    I really liked Indigo Prophecy. The quality took a dive when it turned into the Matrix, but I still enjoyed it.

    I played the demo of Fahrenheit a couple of times, it looked quite interesting. Then I heard from multiple sources that it was bad, so I never bothered following up on it.

    How bad is it, on a scale of 1 (E.T. the extraterrestrial) to 10 (Resident Evil 4 my favourite game of all time)?

    I think that Heavy Rain bug rivals the rise of the Jackdaw. That's incredible.

    David Cage makes really dumb games

    But they're dumb in an occasionally entertaining way that nobody else is really doing, so I'm glad that he keeps doing it

    Hmmm, again, not having played his games, he seems sort of like a Molyneux figure, he's got ideas that are interesting, but the execution doesn't live up to the premise. Which is still something I like

    He has some interesting ideas, and then a lot of ideas that seem to be "imagine if videogames had all these bits in that have been done over and over in movies already, that would be really original"

    I say this having enjoyed Indigo Prophecy even after the point when the dude vaults onto the train (or bus, whatever it was), but maybe not by the time the plot exploded like an egg in a microwave.

    I don't regret playing Heavy Rain, but I really have no motivation to play it again to see how differently things can turn out.

    David Cage is a man who has interesting ideas but cannot help but execute them in half-assed ways. Plus he insists on writing the plots himself and he suffers from George Lucas syndrome, where he just knows he's so awesome and amazing that he refuses to let anyone chime in on what he's writing and say "Uh, maybe that isn't a good idea."

    And then there's the thing about his ego having its own ZIP code.

    All of his games are bad.

    But they're bad in some fairly unique ways for videogames and are almost worth checking out as a sort of exhibit on how creative elements of other mediums don't necessarily translate well into interactive media. Like they're worth checking out specifically because they're bad, because the why and how of them being bad is interesting from a design perspective.

    Basically, play David Cage games for literally the opposite reason of why David Cage thinks you ought to play them.

    Also buy them at a steep discount because they're interesting but not that fucking interesting.

    I like David Cage games in spite of themselves.

    I have no idea why.

    I didn't know Indiegala had several bundles going, but this one seemed pretty alright? ~3 bucks is ok for just Freddy's and a couple of the others seem interesting (and do have good reviews on steam) as well imo.

    It's a nice snowy day out, so I decided to finally play Never Alone

    This game is great

    I am unfortunately terrible at it, and cannot use the bola to save my life, so I probably won't play much more of it

    But it's real pretty, even on my shitty machine, and Nuna and Fox are adorable

    It's short, it's tough to aim the bola, but it's far more worth your time to play it to the end than reading anymore about David goddamn cage.
