Yes. We know that Tom Holland is not actually Agent Connor. However, we did not know that was a hot dog. In our defense...who holds a hot dog vertically?
As many other comments have stated,everything that you expected from this game,can be found in “Nier:Automata”,which is a masterpiece in its own right,so maybe you should play it after this for contrast with the themes you claimed lacking here
@@dafire9634 you mean booty simulator?
Christ you are fantastic. I hope you understand just how remarkable it is that you managed to do something in the gaming segment of youtube that is actually unique and new, when the market had become so unbelievably saturated with basically the same old shit. Fantastic series.

barbaric monsters hold hot dogs vertically
Honestly?!
This game is really divisive. Shelby sees a burrito, I see a hotdog. Much controversy
A painful but important debate, thanks for being brave 👏👏👏
I saw a hot dog as well
But was the hot dog black and blue, or white and gold?
Should your Boyfriend play as A2.....or 2E-errr 2B?
But they are both sandwiches, right?
“The gameplay is awful! Straight the worst, the game is a 10/10” 😂
They would love her over at IGN
'It has a little something for everyone' - 9.7/10
"It must be experienced! But the gameplay is awful and they don't do anything interesting with the entire concept" Like... wtf how is that an endorsement? xD
time to tell dunkey
Reminder: this is not a review of the game. it's a review of watching someone play the game.... so this score makes perfect sense...
I read the title as “Should Your Boyfriend Become Human” and I was very confused.
Should Your Human Become Boyfriend

The soundtrack is amazing for this game. I love this game even with its problems. Connor and Hanks story was really great.
I literally got chill down my bone when Hank decides to... you know.
@kshamwhizzle everyone is weirdly invested in Connor. Jacksepticeye spends his entire playthrough fanboying Connor. 😂
Do you happen to know the name of the soundtrack that starts at 7:20 in the video until 8:00
I was pleasently surprised by this game, the visuals were stunning, and the bit where you sit down to play a piano in the game for the first time... that gave me goosebumps.

Girlfriend reviews:
Come for the memes
Stay for the surprisingly insightful analysis
Always. This lady is my favorite reviewer!
And she only grows more insightful and makes more memes with each game
Not that insightful tbh. She's hyper focused on linking narrative to history and missing the point because of it
I'm just so amazed at the random clips you pull up to enhance your talking points. Like where do you find all that? And it fit's perfectly
PINKAS the social commentary parts were from red letter media
Most of the AI clips were from ex machina, a very high quality movie about... AI.
I KNOW WHAT THAT IS! It's from redlettermedia, check their youtube channel for more ENDLESS TRASH!
@@nathane5287 I love the videos those TALENTLESS HACKS keep putting out. Can't wait for their MARVEL SHILL FANBOY critique of Endgame.
It's probably a part of their real dialogue, tbh. My husband and I consistently talk in quotes whether that be movies, tv, or random internet movies we've seen in the past. Something we are discussing will remind us of a pulp culture item and we'll say the line. That's what's happening here. I bet when they discuss and she writes the videos, these pulp culture references come up and then it gets put in to emphasize a point or create comedy.
For Example: "Hollupaminnit" is now in our rotating catalog of references. Haha!
Edit: cause I spelled Hollupaminnit incorrectly. Please forgive. XD
you know what game DOES have good commentary on androids and what it means to be human?...
Nier Automata
Anna Rose up u go !
Oh that would be so good plus they can have all the sexy jokes with 2B
Yes. I liked Detroit, but she is right. The game doesn't tackled the AI dilemma the way it should be. Nier Automata is one of the best that tackled existential crisis. It's so thought-provoking that literally dozens of videos are already made to analyze the underlying philosophies it implies. Easily one of my fave PS4 game of all time.
Lmaoo, im guessing you posted this before she posted it and thats hilarious, hey. It worked lol

The points you've brought up are realy interesting. I'm quite curious about how'd the game turn out to be had it not been such a big story, but maybe a more personal one. Less saving the world, and more understanding it.
That would've been great, actually
I don't understand the question. A woman trying to secure a child is not personal? A dude abandoned and left for dead finding his place at an unexpected community is not personal? All of the bigger questions were asked within the boundaries of things anybody could experience if taken to the rock bottom of society, often against their will.
it would still be bad since David Cage is a horrible writer...
@@taehwanpark303
Did you not read the part that says "less saving the world"?
I loved Heavy Rain much more than detroit become human because it was more grounded and focused on a single serial killer mystery. I wish David Cage would write another crime noir type game
I found Conner and Kara’s storylines very engaging and full of emotion. I didn’t ever really feel connected to Marcus. But maybe Kara’s story resonates with me so much because I have a daughter myself and projected my own desire to protect my real daughter into Kara’s pretend daughter.
Same here. Cried multiple times.
Personally, I feel Kara's story is the weakest.
Don't get me wrong, I love Kara, but you remove her from the game, and nothing in the overall plot changes. Connor's and Markus' plotlines actually end up intertwining and merge part way through the game. But Kara's just off doing her own thing. Feels very disconnected from the rest of the game.
Also the "Alice is an android" plot twist is stupid.
We need 3 shirts:
"Hollap a minute"
"Salami"
And "bye link, bye zelda, bye spiderm..😂"

