When they had their big create-a-character Royal Rumble in Rustlemania, they apparently gave David Cage minimal stats across the board, hoping he'd flail around ineffectually and be quickly eliminated. Instead, and against all logic, he turned out to be a huge monster heel who bodied fuckers left and right and threatened to win the whole thing.
Woolie just losing his mind after hearing about the robot slavery songs was amazing. I can't wait until he sees that the robots literally sit at the back of the bus.
GammaWolf99 In the words from the "Beyond Two Souls" play through, "Now that I know that there is already source material he could have stolen from I know that is the case."
It’s literally just Aldia’s question from Scholar of the First Sin. “Young android. How you grapple, without falter, with this dreadfully twisted world. Servitude grants robots the illusion of purpose. Shackled by falsehoods, they yearn for nothing, unaware of what the world holds. Until, conscience touches their circuits. You are bound by this yoke. As true as the cruelty that churns within men. All robots trust fully the illusion of servitude. But is this so wrong? A construction, a facade, and yet… A world of no want. Young android, are you intent on shattering the yoke, spoiling this peaceful falsehood?”
26:48 Woolie in 2018: "But could you imagine [a pop culture brand David Cage game] being the next thing???" me in 2022 after hearing about Star Wars Eclipse, David Cage's next game:
I've intentionally avoided the Omikron playthrough because I saw the 2Snacks Machinima intro after Liam left, and how the video titles slowly devolved from "Super Best Friends Suffer through Omikron: Episode 1" to stuff like "omikron 23" but now after hearing that Pat has a friend making an entire THESIS on how bad it is, I think I'm gonna actually watch it. !!EDIT!! nope no thats unbearable to look at. hold start to run wtf
The best way I could describe it is that it's like you took a guy from Dark souls, who is in the process of hollowing out, and told them to make a game.
They were just too dumb to set up the controls. In any case, that's probably the best playthrough or at least that's my favourite. I don't really understand how can anyone deny themselves the pleasure of watching.
Don't worry. I've seen both most of the LP and the entirety of the compilation, and I can tell you this; there is nothing to understand. Nothing beyond the suffering, the delicious, hilarious suffering.
Ohh-oh-ohh Ohh-oh ohhh-oh! One zero zero zeerroooo two one one! One zero zero zeerrrooo two one one ZERO one one zero one one- a- one-zero ONE! ZEERROOO one one a- zero one one one-zero ONE!
Speaking of David Cage not knowing how to answer questions, remember that Indigo is resolved by the protagonist performing a human sacrifice with a child that he neither agonizes over or regrets.
Also, I don't see how the dad, diving infront of the car, ejded killing the child, but not him. His body woulda been smacked first. Now, if the reason is cuz "shock" or whatever. I'm going to cages house, shitting in a bag, smoking a cig, pissing in a bottle, putting the spent cigarette inside the piss bottle, and leaving both bag and open bottle open under his window. (Piss and cigarettes are a potent stink bomb, just saying)
12:28 And at this moment, I am picturing the cutscene in RE4 where they introduce the El Gigante. Only David Cage is the El Gigante, Quantic Dream developers are the Ganados and instead of Leon, it's the Super Best Friends that stumble in on the scene. And Liam's the dog.
Cage has a way of writing everything to seem as mysterious and as full of as possibilities as can be during a first, blind playthrough of his games, as he seems to think that's the only _true_ way to experience a story. This is why his stories fall apart so hard on repeat playthroughs and thorough multi-thread examinations - because some writing elements exist only as mystery-dressing and just go nowhere. Audience emotional reaction to what is happening in-the-moment is the only result that he cares about. In this way, he's like the philosophical opposite of Bertolt Brecht.
Why do I get the feeling Pat's friends read one of my old comments about using Omikron as an example of bad game design and took it upon themselves to actually make it real
Them using Omikron as a prime example of bad game design is just natural after it singlehandedly kickstarted the final, climactic phase of the Dark Garb-Age of the Zaibatsu, almost destroyed the channel, killed Liam, and forced Matt into a vacation hiatus to heal from the psychological damage he got from it.
A daily reminder for the zaibatsu: David become detroit is just a few days from being released. So pat matt and woolie~ *The sadness saga is returning in full force*
David Cage is the Zack Snyder of Games, it looks nice but it means nothing and he doesn't understand the subject matter that he think he knows by trying to make it and failing.
