How could I forget the Theory of a Deadman soundtrack. When I first saw the sandbag scene with my bestie we cried. We sit with the gallery open just to listen to cool ToaD (Theory of a Deadman) tracks. Fuck Spotify
This game is the genesis of all of Cage's writing tropes and sins. - Interesting Vertical slice mystery - Multiple playable characters one being a cop - pointless forced romance because boy and girl need to be together - weird racism and poor depictions of the mentally ill - the noble homeless - kids as props
Loved the insanity of this game for years and watching the RTVS crew experience it was great. Always remember folks, the point of the game, despite all the weird plots is to slam dunk a autistic child into disco lava to learn the secrets of the universe.
"Ignoring the QTE when you're obviously hallucinating" might actually be the most clever idea a David Cage game has ever had. Of course, when the entire rest of the experience is such utter dogshit, it's hard to want to give credit to the little things.
I wish it made sense though. The entirety of the house attacking him scene was a hallucination, yet if you fail those QTEs Lucas kills himself. Same with the bugs, in a previous scene. I don't get how the player is supposed to figure out ignoring the bugs THIS time won't kill him, when it does every other time
Cage is on the cusp of a passible writer, like he has ideas that are good, but his ego and shittyness has to infect it all. Detroit for all the shit is like 1/3rd (give or take) a good game, connor and hank are fun, markus has some really good scenes, kara.......the actors were great. everything else.........not so much.
"cusp of a plausible writer" is honestly the best description i have seen. some of these games have really cool basic concepts, but he completely goes off the rails and loses the original plot everytime, (+adds a bunch of uncomfortable shit) so it feels like a completely different game by the end
Fun fact for anyone who doesn't know: If you ever wondered why the last part of the game felt so like, quick with so many sudden revelations and reveals. That's because Quantic Dream at the time was genuinely running out of money to make the game and thus, everything David Cage wanted to add to the story had to be cut out. Lord knows what he wanted to add to the game.
@@venusfrommyshows Real life simon-says QTE for every animator during the 7 months that the sequence took to finish. making the same expressions as lucas whenever they noticed an error
Genuinely hilarious that Tyler just completely disappears from the story lol. Bro did essentially nothing important to the plot and then leaves. David cage truly is the writer of all time
I love how this is the one game where Scorpy got the good ending without trying. In all the other ones, he immediately got the bad ends for ALL the characters
I was gonna say "I forgot about racism and sexism so I thought you were talking about autism" But then I remembered that this game tried to handled that too for some reason
after watching the last 3 vids, i think david cage is just afraid of weather. any kind weather it doesnt matter. its scary to him and he made it all of our problems
somebody mentioned it in chat early on, but in case scorpy doesn’t get to it: there’s an “easter egg” in this game where david cage dances with a nude model of Carla, the female cop.
It's my favorite because it exposes to what degree David Cage really is an absolute hack. Like, despite having an entire mechanic dedicated to "Mental Elf" and managing it for the main characters, when time comes to depict the actually mentally unwell, the game wastes no time treating them like bloodthirsty velociraptors who would apparently kill a woman for literally no reason.
Anyone else here an old “Switcher/Super Best Friends Play” fan? I was for a long time, starting at their machinima days. So this group of friends and their vibe and commentary feels super familiar to my old favorite channel. Appreciate these guys to no end
Yeah I know what you mean, I used to watch a lot of the compilations people would make of their LPs. It's the reason I started making these videos because it was the kind of thing I really love watching.
When they were talking about not putting the behind the scenes mocap into games, it reminded me that the recent RE games have the behind the scenes in them and I’m very happy about that
The only reason im excited for the quantic dreams star wars game to come out, not because I think Scorpy should buy and play it, nor do I think it will be good, but because I wanna track how many of the David Cage original writing/directing sins survive from Fahrenheit to Eclipse