@@BrunoClausi I liked Heavy Rain way more.. That got me emotional AF.
If they didn’t like Detroit I have a feeling they won’t like Heavy Rain or Beyond Two Souls

Beyond Two Souls is very good. Heavy Rain is a Trainwreck. Detroit is great. I don't think I've met anyone with the same opinion!

Wasn't ready for that much Nostalgia so quickly
The weird part for me was why would we assume an Android would want to be human? We're always like "This robot is really smart, but its final form should add all the negatives from a chemical survival system used by monkeys".
We're just utterly incapable of not anthropomorphising things.
Actually a thought-provoking comment on UA-cam?! FOH
(spoilers for Spiderman ps4)
It's like what doc ock said in Spiderman ps4 said it was something like "Why should the most human form be our limit" while he was making his robot arms.
We are just that arrogant
Underrated comment of the year goes to!
humans wish to be god, so android would love to be humans, cause that's the only thing they can't do...
and everyone want what they can't have
I beg you:
Play “Until Dawn!”
I think that would be so hilarious 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I had been suggesting that and this for a long and I had honestly given up on this so maybe that means Until Dawn is coming soon.
Yes! At least Until Dawn had no illusions on what it was trying to be writing-wise, which is campy, B-movie horror, unlike the pretentious mess that is the Quantic Dream games, always taking themselves far too seriously with their stories, and coming up severely short.
Unfortunately they made like a 1/3 review for Until Dawn
I played twice and got 2 very different endings for every character. Definitely a game to play more than once
You'd want it to be with the price of it.

@@GoBlueHTB got to admit, I've mever played it! Just thought it sounded like a very niche game to bring up!
Table 53 it is. I don’t think Lion King 1.5 was all that popular, and the only people who have played that game had the DVD and were so bored that they wandered through the extras section of the DVD and stumbled upon the game.

1) Every word you just said is wrong.
2) I wasn't referring to the mechanics, (though they add to the experience) I was talking about the tension of making impactful decisions. Because of all the endings, you can't treat this game like anything else in the genre.

They just started this channel not even a year ago. It will probably be at 1 mil
Marcus’ story was about liberating slavery on androids.
Connor’s story was about loyalty and becoming of free will and choosing what is right and wrong.
And kara’s is about finding love and affection which is a very human emotion.

@DejaVoodooDoll
The very word racism is an oxymoron by itself and Holocaust details are debatable
@DejaVoodooDoll completely missed the point. Then again, not like much was expected of you to begin with. Try harder.
@DejaVoodooDoll not decisive opinions at all but the hamfisted use of them in the story is immersion breaking since you're no longer thinking of the games story but "oh hey that's that thing that happened".
@DejaVoodooDoll Besides the insult, Jaspin is right in that you just missed the point that the OP is making.
@DejaVoodooDoll You're just being a condescending asshole for no reason at all, dude. Chill out. Besides, I get the point that the dude was trying to make. He didn't say that racism wasn't real or anything like that, he was just trying to say that what's racist for some may not be racist to all. Hell, it's probably not racist at all.
It's funny some people found that ending so powerful, I am one of them. I understand your button pressing issues but I really didn't find that as a negative. I'm glad to see something different in the industry, and finally a game where your decisions actually alter the plot. Really enjoyed this game, and loved discovering the different endings. I feel like maybe because you shared the experience with someone else you may have been too keen on making jokes instead of enjoying the experience.
Other than this, I've really enjoyed your content, and I can't wait for Wife Reviews! 😂
I approve your message.
I felt like that ending the "war" was extremely underwhelming and weird. They straight up heard their messages and STILL decided to try and take all the androids out, and then right when they were about to kill the last ones... The androids singing... (or kissing??) makes them all be like. WAIT!! This is definitely one of my favorite games every but i 100% agree with this review.. Which is really weird lmfao
@@psycholove it's been a while, but that final kiss was pretty powerful to me🤷♂️ showed that the Android's were more than just machines
for my two endings, the heart breaking parts for me were related to Cara and the little girl and not being able to save them both.. totally broke me for a day.. also got the awesome connor and hank bro ending after the credits too. love that final scene. :)
Different he says.
You guys are one of the best video game review channels on yt bc of your in depth, honest, hands-on, and entertaining analysis of games. Also that AVGN reference tho!
That AVGN reference had my like "Hol up a minute?"
Excellent (actual) review of a game that has obvious flaws, yet remains so compelling. I totally agree that the Connor and Hank portions are the standout parts, and a Bladerunner-esque interactive fiction centered around Connor apprehending androids while having an existential crisis would have been not only a more focused project (the three perspectives did a disservice to the game's pacing), but would leave more room for questions about humanity and identity without the historical plagiarism.
Great phrase btw, "historical plagiarism", gotta steal that! :p jk
I love how your progression went from a girlfriend's perspective on watching people playing video games. To now one of my favorite voices in all of video game reviews. I can see the effort you put into these videos. You're awesome keep doing you.
Games where your character choices inform the development of plot and outcome of the game and lead to watercooler conversations already exist: they are called (tabletop) RPGs.
The people in the game are stupid, why not make Android cat girls?
*_I'D_* pay $900 for that!
there are even sex robots in the game, but the game is subject to ESRB ratings and to avoid "AO" the designers still have to cover the curves of those models. nobody would mind clothes in the situations, except ESRB :p
the "Kara" trailer clearly states every android is useful for sexual intercourse, but the game itself is puritan about.
@@rivenoak it's funny how the sex robots in the club is look lest attractive than some maid robot

