GOOD post
I still cannot get over how perfectly the twist shits on all the writing up to that point.
Suddenly Todd isn't a taxi driver who lost himself to alcohol struggling to provide for his daughter after his wife died and he became unemployable, he's some dude who sold his taxi to buy a wifebot and daughterbot for the purpose of getting drunk and abusing them.
Wifebot's story isn't about a robot demonstrating what it means to be human by risking everything to protect her daughter, it's a robot who decides to endanger herself, another robot, and some humans because it likes roleplaying.

I think that the implication is that the robots are replacements for the family that left him

Wifebot is in denial about it and deluding herself until near the end, so the narrative is undermined by an inexplicable bullshit twist, but I don't think it's because of liking roleplay.
That said, I think the story would've been better if the android woman adopted the human girl. It would've helped the themes on people as property and how children and spouses are treated like that today.
Instead with both as androids, it's an android caring for another android while the guy who bought them did so out of spite.
Also as an aside, who thought having a lifelike child android would be a good idea in any way in the setting?
Uhhh the message I took away from it was an allegory about humanity's willingness to accept people different than us.
The only good part of a David Cage game was in Indigo Prophecy when it's revealed that the homeless people are actually an organized fighting force known as the Invisible Army and they fight Cthulhu and stuff
The Hobo Illuminati is introduced well after you have a Dragonball Z fight with the Internet, so by then it's just like "yeah, sure, whatever, they are all powerful but choose to live in filthy alleys, let's wrap this bullshit up already"
Also you're a zombie in that scene
who just got his frozen dick wet 😎
With a lady he's only known as the detective investigating him and they had no romantic chemistry beforehand
Popsicle/necro fetish
That game was needlessly horny too.
All David Cage games are, which is very 
now that we know he's a creep and the whole unauthorized Elliot Page nudes thing too.
no we totally needed the frozen corpse sex
All i remember from thag game was some really interesting stuff related to trying to escape being framed for a murder and then suddenly i was getting chased by interdimensional bugs in an office and i just quit
Detroit become pooman
gottem
Dropping out of video games around 2012 and only sort of getting back to them in the last few years seems to have been a really smart move.
Yes but he has so many EmOTiOnS!
huh it sure seems like that game is about racism but maybe the mlk quotes were just an accident

The edit cuts the line so he just says "28", which in this case is him asking for a specific cigarette brand behind the counter at a convenience store
Also, this cover exists thanks to the game, so that's nice.

I had no idea who he is, I just skipped this game bc I love adrenalin kicks too much and it didn't seem like my kind of deal, the first search engine try failed, would anybody fill me in, please 🥺?
detroit become human is a very clumsily handled game about robot oppression as a metaphor for race* that david cage (the games director) insists isn't about race despite the fact that it involves the underground railroad and they quote mlk a bunch. david cage is a shitty person who hates making video games and is constantly saying bullshit, and he did a nude shower scene involving elliot page pre-transition without his consent. and his video games are consistently very bad, which isn't the worst thing about him but does make people defending him more obnoxious
*that goes completely off the rails
and he did a nude shower scene involving elliot page pre-transition without his consent
ultraviolence
Infinite skullcracking on the transphobe chasers
and he did a nude shower scene involving elliot page pre-transition without his consent.
wait, this was in one of the games? i've never heard of this guy before, and thought detroit looked like a piece of shit game so i never played it.
