EDIT: MAJOR ENDING SPOILERS!
Really good analysis on the heavy-handed, contradictory writing of David Cage's game.

10 threads about it is not enough.
I presume this has end game spoilers?
I think I really gotta play through this game before reading into the heavy criticism.
I noticed that too lol
You know you could actually attempt to make an argument about how "No, Detroit Become Human IS a good allegory for race relations, slavery, etc. and treats the subject material with tact" instead of complaining about the fact that people take issue with how the game handles heavy subject matter.
If you talking about Chloe return. It's in the OT patch notes.I don't think we ever had a thread about Detroit getting a patch to allow you to acquire a maybe slave post-game so it probably needed a few more threads :shrug:
What time period was this mystical era where artists, people who inherently respond to the things happening around them and elsewhere, were just "using a template for structural reasons." Because it sure as hell isn't the modern day or anything from the past 50 years. So you must be some sort of time traveler. Also yea, if you're gonna use loaded imagery, you have to deal with the consequences of the statements you make and/or inadvertently make.Everything has to make a statement. I remember once upon a time when you could use something as a template simply for structural reasons.
Stop thread whining and grow some skin.
You are free to report instead of complaining about my comment.
What's the point of Detroit's story anyway? The game doesn't say anything new about its narrative themes nor does it handle them particularly well. To me it felt like some kind of overproduced empathy exercise. With the androids being so excessively tortured and the moral of the story so overt I had to wonder if the game wasn't actually aimed at teenagers rather than adults almost.
It's a poorly told story with a bad allegory for race, this is breaking down why. You're way too hard here.The point is to have an interactive adventure game that some will find engaging. It isnt a manifesto.
Good video. Though I feel so many tend to neglect the song option at the end of the game where Markus sings Hold On. It's such a laughable but equally awful moment and suddenly madam president's heart grows 3 sizes bigger that day all because of a spiritual.

Then maybe you shouldn't make an adventure game around for patronizing to people of color and people in general who experience various types of prejudice along with profiting off of it that doesn't actually serve to help them in any regard and actively does the oppositeThe point is to have an interactive adventure game that some will find engaging.

Its not a good video game, and if its tackling subjects that I experience in my day to day because the color of my skin poorly, I and others will shit on it.And that's ok... it's a video game, and a good one, it's not some kind of documentary that tackle more than what the genre already talked about, it's funny that everyone wants to prove something with Cage game when 99% of games have worst or equal story in the industry.

You're admitting the game's story is bad, yet there's nothing else to the game but it's story. How is the game still good to you then?everyone wants to prove something with Cage game when 99% of games have worst or equal story in the industry.

David Cage games are just about story so the story being bad is kind of noteworthyAnd that's ok... it's a video game, and a good one, it's not some kind of documentary that tackle more than what the genre already talked about, it's funny that everyone wants to prove something with Cage game when 99% of games have worst or equal story in the industry.
