I recently played Dispatch and was kinda bummed about how choices barely mattered in the grand scheme of things, just a few variations there and thereWent back to Detroit Become Human and it's crazy how much branching off is going on in that game, and also how many endings and variations there areWhole sequences and scenes you will not experience because of your choices, the shit you say and do actually matters in that gameOut of all the moviegames based on dialogue like the Cage games or Telltale games or Life is Strange games, I'd say Detroit is still the absolute peak in that genreWhy can't anyone do better?
>>730936918Quantic Dream makes the best choose your own adventure games. And if you don't fuck up on purpose just to see what happens you're missing out.
Yeah, Detroit is the apex of the cinematic CYOA genre, it's the one actually good Quantic Dream game. And the cringe writing only helps it, to be honest.I will say that Dispatch benefited immensely from the episodic nature and the actually fun gameplay, though.
>>730937074It has that cringe Cage writing, but definitely less than his previous moviegames, plus the aesthetic is cool and sleek so it offsets the cringe kind of
>>730936918Literally the only game of its kind that isn't plagued with the usual illusion of choiceChoices are very real in that gameIt helps that Quantic Dream probably got unlimited money from Sony for this, but still, it shows that making a story branch off in all directions depending on your choices or failures is very much possible and isn't an impossible task, so other studios that make those narrative games have no excuse basically
>>730937074>>730937646How the fuck is the writing cringe?
>>730938141BruhThis isn't "The writing of this video game isn't on the level of top tier literature"It's "The writing of this game is worse than the average Syfy show from the 00s".Begging you to consume more media. Any, apparently.Anyways, like I said, the cringe writing doesn't really detract from the game at all. Ultimately, it just gives a different flavor to the great reactivity the game offers.
>>730936918The fact that there are so many possible alternative paths unironically makes it the most replayable movie game, because you want to try out everything and see where it leads you
>>730936918Honestly one of the best high budget VNs on the market. Western studios should do more of this
>>730938428>zero examples of poor writing>uhhh consoom more media dood>uhhh read a book (even though I haven't actually read a book since high school)You're a subhuman midwit just blindly regurgitating shit and should kill yourself
>>730938665I have more respect for these movie games because they are genuine movie games, the studios genuinely wanted to make an actual movie where you make the characters say the lines you want and take the decisions you want, you are not getting tricked hereThe other kind of movie games is where they make a third person shooter/action game and make you believe it's some kind of thought provoking experience, it's disingenuous
>>730938428You could say that none of it was truly insightful nor groundbreaking; however, it most certainly was not cringe.
>>730938428>le game has le juvenile pedestrian writing because David Cage, but I would never ever ever ever call out a Japanese game or tranime for having pisspoor writing
>>730938141The same people shitting on Detroit's writing praise TLoU2 as a masterpiece btw.
>>730938718>>730938875>>730938914>Hold on just a little while longer. Hold on just a little while longer. Hold on just a little while longer. Everything will be alright. Everything will be alright.>The Deviants... The Deviants are singing...>Tell them to stand down>It looks like... Yes! The military is withdrawing! >At dawn today, November 11th 2038, thousands of androids invaded the city of Detroit. According to our sources, they originated from CyberLife warehouses believed to have been infiltrated by deviants. I know that public opinion has been moved by the deviants' cause. Perhaps the time has come for us to consider the possibility that androids are a new form of intelligent life. One thing is certain: The events in Detroit have changed the world forever.>You did it, Markus!>We did it. This is a great day for our people. Humans will have no choice now. They'll have to listen to us now. We are alive. And now... WE ARE FREE!To the back of the bus with you tards. Can't say anything good about a game or you always spawn uncritical retards that must pretend everything about it is 10/10.
This nigga right here became one of my favorite characters, Luther's a real one
>>730939561Kara. I need to talk to youIt's about Alice
>>730936918Is this game actually decent? heavy rain was garbage
>>730939660The human little girl that I'm protecting? It's difficult caring for a human but her being the human that needs me is what gives me purpose. I was created to help humans like her after all. Haha. What about her?
>>730939390None of that is cringe, you wanker.