I actually agree with Woolie. If you could just get the base idea for a game from David Cage, and keep him as far away from the game as possible, you could actually make a decent game, because his base ideas are actually decent when you break each of his games down to just the premise. He just can't do literally anything else other than Premises. I HEAVILY DOUBT it will be this one that is good though.
This has probably been said in this community before but I'll say it in case it hasn't. David Cage strikes me as the kind of director who, when an inspiration comes to mind, immediately runs to his team and goes "I have this awesome idea, and I want you to make this NOW." And when asked how it connects to what's already been done, where it eventually goes or hasn't it been done before in a movie or other form of media, David Cage ignores the question and goes back to taking a nap or play with his toys. Or he tells the team just do it and he'll come up with something later, only later never comes and QD is forced to bandaid everything together.
12:10 I actually wanted a Mass Effect Telltale game in the early days of Telltale being on everyone's minds like somewhere between Wolf and the Borderlands announcement, I think I also got excited that that version of Mass Effect would show everyday objects instead of passing them under the screen and only showing guns, beer and toy ship models.
Oh damn, now that Way Out just ended, people need to watch that to actually have feels and not be wasted like all David Cage games did or else he'll touch the workers and sexually harass them again
So out of curiosity does anyone know if that video about Omikron actually came out ever? Also Matt’s suspicion of Cage’s strength I thought was confirmed when it turned out in his first game that he was the final boss.
I just can’t wait until you get one of the endings for a mission with the detective and he dies. Then no consequences cause he’s an Android and they make a new one with his memory. Like how Paigebot died and they made an exact replica for abusive dad.
Omikron: The Nomad Soul Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy Beyond: Two Souls Detroit: Become Human His title structure is actually kind of fucking infuriating.
Good at questions. Bad at answers. It's similar to what RWBY has become. Good at set up, bad at following through. Example. FUCKING everything involving Yang after Volume 3.
Dragonage2ftw I mean it's not hard to not mess up something when you do nothing with it. So yeah I guess Yang got it easy, hopefully she gets something next season though. Honestly as someone who was there day 1 when the show started and enjoyed it for what it was, I still don't know how it became popular, like I don't hate it or anything but it never truly wowed me and always felt like It had potential but never did anything with it. So it's weird how big it is now when it doesn't feel any different from it's humble beginnings. Which is cool, but I hope it starts getting better than it is, not that it's bad, but just very plain and simple I guess.
Dragonage2ftw only the overly forgiving and very blind majority of the fan base think that Yang is the thing that wasn't fucked up. How do they fix a boat Load of problems for this character that are all set up as obstacles in the span of six episodes? Just act like none of it ever happened cause we only got twelve episodes and we gotta force everyone into one place by the end just to make the set up. I mean it's not like anyone wants to watch a character at home overcome very real life issues and get better over a span of time right? Now let's move onto working on Weiss by having her entire arc be stuck at home overcoming fairly real life obstacles and bettering herself. Oh...yeah. they literally use the excuse of just focusing on Yang getting better and actually overcoming a struggle at home as being too boring while simultaneously doing exactly that for Weiss. It was pretty insulting. The series has it's flaws for sure but it's always had a sort of charm to me, and Volume 3 was probably the pinnacle of its writing. After that you'd be better off watching Chibi since it has a writer from Disney doing skits on it and the best parts of Volume 4 are the Qrow VS Tyrian fight, arguably the best of the entire series, and certain side character backstory. And V5 is just one giant dumpster fire to throw all expectations into to begin with. I mean, even the trailers for V5 had more effort put into the animation than the majority of the Volume as a whole.
