Indigo Prophecy Highlights [Socpens/RTVS fan edit]

[@mamie8734]

This is David Cage at his best. PUREST form. Insane QTEs and nigh unbeatable helicopter scene. White guy voicing black guy

[@mamie8734]

How could I forget the Theory of a Deadman soundtrack. When I first saw the sandbag scene with my bestie we cried. We sit with the gallery open just to listen to cool ToaD (Theory of a Deadman) tracks. Fuck Spotify

[@OrganicSuperlube]

"Ignoring the QTE when you're obviously hallucinating" might actually be the most clever idea a David Cage game has ever had. Of course, when the entire rest of the experience is such utter dogshit, it's hard to want to give credit to the little things.

[@hada__02]

To paraphrase Scott the Woz, “I’ve praised David Cage once, and that should do it for today!”

[@bigbadgammagnome]

I wish it made sense though. The entirety of the house attacking him scene was a hallucination, yet if you fail those QTEs Lucas kills himself. Same with the bugs, in a previous scene. I don't get how the player is supposed to figure out ignoring the bugs THIS time won't kill him, when it does every other time

[@DeltaXalpha]

Cage is on the cusp of a passible writer, like he has ideas that are good, but his ego and shittyness has to infect it all. Detroit for all the shit is like 1/3rd (give or take) a good game, connor and hank are fun, markus has some really good scenes, kara.......the actors were great. everything else.........not so much.

[@cell-84758]

"cusp of a plausible writer" is honestly the best description i have seen. some of these games have really cool basic concepts, but he completely goes off the rails and loses the original plot everytime, (+adds a bunch of uncomfortable shit) so it feels like a completely different game by the end

[@Kolbatsu]

This game is the genesis of all of Cage's writing tropes and sins. - Interesting Vertical slice mystery - Multiple playable characters one being a cop - pointless forced romance because boy and girl need to be together - weird racism and poor depictions of the mentally ill - the noble homeless - kids as props

[@littlesnowflakepunk855]

[@violet_turning_violent]

Loved the insanity of this game for years and watching the RTVS crew experience it was great. Always remember folks, the point of the game, despite all the weird plots is to slam dunk a autistic child into disco lava to learn the secrets of the universe.

[@doodleboi4744]

I love how this is the one game where Scorpy got the good ending without trying. In all the other ones, he immediately got the bad ends for ALL the characters

[@PhoxphorusKitKat]

Fun fact for anyone who doesn't know: If you ever wondered why the last part of the game felt so like, quick with so many sudden revelations and reveals. That's because Quantic Dream at the time was genuinely running out of money to make the game and thus, everything David Cage wanted to add to the story had to be cut out. Lord knows what he wanted to add to the game.

[@mercenaryTendencies]

The mental elf call-backs in the chat during the Silence of the Lambs scene were so good

[@legoshark99]

It's my favorite because it exposes to what degree David Cage really is an absolute hack. Like, despite having an entire mechanic dedicated to "Mental Elf" and managing it for the main characters, when time comes to depict the actually mentally unwell, the game wastes no time treating them like bloodthirsty velociraptors who would apparently kill a woman for literally no reason.

[@SwankyJami]

Fun fact! The voice actor of Lucas, David Gasman, also does the voice of Tyler!

[@thetrunkmonkey6151]

..that’s not fun

[@Foster04]

Yeah I know what you mean, I used to watch a lot of the compilations people would make of their LPs. It's the reason I started making these videos because it was the kind of thing I really love watching.

[@patriciaaguilera6932]

Watching this stream like this really brings home how this game's plot feels like 5 different movies stitched together

[@LifesNeverHumDrum]

It’s every cool movie David Cage saw stitched poorly together

[@warren_waters]

He's the angriest gamer you've ever heard...

[@catg4343]

the thing that’s so funny about this game is how fast and how hard it goes off the rails. it could’ve just been a subpar game about a guy who has hallucinations that cause him to kill someone, then okay, sure, he sometimes has visions of the future okay whatever. then BAM evil internet beings BAM weird depictions of autistic people BAM homeless people cult BAM worlds funniest psychic fight scene when they said the game went insane at the end i was expecting like. the main character having a hallucination of a world ending event or something, NOT… ALL THAT. also, another really funny thing about this game is that i tried to watch this highlights video 3 separate times, and each time i fell asleep before any of the weird stuff past the visions happened. so imagine my horrified surprise when i woke up one day after falling asleep with this video autoplaying, and realized that the funny game about a guy who killed a man in a diner bathroom had a flying matrix fight scene.

[@Knackered7]

This game starts off like heavy rain and then turns into a mix of the matrix and the mystery of the druids game.

[@yakketyyak6414]

Ive rewatched this dozens of times in the last, like, month. Learning of this game’s existence has fundamentally altered my brain chemistry. Something about this video lives rent free in my mind. It’s so enthralling in its insanity.

This is the only good Quantic Dream game and it’s because David Cage didn’t know how video games worked at all. When he kinda figured it out they stopped being FUNNY

the interesting thing about watching scorpy play this one is that he pretty much just plays it normally. for other david cage games he has to actively do something funny like mess up the qtrs, but indigo prophecy is such a masterpiece he doesn’t even have to do anything more. crazy game
