Kamski Test and its influence on/reactions from Connor and Hank

Finally playing this game, since I was able to grab the QD bundle for $10 on Steam. Just finished the Kamski test and... i'm underwhelmed by every reaction to sparing the Chloe android.

YES, Connor's purpose is to accomplish the mission of preventing a deviant uprising. However, as an android, it is physically impossible for him to act against instructions without mentally breaking through his programming - we see this in both of the other protagonists.

Against the entire game's premise of "deviating being an action and choice," when CHOOSING to spare the android, we're not forced to break through programming -- I attribute this to the fact that Hank tells you NOT TO SHOOT HER and to LEAVE. But when you do leave, Hank asks why you didn't shoot her and Connor talks about ... her humanity? Instead of saying "You told me not to!" like an android with sense. He was listening to a directive given by his assigned human, which surely is more important than his own wishes -- as we see when given the choice to fight back as Markus aaaaall the way back in chapter 8.

This is less of an opinion and more of my suffering from the David Cage Effect in this game. Ugh.

Am I the only one whos noticed this minor hole around blue blood?

Blue blood is available in bottles and bags as replacement parts for androids at mass scale (which is a discussion for another day on how this indicates cyberlife is not only aware of but enables mass-scale abuse towards androids) and doesn't appear to be model-based (ex: ax400 thirium doesn't exist, it's just thirium.) However, Connor is able to determine what model an android was by the thirium traces left behind.

Finished playing a while ago and kara’s storyline is the best😭

I just finished playing DBR a few weeks ago and found this sub. Tell me why I keep seeing people say Kara’s storyline is the least interesting 😭

Arghhh, maybe it’s because I’m a sucker for people-taking care of kids media, but I used to run through Markus’ and Connor’s storylines just to get to Kara, and her parts usually had me so tense. The whole parental love and affection in a robot storyline is chef’s kiss to me.

I managed to keep them alive and get them past the border in my playthrough, and I hope they have a beautiful life together. It sucks that Alice won’t ever grow, so they’ll be stuck running around for a while (they’re so tragic😔). I’ve been reading fics to sustain me.

Headcannon/Theory: The anti-android protesters in the Shades of Color chapter were the delinquents that attacked Ralph.

This is going to be long…

I know those protesters weren’t the only people attacking androids in Detroit, but I think it’s such an interesting (and quite dark) way of connecting the characters: Protesters threaten to “teach Markus a lesson”, and Kara finds out what happens when they actually go with it…

- They shove Markus to the ground, surround him and threaten to beat him, all while insulting and yelling at him.

- Considering just how violent and aggressive the protesters were in that scene, it's safe to assume it's not their first time doing something like this. 

- If they are bold enough to do this in a crowded park in the middle of the day, in front of a police officer (the only reason they stopped), imagine what they’d do at night, with no one around, if they decided to beat up an android for fun… 

- In the wiki, it says the protest leader might have a criminal record (in the chapter Waiting for Hank, he can be seen in one of the cells at the police station).

- They were willing to attack a household android, and even then they would just be fined.

 - Ralph is a WR600, he was one of 5,000 owned by the city, it would be less problematic if one of them disappeared or ended up being damaged.

- There are several WR600s around the park where they were protesting (doesn’t mean Ralph worked in that park specifically though), and there was pretty much nothing stopping anyone from just walking up to one of them and attacking them.

- If you look at Ralph’s face, you can see that he wasn’t only burned with a knife, he also got beaten: part of his face is dented, plus the overall damage to his skin. If the delinquents just wanted to “have fun” or were “curious”, they would have just burned him until they got bored. Instead, Ralph got beaten with enough strength to dent reinforced plastic (only someone angry at androids would do this):

-1) It’s likely they used other weapons to attack him, such as baseball bats or any blunt force weapons (think back to the way they surrounded Markus, there’s no way only the protest leader would beat him while everyone else just watched).

-2) The worst damage is in Ralph’s face, which means he was beaten to the ground. Outdoor work androids seem to be reinforced/stronger + Ralph deviated out of fear (there’s no way he didn’t react at all to the attack), so it probably took a lot of people and time to damage him as badly as he is in-game.

(sorry for mistakes, English isn’t my first language)

That’s weird, I saw a quite interesting ending in my dream a few nights ago

I will tell you what I remember

Captain Allen captures Connor and sends him to the camp. There Connor sees Kara, Alice and Luther. He gets a choice whether to help them or not.

If he chooses to help them, he becomes a deviant and attacks the soldiers. Kara’s group runs to the fence. Kara gets a choice whether to leave Connor or help him.

If she chooses to help, she attacks the soldiers and if player wins most QTE for Kara and Connor they run together to the truck and leave.

