Should Your Boyfriend Play Heavy Rain? 

Shanelby Twang is the greatest sanger ever!

Shelby, “Man, I Feel Like a Woman (in a David Cage game)" is a bonafide masterpiece. Kudos

'Man, I Feel Like a Woman (in a David Cage game) ' is so good it makes me want a full version in a standalone vid, like Bass Guy.

Shelbia Twain has delivered the best song yet on the channel. Honestly just, so well done

Love shelbia twain. She would be honoured that her song was featured in this video

What they didn't show us in the movie: Arnie still made it to his gym workout, getting it on for himself by PUMPING!

Holy shit my man Arnold cares more about the integrity of a story than 95% of Hollywood.

I'll give him one compliment, I couldn't tell he was french even if his delivery was so weird.

its easy when you have two kids

wow!

Pascal?! I'd love to grab a beer with that guy.

@power meat Oh snap. I always assumed he was French because Quantic Dream is.

"It didn't matter" lmao

"It didnt matter"

Shelby’s singing there was actually so good though! :O

​@@emikotagahushi941tru

You mean the gattaca theme lol

oh i know you, you are that reptile fetish guy right?

The best part is that Cage has said things which make it pretty clear he ACTUALLY BELIEVES he's, like, the only one who makes games with stories in them and thinks of himself as a serious auteur.

I don't like to call someone pretentious, but David Cage is the exception.

I actually liked those games but i do think that they aren't peak storytelling like some people make it out to be. It has promising themes that's somehow he fell short of delving properly through.

All these people talking shit about David Cage and his writing but will never come within 1/1000th of his audience. I really loved Heavy Rain. (Beyond Two Souls was disappointing though).

@@AleksandrStrizhevskiy Wtf does 'coming within 1/1000th of his audience' means? You need to understand the challenge before doing it.

I had the same problem!!!! Could not find those dumb things.

JASON

I think that's further than I got. If I remember right, I had to take a shower at the beginning, and a few minutes of, "Wait, this is what the controls are?" made me quit. I just was not doing that for an entire game.

You didn't use his keys like Matt did to find his car?

it’s been years since I’ve played this and I’m curious if I remember correctly. is it next to the dining room table in the cabinet?

"Yeah well research is for [slur] and we don't make games for those!" David Cage, probably

I mean it's not universally bad. Every Japanese game that takes place in America is basically like that and people love them. Though really love comes first. If you like something, you will praise it for the same things that you criticize in the games you dislike. Kinda like people criticize some superhero movies for not being comic-book accurate, yet they absolutely love Hugh Jackman's Wolverine

@@steelbear2063 I actually enjoy that the MCU is basically its own continuity and doesn't have to be completely accurate 100% of the time. It only needs to fit in with itself.

Wait, are you saying that American supermarkets don't normally have live chickens in them?!

@@4thofEleven Prepared to be disappointed, my friend.

Why tf you put quotes on episode

Do you know where they got that from?

@@LastRenegade yes! i wanna hear it tooooo!!!

Can you imagine his frustration filming it? What is this garbage and why did I say yes to this lol

I lost my eyebrows from the heat of that roast.

Dude, Mr. Krabs told him he was incompetent in storytelling. David Cage should just give up after that.

EXACTLY! The twist is broken because they have this thought mechanic and David Cage just straight out altered events of the story without any sign at all, it's good for the shock value but once you start thinking about it, then you seen the problems

I could write essays about David Cage's narrative fuckups. Don't tempt me. I need to sleep.

@@HeyitsTom999 Doooo iiiiiiiittt… .. an intricate web of dumb as dogsh.t forced choices delicately interconnected by plot holes big enough to drive trucks through..

Exactly that. The twist has never made any sort of sense to me. I am all for unreliable narrators, but he didn't really do that.

