Just started a new mission and uh... this is the start it gave me, that's the starting room with all my agents in it, and a stationary guard watching the sole door out, uh....
I guess it's good I have an invisibility rig but boy does that seem like some random generation bullshit?
not really? you should be able to get his attention, and then ambush him when he comes to investigate.
(it'll be annoying to babysit him, but it should be doable)

Decker's power sucks, unfortunately. Rush is a bunch of fun, but it's absolutely high risk high reward. Make sure you hack the sound sensors if you want to use her without the alarm going nuts.
And yeah, that guard setup sucks. Open the door while you're standing to the side, draw him over to investigate, and then hide elsewhere in the room. When he thinks it's nothing, he'll turn around to walk back to his post, during which you might have enough time to slip everyone past him? Or invisibility suit your way into the room and open another door he can see, then everyone can run past him while he's investigating that? Or just knock him out.

Oh right, I forgot you could open doors to attract people. Still annoying that I'll basically have an agent out for the whole level keeping a knee on his throat though.
Didn't think about baiting him into the room and then running past him either, Straightzi. I think this highlights the issue Austin Walker was talking about in his GOTY speech for the game, a lot of times, early on this game feels very unfair because the game does a bad job of surfacing your choices to you in situations like these, the games tutorial is really rather insufficient. I currently have zero idea what a guards behavior is going to be like when he walks through the door and no one ambushes him because I've never been in the situation before.
I'll try luring and sneaking past, and keep a re-wind and go for the doorway ambush keep a knee on his throat approach if that fails.
I thoroughly abused running for one step and walking the rest of the way to constantly keep guards in places I just left; don't know if they patched that
Marty: The future, it's where you're going? Doc: That's right, twenty five years into the future. I've always dreamed on seeing the future, looking beyond my years, seeing the progress of mankind. I'll also be able to see who wins the next twenty-five world series.

I've only played two of David Cage's games, but since he wants me to judge him by his works, I can attest that his works are full of lazy racial stereotypes and that they contain superfluous sequences that exist only for the player to be able to engage in literal control of female characters in various states of undress, all the better to let you leer at them.

That stuff is why I am not surprised by this:
In the meeting room where Le Monde met with David Cage two times, he assures that "Quantic is not a rugby cloakroom". Just behind him, on a board, a dick with testicules farting was drawn.
I guess id never think to describe dickbutt like that
But it's not wrong
"A dick with testicules farting was drawn" has a compelling cadence

I had never played Indigo Prophecy but I had both seen and heard of that opening sequence in the diner and I remember thinking "man what a cool idea for a video game, and with the multiple perspectives? that's so dope, that game seems really cool"
And then later I heard the story got really stupid, and I assumed I knew what that meant
If you watch the opening scene of Indigo Prophecy and then accurately predict where the story is going, proceed to the nearest hospital

An old demo disc had the opening diner scene of Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy if you're from anywhere in the world other than North America) and I thought it seemed like a cool detective story kind of thing with a twist.
Then I read a review.

I believe it's actually accurate to say one of the villains in Indigo Prophecy is a physical embodiment of the internet
This villain also appears out of literally nowhere, with no explanation, no foreshadowing, for no particular reason at the exact moment in the story where you're pretty sure you've finally got a handle on what the fuck is happening
And when you say laughable you mean it, like real deal dumb dumb racist stuff, like if a kid said it I'd be mad at the kid and also worry about the kind being stupid

heavy rain might be the worst game I've ever beaten, and this is coming from someone who once finished Super Empire Strikes Back
Even if you remove everything in Heavy Rain that's questionable in terms of race, sexuality, gender, and skeevy male-gaze stuff, you still are stuck with a plot that hinges on breaking its own established rules in an egregious and insulting manner.

This is during stealth - running makes noise, so running one square is the equivalent of MGS knocking on a wall.

Yeah, so much of my experience playing the game has been "I wonder if I can use this to do that"
And sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't
I wouldn't mind it if it wasn't a roguelike with permanent consequences, but, I guess that's why beginner gives you 5 rewinds.
I wonder what caused the bump? I've seen more people talking about it on Twitter but has some streamer done something lately?

This game has an 85% on metacritic and a very positive rating on Steam.
I remember liking it. Was I that desperate for a story heavy game back then?
I'm a ghost
Eventually, it gets really weird, in a laugh out loud "I can't believe what is happening, this is so dumb" sort of way.
