We should all be thankful that game development decisions aren't crowdsourced.

They should put more and more characters in and never balance them, and when asked why said they looked at GameFAQs for suggestions. And then keep doing it for twenty years.

Until it actively impairs his ability to play the game I'm gonna take all the Hitomi and Simpsons jokes I can get out of this.

I still don't get why swords bother everyone so much. Smash Bros doesn't have an extremely diverse selection of weaponry. If you're not using a sword then you're unarmed 85% of the time. There're outliers like Peach, Ness, Lucas, and Bowser Jr.'s Smash attacks or Fox's blaster but by and large most people go unarmed or use a sword because swords are pretty much always the go to weapon of incredible power.

It's less that and more that 3/4 of the FE characters default to having a Down B counter and that is boring

Yeah. When Marth, Lucina, Ike, Roy, and Corrin all fit that same mold, its hard not for it to feel samey. Especially from a series as varied as Fire Emblem. It'd be like if the Pokemon reps were just the 7 Fire type starters.

So police think Markus killed a old man via psychic heart attack I guess. They don't detain the robot that's standing perfectly still going "no its not me" but instead shoot it.

They don't bring it to robo-prison where Conner or any of the other FBI goons can question him about this surge of robo violence, they instead through him in a rando junk heap with like a billion other broken bots.

God this games Markus story

And it seems like robodeath is permanent unless you're a Patron 3000.

It's dumb and not shown very well, but police coming down, shooting the blackrobot and throwing it out since there's nothing else to do and the white guy said it was okay, is the most realistic display in this game so far.

That scene is pretty cool, does seem a bit ridiculous how quickly things went down. I also suppose the suggestion was that he was "out" for sometime. Do you end up there regardless of how the previous Markus scene ended?

Suspension of disbelief and all, but it seems pretty wild they just throw away androids like that. I get that they're supposed to be seen as (literally) disposable household "things" but you think Cyberlife would be interested in a) any ones that went deviant/had problems, and b) recycling and salvaging parts?

Recycling is the biggest thing. Markus easily reassembled himself to be functional. I can't believe any reason to leave a wall of working arms alone and not bring them in to clean up, mix-n-match and sell some Refurbished Androids for low-budget consumers.

I can almost 100% guarantee that them shooting a black robo-person was just a coincidence on the script writers and they would of probably shot Alice or anyone else that was there :v:

Also WAS Markus just seeing inside himself all transparent? I was kind of half asleep and the screen was dark as hell but that giant hole seemingly vanished and him popping a eyeball in healed that entire gash in his head pretty soundly.

The healing started after he replaced his robo heart thorium pump thing.

Also, it is a video game.

Matt and Crymetina did a Critique video on Jojo costumes and Matt legit doesn't know and/or remembers poo poo about Jojo past part...2-ish? "oh they're...a thing."

Still fun tho.

I mean, I get it's a video game but in a gameplay segment all about recovering parts to repair yourself having big chunks of your body magically reform is kind of strange I gotta say.

Become Human seems...adequate, which is weird. the LP is still fun, butn part of me is sad we are losing the classic, Awful Cage.

It's like when your crazy loser friend from high school who did all sorts of whacky poo poo finally cleans up and gets a job. You're have he has his act together, but you also lost a colorful character in your life.

Or when Uwe Boll graduated from insane incompetent hack to just boring lame filmmaker.

I've been told Detroit has an actual writing team so it's far less David Cage by volume which is probably why most people are confused by this game.

The parts you suspect are written by David Cage are written by David Cage.

Woolie kept saying it, this much money means he's reigned in, held back to the neater concepts without going full balls-to-the-walls wacky. A David Caged, if you will.

I'm still expecting some good ol' cringe later on, tho.

Yea, if this were Heavy Rain we wouldn't even be at the trials part yet, we'd be making snacks for SHAUN.

Also, there's been plenty of stupid already, like the loving price of the androids.
