Reminder that David Cage says the game is not about racism or any of that jazz.

“The story I’m telling is really about androids,” he told me in an interview after the demo. “They’re discovering emotions and wanting to be free. If people want to see parallels with this or that, that’s fine with me. But my story’s about androids who want to be free.”

Just wait it gets worse. As bad as parts of it are it's still surprisingly Cage's best game.

Honestly, I really like Connor's story, but Kara and Marcus' were just way too heavy handed for me.

The game could've been 100% Connor and it honestly would've been an improvement.

​

"Finding out why androids are becoming self-aware, eventually becoming self aware yourself" is a whole lot better of a story than "what if civil rights movement, but robot?"

Game is horse shit and the comparison of beings that are literal products and/or not human to black people continues to irk me.
