Detroit: Become Human (2018)
Massively overrated, extremely boring with pointless QTE's
I bought this game on sale because it was cheap, and I'd heard lots of good things about it. I really wish I'd bothered to watch some videos of the game play before buying, though. Would have saved me some headache and an hour of my life that I'll never get back again.
Played through to the end of the scene with Kara, and quite frankly I'm just at a complete loss as to what this game is supposed to be about. Yes, I've seen the reviews talking about how it's focused on the "slavery" concept, but a game isn't built on concepts, implementation is what matters. So far, I haven't seen anything compelling about the game play to incite me to continue further.
Add to that the obnoxious QTE's with varying random key inputs that you have to follow, and it makes for a boring game that's not worth my time. I mean, why should I have to do a specific move to open a simple door, when a single key input would have sufficed? If I hadn't got it at such a cheap price, I wouldn't even keep it in my inventory. As it is, I don't see myself bothering to play any further.
I would have rated this 1/10, except that the graphics are pretty good (even though the voice syncing could have been better). Unfortunately, a shiny package does not a game make.
XIII: The Conspiracy (2008)
Predictable plot, predictable liberal bias
I bought this in the hopes that it would be a decent game-to-movie conversion. Although, in this case, it appears to have been based on the original book, which I did not realize existed at the time. I bought it cheap, because I doubted it would be. And I was right.
Of course, the "good" president is a Democrat, who is "bringing the troops home". FYI, the Commander-In-Chief is not in charge of keeping the troops safe, (s)he is in charge of leading the troops. We all want the troops to be safe, but their job is not a safe one. The CIC is there to command them, not coddle them.
Predictable.
They had to mention Haditha, and dishonorably discharged Marines (who became bad guys). Never mind the fact that every Marine from Haditha was cleared of all wrongdoing.
Predictable.
The really evil bad guy is none other than the "Republican" presidential candidate. Gee, I never saw that one coming.
Predictable.
The good guy magically disarms a nuclear bomb that's seconds away from blowing up (and they don't even show how he did it).
Predictable (and lazy script writing, to boot).
In short, I wasted $10 on this drivel, it wasn't even worth half that. I'm just glad I didn't spend the extra $5 on the Blu-Ray version.
