The meth-analogue in detroit, like most depictions of hard drug use in media, is just there as a morality prop to make sure you know he's evil, like being old and fat and smelly.

There are no good overweight people in Cage games. It's loving weird. You can start calling story beats based on appearances alone.

WHAT DID SHE THINK WAS GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN SHE PRESSED THE BUTTON PROMPT HOVERING DIRECTLY OVER THE GUN AIMED AT MAN

Why would they put a button on screen that you're not supposed to press though? :confused:

Don't the prompts the entire rest of the game generally indicate what they're for? Like a prompt on a doorknob, etc?

Clearly, this L1 prompt on the gun barrel means to lower the gun

To be fair that's kinda the issue with these movie games where any button can do a million different things. In calmer moments you can usually intuit what a button prompt does, but the higher the intensity the quicker you go "oh poo poo the guy has a gun, there's an R1 prompt floating on the screen, better press that poo poo ASAP!" before you register that this time R1 is the shoot button.

It seems even Cage, or someone reigning him in at least, acknowledged that that's a problem, because most if not all prompts in Detroit come with subtitles over them to tell you what they do, and quick high intensity choices are clearly labelled "pick one of these" choices.

re: Detroit 12 Its amazing how a good actor can take a line as hackneyed as "I kill myself slowly because I'm too afraid to do it quickly," and make it hit. That whole scene is one of my favorites in the game so far despite the heaping pile of cliche, and I put it down entirely to the performances turning chicken poo poo into chicken salad

Also the fact that the Best Friends were apparently a very real factor in Metal Wolf XD makes me wonder just how much they personally moved the needle on the Yakuza series with their playthrough of 5 and Pat signal boosting it on the podcast. Seems like that was the precursor to a LOT of the play the series got on Youtube, just saying...

The comments about the comments made by Connor's actor are somehow, for me, the starkest example of David Cage not understanding human emotion.

Connor's actor is actually a really cool dude, he's did a stream of playing the game with his GF (who is also in the game) and he talks about certain scenes and how he improv'd them.

Suffice to say, goddamn I'm glad he did because Cage sucks.

Along those lines, here's someone doing an LP of the game with their little sister.

Who is Valorie Curry. Who plays Kara. And might be to blame for the game being made in fact, according to their OP.

quote:

In fact, the popularity of the Kara tech demo (also starring Valorie) is the reason why Detroit: Become Human got made at all. So this whole thing is arguably her fault. Anyway, she'll be joining me for the first episode, as well as whatever episodes she has time to record with me.

Oh whoops. That's the impression I got, since it's God of War and also Marvel influence since I don't know mythology beyond the super well known ones like Loki turning into a horse and Zeus loving everything.

You would think he (Woolie) remember that because so far all stories that they came across that involve killing GIANTS or any other god is Thor. And yeah Woolie taking down the Valkriyes like they were just employees made me go.

DO you even know what goddamn Valkriyes are? Pat's only doing well because he has it on easy mode, anything higher and he would be getting murdered.

I don't know what's funnier, that Loki technically is a mom because he turned into a mare to seduce a horse, and the horse hosed him for like a whole day, and then later a baby shot out, or that he did all that just to scam a free wall out of a guy. Norse mythology is amazing

"poo poo got hosed because Odin/Loki/Thor did some poo poo" is like, 90% of the Prose Edda.

Also, has God of War really positioned the valkyries as super awesome warriors? They're not really that in the myths, they're psychopomps who take the righteous dead to Valhalla, being badasses is a secondary role for them.