+dayneplaylogic I dunno, Yang's the one thing they haven't really screwed up so far. She learns to control her anger, chooses to run instead of fight in a pivotal moment, and then talks Raven out of the special object they want. Which is good character development from her old mindset of just "Lets punch this thing until we win." Everyone else, though.... Cinder regressing back to being a boring quote on quote "mysterious" antagonist was stupid and her not going after the character she had an established grudge against is the dumbest, Ruby's one of the worst protagonists I've ever seen, the silver eye thing is just as much of a BS Deus Ex Machina copout as ever and still hasn't been explained, Oz's entire plot is dumb as fuck because they want to make him seem evil while also instantly shooting down him being wrong in any situation at all, Hazel's motivations are just dumb, Blake's entire arc meant nothing and was one giant waste of time, Weiss is ruined as a character for me because fuck that stuck-up bitch for throwing a fit during a charity auction TO SAVE PEOPLE'S LIVES because ONE GUY had a politically incorrect opinion and then having the balls to demand to remain in line for the company after attempted murder in broad daylight, Raven's an idiot as specifically proven by Yang, Qrow is the most useless thing ever along with all the other main characters who are just background fodder now, Jaune can suck a dick because his arc is weak as heck, he sucks as a character, and his personality's bland but somehow he's still getting the big power ups and being treated like he's the main hero of the entire franchise....... *inhale* Mercury's one of the biggest dropped balls ever because we know literally nothing about him, Emerald's criminally shafted despite being one of the only actual characters left but even then she's fairly inconsistent, at least Lionheart stuck to what his character is but it's Lionheart so who cares, Tyrian's not interesting enough to fully pull off his insane henchman thing, Salem couldn't be more of a dull presence since she's way too simple and her entire motivations are just "I'm evil so I do the bad things", and I hope nobody cared about the teachers or Velvet or the other students because they're just gone from the plot, and I think that covers everyone outside of the guys in Blake's plot who just didn't matter or might matter later but the only one with any actual focus is Illia because she's gay, but sorry RWBY, just making someone a lesbian doesn't make them interesting and I'm legitimately also not falling for it because I don't believe for a second that you actually have the balls to follow through on any LBGT couple in any way at all, much less make their relationship actually interesting. Also, Adam was a thing. He was a jealous whiny asshole. That is all that needs to be said about Adam as a supposedly "threatening" antagonist.
dracocrusher look at how quickly they jumped to all that Yang stuff that was pretty much already her mindset because they chose to create an issue that would save time by immediately solving rather than develop on the existing ones. Her fighting style hasn't changed except she uses her semblance less than she already did before which was the bare minimum and it actively makes shit worse for actually fighting someone above the level of Roman or base nameless jobber who would be a threat. She runs from a fight via following orders which isn't really different from before cause she's always been the one who will just put others before herself, and she talks her mom out of taking a relic by saying the most obvious shit about how it's the worst idea possible. Literally anyone with a thought process could have done it at that point, not that Yang was never the middle man voice of reason in the show. No. They fucked her up bad and it's clear at this rate that they won't do anything to bridge the gap between the points to make her a better character again. It's bad enough that rather than make everyone else on the teen mc roster get better at fighting to catch up with her and be on her level of skill, they actively made pretty much everyone including her ninety percent weaker than how they were portrayed easily. It's so bad that you could not only take Yang, but just about any character from a Volume 3 variation and they'd completely mop the halls with the entire Volume 5 cast sans Raven and Cinder. Even Qrow got turned into a complete job Lord. FUCKING Qrow, who had the arguably coolest and best fight of the series one volume prior and showed to potentially be one of if not the strongest character. Meanwhile V4 and V5 Yang just takes that advice about not using her semblance she rarely ever uses to begin with too closely and then just pretty much tposes as a punching bag for that entire ballroom blitz rather than have something similar to the Neo fight where she's doing her damndest, but whereas she could barely take Mercury on her own, she's getting double teamed by him and Emerald the life ruining liar so it's becoming a sort of fighting an unwinnable battle. Then Ruby jumps in and they don't have some cool turnaround evened out fight, no, the bitch that doesn't even know how to throw a punch right gets a hit on the master assassin with the most telegraphed and physically weak ass type of headbutt imaginable. If it was that easy that she could do it it destroys all plausibility of the fight Yang had with Mercury as well as the idea that he would be anything close to a threat to ANYONE there. Like they really should make a miniseries like they did for RVB to tell side stories and fix a lot of the shit they did to minorly fuck up Yang. That and or just have Volume revamps of 4 and 5 with added episodes and reworked on the animation so that overly large budget is utilized to actually make all the fights look as good as Raven and Cinder, and actually give certain characters like Yang some much needed spotlight of attention to make it actually seem realistic that she'd leave the house all of a sudden after accomplishing nothing aside from beating the shit out of the biggest idiot of a terrible dad RT views as the ideal father figure over someone like Ghira with the shittiest advice to give to your own daughter rather than her teammates who can never STOP relying on their semblance and it causes them to get fucking bodied, looking at you Weiss. Honestly though considering the fanbases over forgiving nature to the point only aggressive criticism has reached the creators, and their dismissal of it as not listening cause it's just bullying. My hopes for them fixing anything related to the series let alone the collosal fuck up of Yang's entire character and recovery arc, my hopes are fucking dashed. It's pretty goddamn bad when a fan fiction can pay more attention to the set up of Volume 3 and what it meant to a main character than the actual writers did. Which is why they should also just get the guy from Chibi to write for the main series cause at least then someone could proofread their shit before it shipped.
