i really dont know how people say detroit become human is better than heavy rain even on like a purely technical game design level like i guess it has less moments where you can deliberately make a mockery of the game through willfully rejecting the experience in front of you but thats because it literally forces itself to be a mockery no matter what you do

#even if we make the insane decision to completely ignore the astronomical difference in racism between dbh and his other games #which is so different both because of scope and intent #i dont know how you can pretend a pretty standardly executed murder mystery thriller save da kids plot is worse #than whatever the fucking hell ANY of the routes in dbh were #i especially dont understand people saying connors was the best route like obviously its because theyre trying #to distance their enjoyment of the game from the horrific COMPLETELY inexcusably bombastic racism #you encounter in the other two routes #but the solution of no no no no the really racist game is fine when youre playing as a cop is fucking insane #like even if you accept that connor's route being better in isolation is meaningful at all #the fact that youre forced to slam back into ITS EPIC COP TIME after every fucking thing that happens with kara and markus later on #literally makes the game 200 times more upsetting and horrific than it would be without connor in it #AND HIS SCENES ARENT EVEN GOOD #THEYRE ALL FUCKING DOGSHIT EXCEPT THE FIRST ONE #PEOPLE LITERALLY GOT INDIGO PROPHECIED AGAIN #LITERALLY ONE DECENT OPENING SCENE MADE THEM THINK A WHOLE GAME WAS GOOD