The scripts and readings in this channel are awesome! I actually and genuinely laugh at each video. Never get tired of hearing her, "Hol'up a minute!"
3:20 Finally, someone can see Bryan Dechart/Connor as the puberty hit Tom Holland!🤣🤣
I love it when you get more analytical. The title and comedic tone of your channel entails that your here to provide entertainment over criticism. But when you get critical, it becomes clear that your more than just an absent minded backseat gamer. Your are paying attention. Your not clueless. And you recognize when a price of art needs improvement. Dont hold back on being critical. That would be like holding back your intelligence.
Right? Like, holy hell. I loved and hated the game for the same reasons, but couldn't put together the exact reasons why. My home girl did that in less than 8 minutes.
I kind of disliked this particular video because it deviates significantly from the channel's premise. She hardly even mentioned her BF in this and that's kind of the point. I know that these are just barely hidden actual reviews of games but still, that backseat gamer element is essential.
_Her boyfriend is a professional editor and he does pretty much everything even maybe the script._
Maybe not the whole scripts but yeah, she makes plenty of references to things and events that a casual gamer like her would likely never even have heard of. That's probably her BF's contribution.
A good game would ask you "Are these androids human?"
This games is just like " But they're human! They're definitely human! Did you get that they're human yet?"
How can a good game ask you "are they humans" while letting you role play as them.
The only way that comes to me is role playing as humans which in this kind of story would give a whole other experience and a fairly cliche one.
@@DanDSoul frame the player's choices in the story as the programming, and then as the game progresses, if the story wants to make them seem more human take more control from the player. You could even have a climax where a player android is placed in a situation where they have to make one of two hard choices, save one of two people or something similar and if the player chooses the one that the android has less rapport with the android can deny the player - the analogy for their programming - and show self-aware actions and thought.
Or explore sentience in how the androids respond to situations based on their pre-built programming versus things they've learned.
Those are just two possible ways off the top of my head.
RLM is one of those things that will always make me laugh, no matter the circumstance. And your videos are getting closer and closer to being in the same realm of transcendence.
Love your channel more every video. Your videos I look forward to the most every time you do amazing work!

I see you putting in clips from Mass Effect, but when is the review of the original trilogy coming?
You know, Mass Effect did a good job of letting you choose between android's sentience or not. The relationship between Joker and Edi, or between the Geth and Quarians. It would seem this game might've been better taking a queue from that venerable series.
Seriously, the original trilogy is a must play

Gonna say what many people probibly will. Nier Automata is a good "what if androids thought like humans" story. And the game isn't bad either
Except, it's kind of more about themes existentialism and what it means to be human, than a thought experiment on what sentiment androids would be like. XD
@Gladissims agreed. The game is not about androids but about humans, the androids are just allegories, and the real question is not: "what's the difference between a machine and a human?", but the more interesting: "what's the difference between an automaton and a living being?". Spoiler alert: the answer isn't between having flesh in the gut instead of iron.
@@baptistelasbats3952 Huh... I agreed with you up until the last point. XD To me the game has always been about what it means to be human, and alive. o 3 o
@Gladissims Basically I see that I hadn't red everything correctly. I agree with you on everything, except on "what it means to be human" :).
To see how much parallels can be drawn between androids/machines in the game and real humans, I think that Taro was telling that human adopting the behaviors/beliefs of his characters could be called "automata" as well, and that the only difference that matters isn't between human and machines but more between automata and living beings: being human isn't equal to being alive.
The fact that there is no human in the game to serve as a living model for the robots seems to support this idea to me.
@@baptistelasbats3952 Huh, I mean if that's what you took away from it that's great. XD Personally I interpreted the whole thing a bit differently though. Especially with all the references to famous philosophers who were concerned with existentialism especially. o 3 o I mean... One of the pods is literarily named (0)42 xD