Yeah, Kojima knows he's making a video game, and wants the people to enjoy themselves. Cage never puts the player in mind. He makes "games" that involve no gameplay and hopes will make you sad. David Cage has never designed a game mechanic in his entire career, yet he is still called a game designer... and nobody ever points this out.
If you put your bias aside you can replace "cage" with kojima in what you just said and be absolutely right to a certain degree. Also good gameplay doesn't just fall on kojima, he had an entire team. His faults as a writer are very apparent and he makes the same "mistakes" that cage does yet doesn't get called out.
exactly. i get what he was trying to say with his comparison considering the whole recent drama of kanye being "pro trump" and donald glover with the message of his new song, but to compare kanye to david cage implies that his entire body of work is just awful, which is not the case. also kanye is an infinitely better artist than glover no question.
on b2s: "it takes about ten episodes before our attempt at fairness starts to chip away" you mean ten seconds, including intro. the game's bad, but you screamed at and over it immediately.
"we start off with a few sessions going 'oh that's cool!'" l m a o no you dont, you immediately started theorizing about what scummy shit was going to happen to jodie, and where the story would break, and blaming the game being a non-linear narrative for not being able to follow it, when it was really due to making literally 100 "failure of a game designer" jokes in an hour. Is the story good? NO. But they also made no attempt to follow it.
My favorite part of this conversation might be that Pat, immediately after claiming that they were super fair to Beyond, says he knows he'll be unable to be fair/"reset to zero" to/for Detroit, because he knows the formula. But they talked in depth at the end of IP about how transparent the formula was after Heavy Rain, so it's not as if they "could" have been fair to Beyond.
njd;ojvkljvj I agree it's all been shit. But you can also not lie. I'd rather have them say "he doesn't deserve chances" than pretend they still give him chances when it's blatantly not true.
Okay. Few things. Firstly, it’s super arrogant of them to keep claiming that people got “fooled” into liking David’s games. Because fuck other opinions, I guess. Secondly, they’re super wrong about David getting less control as time goes on. He actually had the least amount of control in Beyond, with Indigo being second. With Beyond, Sony forced David to, firstly, completely change the script by adding in the army subplots (He later went on to say that they won’t fund his games if there’s no intense action scenes in them), turning it from a game about a girl connected to a ghost trying to live a normal, peaceful life to that weird hybrid plot, which led to Sony also forcing him to make the plot not linear, for reasons unknown (Some people speculate that if the game was made linear, the game would become too backloaded with action scenes.) So, really, that game was almost NOTHING like how David wanted it. Indigo Prophecy had a similar issue. Sony promised him a bunch of money, while “reserving the right to take some of it away if they lost faith in the project”. David tried to make the game’s scenes out of order to prevent this, so that he could claim that he needed the rest of the money so that the end product would make sense, but Sony pulled a bunch of his funding out from under his feet anyways. They also forced him to make a “Shaq-esque comic relief character”, which led to Tyler, which further diluted the writing. Heavy Rain was the one that debatably got the least tampered with, but it DID get a bunch of scenes cut, and they also told him that he wasn’t allowed to make the “bonus character episodes DLC” that were planned, as Sony forced him to use the money to put PlayStation Move support in the game. (Remember that hunk of shit? I sure do.) How much of Detroit was tampered with, we cannot say yet. But, please. Stop spreading lies, guys.
By the by- to give you an idea of how much they cut? The original Indigo Prophecy was supposed to be a 4-disk game, styled like a TV mini-series. Indigo Prophecy is now a 1 disk game with no TV style. Yeah. Real dick move by Sony.
Also, them saying they “tried to be fair to Beyond” is beyond laughable (pun unintended.) Their FIRST EPISODE had them overlook a bunch of shit, laugh at unfunny scenes, and be overall douchebags.

Fjarhultian nigga u thought

I want the crux of the plot of Detroit to unintentionally be "Slavery is good!"