I know it’s unfinished. But still it’s quite nice for a dream

What was this "copy memory" thing?

https://preview.redd.it/8r1nvwtd1dbh1.png?width=686&format=png&auto=webp&s=d9b177a0800312feb9e0b4203bce7d47eb0f93b6

>!When Connor fights Connor in Battle for Detroit, Connor manages to copy Connor's memory, which Connor realises after Connor successfully tells Hank how they met. And then Connor suggest Hank asks a question only the real Connor would know - but it doesn't make any sense??? Like if they now share the same memory, they would both know the name of his dog, his son and all that. And also why did only the real Connor answer correctly and the other just stayed silent instead of saying the same thing? Is there some kind of limit to what extent can androids copy each other's memory?!<

The Chinese have shown a new batch of their humanoid robots designed for natural interaction with humans. Xyser Robotics suggests using them as companions or... romantic partners. The company is working on more realism, skin warmth, and artificial intelligence.

Motel TV news variants

If Kara is in the motel in the "On the Run" chapter, she can watch the news. I know two versions exist: if Todd died there is a report about that, if he survived he claims Kara attacked him and will have a bandage on his head.

What I'm curious about is if there's a third version of the news? In the "Stormy Night" chapter, Todd ends up dead or injured in all but one successful escape route. If Kara finds Alice before Todd they can hide in another room and then go downstairs to escape through the front door—this is the only route that completely avoids any physical contact with Todd.

So, if this route is taken and you stay in the Motel, will Todd still claim on the news that Kara attacked him and have a bandage on his head? I presume so, but I'm curious if anyone knows for sure.

WHO the HELL had the idea to make an unskippable outro after the last chapter?

I know you can't answer this question, but it really annoys me to see the list of actors over and over again. At the moment I try to get 100% in all chapters. Especially the last chapter has so many possible paths and requires so much repetitions. To see the outro over and over is just a waste of time to me.

Question 🙋‍♀️ sûrement stupide mdr

Bonjour, je pense que c’est la première fois que je poste ici , désolée pour mon orthographe de merde et le fait que je sois français et complètement nul en anglais donc merci les traducteurs ;)

Juste ma Question 🙋
Comment on fait pour m’être Connor dans le menu principal du jeux , j’ai l’impression qu’il est possible de le faire que sur PC ? Ou on peu le faire sur la PS4 ? Ou faut finir le jeux complètement une fois ? Si vous pouvez me donner l’astuce si il en a une ?

Sa serrais tellement adorable 🥰
Merci encore à la communauté et au fans du jeux que je trouve pour ma pare incroyablement beau !

My first playthrough as a beginner gamer… I think I failed. 😞

I don’t have much gaming experience because I never had a console growing up. Most of my experience comes from Animal Crossing: New Horizons and casual mobile games, so Detroit: Become Human was a huge leap for me.

The action and fight sequences were especially difficult for me to handle, and I made quite a few mistakes (honestly, a lot of mistakes).

I accidentally got Connor killed twice. Twice! The first time was during the opening chapter on the rooftop when the deviant jumped, and Connor went after him to save the little girl. The second time was near the end of the game, when he was shot after getting off the elevator while trying to reach the CyberLife warehouse.

Then, in the final chapter, Markus was killed because I chose to trust the FBI agent instead of rejecting his offer to surrender and he shot Markus, that infuriated me. What a jerk! Anyways, I managed to save Kara and Alice, but I still can’t shake the feeling that I failed.

What ending did you guys get?

TL;DR: First-time gamer played Detroit: Become Human, accidentally got Connor killed twice, Markus got shot, saved Kara and Alice, and now I’m wondering if I got a bad ending. What ending did you get?

Do any of you watch Dechart Games?

I just got into watching them and Bryan is very sassy in a way I was not expecting lol. Still trying to decide how I feel about it.

Amelia is adorable!!! She’s always so positive, it’s admirable.

It seems like there has been a solid fanbase who’ve stuck by them for years which is pretty cool

u/kitty_mariii — 1 day ago

Yeah... no sorry. That's not a living thing. That's just a Terminator that even a military squad would struggle to take down 💀.

If they made 10 000 rk900, it's pretty much game over for the human race if they go deviant just like in the movie terminator.

u/Disastrous-Theory557 — 2 days ago

I have two things to say🤣

  1. Connor have every reason to take the shoot. Police officers have already opened fire for much less than that lol.

  2. This game is actually really forgiving with QTE. So I don’t get the idea of having an easy difficulty when the “experienced” difficulty is already very forgiving lol. It's almost impossible to lose a fight. You basically have to let go the controller completely, this is the only way.
