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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