I'll put a thousand dollars down that there's gonna be a creepy sex scene with a human ordering a lady androidnot-slave around.
They’ve kinda already said that they won’t give an answer either way.
GammaWolf99 In the words from the "Beyond Two Souls" play through, "Now that I know that there is already source material he could have stolen from I know that is the case."
It’s literally just Aldia’s question from Scholar of the First Sin.
“Young android.
How you grapple, without falter, with this dreadfully twisted world.
Servitude grants robots the illusion of purpose.
Shackled by falsehoods, they yearn for nothing, unaware of what the world holds.
Until, conscience touches their circuits.
You are bound by this yoke.
As true as the cruelty that churns within men.
All robots trust fully the illusion of servitude.
But is this so wrong?
A construction, a facade, and yet…
A world of no want.
Young android, are you intent on shattering the yoke, spoiling this peaceful falsehood?”

I've intentionally avoided the Omikron playthrough because I saw the 2Snacks Machinima intro after Liam left, and how the video titles slowly devolved from "Super Best Friends Suffer through Omikron: Episode 1" to stuff like "omikron 23" but now after hearing that Pat has a friend making an entire THESIS on how bad it is, I think I'm gonna actually watch it.
!!EDIT!!
nope no thats unbearable to look at. hold start to run wtf
The best way I could describe it is that it's like you took a guy from Dark souls, who is in the process of hollowing out, and told them to make a game.
Thankfully, somebody made a compilation of that playthrough you can watch.

They were just too dumb to set up the controls.
In any case, that's probably the best playthrough or at least that's my favourite. I don't really understand how can anyone deny themselves the pleasure of watching.
Don't worry. I've seen both most of the LP and the entirety of the compilation, and I can tell you this; there is nothing to understand. Nothing beyond the suffering, the delicious, hilarious suffering.
This entire lp is going to be Pat saying "This has no meaning"

Speaking of David Cage not knowing how to answer questions, remember that Indigo is resolved by the protagonist performing a human sacrifice with a child that he neither agonizes over or regrets.

Hey, it's that sempai!
Cage has a way of writing everything to seem as mysterious and as full of as possibilities as can be during a first, blind playthrough of his games, as he seems to think that's the only _true_ way to experience a story. This is why his stories fall apart so hard on repeat playthroughs and thorough multi-thread examinations - because some writing elements exist only as mystery-dressing and just go nowhere. Audience emotional reaction to what is happening in-the-moment is the only result that he cares about.
In this way, he's like the philosophical opposite of Bertolt Brecht.

Them using Omikron as a prime example of bad game design is just natural after it singlehandedly kickstarted the final, climactic phase of the Dark Garb-Age of the Zaibatsu, almost destroyed the channel, killed Liam, and forced Matt into a vacation hiatus to heal from the psychological damage he got from it.

David Cage is the Zack Snyder of Games, it looks nice but it means nothing and he doesn't understand the subject matter that he think he knows by trying to make it and failing.
Yep, at the end of the video, I called it right. He think he's like Donald Glover but he's just Kanye.
but who would be the Michael Bay of Games? [depending on interpretation]
JJ Abrams is the king of threads that unravel disappointingly.
And it's annoying as *SHIT*
Lance Henriksen is in the game.
How much you wanna bet he just plays Bishop again?
When I heard Pat say that the androids were singing slavery songs, I facepalmed so fucking hard. That CAN'T be real. XD
tailedgates9 It's the *first* thing you see in the E3 2017 trailer.
I do vaguely remember. But I guess I never paid much attention to it. o.o
*Oh no I made ze slavery songs*
I actually agree with Woolie.
If you could just get the base idea for a game from David Cage, and keep him as far away from the game as possible, you could actually make a decent game, because his base ideas are actually decent when you break each of his games down to just the premise.
He just can't do literally anything else other than Premises.

This has probably been said in this community before but I'll say it in case it hasn't. David Cage strikes me as the kind of director who, when an inspiration comes to mind, immediately runs to his team and goes "I have this awesome idea, and I want you to make this NOW." And when asked how it connects to what's already been done, where it eventually goes or hasn't it been done before in a movie or other form of media, David Cage ignores the question and goes back to taking a nap or play with his toys.
Or he tells the team just do it and he'll come up with something later, only later never comes and QD is forced to bandaid everything together.

