Legends told of an age of darkness, a time of terrible writing and nonsensical plot twists, where sexism and racism run rampant and people pretend that making video games like movies is good, actually. This is an age known as CAGEMAS – now condensed for your convenience!
The third challenge blocking our hero is Beyond Two Souls, for David Cage’s latest trick he has brought in some heavy hitting Hollywood actors. Surely that means that this games HAS to be good. Right? Right?

Oh crap, we need a fictional country to make the bad guys, so we don't offend anyone. Uuuuhhhhhhhh…. how 'bout Afghambistan?
I actually loved this game because the co-op was hilarious.
As a big fan of David Cage I love your playthroughs.
These games are nuts and the writing ranges from legitimately interesting, to hacky BS that wouldn’t even be acceptable in a bad 90s sitcom, to straight up offensive or just batsh*t crazy. It’s amazing.
My favourite part is the tonal whiplash. I really enjoy that in media. Or stuff that makes say WTF or why would their agent let them do that?
every minute I was asking myself what is happening. I never found out

When weebs call you out on cringe you know you reached new heights.
Jodie being somehow forced to become a CIA operative is such weird writing
Thank you for these videos
the evil cloud thing that shows up at the ranch looks like it has the same visual style as the direct to dvd bionicle movies lmao
I have watched the Cagemas trilogy for i dunno how many times already and here i am once again
I am amazed by how the out of order retelling of the story not only makes it actively harder to follow it and get invested (Like the scene where Jodi contemplates suicide, but the player barely knows what got her to this point) but it also flies in the face of what Cage games try/pretend to be: You can't have a "choose your own story" game, if you constantly get flash forwards to stuff in the future that is now set in stone and none of your decisions can affect.
I got so bored watching someone else play this when it came out. Finally I'll be able to learn what this shit game is about haha.
My jaw dropped with the suicide at the end, even though I already knew it was coming
I miss ellen page and ellen page's boobs.
The fact that someone agreed to spend millions so Cage could have this weird level set on a reservation in the middle of the game is so interesting
Joe doesn’t know u make chicken curry with the bones in🤦🏾♀️
i love david cage because he is the Best worst director of all time. the tonal whiplash and sheer WTF moments of every game, sorry i mean movie, is a sight to behold. HOWEVER i hate this game because of how horribly broken its story is because its told in small chunks randomly. literally throwing darts at a board and seeing which part of her life you experience
Beyond Two Souls is legitimately one of the worst games of all time, I can't think of any legitimate positives the game has that doesn't have a massive catch
i like these videos but i honestly don't get what's so funny 🤨
i fucking wish cage games were movies, at least joe would be able to skip through the cringe, like me 😀 i am the happiest person alive since it IS a fucking movie for me!! Yippeee
the idea of non-linear storytelling is great, but when EVERYTHING is out of order, it makes for a shitty story.
I saw someone in the heavy rain vods mention Cage's reuse of set locations… and man am I really starting to see it.
21:20 ooooh she's gonna cook that baby
37:10 oh good, for a moment I thought it was editing leaving things out, but I'm glad it's not just me that thinks the jump to homeless girl, to goth, and then to rancher seemed a little incongruent.
Bless Willam Defoe for putting 100% into every role, no matter how bad the writing is.
I can't tell if that middle east mission is her first or not.
23:16 "hey watch this" gets possessed by his dead wife
I had a friend who bought this game on Steam because of the hype surrounding it when it was released. He got really frustrated with the invisible QTE's and tried to return it, but was denied.
It was Beyond Two Hours.
Dragon's Lair by David Cage
I was wondering why people say this game is worse than Fahrenheit but then I realised I'm probably getting bonus enjoyment from Joe narrating as the gost
I forgot just how much boring ass military shit is in this game.
I think David Cage forgot to put any story in his story video game
49:35 These games are just a chain of the worst writing you've ever seen being supplanted 5 minutes later by even worse writing, but that scene is the absolute top of the chain. I'm kinda impressed nobody slapped Cage and told him how stupid it was.
this is a really weird fallout 4 mod
1:00:45 this game came out in an era where Xi the pooh just took office, Putin was going for illusion of being ok before taking Crimea, so every movie/game had to have a random middle eastern state to be the villain.
Fun fact, even if you 'behave' during the experiment at the beginning and don't do anything besides enter the cards right and knock over a water bottle before going back to Jodie, the volunteer lady STILL loses her shit over practically nothing. Like it doesn't even matter, the whole thing plays out exactly the same, down to the crying and "it's never over" melodrama. Fucking ridiculous game.
boy am i glad i never played past the third level of this game
Annoying
Quick Jodie do your iconic shielded jump
I’m confused. At 13:11 on the bingo card there are two free spaces. I thought there was only supposed to be one, but there’s another in the bottom left?
bad edit!
Another entity needs your link. Here, I'll mark it on your map.
Is he calling her Elliot page ironically? She was literally Ellen page at this point 💀 how crazy can things get
i for real thought jodie was like 13-14 until she started dating ryan and popped out the wine
Dear god… every line makes me cringe
1:00:38 Don't know what's worse, him confusing it with Kazakhstan or Kyrgyzstan or simply being completely oblivious to the trope of a fake country with vaguely familiar naming. The town went to town on him with this one.
53:53 This is what happens when you don't read the news jodie smh
the game's so cringe i had to stop watching for a moment
