this is both the 2012 equivalent to crazy, weird old NES games and the most summer blockbuster-y dumb game in quite some time. do you really want it, of all things, to tackle the idea of "What is human?"

honestly, they probably did the subject more respect by not going into it

(I guess they deal with it when you fall in love with her and can make one the RUST crew save her at end game and/or the scene with the hollow child at the underground market, to which the answer is "Humans are understanding, but it takes a while, okay")

well, technically, he hates robots because he exists in a universe with Asimov's laws of robotics apply, at least to domestic robots, because their robot didn't do anything to stop his horrible dad

funnily enough, iirc, you see the flashback for that after French Robo betrays you

dammit, I want to play this again now; I need to get the ending where everyone lives anyways (I've lost Bo (Bo...) and Rachel ( :`( ) in my playthroughs so far)

anyway, I guess the real joke is that since one of the top US generals was a hollow child and they have robots that make babies, their other answer to "What is human" is "not much, apparently"

Unfortunately? Not having a headset makes the game heaps better because you aren't spending time arguing with voice recognition software. Though I imagine there's some novelty in a game responding to you going "Fuck!".

If you can run it, the PC port is mighty fine, but can't say no to free*.

I cannot fathom how anyone could hate a game with a boss that is, essentially, a giant disco ball with guns

having robot enemies is also the best way I've seen the whole "I'm shooting them, but they're not reacting from being shot because video games" handled, in concert with the no-head berserk-mode, encourages, nay, dares you to piece them apart

if there was a just and fair God, we'd get another BD and the Gears of Contra thing onami threatens us with would die a horrible death