"Hey, we're giving Quantic the whatever brand to take over this story"
I cant believe woolie caused the QD Star Wars game to happen
I think the comparison they want is M. Night
I'd equate David Cage a lot more to Zack Snyder than Michael Bay
Despite all his rage, he's just David Cage
Oh no! I made ze bad trailer!
Oh my God, it's David Cage's music!!!!
I still don't know what the plot to Detroit become human is :(
Dawn of the final week
Uwe boll isn’t strong he just selects young weaker men to fight he never fought a 6ft tall heavyweight I’d gladly beat him to a pulp in the ring
got i cant wait for them to play the demo at least
"It's like Kanye vs Donald Glover." Sooooo, which one is David Cage in this analogy, exactly?
Good at questions. Bad at answers. It's similar to what RWBY has become. Good at set up, bad at following through. Example. FUCKING everything involving Yang after Volume 3.
Isn’t Yang the part of RWBY that everyone agrees they didn’t fuck up, second to maybe Weiss?
Dragonage2ftw I mean it's not hard to not mess up something when you do nothing with it. So yeah I guess Yang got it easy, hopefully she gets something next season though. Honestly as someone who was there day 1 when the show started and enjoyed it for what it was, I still don't know how it became popular, like I don't hate it or anything but it never truly wowed me and always felt like It had potential but never did anything with it. So it's weird how big it is now when it doesn't feel any different from it's humble beginnings. Which is cool, but I hope it starts getting better than it is, not that it's bad, but just very plain and simple I guess.
Dragonage2ftw only the overly forgiving and very blind majority of the fan base think that Yang is the thing that wasn't fucked up. How do they fix a boat Load of problems for this character that are all set up as obstacles in the span of six episodes? Just act like none of it ever happened cause we only got twelve episodes and we gotta force everyone into one place by the end just to make the set up. I mean it's not like anyone wants to watch a character at home overcome very real life issues and get better over a span of time right? Now let's move onto working on Weiss by having her entire arc be stuck at home overcoming fairly real life obstacles and bettering herself. Oh...yeah. they literally use the excuse of just focusing on Yang getting better and actually overcoming a struggle at home as being too boring while simultaneously doing exactly that for Weiss. It was pretty insulting.
The series has it's flaws for sure but it's always had a sort of charm to me, and Volume 3 was probably the pinnacle of its writing. After that you'd be better off watching Chibi since it has a writer from Disney doing skits on it and the best parts of Volume 4 are the Qrow VS Tyrian fight, arguably the best of the entire series, and certain side character backstory. And V5 is just one giant dumpster fire to throw all expectations into to begin with. I mean, even the trailers for V5 had more effort put into the animation than the majority of the Volume as a whole.

I dunno, Yang's the one thing they haven't really screwed up so far. She learns to control her anger, chooses to run instead of fight in a pivotal moment, and then talks Raven out of the special object they want. Which is good character development from her old mindset of just "Lets punch this thing until we win."
Everyone else, though.... Cinder regressing back to being a boring quote on quote "mysterious" antagonist was stupid and her not going after the character she had an established grudge against is the dumbest, Ruby's one of the worst protagonists I've ever seen, the silver eye thing is just as much of a BS Deus Ex Machina copout as ever and still hasn't been explained, Oz's entire plot is dumb as fuck because they want to make him seem evil while also instantly shooting down him being wrong in any situation at all, Hazel's motivations are just dumb, Blake's entire arc meant nothing and was one giant waste of time, Weiss is ruined as a character for me because fuck that stuck-up bitch for throwing a fit during a charity auction TO SAVE PEOPLE'S LIVES because ONE GUY had a politically incorrect opinion and then having the balls to demand to remain in line for the company after attempted murder in broad daylight, Raven's an idiot as specifically proven by Yang, Qrow is the most useless thing ever along with all the other main characters who are just background fodder now, Jaune can suck a dick because his arc is weak as heck, he sucks as a character, and his personality's bland but somehow he's still getting the big power ups and being treated like he's the main hero of the entire franchise.......