He also has some vague idea about how to use video games as a medium, but half way through he got confused and mess things up. Case in point, quick time events. QTE was used to make "cool" cutscenes less tedious and boring for the audience. Cage grabbed that idea and adopt it to a narrative, mood setting tool. Making characters do QTE for mundane task in helps the audience getting through the "boring parts" of movies where the mood is set is probably what he was thinking. Imagine in Blade Runner when Deckard was looking through the tape, there's QTE to zoom in, observe, collect etc... This sounds, good on paper, but as we know in gameplay it looks ridiculous because Cage also thinks that failing QTE should not end the game and QTE itself is gameplay, or even engaging. The failing QTE not ending the game is a good idea, but it missed the point of QTE as a tool, which is why it seems boring. The ideal usage that he had, was to use QTE failing and completing to replace "dialogue choice" of the usual narrative games, is not bad at all, but he puts QTE everywhere which ruins the experience. QTE ended up not setting the mood but ruin it or turns it upside down to comedy more like. Mundane tasks should have just been done with one button, or as he did occasionally, completely optional as "side quests" to know more about the background, or let the player stumble into secrets that they otherwise might not discover that changes the course of the game. Related to this, as I have mentioned is the idea of choices. QTE replacing choices are good, or as I've mentioned above, small interactions that might have consequences down the line without it being an obvious "choice". In Detroit, Cage found a fun way narrative device about decisions by putting up the android breaking the "choices", represented as their "programming". Had he went further by no longer giving us options on the menu and the android simply make decisions with us merely controlling what and how they interact with the environment, it would have seemed a bit clever. Of course, all it did in term of gameplay is fuckall. Cage has good ideas, but his executions are abysmal. I wouldn't even go into his writing such as Fahrenheit being a pile of shit because of asspull, Heavy Rain mystery breaking down at the end, Detroit's asinine comparison between androids and civil right, comically missing the point of the entire movement. His games are sad because he has such huge support, budget and sales, yet all of his projects have huge unfulfilled potential, almost as if Cage is a director wanna be but he couldn't so he had to resort to video games without thoroughly examine or enjoying the medium. It's as Clancy Brown said. If someone competent takes over directive control from Cage and he serves as producer, it could be great.

That was hilarious

Poor saps. All you need is one hand 👌

Yup

What I've only played up until the first of those blackouts, and was pretty much ready to write the game off until that scene. It made me place it in the "should probably give it another go at some point"-pile pretty much because of the promise of that scene, because that actually seemed kind of interesting. So you're telling me it's never explained nor relevant? Alright, thanks for saving me a couple of hours of playing the game I guess =)

@@krank23 like the story is an interesting concept. Serial killer kidnaps kid, and the father has to go on a jigsaw like scavenger hunt to rescue him. Like Shelby said when it first came out I was blown back by how this game told the story though it was less of a game and more of a choose your own adventure, and I do have a soft spot for these games. Looking back though, yeah David Cage has to have something against women because in this game the female character is put in so many situations where she is brutally assaulted sexually and otherwise. Whether it’s her “being sexy” to get info from the club owner who the tried to R*pe her or a mad man who thinks violating her with a drill is a good idea. Like, just wow. I mean the child targeting serial killer was more likable than 90% of the people she interacted with.

@@adavies425 Remember that scene in Beyond 2 Souls where Aiden kills everyone that sleazy bar that was about to rape Elliot Page’s character? Did you know that there was a plan to give the scene a fail state where she *does* get raped? And that he recorded all of the audio, including Jodie begging her ghost pal on why he didn’t stop the rape?

@@thirdeye9698 What? Rape? In a game where you can burn teenagers alive? Wow, would've been too far, right?

What the hell did this guy see in Heavy Rain that was in any way reminiscent of Final Fantasy or Kingdom Hearts?

@@ryanbarham8464 he obviously was one of the employees that either didnt play games or didnt play rpgs cuz no one viewed heavy rain as an rpg when it came out. thats why i never listened to the gamestore employees growing up.

My friend group got stuck at the orange juice.

This is honestly the best way to play Heavy Rain and Detroit. Assign characters. Tons of fun.

wait, this game has multiplay feature?

@@SuperhotdogZz no they mean that each of them took turns using the controller whenever their assigned character was playable

@@guy6074 man, that is just so old school lol

The concept of what a David Cage came is can sound pretty cool. But the execution is always a mess. Detroit Become Human is far and away his best crack at it, and how many tries did he did to get to just being decent

My wife would never allow this. "JASON!" on the other hand...

It was more brutal than anything he did in that new season of Dexter.

mr krab just committed a murder

Lol, basically Cage games are the biggest reason Sony exclusive memes exist. Pretentious games which some clowns think are deep and interesting but in reality it's 🐴 💩

lol i love stories like that. like having a friend tell you the plot points to something and thinking "wow they're really hyped about this" then at some point in the story "oh wait they kind of hate this". and for what it's worth i still really love this game. i guess the stilted writing and the qte just don't bother me that much. the branching narrative and the slick presentation (not just talking about the graphics) really account for a lot in my book.

Love that idea 👍

The channel Super Best Friends Play play Detroit Become Human by each of the channel members play one of the playable characters, which gets interesting in certain points.