i wanna see the 3 character gameplay swapping at the WORST times, i wanna see one of the Star Wars be a cop, i wanna see weird voyeuristic naked lady scene, i especially wanna see a weirdly specific david cage accidental bigotry
the thing that’s so funny about this game is how fast and how hard it goes off the rails. it could’ve just been a subpar game about a guy who has hallucinations that cause him to kill someone, then okay, sure, he sometimes has visions of the future okay whatever. then BAM evil internet beings BAM weird depictions of autistic people BAM homeless people cult BAM worlds funniest psychic fight scene when they said the game went insane at the end i was expecting like. the main character having a hallucination of a world ending event or something, NOT… ALL THAT. also, another really funny thing about this game is that i tried to watch this highlights video 3 separate times, and each time i fell asleep before any of the weird stuff past the visions happened. so imagine my horrified surprise when i woke up one day after falling asleep with this video autoplaying, and realized that the funny game about a guy who killed a man in a diner bathroom had a flying matrix fight scene.
Ive rewatched this dozens of times in the last, like, month. Learning of this game’s existence has fundamentally altered my brain chemistry. Something about this video lives rent free in my mind. It’s so enthralling in its insanity.
It’s explained by the German historian at the museum (it goes by super fast so I don’t blame folks for missing it) but Oracles need a proxy in order to enact sacrifices.
God I'm so glad that Foster Fridays have been about scorpy's david cage saga, gotta love a good wayner highlight but I've rewatched these vods so many times I'm thrilled to have the supercuts to mix in now :o)
On one hand I do wish I got to experience playing this game myself for the first time, on the other hand I think the controls and gameplay would have driven me mad. Scorpy is so strong for finishing this game like actually thank you scoopy
i had this on in the background while drawing something and when she picked up the yoyo i thought she said "it's completely yoyonic". it took me a solid 5 seconds to realize thats not what she said. idk if this reflects on me or the game
Called it. I love this game so much. With the other David Cage games, I'm constantly thinking about how it could be so much better. But this one, it's so bad and fantastic the whole way through, I love it
This is the only good Quantic Dream game and it’s because David Cage didn’t know how video games worked at all. When he kinda figured it out they stopped being FUNNY
the interesting thing about watching scorpy play this one is that he pretty much just plays it normally. for other david cage games he has to actively do something funny like mess up the qtrs, but indigo prophecy is such a masterpiece he doesn’t even have to do anything more. crazy game
YESSS MY FAVORITE SCOOPY STREAMS HELL YEAH this game truly rewired my brain forever. I had just gotten my wisdom teeth out when i first watched through the vods
This game is funny and all, but I'm distracted by the fact that *nearly every character is voiced by a Code Lyoko voice actor* Seriously, look it up it's awesome, and you can kinda hear it too in some of them. It's kinda heartwarming that they stuck together through each of their gigs.
i hold a special kind of resentment towards this game because it was released on the same day i was born, not only that but this damn game is about autistic people and i'm autistic.
YEAAAHHH thank you for the highlights Foster!! This game is one of the most ridiculous games I have ever seen and I'm glad it's been commemorated in an edit :>
hey, just wanted to say this video has helped me a lot. i have really bad insomnia and i usually need something playing so i can sleep, and this video has been one of my go-tos for a while now. thank you for the good rest foster
i can't believe this game turned into Tron 2.0 near the end. that's crazy also Mike's shocked and bewildered gasp when they discovered the autism plot is so funny. the only reasonable reaction to that information tbh
1:29:22: "darkerdescent: omg i love this "cats vs dogs 2" reference" OTHE RPEOPLE HAVE SEEN THAT MOVIE??? THAT WA SMY FAVORITE MOVIE WHEN I WAS A KID. I RENTED IT FROM FAMILY VIDEO EVERY WEEK AND MY DAD GOT SICK OF DOING THAT OS HE PIRATED IT FOR ME
i like to imagine that lactose intolerant people are just worse off in this world because they can't drink milk
This is David Cage at his best. PUREST form. Insane QTEs and nigh unbeatable helicopter scene. White guy voicing black guy

