I remember this was a really well-received game when it came out! It has an 87 on Metacritic and was talked about as a must-play for people who like story-focused video games. How hilarious it is to look back on that now. David Cage's writing is generally embarrassing. It's full of plot holes, character actions with no resemblance to human behavior, and pointless melodrama that the only entertainment value it really has comes from mocking it. His latest, Detroit: Become Human, is one of the more laughable attempts at a serious story I've seen in years, although I thought the dynamic between the two cops was kind of cute at times. It's definitely a game where you're constantly screaming questions at the screen. The guy just doesn't think his stories through. I've heard Beyond: Two Souls is somehow even worse! Hilariously bad is at least a lot better than bad but boring. That's why something like The Eye of Argon can become a literary party game. I'm a big fan of it, really - I watch anime I know will be trash more often that I watch anime I expect to be good. The playthrough of Heavy Rain I watched a couple years back was a riot. I'm hoping I'll have just as much fun playing it myself. --- I'm playing every game from GotD 2020!
