Lol, and lol.
You know, I really gotta give props to David Cage, he really is an innovator. Like how do you manage to make a game about discrimination/segregation/slavery with an allegory for civil rights so flawed, so stupid, that it double backs and ends up becoming offensive. Really impressive. Even still, if I'd completely ignore that and take this game at face value, there are so many issues with this that you could break it apart piece by piece (the melodramatic writing; David's usual misery porn; a "plot twist" so unnecessary that it ruins a whole character arc; the plot holes, holy shit, the amount of plot holes). Also, can we stop and think that this line was written, if not by an English white dude, by a French white man? Lmao.
As difficult as it is to talk positively about this I do have to mention a huge improvement over past Quantic Dreams games, and that's the presentation. Which I think it's also the main reason for the positive feedback Detroit has compared to their previous. Everything from the graphics, to the music, acting (specially Connor and Hank), and even the cinematic feel, is considerably better. I guess this would be Quantic Dream's closest attempt at making a game that feels like a movie, and it's really close to achieving it. Kind of disappointing that players find that enough to be tricked and ignore everything else about it that's a flaw, though.
Anyway, I'm currently dead sick so spending any effort in talking about this is exhausting enough... David Cage's best game so far.

@Blowing_Wind Jajajaja, nunca me entere de que lo crackearon así que tenía que jugarlo. A diferencia de las películas, no puedo disfrutar de los juegos malos, pero Quantic Dreams son la excepción. Supongo que sí hacen películas después de todo... 😁
The Nomad Soul me lo vi todo en un playthrough hace muchos años, es un desastre hermoso. No sé si sería tan divertido jugarlo igual.
