It's worth your time, I guess
3 March 2020
It's a decent show. A great time killer. The plot itself isn't mind boggling, pretty predictable for the most part? Found myself rolling my eyes here and there, but Netflix did a great job incorporating their classic 80's nostalgia cinematography in a modern-setting environment (like they did with TEOTFW) and playing around with the characters' emotional development.

Would probably watch season 2 if it came up in my recommendations, but not a show I will be plucking my eyes out waiting for.

I personally enjoyed TEOTFW more than I did this show (maybe because I don't like Stranger Things and this show is a mix between the two) and would recommend to anybody who especially enjoyed Stranger Things.

Detroit: Become Human (2018 Video Game)
10/10
AN UTTER MASTERPIECE!
13 July 2018
This game deserves so much applaud to the point where my hands should theoretically fall off.

it was such a thrilling, mind-blowing, nail-biting, laughing, crying emotional rollercoaster that at least half the population should be able to play. I am so, literally, irritated I can't give this game an infinite amount of stars.

David Cage's games do not fail to impress me again in my high standards.

This game isn't your typical thrillers or RPGs that let you shoot your enemies down and gain satisfaction from it. It isn't just a CD that contains a three hour long story that's there to entertain you and to bring you to a world where you can do whatever the heck you want without consequences.

It discusses so much sensitive topics from the past then smoothly implements it in the future and reminds us how things will turn out if we refuse to coexist and if we repeat history. Things like slavery and what it means to be human are tossed around softly yet it engraves such a big message to my mind. It discusses philosophy and morality that can be defined differently by each individual. It's like a never ending onion that you can peel and peel.

It contains so many lessons that many people in the world today refuse to understand or accept in such a compressed period of time and it literally changes people as a person (it did to me too!). This story seriously isn't a game... it's something we must anticipate and expect in the future. It's very impressing on how well the Quantic Dream team managed to do that.

Other than that, how about we discuss the mind blowing graphics? The team managed to recreate Detroit in their game so well and beautifully yet they make it clear on what consequences the city took to become such a leading place. I especially love it when rain takes place! Things become a lot more dramatic.

The music? What do you all expect from such an amazing game? It represents the character and the setting so much and it will enhance the emotion in the game so much.

This game isn't work 50 bucks, i'd buy it without second thought for 200!

I assure you this game is something I would remember for life.

Cliché my ASS. Best game of all time
5 July 2018
I honestly was quite skeptical about this David Cage game before one of my friends said it wasn't as bad as they say. Thanks for their thorough persuasion I got convinced to buy this game and try it out.

I do NOT, and I sincerely believe that nobody ever should be disappointed by such masterpiece.

This game is different. It really is. It's not one of the pointless games that shoot down everybody and blood sprays everywhere. It's not one of those games that have no meaning but to entertain. It really isn't. It has much deeper meaning and it should receive an award for that.

Cage chose to discuss how many things in the past repeat itself in the future and how people are affected by it. It discusses morality and philosophy, and what truly is right in a society like today and at the future.

He chose to dicuss the weight of life and the power of being able to think. The consequences of pacificst and violent choices. The consequences to staying loyal to your own kind for all that matters or choosing to do the right thing to save the greater good for everyone.

It's not easy to see such things in a world like today.

To all of you people saying this is a cliché, biased story that includes racial history that occured to a 'real person',

You are wrong.

Cliché? You know why? Because it's a highly anticipated future that many people expect. But this game chose to express it differently. And it should deserve a good rating. And racial history that occured to 'real people'? I'm sure Cage is aware of all those things. He chose to display it that kind of way because he knew that history would repeat itself. It was realistic. And if people can't get over the fact that the reality is heavier than they want it to be, they will be the very ones to make history repeat.

Other than that, the graphics are amazing and so is the music. It really adds the emotion part to the story.

Anyway, great game. Deserves an... off the charts rating. I wish I could give it a 100/10.