>>730939813Heavy Rain is the second best Quantic Dream game. This is the first.If you thought Heavy Rain was garbage, this might not be enough of an upgrade for you to like this one.
>>730939561I always made sure that he was killed, despite it invariably being an easily avoidable outcome.
>>730938141I don't know how you can get into "walk-in android holocaust ovens that certainly isn't an allusion to anything in particular" and not have tfw you are going through that section. There is heavy handed and there is Cage.
/v/ doesn't enjoy the heavy handed allegorical civil rights angle in the writing?NO FUCKING WAY. I don't believe it. I can't. That's just not possible, I've been on this board for five whole seconds and I know anons eat that kind of shit up. Brings a tear to their eye, every time.
>>730940017That's not cringe
I've read some CYOA "games" written by women. That is cringe. Compared to them, Detroit is high literature.
>>730940182Only a fair comparison if you exclusively compare dialogue. And Cage's dialogue is indeed on the exact same level as the shit you mentioned.
It's funny how even in a genre that should be focused around "story", the best game in that genre is also the one that pushes actual interactivity and doing things that actually change that storyI don't even care about the storyline in itself in that game, I just like having actual choices
>Undress Alice
>>730940081It is trying to draw out emotion by pantomiming concentration camps with all the grace of Cage's staging and dialogue. How in the fuck is it not cringe? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfulSGvIi5gYou've got to be a coprophiliac to find it as anything but domineering wanking. It's cringe preciously because how seriously it takes this blatant jew alluding misery porn. Actually scratch that, modern Jew misery porn actually still has class that goes beyond just Gestapo lining everyone against the wall while the sad violin plays. Like Zone of Interest or Son of Saul.
It's hard to imagine this game without the woke shit, since it was replete with it, but hypothetically such a game would be very popular on /v/. Moreso than Dispatch.
>>730940615I love both games and no. Only way Detroit could possibly become popular on /v/ was if it had some severe waifubaiting added in and it became more about which character your android literal you dates. It could keep all the wokeness, too.
>>730936918Until dawn is the better movie game
>>730940690>going to a synthetics rights march with your sexy brown gynoid girlfriendCome to think of it, yeah that's probably true
>>730940615Detroit has always been hugely popular, not only here, because it's simply the gold standard of the interactive movie genreNot only does it have impeccable production value, but like other anons said, the story evolves with your choices, rather than the story beats remaining the same with only a few minor changes there and thereThe very fact that you can deliberately choose to make any of the 3 "playable" characters die, with the story adapting to it and just continuing casually is kind of unprecedented
>>730939813The writing is a bit better than heavy rain. The """gameplay""" is 1000x better though. I tried to replay heavy rain recently, and just walking around is so ass. You move so slow, and the controls are so ass. The way the camera flips from one view to another so now you're walking the wrong direction. Detroit is much less annoying to play.
>>730940910My only complaint is that even if I play Markus as evil as possible, Connor going against him is still more or less treated the same way
Is Detroit worth playing?I liked Heavy Rain, mostly because of how unintentionally bad it was, with the shitty voice acting and how serious it represented it's story and setting, while being full of jank and nonsensical dialogue, though I liked it in a way as how you could fuck up the QTE and the game actually reacted to it (major pov characters dying in the middle of the story).Beyond Two Souls was just pure railroaded garbage with bad self important writing and pathetic "gameplay". Killed all my interest in David Cage games.
he's literally me
>>730941329Beyond Two Souls is utterly awful, yes. Detroit is miles above it. It goes 1 - Detroit, 2 - Heavy RainI strongly recommend it, I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy it.
>>730941329>though I liked it in a way as how you could fuck up the QTE and the game actually reacted to itDetroit is literally this, on war steroids, so you will love itYou have a lot of control over how the story plays out, whether it's choosing, doing, or failing something
>>730941240Yeah, I wanted to do a run where Connor was growing empathetic but had to put aside those feelings because Markus had made the movement too extreme and violent but it just doesn't work too well
>>730941454>>730941462Oh ok, sounds worth it to give it a try at least.
>>730936918detroit was really expensive and didn't make enough money to justify making more
i hate robots
>>730941563it's heavily discounted on steam right now so it has never been more worth it
>>730941601>gets mad when I'm mean to robots, even violent ones????
