15 Simple Things That Could Ruin 2018's Biggest Video Games

15. David Cage's Terrible Writing - Detroit: Become Human

As visually stunning and intriguing as the latest game from Quantic Dream and David Cage looks, it's smart to regard the sci-fi thriller title with a healthy dose of suspicion, if only because every single one of Cage's previous "interactive dramas" has spectacularly derailed itself by the third act.

Cage, often referred to as a "frustrated filmmaker", has little grasp for naturalistic dialogue or characters who behave remotely realistically, which combined with a usually left-field divergence into unintentional hilarity has ensured that Fahrenheit, Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls all fell short of their huge potential.

Cage could've learned his lesson - and hiring a co-writer for the first time, Adam Williams, is a little encouraging - but it still makes sense to expect plenty of the auteur's usual dramatic excesses.
