's about to discover her "new home" and then it's a really sad home where she gets regularly beaten up and reset. Without her, the game wouldn't explore the part about the abuse androids can get.

>>723115635 (OP)
Dahvid caejh

>>723140301
>Without her, the game wouldn't explore the part about the abuse androids can get.

Thats such bullshit. Thats what the Markus missions are for. They should've just cut Kara out so they could have more room for those androids

>>723140556
ok but you wouldn't see it from the android's pov, as in, living in the depressing, doing the chores and then escaping

markus parts are not the same, they dont really go into the sad aspects of it, except when he's in the landfill with other discarded androids

>>723115979
This, it should've just been a buddy cop moviegame, it'd be much more enjoyable

>>723140773
living in the depressing home*

I played this very recently.
The game is ok, good is a stretch, indigo prophecy was good but the ending was garbo.
The problem I have with this game is each of the 3 characters is varying degrees of "fun"
>kara, complete garbage, regret not letting her die instantly so I wouldn't have to play her abused housewife simulator bullshit
>marcus, too linear, character is ok, too many segments that are purely linear and pointless
>Connor is awesome, get to talk to Hank, Hank is awesome, get to actually make decisions that impact the plot

I wish you could continue from mid-chapter too I had to replay a lot of dogshit to get a satisfying conclusion sometime

Also purely spoilers I saved the androids by singing some shitty slave song, it was gay as fuck, David Cage is a hack

>>723140773
You get bullied on the street too by some fucking white trash that didn't learn to code.

>>723115635 (OP)
The first chapter was good. The rest of the game was meh

Never played but I enjoy some of the porn

I would give up 10 astrobots for another Sony David cage kino

>>723142352
>his next game is a fucking Star Wars game and it's taking ages probably because of copious amounts of rewrites as people give less and less of a shit about Star Wars
What a waste of his glorious cringekino talent.

>>723142352
Detroit is his best game and the story is ultimately extremely stupid, between the 'Connor was intended to become a deviant all along!' and the 'the kid was a robot all along' retarded twists and hamfisted 'robots are slaves' bullshit. The next best game is Heavy Rain, and again, the story was extremely stupid. With the killer reveal making no sense whatsoever because of the rewrite and there being a bunch of plotholes.

Other games include Two Souls, which had a plot which, again, was extremely stupid, and Indigo Prophecy, which ended with an extremely awkward dragonball Z QTE boss fight within a modern day thriller setting.

David Cage is a massive hack is what I'm saying. He can't write a plot for half a shit and just strings together ideas that he thinks are cool. Anyone who trusts this man to make anything is an idiot.

Seriously. Irl real companions would cost the price of a luxury car at the least.

>>723144156
>Some russian faggot
Fuck off.

>>723115635 (OP)
the search for jericho through the most boring parcours and analyzing graffiti is this weird worship of the urban hellscape. You really get a sense that cage thinks there is something mystical and fascinating in all that vandalism.

Jericho itself is like a copy of season 3 of humans, but they came out about the same time, so they can't have stolen it from each other. I guess they want to depict living in slums as the ultimate oppression.

Neither manages to answer the essential question of giving synths human rights: if they get equal enfranchisement, whomever fabricates them as insane political power and sway.

>>723143575
not if they're cheap to fabricate.

>>723143436
>just strings together ideas that he thinks are cool.

desu, more people should do this.

>>723143575
that's what you would have said about smart phones 40 year ago

>>723143436
He made 4 kinos that I enjoyed

why do north and the traci have the same background story? lol.

>>723132271

How is markus story so boring?

Jellybrains may well enjoy shit that has no cohesion or direction, but you can just watch your AI slop and let real people enjoy actual productions.

>>723144435
He's Ukrainian, apologize.

Making him a killer was a mistake, he was such a fun character, the plot twist is so retarded.

>>723129516
For a David Cage game, that's remarkable.

>>723115635 (OP)
it's not even a game right

>>723146835
>this actor
>they made him a murderer
There was a 90's movie with him being a cop and murdered. The protag was an insurance guy and made some formula to calculate how much (if any at all) money should insurance companies pay out. So cop's wife was involved in an accident and died sometime later and insurance was not paying anything which lead to the death (IIRC). So cop (a detective) finds out that the guy was responsible for the new policy, and murders guy's wife, and then tries to kill his kid, and commits sudoku after final confrontation with protag (the insurance guy). Kid lives, guy gets a new wife (a better one IMO).
Good movie.

>>723115635 (OP)
Very important question. North or Simon?

>>723149664
Simon is a bro who is also smart enough to give the right advice when it's needed.
North is a psychopath former sexbot who always chooses violence even when it's completely unnecessary.
Normally this would be an easy choice but insane vengeance Markus is more fun so North is actually a good fit for him.

My biggest problem with the game is Connor's only endings are either blindly following Markus or going full robot.
Would have been nice to have a Connor who is deviant and a good person, while Markus is a warmonger who still needs to be stopped.

>>723149664
North but only because playing into the violence is what makes the Markus story interesting.
>>723150958
>He didn't get the true ending

>>723150958

There's so many endings, just try and you can get more.

>>723115635 (OP)
It's David Cage's best game, which is a backhanded complimented if I ever posted one.

>>723115635 (OP)
Only the buddy cop bits. The rest is laughably bad.
