15. Also I want to point out that the controls are really frustrating sometimes, the motion controls are unwelcome and you can't turn them off. You also need to randomly use the touchpad and it's uncomfortable and annoying to swipe it certain ways when you just want to hold a damn controller and not have to worry about constantly repositioning your hands.

You also perform actions AND control the camera with the right analog stick, which surprisingly works most of the time but unsurprisingly is incredibly frustrating while you're first getting the hang of things and in some sections of the game where you need to be more precise with where you point the camera.

There's no dumb segments in the game where David Cage makes you hold like 13 buttons and wiggle both sticks so I guess he learned that artificial "do your hands have enough dexterity" challenges aren't welcome.

What is welcome is not having to hold R2 to walk, fuck that. Heavy Rain really was the worst.

16. Set design and world are really pretty and fun to look at. Areas have a good amount to explore although aren't that interactive.

17. Holy shit the whole "Markus touches you and you are now a Deviant Android" is such lazy writing. Later in the game he doesn't even need to touch you and he can kind of just gesture in your direction. They obviously didn't want to write around "Markus has to explain his cause to every Android he meets and convince them to join," but the fact that no Android has any reservations with joining him once they've merely been touched is such an eye-rolling plot point of this game.

The beginning of the game makes it a point to show some Androids are pretty happy with their situations and are friends of the family. They also make a point to show that Androids fear death. Wouldn't some Androids, when touched by Markus, be like "yeah man I'm good, I like my owner and I don't wanna die." I'm not saying here that slavery is better but I can't believe there is a 100% acceptance rate as long as Markus touches you. What?

Markus could be "brainwashing" the other Androids so that they all share his exact goals. Other Androids that reached Deviant status on their own seemed to have their own interpretations of right and wrong. Markus forcing his way of thinking on the other Androids is like its own brand of slavery. Even during American slave times you had "house slaves" and "Uncle Toms" which is not a great thing to think about but they did exist.

18. Acting is way improved over the other games, and there's no out-of-place French accents like in the others. Nice to know David Cage went out of his way to get American actors to appear in his game set in America for once.
