[@fable23]

The degree to which the opening section of his game, and by extension, the demo, does _not at all_ prepare you for the insanity that follows is honestly staggering. Imagine a movie advertised as a noir detective thriller where halfway through, the detective and serial killer suddenly develop psychic superhero powers and start having Matrix fights. The weird conspiracy soup that follows is just the icing on the pot roast. None of this shit goes together in the slightest.

[@rorybarber5076]

I remember hearing that the game was supposed to be way longer, or episodic or something. I wonder if all the 'Matrix shit" for lack of a better term was supposed to be more gradually introduced. This game really does feel like the first two or three episodes of a miniseries that abruptly cuts to the last episode with nothing in between.

[@PointsofData]

​​@@rorybarber5076 If that's true then both this and Heavy Rain had crucial plotlines cut but not entirely, leaving the audience floundering to figure out how this POSSIBLY fits into the story we were given. Truly the Cage style.

Cage unironically peaked here. This game is consistently hilarious

[@Pragabond]

Honestly David Cage's writing singlehandedly convinces me that AI has been around for decades and not only is David Cage an AI but he also CREATED an AI to write this story. A story written by an AI that was itself programmed by an AI. Nothing less than the human experience being double filtered through two AIs can explain this mess

[@Finn-wc8nq]

God that scene where he’s just dodging literally every single item in the apartment may be one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen

[@JagrasSneedandFeed]

Im pretty well versed in Cageology, but I learned all that from the school of Super Best Friends and my own independent studies. I'm extremely excited to get some remedial lessons from Joe

[@tyunre7773]

1:05:03 is such an exeptionally stupid moment that people are too focused on Lucas doing his discount Neo and forget that a cop is just shooting at incoming traffic.

[@God_gundam36]

I'd consider it a plot hole if a cop didn't shoot into traffic

[@SwagBroPlays]

The fact that David "The Hack" Cage managed to make so many games is WILD to me.

[@maxhowlett9661]

He's one of the worlds best con artists. Its almost magic, how he manages to trick people into believing his poorly written, tone deaf and frankly stupid stories are somehow deep and meaningful. Cage games are like an optical illusion. They appear to be a lake, deep and luxurious and inviting you to dive in. However, the second you dive in, your head smacks the concrete and you discover it was no more than a puddle.

[@soyunbonus]

Uwe Boll was allowed to make films so... I guess they're good at convincing people 😅

[@RadicalRegice]

i think being a hack is/was a lot more passable in the game industry

[@voyagerwitch]

i think he mostly uses sexual harassment and bad management to get his bad games made

[@backupschmliff1156]

At least they're fun bad. Unlike these copy and paste games you see nowadays. Bad games are always better than mediocre games.

[@burgertime6372]

Something that really bothers me is that the game is called Fahrenheit but it gives you the temperature in celcius the whole time

[@PointsofData]

OK now THAT'S just unacceptable

[@Valleyraven007]

Everytime I had heard about Fahrenheit, I always heard it was some older progenitor of Heavy Rain, being a murder mystery and a serial killer plot... I have never been so wrong

[@Acrylescent]

I was 14 when I first played this game. THE MOMENT was so fucking hype. I remember getting chills and thinking this game was a masterpiece. I had no idea that I was experiencing true unfiltered cringe. But now I’m very aware lol.

[@resiseven7407]

every david cage game appeals exclusively to 14 year olds

[@fleacythesheepgirl]

[@PointsofData]

I remember when Pat and Woolie were arguing over when the game took a sharp nose dive, only to find out they were arguing over literal seconds apart. It was fucking fantastic. I experienced this first from ChipCheezum and General Ironicus but every new experience with another youtuber and a new audience losing their goddamn minds over it is such a thing of beauty. Truly what David Cage intended all along.

[@aarongarcia5037]

1:06:35 my jaw legit dropped when he said this, this is one of my favorite joe streams tysm for this walrus

[@freshlymemed5680]

If this game came out today I'd be convinced they let an AI write the story.

[@MegaZeta]

I might be too till a certain point. The thing about the chatbots called “A.I.” by marketing departments is that their “stories” are safe and boring, since they’re just a computer model using an aggregation of documents to predict what word a human would expect to come after another word. It’s like serving someone a lukewarm aggregation of palatable food ingredients selected for their inoffensive blandness. So, if it “works”, what’s called “A.I.” today can’t really produce anything as bonkers as this script when it goes totally off the rails, not unless it’s told by one way or another to just copy this (or a similarly awkward) story, as already written by an overexcited human.

[@SunbleachedAngel]

[@edwardsuou]

I think people who think Beyond is worse than this one are crazy In Beyond at least some things make sense and there is something to appreciate. Some scene is well done as the journey of a protagonist who has a very good actor behind too. You can say it has a terrible final section and some of the most offensive scenes ever made. But in Fahrenheit literally everything doesn’t make any sense, consistency isn’t a thing. Characters act in ways it doesn’t make any sense. There are so many waste of time scenes in a game which is supposed to be a mystery to something that is complete BS. On top of that there are scenes like the one in the mental illness facility that are just as offensive, there is a child kidnapped from an orphanage and so on. A game which does like everything wrong except the very beginning (which is “good” to us at first because we assume the mystery isn’t shit) can’t be put above beyond or heavy rain which had potential and are not comical per se all the time. Don’t get me wrong this game is still entertaining but for all the wrong reasons and if you’re not in a mood to joke about it you would still have one of the worst experiences possible.

