I played it for a few hours and I'd suggest watching it.

As others have said it's about androids developing feelings. My personal favorite moment so far was shooting a deadbeat druggie dad who didn't have a wife to beat so he beat his child and android. Bringing him beers and doing his laundry was as boring as it sounds. Sure, I got to shoot someone, but these androids don't have outstanding speed and strength. I've just witnessed mostly unfair deaths, suicide, and tears. All while moving at a snail's pace. Some people might genuinely enjoy that, and while some of the stories are interesting I don't think it's something that should be told in the form of a video game.

It's a game where androids are an oppressed class who are forced to ride on the back areas of buses.

So it's a much less subtle version of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, which is only slightly newer than Heavy Rain.

WHAT A SHAME.
 
Just finished it with what was I think the best ending (not 100% though). I didn't see a whole lot of "woke" neu-civil rights stuff, and at least in my playthrough I only saw the metaphors for true racism rather than the stupid shit you see passing for "racism" now. The biggest problem, like I said before, was that there as no grey in the story and that it's all been done before. All humans except Hank and that smuggler lady are awful and androids are righteous with no flaws, meaning Cage meant for you to side with the androids even though they're basically a threat to the concept of humanity as a whole...

After everything though, it hasn't been the worst story I've seen out of Cage and I wanted to see more of Connor and Hank.

The game is missing a strange supernatural deus ex machina and I'd bet it's because Cage had some minders keeping him on track. I swear this game is a combination of every stock android movie story.
Connor's story = White dudes starring in I,Robot. It even includes a warehouse full of androids lined up like that famous scene in the movie
Kara = AI: Artificial Intelligence with a female Haley Joel Osment as the kid
Markus = robot MLK with hand sex that looks like the weird thing Riff Raff and Magenta do in Rocky Horror Picture Show

So what you're saying is the robots in this game are basically just autists with the ability to make glowy lights?
 
Does someone get a running powerdrill up the vagina in this one or did Cage finally take his fucking meds

You'll be happy to know they shit all over that entire sequence later.

This is the most grounded a David Cage game has been in terms of story but it's also the most offensive

There are straight up holocaust concentration camps with naked android mass graves and a walk to basically the showers.
You find out the little girl is an android later and the game plays it as "lol does it even matter?" but it's like, yeah it kinda does because it makes you shooting her owner way worse.
Apparently there is a scene where an android is like "why are you treating me like a slave" to a black man

It's obvious David Cage just ripped this entire story off from a myriad of places, but it's like he took The Second Renaissance from The Animatrix and did it in the worst way possible. That story is at least written well and doesn't have this problem of "hey deviants wouldn't be like a thing you could keep quiet," like if your phone just started going "No, I'm not doing what you want, I wanna be free" that would be on the news and recalled the next week.

There are just so many instances where you can take the logic of the world in the game and it breaks how the story would go, like a character talks about how the tracking chips inside deviants disable when they turn deviant and then in I think the very next segment or one after that they're trying to identify which android in a place is a deviant and nobody thinks "check if they show up on their tracker"

Just wait for the superbestfriends LP or watch The Second Renaissance, it's a lot better, at least the androids there still are useful to the world when they separate from humanity, I don't think you see a deviant doing an actual job after they turn or do anything besides fight to be free.
 
whelp, that settles it; TBFP playthrough it is.

Also, here's its user score on metacritic (because critic scores are worthless). It's the second highest rated PS4 game; ranked higher than Yakuza 6, Shadow of the Colossus, A Way Out (a "cinematic" game that was actually good), and Monster Hunter: World. I feel autistic when I use the phrase, but this is one of the few cases where I will unironically say, "I hate normies."

What makes you think Metacritic scores aren't also worthless?
:thinking:
