193 - Beyond: Two Souls (feat. David Armstrong)

steam is now selling this game for 2 dollars lol

I can't believe you got David Cage to appear in this episode.

Beyond: Two Souls fun fact! I have a friend who works as a games journalist, and she negatively reviewed this game. David Cage, being a normal and well adjusted man, when he saw her at GDC trapped her and another female writer in a room and screamed at them both about how they didn’t understand his vision until he was removed by his own handler.

The lads are content alchemists, turning shit into gold.

GHOST TRICK MENTIONED GRAAAAAAAHHHH (it’s my favorite game ever thanks for mentioning it fellas)

the rapping dog from the titanic animated film is a fucking sentence lmao

I need you people to stop doing French accents so horrible you’re just doing a bad Dutch accent.

This is one of like, 4 games my ex liked, and had to play through it at least twice

I get David's hang up about not wanting to see characters get hurt. I had a hell of a time playing RDR2 because I just kept refusing to participate in stuff, so much so that most of the game was Dutch et al. yelling at Arthur because he wasn't moving, or was walking into a lake. I skipped a lot of checkpoints.

of course i'm listening to this while i'm in mulhouse

The evidence builds for a secret Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron episode hidden in the TWOAPW vault

Alternative title, Beyond Two: Souls

Loving the quantic dream episodes, sorry that you had to play all that garbage

Josh playing Blue Prince instead of this game is objectively the correct thing to do. :P

By the way, I learned “there’s a place on Mars where the women smoke cigars”

For demographic info I was in Arizona basically from 2-12 and it was "there's a place in France where the naked ladies dance"

Man not know in this game, when AJ first brought up Kazirstan and mention it being made up. I didn’t realize the game made up a place called Kazirstan. I thought for a second AJ was horribly mispronouncing Kazakhstan and thought it was made up for Borat! Sorry for doubting you AJ!

I just started listening, but once I realized that this was going to be about a terrible video game, that you all hate,I decided it would be more entertaining for me than an average video game episode. I love listening to people complain about things they hate as long as the things are ultimately not that important. Out of curiosity, what would be an actual good game for people who have never played games before?

David sounds like Professor Doofenshmirtz 🤣

Screaming, crying, throwing up etc. very excited to listen and hope y'all make it to the rest of the Quantic Dream ouevre before long, Detroit especially

I cheered so loudly when I saw the notification for this episode pop up on my phone this morning.

"Because in spite of all their rage, they would still be trapped, in David Cage." ... *sigh*

Did you guys do an episode on Control?

The Ryan/Jodie background music at 49min had me primed for wailing woman from Witcher 3. Game could benefit from some Silver for Monsters

@09:44 thank god i put the baby in daycare before this episode

48min mark: filing this in AJ's dossier under "we always kinda knew didn't we" if allegations ever come out

Oops I made the bad game

NGL, looking forward to the compilation of different AJ's Horse Corner at the end of the year cause they have been on fire.

shout-out white santa!

Y'all gonna revisit Disco Elysium when the Android version comes out?

Finally I have been WAITING for this gem. So glad you all lost your minds with this awful game. David Cage is a hack of a writer and it drive me insane people think he's great. Can't wait to see Cage fix racism next time in Detroit.

Nobody should ever play Omikron: The Nomad Soul so I'll inform everyone that in it you play as a Gamer from the real world body hopping between people and one of the first things you do in the game is possess a guy and fuck his wife with his own body. In an interview David Cage said that this was the kind of strange situation he wanted to explore in his games. Horrible pervert

I think the perfect way to describe this game is: "Are we hooked now? No, f*ck you."

Alright, fine, you got me to become a patron.

You're going to love Detroit Become Human when you get to it

I'm 15 minutes in and already this episode is a hall-of-famer

Aite you heard the lads. Time to push for an Indigo Prophecy episode by bumping our patreon tier sub.

The sex scene in Omikron the Nomad Soul is it's yet another case of Cage being a rape obsessed pervert. The whole gimmick of Omikron is that you the player are the Nomad Soul, and you start the game possessing a guy named Kayl. You then go home to Kayl's apartment where his wife is waiting and she immediately wants to have sex. If you tell her you're not Kayl she asks if you're alright, at which point the player lies to her and just claims to have suffered memory loss. Then the sex scene happens. To be clear, she is acting under the assumption she's sleeping with her husband, and not some creep in his body who knowingly lies to her. Omikron starts with a sexual assault by deception that is treated like a typical video game sex scene. The game never acknowledges how disgusting this act is, and Cage has talked with glowing pride about that scene. He does not get 1/10 of the hate he deserves.

The Remedy slander remains insaaaane to me, but I'm glad we can all agree that dunking on David Cage is a spiritually fufilling activity <3