[@TheMasterUnity]

I think Beyond is worse because it's just so boring. Farenheit is complete comedy the whole way through

[@edwardsuou]

@TheMasterUnity that’s accidental not a merit of the game, it’s also mostly because of the inferior graphics The game takes itself seriously and it’s quite possible you try as well and get mad or disappointed when it falls apart instead of laughing. It’s like having fun with Fallout 76 bugs, that’s not a merit.

[@HellecticMojo]

Beyond is physically nauseating for me. The wobbly camera during the out of body experiences on top of the murky pallette really makes the entire thing unpleasant. I've seen beyond LPs the least because of that.

[@KnightoftheSorryFace]

@@edwardsuou I dunno man, I can't see anybody making this game and taking it seriously. Also, the majority of the comedy comes from the absolute absurdity, not the graphics

[@Winasaurus]

I think Beyond is maybe worse in the sense that it's more of a slap in the face. You can excuse this being jank because it's an older game and there's a lot that doesn't seem to be taking itself totally seriously, like I don't think you're meant to be fighting giant fleas(?) and thinking "Hmm yes how interesting, what insightful commentary", same for the demon saying "Thanks Carla :)", plus a lot of it is just kind of boring in the same way a b-movie is boring. Filler bit where you play basketball, filler love angle you don't care about, pointless plot twist. Meanwhile Beyond puts a character that looks like a 12 year old girl in what almost looks like black skater gear and is like "No, she's a super epic CIA agent, take this seriously. >:(", and that's one of the least offensive parts of the game. The homeless section literally looks like someone roleplaying homelessness as a joke. Plus it being a continuation of Cage's "Let's put this female character into as many compromising vulnerable positions as possible" that he really kicked off in Heavy Rain. Fahrenheit is a bad, silly story in a bad game. Beyond is an atrocious, arguably disgusting and tasteless story, still in a bad game. I'd much rather watch a movie I think is dumb and boring than one that actually makes my skin crawl because the director comes off like a massive creep. And the gameplay of both is so bad to be negligible to the overall experience.

[@Crimson350]

That doom music was perfect. Well done.

[@tuckeredout2887]

this game is like a child playing with his action figures.

[@Romanticoutlaw]

I have a special kind of distaste for this game. For multiple years, I was stuck on the simon says segment in his apartment, specifically when you have to mash left and right. See, thing is, it's possible to mash _too fast for the game to register,_ at least on the machine I'd been playing it on. I had never encountered that in a video game before. So I was forced to give up on it, until I learned about that, and came back, and proceeded to beat the game in one sitting out of spite. It still ignites something in me when I see that scene

[@DwarfElvishDiplomacy]

"David Cage is a golden god" - Jesse Cox "Emoootiens" - David Cage

[@Winasaurus]

Before watching the heavy rain video, here's my guesses for the 3 awful things in heavy rain: (Spoilers if you care I guess) Scott killing that guy while you're controlling him in a split-second cutaway The weird way Madison is treated (ie constantly sexualized) Maybe that Norman has, as far as I know, 0 explanation for his future tech and super drugs. EDIT: Okay, so I was basically on for Madison and Scott, as in, she's sexualized in a dumb way and Scott being the killer makes no sense to the point they do dumb shit like split-second cutaway kills and his thoughts don't match. For Ethan I always thought of it that he's blacking out from the stress and in that mad fervor he's making origami because he's obsessing over the origami killer. Like a nervous tic or that he's even making it just to see if he makes the same kind of origami as the killer. Like copying someone's motions in a conversation to 'connect' better, but he's doing it with the origami. Definitely could do with more explanation though. I really thought Joe would care more about Norman being an implicit time-traveler. But then again that's an anime trope so maybe he doesn't mind that.

[@Adoochi]

From what I remember, the whole thing with Ethan's blackouts was because of a plotline that was dropped late in development. He was apparently supposed to have a supernatural connection with the killer and that's why he was having blackouts.

[@PointsofData]

​@@Adoochi Yes, Ethan's blackouts and strange fever dreams and all that were supposed to be for a supernatural plotline that got cut. But they didn't cut out those initial scenes. So we have "Ethan might be the serial killer" as a plotline when he was in a coma in the hospital during the initial new killings lmfao.

[@QuestIonAskin]

Indigo Prophecy was enough to let me know I wouldn’t like any of the other games. These are not games. They’re a mix of Where’s Waldo and digital audio books. Which I’m not saying is a bad thing. Obviously they have their audience. These types of games have never been my type of games. If I wanted a novel, I would just read a novel. When I want to play a game, I don’t load Amazon Video and watch a movie. That’s just me. I can’t speak for everybody else.

[@Esberns]

I can't tell if the furnature dodging boss figbt music is in the game or a joke, it sounds way to serious to be real but doing all that with no music would be so akward

[@myyoutubeaccount4167]

I don’t think that specific song was part of the game because there was no sound from the furniture or anything, just “Joe”.

[@myyoutubeaccount4167]

Though I’m not certain

[@quantumblauthor7300]

Or maybe there was different music

[@Winasaurus]

There is music in the scene normally, but it's pretty generic and the audio does sound particularly cheap in that scene. The song edited in is "The Only Thing They Fear Is You" from Doom Eternal, which is why it sounds way too serious for this game.

[@HarryS77]
