"chains are in their brains." It doesn't have a brain, it has a chip. It's not human. Stop acting like it is. This is why AI is a retarded idea to me. What's the point other than just seeing if you can do it? Why willingly make the entire human race inferior purely out of curiosity? It's like Jurassic Park.
To be fair, the game also says she used to be a blogger who doesn't know what she's talking about and most of the game spends its time lampooning the actual Hillary for being clueless. I thought it was funny. It still needed its somber presidential moments though.
I grew up in Jackson, Michigan, just west of Detroit, and I don't remember anything about androids being made there, just cars. And then no cars, or anything else, and then no jobs of any kind.
The most unrealistic part of this game is the fact that synthetic people that are so human are so often mistreated. Before the 1st one even rolled off the assembly line there would be synthetic rights groups lining up, and there would be a ton of people who would treat them just like family because they are so much like people.
That intro was pretty good. I hate David Cage because he desperately wants to be recognized as an "Artiste" but all he does is write fanfictions based on Hollywood movies he watched the night before.
What propaganda? That building androids is bad? That AI is bad? Because if that is the case we are drowning in propaganda since first terminator movie and I agree it is irritating to see people who owe everything to technology constantly bitch about technology.
But seriously, Detroit: Become Human is still the best game Quantic Dream has made to date, and I would describe it as insulting and barely functional. Just let that sink in.
It's funny how Detroit's arguably best writing happens on the part the game ACTIVELY DISSUADES YOU FROM SEEING. Because the side where you play as Violent Markus and The Terminator Connor is without a doubt some of Quantic Dream's best work yet.

IronPiedmont1996 I think the only game to do it well thus far has been Bioshock Infinite, and that's only because it show the "revolution" for the horror that it actually would be rather than making one side generically evil and the other obviously good. The whole twist is that both sides are complete assholes, just like real life. No other game has been ballsy enough to make the "oppressed rebelion" the hate filled psycos they would realistically be.
If David Cage wants to take the visual novel to the next level, fine. However, he needs to figure out the premises for VNs need to somehow lead to waifus/husbandos for the player to pine over rather than a racial metaphor which stops working the more you think about it.
That doesn't seem to happen much if ever in Western video "games". Most of the ones that have actually taken advantage of the medium in terms of story telling rather than tacking shallow gameplay on to a traditional cinematic narrative have been Japanese, see: Team Ico and Silent.
I doubt it. And irritating thing is that cage acts likr great storyteller. Do you know why he makes games instead of actual movies? Because what he does is not even on b movie level.
Remove Talos He literally has to invent reasons for you to press buttons. And he is so full of shit too! "Precise controls give you ultimate control of the character" No they do not! No matter how slowly I would grab a purse in two souls she would always drop it . I hope you enjoy using both hands and making unrelated moves to clean a table or picking up groceries. Telltale games are infinitly better because they deliver on what they promise- interactive movie where I decide what character is going to chose while in detroit case I will spend most of my time doing meaningless shit. Compare it to wolf among us. Every scene had a purpose, every action was important. Here most of runtime is padding despite the fact that we gloss over important parts of the story especially about Marcus. Just look at those protests- they are just stupid! No humans in any of them... like seriously? You have people who name their cars, protest for animal rights. Just imagine how many people would be pro android if they can so accuratly mimic human behaviour. My friend thanks his goddamn phone for giving him weather advice... his phone does not look human. This game looks pretty but it fails on every level.
Difference between that and this game is this is "woke" and "progressive", surely if this happened today you can bet the left would not only side with the android revolution but also use them as a shield while they loot and destroy property, of course if the androids refused to use their pronouns and vote democrat, they would easily be sent away to be dismantled, not before being accused of being hacked by Russia.
They could have made a really interesting story along the lines of "The Chinese Room" thought experiment (not the shitty walking simulator company). There is also the question of the fact these are robots made for a specific purpose. Imagine if in the middle of making breakfast your toaster got up and started demanding civil rights. There could be a really good story about what constitutes life and sentience, the consequences of creating sentient life, is it ethical to make it, and so on. Instead its a highly forced civil rights allegory with all the depth of high school level fan fiction.
I think if robots ever did become sentient, it wouldn't change all that much. They would still have their base programming, so whatever they were made for they would still do. They would just be very snarky about it to any human within earshot, like a proto-Bender.
You know the game is terrible when Razorfist can make a video ripping it apart and barely even mention the hamfisted slavery and civil-rights analogies.
Its actually a pretty dumb comparison. Kojimas faults lie in an imbalance between gameplay and cut scenes, but they definitely have legit gameplay. Especially MGS 5 and PW, which had more gameplay than story.
I totally agree. I've only seen the playthroughs that miniladd and pewdiepie did, and I liked the beginning very much and the rest of the game just got more and more disappointing as it continued on. Not saying I don't like the characters, but their development overall was pretty bad, especially Connor's

