Matt somehow fucks up in a way where everything works out fine, Woolie and Pat are the ones that don't gently caress up until it's really stupid.

Matt always bumblelords through any situation, including partnering with a notorious AV actress to start her twitch channel. Meanwhile Woolie always has a chance to simply bumble due to his beliefs, and Pat has Crazy Talk to deal with.

Why did Markus go deviant. I feel like order of operations was wrong, like you should of got the endure it or fight back prompt and if you hit fight back then you break through.

Having him go this isn't fair and smashing down the walls only to go "lol nah nvm" is really dumb

Jesus Christ, Pat, you have a loving sick child, this isn't the time to spend 10 minutes looking at menus determining what skills you're gonna upgrade next.

I'm glad Pat isn't a real parent and has no plans on becoming one.

My favorite part of this episode though is the low key drunk discussion between Woolie and Matt about Matt's plans to bang Hitomi Tanaka.

yeah the whole markus chain til now has been real janky, I like the scenario it presents but it rushes thru it too fast and does a half-rear end job at presenting a realistic setup for markus to break code.. then the cops show up and Leo just says "the android did it" (did what?? caused a heart attack?) and they just pull the trigger immediately. Like, I GUESS maybe the cops are on edge cuz a couple android cases have come up recently (after a bunch of time with no problems supposedly) but there's zero reason to shoot in that scenario at all.

To be fair, "itchy trigger finger American cops" is the least unlikely part of that scenario, especially given the faux-melanin content of Marcus' plastic skin

Connor and Hank get all the genuinely good moments, Kara/Luther/Alice get some good bits too but yeah, Markus is where the bad writing just spews out even if I liked some parts of it.

Connor and Hank buddy cop adventure gets multiple good scenes somehow.

It took me some time to come to that, but the thing is Cage has never had a problem coming up with a neat initial story, Indigo Prophecy, Heavy Rain, Beyond, it's that he then runs them completely off the rails because nobody stops him when he pulls "The ancient aztec illuminati who are also the internet" out of his rear end. Detroit has a lot of absolutely, mindblowingly hamfisted "DO YOU SEE THE RACISM?" moments, but someone somewhere stopped him before he turned the game into being about ancient mesopotamians being aliens who created race or something equally lunatic this time.

All I get from Detroit is that David Cage games are bad, awful, terrible etc but Detroit solidly lands in Mediocre so people don't know how to handle it.

That plus cutting Zelda for Sheik (:psyduck:) arguing over Corrin/Robin (which leads to Liam being given the call and cutting both), "Pokemon reps should only have Pikachu", somehow conflating Lucario and Mewtwo's movesets, and constant, constant fighting over Ganondorf.

The concept of 'too many characters' baffles me to begin with. Like, I get not wanting clone characters like Lucina/Marth or Mario/Dr. Mario and Link/Toon Link but otherwise I'm lost.
