So I'm not crazy right? Cage is definitely taking famous actor's faces and tweaking them a bit to avoid a lawsuit. Like Kara is definitely just Jennifer Lawrence. And that one dude is just knock off Drake.

Going directly to Alice's room and choosing to run allows you to leave without Todd noticing or a minor chase sequence. Todd's forgiveness event only occurs if you make it to the bus terminal because Todd happens to be there.

This is as silly and ham-fisted as you'd expect from a David Cage game, but pretty fun. Big step up from Beyond: Two Souls, anyway. The Markus segments are extremely boring so far though (I'm about halfway through the game).

Can Kara die and have her plot thread end as early as the chapter where Todd goes apeshit and she runs away with Alice?

I got like the worst possible ending. I was trying to roleplay each character and what they would do rather than what I as a player would do. Markus tries to be peaceful and is gunned down. Kara get's Luther killed by the cop, Kara and Alice get loving smoked in the android recycling center, all the androids in the world basically get killed, the android rebellion super loving fails. Conner kills Hank, Kills North, Conner reports back to cyberlife and they have a new model to replace him and he is taken apart and decommissioned.

The game definitely lives up to the promise of meaningful decisions, having just looked up a few of the paths I missed. Entire long scenarios are locked behind decisions and that's pretty rad. Clancy Brown really steals the show and Lance Henriksen did surprisingly well too. What did everyone have Markus paint? I chose "Humanity" and "Empathy" and he painted two sets of hands, human and android Also how do you keep Lance alive? Also goddamn it I guessed the biggest "twist" way before it happened. precision fucked around with this message at 21:23 on May 26, 2018 |

I'm on my new game plus I guess you would call it and I'm noticing things playing out a lot differently. I would say this is by far David Cages best game but also it's still one of those so if you aren't down for that this won't change your mind. I'm gonna rate it David Cage/10.

I really liked it. I deliberately hosed almost everything up and made the world awful, so I look forward to trying the opposite on the next go round. Definitely some times I rolled my eyes at the writing or was just straight up confused by what happened. Like when Kara drives a distance, then later is at the ship back in Detroit. So she drove hours out to this little house only to drive hours back? Seemed weird. Also in the chapter right after you have to find somewhere to spend the night, How did Kara find out about the house with the psychopath? I missed when she was told about it. Did Ralph tell her?

Does the game have any kind of shortcut features once you've beaten it? It seems to encourage finding all the extra paths but some of those are way at the end of a chapter, behind a lot of actual busy work. I can't imagine finding all the painting variations if you had to play all the way through for each one.

A random droid grabbed her arm and told her about him soon after they got off the bus: As flawed as the game is, they werent kidding about your choices. I got a very different ending so far. Kara and Alice escaped to Canada by smuggler boat but Alice and Luther got shot and died right at the end. I played Connor as a ruthless machine so he threw Hank off the rooftop, found Jericho by breaking into the evidence room, sneaked into the end demonstrations and killed Markus point blank. Although Markus did broker peace for the droids and the not Hillary president ended the stand-off on a hopeful note. The rest of Markuss droid friends survived. Also, remember to escape to the main menu once in a while. The blonde android there sometimes does unsettling things.

When you use the chapter select, you can start at any mid-chapter checkpoints as well. I don't think you actually have to get every painting variation or similar things for 100% completion though. Like, if you choose to Play Chess, whether you win, lose or draw it counts the entire activity as being done for the purposes of completion %. At least that's how it seems on my second playthrough.

The spend the night one has an answer. The garbage man told her when they shook hands. It's a terrible answer but it's an answer. The writing in the game is all kinds of uneven. Some of it's pretty good but a lot of it I found myself quoting Deadpool 2. Also Clancy Brown for best actor in a video game 2018. The man chews through scenery like a pro. Wonderful performance from him. Sadly it felt like his facial animation was a bit simplistic because of the beard. You missed out on the finer details that a lot of other characters have. But he seems to have the beard all the time in real life and you aren't going to tell the man to shave.

Yes, sixaxis QTEs are still in, but you can switch game mode to casual and then it will remove all sixaxis stuff. Also gives you time limits that are more tolerable.

They're in but in the path I took there were only 2 or 3 that required tilting the controller. A fair number that require snapping the controller to the side or down but almost no tilting which is good because the detection on tilting suuuuucks

I started the game on experienced but immediately switched to casual when I realized it turns off the guidance lines when examining evidence. I didn't want to waste time on pixel hunts when I don't even know what I should be looking for half the time. Ending question: is it explained on any of the paths who or what ra9 is? Or is it just supposed to be Markus?

Having seen the resistance/military/whatever ending Only thing is I laughed until i cried watching the rousing speech happen in front of a non-animated crowd imagining that "we are people too" speech was being heavily endorsed by people that cheered by standing perfectly still and only moving their mouths because that doesn't look android dehumanising at all So that brought joy

This was a pretty fun game. I'm surprised by how many different options it has in looking at the flowcharts. They need to be able to skip dialogue to encourage the playthroughs though. Clancy Brown is also the best.

Honestly I thought the story was going to go in the direction of RUSSIAN HACKING causing the robot uprising due to the US/Russia conflict going on in the background. Then a news report implies that Russia was affected too and WW3 gets postponed

You can't skip dialogue because it's tied into unique animations as one long movie, and there is a LOT to buffer in advance with how gorgeous the game is. It works in stuff like Mass Effect, because it's just "skip animation/dialogue sequence, start next canned set".

This loving SUCKS. I hit this completely game breaking bug when Kara gets off the bus and nothing seems to fix it. Like, the whole game is hosed. When I got off the bus half the geometry didn't load and I couldn't interact with anything. When I reload she is just walking around the streets but if I push any buttons, I'm magically back on the bus talking to the driver and then she won't exit the bus. I can't even use the chapter select to fix it because I haven't even hit a checkpoint yet.

 Early Kara talk: first time through I didn't even find the gun in todd's room. This time I used it, and later got the option to rob the convenience store. Doing so got one of the best scenes in the game, drat. Kara's actress nails it So yeah I'm gonna say multiple playthroughs should be considered mandatory

Having seen most of the scenes, there are two annoying problems about this game that really stand above the general issues. 1) The entire thing happens over two days, which is just silly. Other than Kara's path you could literally just alter the Markus/Conner dates and the story instantly becomes more reasonable. 2) The worst path is by far the most interesting and written. Edit: In general I'd say it's common for the bad paths to be short, quick, and fast affairs (which to be fair, many of the "bad" death scenes are like that) but actually playing things out in the worst ways possible lead the most creative scenes while many of the best/good path scenes are the bland ones. Markus - Keep alive till the end and play the pacifist card the whole way through until the end when forced to fight. If you play Conner as noted then you pick Conner at the end to kill Markus as everything has collapsed. Also not a terrible option to get Markus killed off just before the end and have the North/Conner robot section play out. Kara - Keep alive with Alice until you the Jericho escape where you need to get captured by having Alice surrender. Play the camp scene through but don't connect up with Alice at the end, she'll suicide and Kara gets the broken walk into oblivion. Most importantly, lets you see the camps and experience that whole segment. Conner - Play the robot card the entire way through. Don't connect at all with your partner, and get yourself killed a few times. You can actually kill yourself off as much as you want (Rupert chase death is worth it for comic value). This gives you the Lt suicide scene and the Markus/Conner fight with the android losing path. Also dodges the incredibly weird and unexplained secret Cyberlife plot. nessin fucked around with this message at 08:24 on May 27, 2018 |
