Anime Which is the worst Quantic Dream (Dayvid Cayge) "game"?

[Skinwalker]

Somehow, this talentless hack is still around and churning out a new wannabe-movie every five years or so. I guess it's the power of clout and being a useful tool for pushing THE MESSAGE.

Out of the five games they've shat out so far, I've only played Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy (to the end) and Omikron: Nomad Soul (about half), but I've watched full streams of the other ones, because I need to temporarily lower my IQ by at least 50 points before I can interact with normies IRL.

I would characterize them as follows:

Omikron - an actual game, with actual gameplay mechanics, an interesting premise, and fairly cool setting. It was made in the early 3D era, which means it's butt-ugly and eventually made my eyes bleed and make me stop playing, but I enjoyed it quite a bit. What went wrong with this studio after that?

Fahrenheit: out of all the wannabe-movie video games with little to no gameplay, I think this is the best one I've ever played or watched. It goes off the rails in the second half, and ends up turning into a jumbled mess of aborted plotlines, however.

Heavy Rain: hilariously out-of-touch and wooden crime drama that blatantly cheats to pull a shocking twist on the viewer. It made me laugh in all the places that were supposed to be dramatic, and also feel very glad that I wasn't actually "playing" it.

Beyond Two Holes: creepy Ellen Elliot Page molestation simulator with a cringy story and an interesting premise that isn't used in any creative way whatsoever.

Detroit: We Wuz Humanz: robots are real people and YOU'RE A FASCIST BIGOT!!! if you so much as DARE to question this dogma or be genuinely unaware of it due to a lack of information. It's horribly long, disgustingly blatant with its transhumanist, pro-immigrant and "USA sucks coz muh slavery" propaganda, the characters are extremely flat punching bags for gratuitous misery porn, and Canada is apparently some kind of heavan on earth for muh robosexual rights. And the little girl secretly being a robot all along made zero sense.

But what do YOU think? Vote now!! Sorry, you can only pick one, the responses aren't meaningful otherwise.

Beyond: Two Souls is the least memorable, and is thus the worst form of kusoge.

Literally the only thing I remember about B:TS is
1: the nude model in the game files and lawsuits about it
2: Press X to Tampon
3: Something about a girl with a ghost companion?

The others at least have enough stupid scenes to make a good compilation video or David Bowie.

The funniest part of Beyond Two Souls is when you're in the North Korean base being interrogated. The NK commander brutally tortures your friend, cutting off fingers and gouging his eye out, shit like that. Then he turns to you. At this point you can immediately give him the info he was after, making all the brutal torture your friend suffered be for nothing.

The game is total trash though.

 

[Fargus]

Played BTS on friends ps3, played Detroit and Fahrenheit a little.

Beyond Two Souls is a tear jerker for girls with typical romance novel cliches and angry spirit theme on top. Has some interesting portrayal of the afterlife i guess. Messing with characters was funny. At some point in the game our warpainted she-rambo went on a mission to african shithole and almost offed herself to avoid getting gang-raped by a mob of angry dirty niggers that surrounded the house. Must be what earned Gage his "racist" and "sexist" tags?

Detroit was alright. To me it seemed like typical android rebellion plot that is common in science fiction. Enjoyed playing as Connor the most, the rest weren't that interesting.

Fahrenheit. Played a little, quit somewhere in the beginning because of shit controls on pc. There is apparently a QTE sex scene and Gage self inserted himself in tutorial lol

I thought most people play these games to fail qtes and laugh?

Depends on what you mean by worst. Does it mean the game that causes you the most mental and physical anguish if you try play it all the way through? Then Omikron, easily. Omikron is really horrible. It is also by far the best of these games. Granted, I've played hardly any of them, but I've seen enough to know this.

Detroit was good. The rest was cringe.

What was so bad about Omikron? I LIKED IT. Although, it was so long ago, I barely even remember.