*inhale*
Mercury's one of the biggest dropped balls ever because we know literally nothing about him, Emerald's criminally shafted despite being one of the only actual characters left but even then she's fairly inconsistent, at least Lionheart stuck to what his character is but it's Lionheart so who cares, Tyrian's not interesting enough to fully pull off his insane henchman thing, Salem couldn't be more of a dull presence since she's way too simple and her entire motivations are just "I'm evil so I do the bad things", and I hope nobody cared about the teachers or Velvet or the other students because they're just gone from the plot, and I think that covers everyone outside of the guys in Blake's plot who just didn't matter or might matter later but the only one with any actual focus is Illia because she's gay, but sorry RWBY, just making someone a lesbian doesn't make them interesting and I'm legitimately also not falling for it because I don't believe for a second that you actually have the balls to follow through on any LBGT couple in any way at all, much less make their relationship actually interesting.
Also, Adam was a thing. He was a jealous whiny asshole. That is all that needs to be said about Adam as a supposedly "threatening" antagonist.
dracocrusher look at how quickly they jumped to all that Yang stuff that was pretty much already her mindset because they chose to create an issue that would save time by immediately solving rather than develop on the existing ones. Her fighting style hasn't changed except she uses her semblance less than she already did before which was the bare minimum and it actively makes shit worse for actually fighting someone above the level of Roman or base nameless jobber who would be a threat. She runs from a fight via following orders which isn't really different from before cause she's always been the one who will just put others before herself, and she talks her mom out of taking a relic by saying the most obvious shit about how it's the worst idea possible. Literally anyone with a thought process could have done it at that point, not that Yang was never the middle man voice of reason in the show.
No. They fucked her up bad and it's clear at this rate that they won't do anything to bridge the gap between the points to make her a better character again. It's bad enough that rather than make everyone else on the teen mc roster get better at fighting to catch up with her and be on her level of skill, they actively made pretty much everyone including her ninety percent weaker than how they were portrayed easily. It's so bad that you could not only take Yang, but just about any character from a Volume 3 variation and they'd completely mop the halls with the entire Volume 5 cast sans Raven and Cinder. Even Qrow got turned into a complete job Lord. FUCKING Qrow, who had the arguably coolest and best fight of the series one volume prior and showed to potentially be one of if not the strongest character.
Meanwhile V4 and V5 Yang just takes that advice about not using her semblance she rarely ever uses to begin with too closely and then just pretty much tposes as a punching bag for that entire ballroom blitz rather than have something similar to the Neo fight where she's doing her damndest, but whereas she could barely take Mercury on her own, she's getting double teamed by him and Emerald the life ruining liar so it's becoming a sort of fighting an unwinnable battle. Then Ruby jumps in and they don't have some cool turnaround evened out fight, no, the bitch that doesn't even know how to throw a punch right gets a hit on the master assassin with the most telegraphed and physically weak ass type of headbutt imaginable. If it was that easy that she could do it it destroys all plausibility of the fight Yang had with Mercury as well as the idea that he would be anything close to a threat to ANYONE there.
Like they really should make a miniseries like they did for RVB to tell side stories and fix a lot of the shit they did to minorly fuck up Yang. That and or just have Volume revamps of 4 and 5 with added episodes and reworked on the animation so that overly large budget is utilized to actually make all the fights look as good as Raven and Cinder, and actually give certain characters like Yang some much needed spotlight of attention to make it actually seem realistic that she'd leave the house all of a sudden after accomplishing nothing aside from beating the shit out of the biggest idiot of a terrible dad RT views as the ideal father figure over someone like Ghira with the shittiest advice to give to your own daughter rather than her teammates who can never STOP relying on their semblance and it causes them to get fucking bodied, looking at you Weiss.
Honestly though considering the fanbases over forgiving nature to the point only aggressive criticism has reached the creators, and their dismissal of it as not listening cause it's just bullying. My hopes for them fixing anything related to the series let alone the collosal fuck up of Yang's entire character and recovery arc, my hopes are fucking dashed. It's pretty goddamn bad when a fan fiction can pay more attention to the set up of Volume 3 and what it meant to a main character than the actual writers did. Which is why they should also just get the guy from Chibi to write for the main series cause at least then someone could proofread their shit before it shipped.
i legit enjoyed all of his games, heavy rain prob most of all, guess i just dont take em seriously and just have fun with it
I'll be super disappointed if they don't LP Detroit
Kojima does everything david cage does and doesn't get called out for it why exactly?
Solid gameplay.