@@callumdonington2227 we payed it the same way - it’s aaaaawesome

“Gamer’s Wife,” really? You straight up tried to rip off this channel, I’m happy it’s not working out.

@@merchkerns Don't judge too harsh. Many things get ripped off nowadays, and in this case it's not even hurting anybody. They only target russian people who maybe don't know english so well. So calm down and let them have it.

I was wondering why it's such a banger if a song ha

I'm in the same boat. With each new game I think, "Maybe, maybe this time David Cage will finally actualize the vision he's been chasing and make a good game version of that." There are parts of all of the games that I like; Omikron's body-stealing, Farenheit's you-are-the-murderer-and-the-investigator approach where you can change how things play out, Heavy Rain's focus on how much Ethan's mundane life falls apart, everything with Connor in Detroit, the idea of a co-op experience in Two Souls. It's just that none of those great conceits have quite carried over to being great games. Maybe one day. Maybe the next Quantic Dreams game will.

@@varsoonhks3211 Yeah. I'm done giving him chances, I'm going to wait for some other dev to get inspired by the good parts of Cage's envelope-pushing stuff. I'm not done because of the bad games; I could always get them for next to nothing a few years down the line if I felt they just weren't worth the cost of entry. No, I'm 100% done because of the "creep" part. From what came out around Two Souls and his creepiness around Elliot Page, his bragging etc… not to mention the stuff that's come out about working conditions at Quantic, homophobia etc… Nah, I'm out. Maybe the next game will be good maybe not, either way I'm out.

I think part of the problem is he is so arrogant in believing his vision is the only right vision, that he doesn't outsource any of the writing and directing to anyone else around him. Frankly, he isn't a good enough writer, and would benefit greatly from allowing someone else to have input.

@@chronicallychic Absolutely. I do not know that he has grown as a writer very much through the decades, either.

For sure, it was praised for "just trying" to do some of these dramatic things that games at that time never really attempted. Looking back on it though it was like 'wow in my head this seemed way better than it actually was' lol

Wasn't it the father of the copycat killer that left the flowers?

@@DMindGaming that catches a lot of people, but Kramer actually leaves the flowers *after* Scott wonders this out loud to himself. As a note; he leaves those flowers there because Shelby’s brother died on a construction site he owned; and he always felt guilty about it. Not because of anything relating to the origami killer plot.

​@@GreyRush Maybe Kramer regularly leaves flowers on the grave and those were the flowers that he left the last time he visited. Or maybe Shelby was just being sarcastic in his head cause they're trying to find the one who left the flowers cause they (Lauren) believes that it's the Origami Killer but Shelby obviously already knows this so he's like "oh gee I wonder who left those flowers there?". He does also make other snide thoughts like "This girl just doesn't know when to give up" when Lauren was following his trail while Shelby was trying to follow the copycat killer's trail so it's not out of the picture (cause usually Shelby's inner thoughts doesn't contradict that he knows he's the killer).

I want everyone to take a moment and ponder just why 12 years after it first hit the stores, people continue to dissect the plot and seem to remember absolutely every tiny detail from it. No matter what you think of it in terms of art quality, this is without a doubt an _extremely_ memorable game. And there is something strangely attractive about it, you just can't stop thinking about it. Even Honest Trailers admitted that.

@@yarpen26 Oh absolutely. The lizard trial remains, even with all my complaints about the story; one of the most captivating and attention grabbing sequences of any game in this style. I just wish it had more consequence if you did it poorly, considering all the different ways you could go about it.

Damn it was honestly what most parodies should be. Excellent rhythm and rhyming that invoked the original song

Best song since Bonk My Head

@@vmp916 evoked. Invoked would be like a ritual summoning a demon.

"mess up my hair - hit with a chair" LMAO 🤣

@@Dunkle0steus did I st-stutter

*laughs in Fahrenheit*

Check the video description.

I think they put the link in the video description.

@@nocandoslurms433 thanks

Even Ethan agrees

It's around the 53 minute mark

David Based Cage

Oh yeah he is homophobic

David "Two Nukes Weren't Enough" Cage

@@arthuredington6171 cry louder, oh snowflake, the real world is going to hit you SO hard one day ...

David " creates a nude model of Elliot Page" Cage

show this to them!!! haha

He wasn't parked in a handicapped space though :) ... IYKYK

I think we all have a love-hate with David Cage games

I platinumed DBH and I advice against playing it

Shenmue Syndrome
