Do you want this game to be official canon? Why? Was there something you didn't like storywise? Would you have done something differently? What was the best part, what was the worst? It would be nice to "hear" other peoples opinion about the story.

It is!

I would've like a brand new machine to take on, I also found it strange (but predictable) that the Old Man becomes Robocop 2.5.

Wendell should've been either Clarence Boddicker's brother, or Cain's.

Yeah. I was disappointed about the Old Man becoming new Robocop 2. Actually It was horrible choice story wise in my opinion. I was literally saying out loud :"WTF were they thinking?!"

An excuse to explain why he wasn't in Robocop 3.

Him dying was enough, I'd rather have had Wendell or Becker become the machine.

The game needed more boss fights, we only got two ED-209's and OldRoboMan.

I liked the stuff that dealt with just the gangs and the little sidequest crimes. The main story was alright, the main villain didn't seem very intimidating or interesting, and his motivations seemed unclear past "I want sorta revenge on RoboCop, but also my own Delta City, and Afterlife" but maybe that's to mimic the kind of "camp" of 80's action movies. Also, he must be the dumbest villain alive since he just watched an entire platoon of mercenaries with COBRAs, turrets, UEDs and "blitz units" get mowed down by RoboCop but thinks he can take him with a micro uzi.

Haven't gotten all the endings, I picked leaving old man to die at the end and it felt like a fitting ending to a RoboCop movie.

I may have to replay to see how all the story plays out with like all the different things you can do to support others, who you choose for mayor, etc. My initial playthrough I rode the line of robot - human, little more human / empathy choices to "fit" what I thought RoboCop would do as a hero. I'm guessing if you just go hardline law enforcement things play out differently. Overall I think the story was actually really good for a RoboCop style movie.

I'm a bit on the fence on the story if i have to be honest.

Spoilertagged for obvious reasons...


I am at least decided on the fact that the UED's and the last boss of the game felt lackluster...

The UED's were literally based on one of the "failed" robocop 2 models and the last boss, well yeah literally a copy of RoboCop 2, just a different brain inside...

Yeah, Wendell or Becker. I've even would've accepted Kain or Boddicker. :D

What bothered me in the story that they got rid of Lewis so soon. I did like Ulysses character. but I would've rather did some adventuring with Lewis. Or give us a choice to choose Lewis or Ulysses to come with us.

At times the game just felt like horrible fan fiction, at times it felt like a proper Robocop 2 Sequel. I did not like the Robocop 2 robots. Where there brains inside them? Anyway, it was kinda far fetched.

Also just before robocop shoots Wendell of the roof, why was it that Robocop couldn't locate where Wendell was shouting from? :D That was just stupid.

[LegionIscariot]

Rogue City is my Robocop 3

[Knoxklay11]

ulysses is annoying as hell. i want lewis back.

[TheDutchGhost]

It is alright. I liked some of the parts but other ideas I have seen before in comics but I would not say it was done better in them.
I think the story is fun for people who like Robocop but understand it will never be as good as the first movie.

[slymanrc]

Having just completed my first playthrough ("Murphy" path), I think the story was rather compelling, though perhaps a little too heavy-leaning on the nostalgia. Which while that was a huge plus in most aspects of the game, it can actually serve to hurt in the writing department. In this case it was minimal, just serving to make the story a bit predictable but no less enjoyable or satisfying.

Honestly, even with that predictability, with everything else the Teyon brought to the table in this game... I was still edge-of-seat through it all.

[MonkeyBone]

I quite enjoyed my time. If I had any major complaints I suppose they would be:

-ulysses. We didn't need an eager puppy when we had Lewis.
-Old Man becoming Robocop 2. On one hand I'm very happy we got to fight it, on the other I wish he had a unique model. I can't imagine the old man would want to put his brain in a death machine over something more functional like Robocop, especially after the talks with him about humanity and stuff. Either way though I am glad it was a boss fight.
-the main bad guy wasn't all that interesting. He didn't have the charisma of Bodicker, or the presence of Kain. I found him quite boring to be honest.

That's honestly all I've got story-wise. A few hiccups but leaps and bounds above most AAA titles.

[Hunk Survivor]

The story was better than the robocop 3 movie so I won't complain. Ninja robots in suit? really?

[Chaingrower]

I loved the story a lot.

Lewis has plot armor, no tension at all for her getting hurt. Probably should have been Ulysses or another cop, but that would have needed a longer game for you to have more time with them.

Most of the original characters were good, particularly Ulysses. I feel like one of the weakest was Wendell. Because of his nature of being a facade, there was hardly anything really to him. The various gang leaders under him all felt like better characters than he did, so I think his character as a whole is what I'll call the weakest part.

The drones served as a good red herring for the missing brains. Becker's attitude helped confuse that, what with him outwardly hating the perceived human inefficiency of Murphy.

The old man was the highlight for me, and probably would have been even without the ending reveals. Talking to him at his old home, and later at the hospital were some of my favorite moments in the game, along with seeing his memorial in OCP. The 'save' ending really felt right to me to conclude his story.
His conclusions seem pretty justified for someone desperate to see his dream realized, and who clearly thought highly of Murphy.
Going crazy in the body feels fitting enough, considering the scene in 2 where Cain kills Angie, plus of course, all the prototypes before him. The old man was the first we know of who *wanted* to be put into one, so he shouldn't be suicidal like the prototypes were.
Using that particular body was strange story-wise, but obviously it was for the player to have a chance to fight it as a final boss.

Not story but I will say, that final boss fight itself was underwhelming. It needed more varied attacks, showing off the rest of that thing's arsenal

[WhitePhantom]

I liked it although it was limited by being between 2 and 3, and a lot of the story was written to steer us towards recreating scenes from the first 2 movies. Like Ghostbusters the videogame it's more of a checklist of scenes rather than an original story.

It would've been nice to see a new robot threat for Murphy to face rather than reusing existing cyborgs. How about something original like a group of failed Robocop 3 attempts who managed to escape OCP and become terrorists? Focus more on cyborgs wanting human rights with Murphy stuck between both sides.

Still I really enjoyed the game and I'll take it as canon, at least as a way of explaining why the Old Man wasn't in 3.