This game is the genesis of all of Cage's writing tropes and sins.
- Interesting Vertical slice mystery
- Multiple playable characters one being a cop
- pointless forced romance because boy and girl need to be together
- weird racism and poor depictions of the mentally ill
- the noble homeless
- kids as props
- theres a dude who is completely normal but sometimes blacks out and murders people
- you have to push someone around in a wheelchair
Don't forget what omicron started:
-It's dogshit
@@LtSprinkulzWewcome in Omicrowne
- new enemy factions keep being introduced and previous ones forgotten about
And the cops being the least badly wrote or the most simpathetic (it can be only one)

IT'S ALREADY TOO MUCH!!!!
genuinely kinda sad that was the case. this game is so unintentionally funny and now I know we were robbed of so much more unhinged bullshit
Foster Fridays improve my mental state as much as 4 glasses of milk
enough to counter roughly one third of a murder i think
Genuinely hilarious that Tyler just completely disappears from the story lol. Bro did essentially nothing important to the plot and then leaves. David cage truly is the writer of all time
He had sex, played basketball, then died. What a life
@@amberwingtundrawing776I hope they say the same of me when I go.

Wdym he made the important choice of abandoning his girlfriend for no reason and immediately not being in the story anymore
@@calregretsthis all the world's a stage,
I love how this is the one game where Scorpy got the good ending without trying. In all the other ones, he immediately got the bad ends for ALL the characters

But then I remembered that this game tried to handled that too for some reason
Botulism
after watching the last 3 vids, i think david cage is just afraid of weather. any kind weather it doesnt matter. its scary to him and he made it all of our problems
There is now three david cage games where your character can die of hypothermia in the winter.
something that isn’t talked about this game that i think about often is the ui. its so bad its iconic to me. like if something iconic could be bad
Infamous UI of terribleness
Legends of Bad
They've come to arrest me!
Not if I freeze to death!
My favourite part!
This edit boosts my Mental Elf meter by 40 points
wow, thats 8 milks
The last section of the game is unreal and had me dying, funiest of the Cage games
somebody mentioned it in chat early on, but in case scorpy doesn’t get to it:
there’s an “easter egg” in this game where david cage dances with a nude model of Carla, the female cop.
I think the rabbit that left this egg must be locked in a tomb

Fun fact! The voice actor of Lucas, David Gasman, also does the voice of Tyler!
..that’s not fun
this video gave me +10 to my mental meter.

Yeah I know what you mean, I used to watch a lot of the compilations people would make of their LPs. It's the reason I started making these videos because it was the kind of thing I really love watching.
Watching this stream like this really brings home how this game's plot feels like 5 different movies stitched together
It’s every cool movie David Cage saw stitched poorly together
Tyler looks like RuPaul when he was playing a straight guy in But I'm A Cheerleader to me and I can't stop thinking about it each time I see him
This game starts off like heavy rain and then turns into a mix of the matrix and the mystery of the druids game.
He's the angriest gamer you've ever heard...
Angry enough..... To KILL?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!

The multiple camera angles for EVERYTHING is so david cage. Browsing my computer so cool i need 3 shots of it
reminder, david cage has done the people who dont know each other for five minutes fall in love multiple times
and its always creepy!!!
The controller issue isn’t even really the fault of David Cage but it’s a wonderful little shit-cherry on top of it all.
Ive rewatched this dozens of times in the last, like, month. Learning of this game’s existence has fundamentally altered my brain chemistry. Something about this video lives rent free in my mind. It’s so enthralling in its insanity.
Maybe David Cage only eats nutrition pellets and that's why all the food props in his games are wrong
He eats gravel
Just ate some macaroni and I am so excited for this heightened experience. I feel like I'll finally understand the David Cage vision. Blessed day.
After watching the story play out multiple times, I still don't know why he killed that guy in the beginning.
oh my god you're right why did he kill that guy
@@rainphee I don't understand the point of the inciting incident 💀💀💀
I think he got possessed by one of the weird light creatures to use the guy as a sacrifice??? maybe??????
It’s explained by the German historian at the museum (it goes by super fast so I don’t blame folks for missing it) but Oracles need a proxy in order to enact sacrifices.

So you know how
SO YOU KNOW HOW

These streams had me DYING when I first watched. I hope David Cage never makes another game for the sake of my sanity and world peace
God I'm so glad that Foster Fridays have been about scorpy's david cage saga, gotta love a good wayner highlight but I've rewatched these vods so many times I'm thrilled to have the supercuts to mix in now :o)
i fucking cried out of laughter at the mid air battle scene
This may be one of the funniest streams known to man
Looks like we got here before the oracle and the purple clan.
On one hand I do wish I got to experience playing this game myself for the first time, on the other hand I think the controls and gameplay would have driven me mad. Scorpy is so strong for finishing this game like actually thank you scoopy
I wonder if in the future they'll do Omikron and finally fall into the abyss of madness and despair that is the Cageverse
Oh, this is the Chosen Foster Friday...

it's completely yo p*ssy, but it helps me think

Called it. I love this game so much. With the other David Cage games, I'm constantly thinking about how it could be so much better. But this one, it's so bad and fantastic the whole way through, I love it
if the murder scene at the beginning had been moved to the middle of the game as a flashback, i think the mystery wouldve been much more interesting
there needs to be like a film study esque college class for david cage’s games because HOW did he keep making games like this
They need to remake this game without changing any gameplay or cutscenes and just improving the models and graphics. It would be great.
This is the only good Quantic Dream game and it’s because David Cage didn’t know how video games worked at all. When he kinda figured it out they stopped being FUNNY

thank you again mr foster. i am having a very rough week and your compilations always help. keep up the fantastic work

YES! GOD YES!! MENTAL ELF!!!!
bless thee foster, just got done watching the full vods but i think i’ll watch this too, a toast and hearty thanks to you.
If you had told me that this was made by the same guy who made Detroit: Become Human, I wouldn't have believed you.
Holy shit, I've never seen this game before, thank you oh so much for these highlighs from Scorpy and the gang
this all could have been avoided if lucas had just gotten psychiatric help for his schizophrenia
That he hasn't yet, is the most realistic part
Hell yes this is one of my favorite Scorpy streams, a great way to end the semester yaaaaaaaay
another banger edit to fall asleep to. this one i actually kept on while i was sleeping instead of turning it off, so 10/10
Did they ever explain why they lived on a military base? Was one of their parents a scientist or something?