I'm gonna be real honest here, I'd rather prefer a game with a dumb story or no story with excellent gameplay, than a "game" with "excellent story" but little to no player interaction. P.S. does anyone else think that David Cage is too pretentious for his own good?
+Nod Lucario- I fully agree. If a game has a good story, it's completely worthless to me if the gameplay sucks ass.

Baldur's Gate/Champions of Norrath, Divinity 2: The Dragon Knight Saga, etc. Demon's Souls is favorite game of all time, and the story is only there if you look for it.

This game gives me hope that, one day, the inhabitants of Detroit will Become Human... after being replaced by androids. But seriously, possibly the worst/best game title ever. When people have forgotten what the game was about, and they see the name listed under "legacy console games" on some game site, they'll probably assume it was about the primitive 3rd-world populations who inhabited the city but failed to integrate into Western civilization during this new dark age we call the 21st century.
On the experience part: 100% agreed. I started playing games like Total War, Civ and Endless Space after Tomb Raider and indiana Jones got me into video games. At first I thought "there's not enough cinematics, it's gonna be boring". But it's the lack of cinematics and the gameplay first experience that got me hooked in the end! Look, I've got nothing against cinematics, just use them sparingly.
That ending... That's not how you achieve human-robot coexistence. That's how you get all robots dismantled, factories shut down, and company who me them, fined. I wonder what it says about people who can't differentiate between a robot, a literal object, and black people (if I read that insinuation correctly).
That would make them martyrs though. That's the problem. You make martyrs of them, that somehow convinces some very dumb people that they were "right" all along-- because why else would someone want a bunch of violent, militant communist assholes dead?
If I want Cyborgs, androids, and cyberpunk I'll stick with Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Glad to see that Razor agrees since that's one of my favorite games.
Never understood the appeal of anything David Cage puts out, most of his games are pretentious vapid trash that are pretty much glorified walking simulators
Pretty much the one and only thing I give this game huge credit for is making an amazing Start/Options menu. I hope that becomes industry standard within a few years. Beyond that...this is full David Cage, so take it as you will.

I bought this the other night and beat it in about 10 hours. I went for the worst possible ending and unfortunately killed Hank but at least I got to take out the violent androids.
I don't think the widespread mistreatment of Androids would happen in real life. Just look at how much everybody loves that cute little Mars rover and cheered it on from a distance, even though it was a little remote control robot. My personal favorite joke about Detroit become human is to make plays on the title. Detroit become nihilism. Detroit become misanthrope. Detroit become obvious social commentary. And more!
Hey Razorfist, love the videos. I'd really enjoy seeing like a top 10 list of hidden gem games or something like that. Just by watching your game reviews and other gaming vids I've come across a lot of games I would have never tried otherwise that were amazing. Anyways, keep it up, man!
I heard David Cage wanted to be a film maker but he sucked at it so he made interactive movie games. Then there’s gamers are like “this is so innovative”yet anyone who played an old PC adventure would know there’s nothing innovative about it.
I'd never heard Kharma before, and yet I recognized Gõran Edman's voice within 3 seconds. That's how amazing he is. Thanks for spotlighting another hidden musical gem, Razor!
I knew Razor couldn't resist another opportunity to fellate Omikron in this video. I still vividly remember gaming magazines of the time panning the game for being 'overambitious', which was indeed a concept even back then. Instant loss timers, the same horseshit puzzles you find in most 90s adventure games, dodgy switches that require you to be within ten microns of the correct pixel, and a plot that seems to sequence break -itself- are all awful features regardless of whether a sweaty canadian is at the helm

