Wow, what a heel turn, am I right? I made an 記事 a few months back talking shit about David Cage and his games, and yet I start this whole event off with a David Cage game. But before I shoot myself in the balls, let’s talk about this. It has been five years since I first joined this website, and I am still going strong today. And so, to celebrate five years of being here, I want to make this series, giving a sort of review, または もっと見る rather, a 一覧 of my 上, ページのトップへ 100 お気に入り games ever. Of all time. And we are starting with Detroit: Become Human… A David Cage game… All credibility I ever had has died today.
So, why is it that I am talking about this game in this way. Well, first off, I still think that David Cage is a hack writer and can’t write a good story to save his life. And while the game does grip あなた for the first two acts, the third act of the game takes such a nose dive with bad twists and dumb moments that it becomes a goddamn mess that is hard to not laugh at, like any other David Cage game. It would’ve ruined the game for me if not for a few things that actually interested me. First off, the world of Detroit: Become Human. People like to call this game a Blade Runner rip off and I can see that being the case. But the thing is, I actually really like Blade Runner. It’s my お気に入り sci-fi movie ever. Anything with police または hunter androids hunting other androids always interests me in some way. And this game has it. It also tells あなた a lot about the world thanks to magazines あなた can pick up, with news about how bees are extinct, how androids are replacing セレブ and athletes and how sex with androids is better than with humans. All little touches that あなた wouldn’t find in the game that just make the world seem もっと見る interesting.
Another thing I like about the game is the characters of Connor and Hank. These two characters make this game so much fun to play. Connor’s monotone lack of emotions and Hank who is brimming with android racism and trying his best to deal with Connor’s bullshit make this game so much もっと見る fun and gets a laugh out of me, and a genuine one. Not the awkward ironic laugh that something like Heavy Rain brings me. The voice actors for Connor and Hank are to thank for making these two so likable. Connor’s voice actor was even nominated Best Voice Performance at the awards, and I think that it was well deserved. And the other two stories following Markus and Kara are interesting as well for a few reasons. Markus is as interesting as stale bread, but the idea of an android revolution is fun enough to keep me invested, and Kara’s story to protect Alice is okay and has moments, until the twist and I want to never experience their story ever again. But it manages to have moments.
Finally, we have something that, as much as I give David Cage games shit for their story, it actually manages to one up every other game that has choices. Here choices actually matter. For once, what あなた do actually affects the story in some way. Sure, the story isn’t as amazing または as heartbreaking as Telltale’s The Walking Dead, but no matter what in that game, あなた will always end up at the same outcome each time, just with different characters. With Detroit: Become Human, あなた gotta actually make the right choices, または else characters will die. Even main characters like Connor, Kara, and Markus. They can die at any point, and when they do, あなた will end up missing the rest of their storylines cause they died. It genuinely makes あなた もっと見る considerate of your choices and makes あなた far もっと見る alert when あなた realize that あなた are on a time to make a choice. Okay, David Cage, I’ll give credit where credit is due. あなた actually managed to make me feel human emotions for your characters. あなた get one golf clap.
I give these games shit, but I really do 愛 Detroit: Become Human. It’s no surprise that it is David Cage’s best work, but the fact that a David Cage game of all games was able to make it into the 上, ページのトップへ 100, even if at the very bottom, at least gives it something that other Cage games don’t have (The ability to be enjoyable). So yeah, is it an amazing game. Hell no. Definitely not on the level that everyone and every Gamestop employee gives it. But it’s a great time for what あなた experience and highly worth your time if あなた want a game where choices actually matter.