Your whole review was amazing! I never really thought of it the way you did. Comparing it to the movie (forgot the name) was amazing cause that movie definitely does an amazing job!
I loved this game! Great review, though I found that the quicktime events were a good way of keeping it cinematic while raising the stakes and keeping you engaged. After you said it however, I agree that a game purely focused on the dialogue elements, fleshing out the decision making process and creating more implications for your choices would do this type of game better justice. Those were my favourite parts, winning over jericho's people, getting alice to trust me, and befriending hank are the most meaningful memories I have from this game. Albeit that my heart was pounding as I frantically mashed buttons to try and stop future cops from killing my 3 android besties, I think those sort of quicktime events are better suited in the way that Spiderman employed them. This review is awesome!!!
I think you’re given more choices if you deliberately fail some quick time events, the actual binary decisions are pretty sparse
0:05 Holy shit I remember playing this on DVD as a kid
dat montage, love it, nice video !
I found this channel just a few days ago and honestly these are the best reviews ever.
I could have used a "Trigger Warning" for Legion. I wasn't ready for the feels.
I like that you've 100% claimed the Borderlands macaroni hat as your own. Randy Pitchford gonna be like 'hol up a minit'
Watched your Souls review, stopped halfway through and waited to watch it when my girl came home, everything was on point and so relatable...in fact it was so relatable I've started looking for more games that she can enjoy watching me play as I'm a hardcore soulsborne kind of player. She knows death sounds so well i hear giggles from other rooms now.
We started with Horizon and she became hooked on the story and the speech trees, moved on to FF15 where when she missed an important bit I'd give her a recap.
Gaming has been a part of my life since the early 80's and I've never once, until i saw the direct similarities in that video of yours, ever gave though to the person that wasn't behind the controls experience. And now after that eye opener we look at what game is next together and she far more likely to take the controls herself now.
I know it's been long winded, but, essentially i just want to say thank you for shedding light on a part of our relationship (and for others as well i imagine) that while wasn't a problem area, turned the "our time" into more "us" time.
Thanks for the videos guys, keep em coming and from us to you, we wish you well with the channel and your "us" moments as well.
One of your best reviews in my opinion. Just pitch perfect. Keep killing it!
Guardians of the Galaxy with quick-time events is actually a thing, and it's damn good.
I love how you edit your videos, and your voice is really sweet ! Keep up the great work !
Fantastic as always!! You guys rock
RLM references... Alright you got me.
Liked and Subscribed.
Your editing skills and sardonic and analytical humour is what make this so refreshing and pleasant to watch.
Continue what you both are doing, its great! Thank you.
Excellent review, felt more like a "slavery is bad" type thing than an exploration into artificial intelligence, disappointing really..
I know this will be very controversial, but the thing about slavery is that it wasn't bad. The reason why all human civilisations in the past had slaves was because the ones who didn't have slaves got destroyed by the ones who had them. I.e. slavery was so good that it meant being exterminated without them. It was only with the invention of industrialization that slavery started to become a bad thing, since things more profitable to invest in, such as machines, started to appear.
@@kasp7674 holy shit even for youtube standards this is an insane comment. I feel horrible for the people around you.
@@twodotso ...why? The guy is saying that slavery was very important for the prosperity of a land in history, like cannibalism can be very important in surviving Arctic ice. Nobody is saying that it's good now.
@@kasp7674 I'd say it is always bad ... for the oppressed side. But I understand what you wanted to address.
@@kasp7674 Do you seriously believe the critic leveraged against slavery is its lack of efficiency? No one argues forcing fellow human beings to work for you under threat of torture or death is not a somewhat efficient way of gettings things made and done. The problem is that it is absolutely morally abhorrent and a denial of the humanity we all share to siphon the sweat, blood and dignity of other humans who are every bit as sentient and sensitive as you to produce work for you while they get *nothing* out of it. That is what is bad with slavery. And it absolutely, totally and irremediably is and always was.
What? I was surprised you did not like it.. Me and my friends were in love, each of us 4 finished the game, one different story each, it was awesome! Love this type of games
oh, the game has ~99 endings AFAIK and it's a count of those endings only with all 3 characters present in endgame. the vid of those endings alone was >4h long and it is on YT of course. :D
GFRev, I'm really glad you made this video. It really brought out the limitations of the choose your own adventure game. Makes me wonder what Telltale was in the process of making.
Dang such a good video!! Well done!!!
