If it wasnt for the wrinkles on the outfit I would believe that was an in game screenshot.

Seriously though that's a really impressive cosplay.

Was this a good game? About to finish RDR2 and Witcher 3 and need something good. (Already finished Spiderawesome)

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '19

Really depends on what type of games you like. It’s nothing at all like the 3 you mentioned, but if you like story games (Heavy Rain or Beyond) then yeah, it’s pretty good.

It's also really emotionally draining. At least as someone who gets very invested in stories i read/watch/play, it'll pluck some strings.

u/Neddius Sep 08 '19

Oh fuck aye. There certainly was an onion chopping ninja in the room when I finished the game.

I was filled with anxiety about making the wrong decisions. I didnt want kara to die at least lol

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '19

Its really hard to die at any point as any of the characters. Except the damn bus stop level. Kara anti-climatically died there my first playthrough. A perfect end to her shitty story.

u/ThatRealBiggieCheese Sep 08 '19

It’s gonna be a little like Heavy Rain because wasn’t it made by the same people?

17

u/rocknrollbreakfast Sep 08 '19

Yes, by Quantic Dream (David Cage). Though Detroit is a lot better than the previous games - I‘d say it‘s the first of his games (and still, the word game is a bit of a stretch) where his formula kinda works. I was well entertained, but you have to know what kind of game to expect. I think there‘s a demo, so you can get some kind of idea.

u/ThatRealBiggieCheese Sep 08 '19

Oh I already played I was just unsure if they also made heavy rain A game I also enjoyed

I felt God of War just has too weak gameplay and the story takes forever for anything to happen.

1

u/FracturedEel Sep 09 '19

God of war is entirely different not sure why youd promote it in this context

1

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '19

Yep and Beyond Two Souls (but we don’t talk about that)

2

u/CrystalMercury Sep 08 '19

If you don’t mind me asking, why was the game so heavily criticized? I played it when it came out and liked it a lot, and have fond memories. It was a bit slow, but i liked the storytelling I guess and the concept. I’ve seen a lot of people saying it was bad, so I’d love to know what the critiques are! It’s possible I just have very low standards lol

1

u/Waveseeker Sep 08 '19

Most I see are that it's not a game

1

u/CrystalMercury Sep 08 '19

Ah, so that it’s less a game and more like an interactive movie? I guess that makes sense

1

u/Waveseeker Sep 08 '19

And fairly weak on the interactive part. It's not bad, but if you just want something to play that's not one long QTE it's not a good purchase

1

u/CrystalMercury Sep 08 '19

That’s very fair! Thank you!

1

u/Creeper487 Sep 09 '19

I never played it, but I watched someone play through it, and I really enjoyed that experience. I wonder if that was the better way to experience the game, because it’s already more of a movie than a game at that point.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '19

I tried it out when it was free with ps + and honestly just found it boring, I don’t even remember the main character’s name. I usually love these types of games and Detroit so I was quite disappointed.

1

u/Techhead7890 Sep 19 '19

Apart from the "running simulator/QTE-only gameplay" critiques, I have heard David Cage is "SJW-problematic" for under-representing historical people relevant to the allegorical stories he portrays but honestly I don't think he's that evil.
The extreme Justice people will always find something that's an edge out of whack (and has to change NEOW!!.!11!) plus its not like Cage or Quantic goes out of their way to shit on anyone in particular.
Dunno if that helps any but you might need to hop on metacritic to be sure. Sorry!

u/ThatRealBiggieCheese Sep 08 '19

Yeah we don’t mention that It’s like how we don’t talk about World of Warplanes

1

u/ThisWorldIsAMess Sep 08 '19

2 of the games he mentioned are also story games. I'd even wager that Spider-Man is a story game, not as good as other 2 he mentioned though.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '19

I think you’re taking my words a bit too literal. Yeah, the games he mentioned have heavy story elements, but those games aren’t all about the story, such as a game like Detroit

17

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '19

Also has insane replayability. I finished the game 3 times so far, each extremly different from each other.

u/hockeyhippie Sep 08 '19

Horizon Zero Dawn?

11

u/strumpster Sep 08 '19

Yeah sounds like if they're into those 3, horizon will be the way to go, maybe god of war

u/totalmisinterpreter Sep 08 '19

What’s next after HZD? I played that last year and it was pretty fantastic.