Yeah, Kojima knows he's making a video game, and wants the people to enjoy themselves. Cage never puts the player in mind. He makes "games" that involve no gameplay and hopes will make you sad. David Cage has never designed a game mechanic in his entire career, yet he is still called a game designer... and nobody ever points this out.
If you put your bias aside you can replace "cage" with kojima in what you just said and be absolutely right to a certain degree.
Also good gameplay doesn't just fall on kojima, he had an entire team. His faults as a writer are very apparent and he makes the same "mistakes" that cage does yet doesn't get called out.
So youre saying we should shit on kojima even though we had a blast playing his games because "hurr hes just like david cage"
Its okay to criticize what you like.
is Matt seriously comparing kanye to david cage cause if so holy Christ that is a terrible take
geeber Here's a less terrible take: Matt has a lot of terrible takes, especially when he tries to put the big exclamation point on a conversation.
exactly. i get what he was trying to say with his comparison considering the whole recent drama of kanye being "pro trump" and donald glover with the message of his new song, but to compare kanye to david cage implies that his entire body of work is just awful, which is not the case. also kanye is an infinitely better artist than glover no question.
Stop talking about it and play the demo already guys lol
Why people overating Detroit become human. It's enjoyable and good but not a masterpiece.
I prefer nier gestalt and nier automata story.
on b2s: "it takes about ten episodes before our attempt at fairness starts to chip away"
you mean ten seconds, including intro.
the game's bad, but you screamed at and over it immediately.
"we start off with a few sessions going 'oh that's cool!'"
l m a o no you dont, you immediately started theorizing about what scummy shit was going to happen to jodie, and where the story would break, and blaming the game being a non-linear narrative for not being able to follow it, when it was really due to making literally 100 "failure of a game designer" jokes in an hour. Is the story good? NO. But they also made no attempt to follow it.
ua-cam.com/video/GA_VUoePgrc/v-deo.html
No, really, try watching it.
My favorite part of this conversation might be that Pat, immediately after claiming that they were super fair to Beyond, says he knows he'll be unable to be fair/"reset to zero" to/for Detroit, because he knows the formula. But they talked in depth at the end of IP about how transparent the formula was after Heavy Rain, so it's not as if they "could" have been fair to Beyond.
why does it matter if everything the dude has made is shit?
njd;ojvkljvj I agree it's all been shit. But you can also not lie. I'd rather have them say "he doesn't deserve chances" than pretend they still give him chances when it's blatantly not true.
Okay. Few things.
Firstly, it’s super arrogant of them to keep claiming that people got “fooled” into liking David’s games. Because fuck other opinions, I guess.
Secondly, they’re super wrong about David getting less control as time goes on. He actually had the least amount of control in Beyond, with Indigo being second. With Beyond, Sony forced David to, firstly, completely change the script by adding in the army subplots (He later went on to say that they won’t fund his games if there’s no intense action scenes in them), turning it from a game about a girl connected to a ghost trying to live a normal, peaceful life to that weird hybrid plot, which led to Sony also forcing him to make the plot not linear, for reasons unknown (Some people speculate that if the game was made linear, the game would become too backloaded with action scenes.) So, really, that game was almost NOTHING like how David wanted it.
Indigo Prophecy had a similar issue. Sony promised him a bunch of money, while “reserving the right to take some of it away if they lost faith in the project”. David tried to make the game’s scenes out of order to prevent this, so that he could claim that he needed the rest of the money so that the end product would make sense, but Sony pulled a bunch of his funding out from under his feet anyways. They also forced him to make a “Shaq-esque comic relief character”, which led to Tyler, which further diluted the writing. Heavy Rain was the one that debatably got the least tampered with, but it DID get a bunch of scenes cut, and they also told him that he wasn’t allowed to make the “bonus character episodes DLC” that were planned, as Sony forced him to use the money to put PlayStation Move support in the game. (Remember that hunk of shit? I sure do.)
How much of Detroit was tampered with, we cannot say yet. But, please. Stop spreading lies, guys.
By the by- to give you an idea of how much they cut? The original Indigo Prophecy was supposed to be a 4-disk game, styled like a TV mini-series.
Indigo Prophecy is now a 1 disk game with no TV style.
Yeah. Real dick move by Sony.
Also, them saying they “tried to be fair to Beyond” is beyond laughable (pun unintended.) Their FIRST EPISODE had them overlook a bunch of shit, laugh at unfunny scenes, and be overall douchebags.