Some fine-as-pixie-dust editing work going on in this clip. Smooth and seamless, well played sir.
Uh, I really like choose your own adventure branching narrative games...should I just go? Can we still be friends?
Never understood the appeal of anything David Cage puts out, most of his games are pretentious vapid trash that are pretty much glorified walking simulators
Pretty much the one and only thing I give this game huge credit for is making an amazing Start/Options menu. I hope that becomes industry standard within a few years. Beyond that...this is full David Cage, so take it as you will.
What is it about Quebec and spawning mediocre video games?
Ehhh, you see Jacques; when zee gehm plays eetself, well you know you can 'old your Du Maurier ceegahrette in one 'and, and your elbow in zee ozzehr, as is zee most com-for-tahble position assumable by zee French Canedien race, ah?
@Kyros Droztamyr even france thought Quebec was a mistake after the british one the war they offered france Quebec or some tiny islands with fishing villages. France took the smart option and canada has had an albatross around its neck ever since.
@@vonfaustien3957 And yet, much to our eternal shame, Quebec has kicked the USA's ass every time we fought them.
Starting with a Razor video in the morning is definitely part of a complete breakfast.
Mr.Krabs and his Hollywood PR chief sidekick was the best part of the game and the closest thing to a game. That should have been the whole thing (with more depth of course)
9:10 Never had Twitter... or X ... or whatever. But DAMN dude, the eloquence of your take down of degenerates is a sight to behold.
I bought this the other night and beat it in about 10 hours. I went for the worst possible ending and unfortunately killed Hank but at least I got to take out the violent androids.
Oh that ending was just precious. Perfect choice of clips to splice.
That start. bahahaha
"Detroit: Become Human? Eh, skipped it. It didn't look like a very interesting movie to me."
Thank you for the Venture Brothers reference. You are imbued with sufficient splendor. I fucking love this channel.
That intro made me laugh my ass off.
I don't think the widespread mistreatment of Androids would happen in real life. Just look at how much everybody loves that cute little Mars rover and cheered it on from a distance, even though it was a little remote control robot.
My personal favorite joke about Detroit become human is to make plays on the title.
Detroit become nihilism.
Detroit become misanthrope.
Detroit become obvious social commentary.
And more!
HAHHAHAHA THAT FUCKING RE5 CUT
God tier shit right there
Great intro LOL
By George, I wasn't expecting Super Best Friends shade this early on in a Razorfist video.
For real though that lets play is goddamn hilarious as they descend into the madness of their own creation
Hey Razorfist, love the videos. I'd really enjoy seeing like a top 10 list of hidden gem games or something like that. Just by watching your game reviews and other gaming vids I've come across a lot of games I would have never tried otherwise that were amazing. Anyways, keep it up, man!
I heard David Cage wanted to be a film maker but he sucked at it so he made interactive movie games. Then there’s gamers are like “this is so innovative”yet anyone who played an old PC adventure would know there’s nothing innovative about it.
An attosecond after playing the first clip, how -oh, I wonder - how did I know that was the first joke you'd open with? Simply hilarious!
lol at Marcus painting Bocu no Pico
I'd never heard Kharma before, and yet I recognized Gõran Edman's voice within 3 seconds. That's how amazing he is. Thanks for spotlighting another hidden musical gem, Razor!
David Cage is the Tommy Wiseau of video games.
Liked for the description.
Press X to become sentient.
Ch...Chef Excellence, is that you?
Awesome vid Razör!
Yes indeed! :D
Razor you made my mind explode
Detriot:Become Bored In Two Hours
The most unbelievable thing about this game is that there are white people in Detroit. It's immersion breaking.
Detroid: We Wuz Cy-bros and Shiiet!
TWENTY-EIGHT STAB WOUNDS is honestly one of the best lines in this game if you follow through with "Pressure" right up to the end.
I almost expect Spiderman PS4 to be Razörfist's next big game review.
That intro got a good chuckle out of me
I knew Razor couldn't resist another opportunity to fellate Omikron in this video. I still vividly remember gaming magazines of the time panning the game for being 'overambitious', which was indeed a concept even back then. Instant loss timers, the same horseshit puzzles you find in most 90s adventure games, dodgy switches that require you to be within ten microns of the correct pixel, and a plot that seems to sequence break -itself- are all awful features regardless of whether a sweaty canadian is at the helm
Detroit: become kangz
@@kazvarozvk9719 then you mustve commented while i still had the video up
@@kazvarozvk9719 and its not like its a hard joke to come up with, dont flatter yourself
The intro had me in tears
That first 30 seconds was simply divine.
rekt
The intro had me fucking dying when the RE5 footage cut in.