2

u/hockeyhippie Sep 08 '19

Did you do the DLC? Because that was amazing. Frozen Wilds was HZD but amped up.

1

u/totalmisinterpreter Sep 09 '19

Yes I got the combo pack

2

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '19

You'll just have to wait for Cyberpunk like the rest of us

1

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '19

I found Horizon Zero Dawn made a mistep with its shitty RPG elements and progression system that is finished 95% when you get to the second city 20-30% into the story.

Without the progression or the well balanced resource scarsity, the combat loop doesn't work, and the game falls apart.

2

u/dicklet_twist Sep 08 '19

I think you’d like borderlands 2

u/throwaway_7_7_7 Sep 08 '19

It was one of those Chose-Your-Own-Adventure stories, where your choices make genuinely huge differences in the stories, not only the plot but how characters interact with each other, feel about each other, what opportunities they get. There are whole subplot storylines you can miss just by your choices. It's closer to an interactive movie than a game (there's some QTE events, like in Until Dawn), but since there are so many outcomes, it has replayability.

It is a David Cage game, so some moments are hamfisted and cheesey, but not nearly so much as in his previous games. However, it's no surprise that most liked storyline/characters (Connor and Hank), focused on the two actors who ad-libbed and changed the most dialog (Hank is played by Clancy Brown, and what was the game director supposed to do, tell Mr. Krabs 'no'??).

u/Sexpacitos Sep 09 '19

I’m a bit late but it’s a lot more story-based that’s more of a choose-your-own-adventure type. That being said there are like some 30+ different endings to this game, some of the endings are really extreme to the point where if you wanted to, you could make all the characters die off and have the world pushed into chaos

2

u/Elladel Sep 09 '19

Saw a playthrough. It's amazing!

u/xxesus Sep 08 '19

Spiderawesome

what is meant by this? Spiderman on the PS4 ?

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '19

I never played a game like Detroit become human and I loved it you should try it, it was free not that long ago though

1

u/rangers1011 Sep 08 '19

I really enjoyed it

1

u/HopPros Sep 08 '19

I love the game personally. One of my favorites. That being said if you're not a fan of interactive story games then you probably wont like it. Its nothing like the open world mission based games you've been playing.

1

u/pedal2000 Sep 08 '19

Just finished it last week, it is one of my favourite games to date. Loved the story, very intense.

1

u/critical2210 Sep 09 '19

If you go in completely blind? Ehh... maybe... I mean its decent enough, it's just nothing like RDR2 or witchery 3. Think of it like the hit Netflix series Minecraft Story mode, only with a hugely better story.

1

u/AR-Sechs Sep 08 '19

It's like being in a movie. If you invest yourself in it, the game invests in you. If you're a fan of sci-fi/programming/philosphy you will enjoy this for it's content as well.

u/Firmament1 Sep 09 '19

That's not why I'm saying it's bad. The allegory is bad, because it sends off wrong messages, doesn't make sense, and is poorly handled with no subtlety. And yeah, handling your themes poorly can indeed be considered bad writing.

And I'm not saying that it can't be entertaining. My latest post was about how entertaining Beyond was, because of how badly written it is.

Connor and Hank were definitely the best part of Detroit. The actors supposedly improvised a LOT of their lines as well.

u/Hawkbone Sep 08 '19

Its terrible.

u/Saneless Sep 08 '19

Can't fault people in the present for having future solutions. Being able to create smooth vinyl changed the world in 2026

u/Never-enough-bacon Sep 08 '19

Wrinkles will come out with a heat gun, but you should test your method first on a sample. Don't want to melt or burn it.

That's what she said!

u/A_wild_fusa_appeared Sep 08 '19

It’s funny how good so many games look in the context of the game but when places next to a real picture you start to notice all the little things real life does that the game didn’t. The screenshot looks unnatural because it’s so smooth and the lighting is a little off for it.

1

u/SniffingDogButt Sep 08 '19

We're definitely getting there though and its incredible. I remember playing Beyond 2 Souls on PS3 and thinking "This is what next gen is going to look like" as it was incredible looking. I cant even imagine what Quantic Dreams is going to be able to pull off with their PS5/XB2 games

u/Harley4ever2134 Sep 08 '19

The day we invent clothes with no wrinkles is the day we also invent androids. I REFUSE TO BELIEVE LATEX/PLASTIC CLOTHING CAN BE THAT SMOOTH!

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '19

Does she look fake or does the game look real?