>>730941648just clancy brown thingshe's always big mad
>>730941648He just doesn't like your poodle ass in particular
Absolute kino main menu with the talking robot waifu
>>730941648only he gets to be mad about robots
>>730941636I'll just play it for free on my PS5 since it's in the PS+ catalogue
>>730936918This is the only thing David cage helped with that wasn't complete shit and im confident its because they either didn't listen to him or straight up said no to 85% of his ideas. The cringe writing i dont even give him credit for because thats pretty standard for Twitter hires. Would have happened either way. They genuinely had decent programmers and designers running the show to pull off a story that changes that much, despite my hate for movie games.
TWENTY EIGHT ENDINGSI meanSTAB WOUNDS
>>730941839Have fun broski
>>730936918Toward the end it gets a little weird in the dialogue, like certain reveals were moved around, like>Luther asks Kara if she's noticed anything weird about alice >Kara says no>Kara takes Alice to Rose>rose says she has a fever and is sick, something robots don't do>Kara takes Alice to bed and Alice asks "why do they hate us" as if Kara knows she's a robot, Kara even responds as if Alice is a robot>later in jericho it's revealed that Alice is a robot and Kara is stunned
899 bucks for unlimited sexThis is not dystopia, this is utopia
>>730941329Yeah if you fuck up the story iirc everyone dies. The girl has a pretty long story and she just dies instantly in like the 2nd scene and you just play the rest of the game as conner where you die maybe 5 times and litterally drive mr. Krabs insane. he kills you only for you to come back then I think he kills himself and its just you shutting down the threat at the end, then the company terminates conner and the corporation wins. Its great.
Alice should have been a human.

>>730942775also comes in black lolcheeky cage
>>730942775>Release date 2035Plenty of time to save up
With the way AI and robotics have evolved in the past 5 years I'd say Cage nailed the timing of the game pretty well
>>730942880Save up money, right?
Should I buy the bundle?I'm not going to regret giving Monsoir Cage 3 bongs am I?
Anyone heard anything new about David Cage's next game? Wasn't it Star Wars?
>>730943026>Star Wars
>>730942976it's cheap as fuck either way, but to be honest only detroit is genuinely worth it, quantic dream's magnum opus
>>730942976Fahrenheit is eh. Novel for its timeDetroit and heavy rain are kino, though heavy rain struggles tonally a few timesBeyond two souls is awful
>>730942837this will save the AI bubble from burstingdo something Nvidia
>>730937074dispatch doesnt have gameplay though
>>730942895No, he didn't. The theme is way too hyperbolized and caricatured in how it's presented to be echoing current AI talking shitpoints. He isn't portraying chatgtp existentialism. These mf made identical humans for 800 dollars apiece, where, at a glance, the only thing separating them from living beings is an LED on the side of their heads. We are not there. And we will not be there in many decades, if ever. I'm not even going to pretend that this will ever be commercially available clanker slavery.
>>730942976Id honestly say only Detroit is really worth it. But Fahrenheit can be entertaining as a novelty
>>730943305the dispatching minigame was kinda fun, but it becomes pointless the moment you understand it only has consequences for one fucking character, the invisible slutlike yeah i'd like to fuck a bitch like that in real life, but the whole game revolves around her, and you don't even get a cool sex scene aside from the wet dreamthe game is very clearly rushed and lacked at least 8 other episodes to properly flesh out all characters
>>730943274There are already AI gf bots out there. And has been for many years prior. You realize that buying up more RAM for data centers will not manifest in NVIDIA momentously finding how to make cheap, human-like android bodies?
What are the best Choose Your Own Adventure games?I can only really think of Detroit: Become Human and Until Dawn. The others don't really qualify in my mind because they're more like VNs with very little branching or replay-ability.
>>730944042>What are the best Choose Your Own Adventure games?Way of the Samurai pretty much mastered the concept
>>730944042The QuarryAs Dusk Falls
I had a hard time enjoying this game because Clancy Brown looks and sounds just like my dad in this game and it made all the depression and suicidalness feel way too personal to me