Fahrenheit is still fresh in my memory, though. At the risk of sounding like a soyboy, I will admit that I'd probably play the game again if they made a remastered/remade version of it. At least exciting things happen in it, right from the start. Compare and contrast to the dreary slog that's at least 1/3rd of every "game" after that. Especially Heavy Rain.

It was a hard choice between Beyond: Two Souls and Detroit: Become a Faggot, but in the end I voted for Detroit because Beyond: TS at least gave us this:

Fahrenheit was at least entertaining for how stupid it was – but that trick only works once. It was first, therefore that's my memory of it. But every single one of those games is written like it's speedrunning the average Stephen King book: interesting, novel concept + okay characters to get you hooked before accelerating to the most off-the-rails retarded shit ever to the point I stop caring completely about the setup.

Every one of you bottom feeders hand in your gaming card THIS INSTANT. Walking and talking sims are the lamest concept in video game history, and reductive for the medium.

Omikron was a real adventure game tho. And a fighting game and an FPS. Even a platformer. Seems pretty based to me :^)

 

[H. P. Lovecraft's Cat]

Luckily I haven't played any. Omikron always looked interesting to me. It had the whole shitty Blade Runner ripoff thing going on and the dopey ass mixture of gameplay mechanics that don't go together at all. The other ones never appealed to me.

What was the name of that stupid movie game with the Wendigo? That was way cooler than anything David Cage could think up. Before Dawn or whatever. David Gayge could never make such a thing.

 

[Necrensha]

All of them have interesting concepts and shitty execution.
My vote goes for Heavy Rain for no reason other than this video:

Wasn't that game supposed to be a gritty crime drama? Omg...

 

[Cat Headed Eagle]

David Cage a sort of Neil Breen type figure, speaks volumes of the shit you can get away with in gaming that he got to be a respected name once.
Beyond Two Souls might've been the thing that made Ellen Page transition, so there's that.

What was so bad about Omikron? I LIKED IT.

But did you finish it? Everything that comes after the first zone is not only riddled with bugs, but so shoddily produced and devoid of content that it's a wonder anyone has. The story stops being entertainingly bonkers and somehow, unfathomably, devolves into generic fantasy chosen one bullshit, which is absolutely baffling considering the initial premise. The fighting game engine simply disappears without a trace. The busywork that's used to stretch absolutely nothing - nothing, the game has NOTHING to say or do or tempt you with after a certain point - into a several-hours long ordeal will make you want to kill yourself. It's incredible how unfinished the game actually is. The only reason the first zone has any value is because the novelty of bad adventure game mixed with bad FPS mixed with bad fighting game mixed with bad RPG mixed with Second Life-style virtual LARP is yet to wear off.

I like it too. It's almost definitely the worst game I like.

Farenheit Indigo Prophecy 2nd half is just a bunch of glued concepts and mechanics from unreleased 2 games from (planned) trilogy.
They could just not do that and instead make separate, consistent game - it's not the first time that some games are made with sequels in mind, but never delivers them. But this was made by Cage so people have to suffer from his work.

Heavy Rain was big hype back then - then checked videos from it (didn't bother emulating) decade later and just makes little sense.
It's like modern writing and attempts at creating... something more mature and clever, but failing. Cage managed to make modern 202x AAA game decade before it become standards. Not sure if that's something to be proud of though.
Frankly it feels like The Last of Us 2 prototype in that regards and it's no surprise it's on the Sony Playstation of all possible machines.

 

[Abu Antar]

I only beat Detroit, and it had some good moments, but in the end, it devolved into retardation.

I heard that all his games are basically the same, so I see no reason to play them.

 

[Yuggoth]

I'm torn between Fahrenheit and Beyond (a.k.a. "game over is a failure for the game designer"). The former at least started on a good note, before devolving into a Bollywood-like tribute to The Matrix.

But that's the problem with every movie game directed by Cage. Even if he nails the basics for delivering something good, he always fucks it up in the end.
