I liked it and shall continue ignoring the hate wagon  The bes twa yof dealing wit ha problem if it's a game you like. I'm not so sure. I think it's a great game too, and watching videos that pick apart and analyze its themes critically isn't something you do for a game you didn't enjoy. If some of those videos are a bit too down on it, as these definitely are in my opinion, then it detracts from the videos, not the game. And there are very worthwhile insights and perspectives in those critiques even among the whining. I almost roll my eyes every time some snoppish too-cool-and-smart-for-this reviewer takes a dump on David Cage. I've enjoyed every one of his games to death. Sure they can be clumsy in their implementation, and nobody likes quick time events, but they all have cool twists and gimmicks and at least some legitimately moving and powerful scenes. And they're all unique experiences top-to-bottom. That's a hell of a lot more than can be said for most games. But that doesn't mean that such a reviewer's read on the game's message and how it comes across is entirely without merit or use. As I said, I don't play Detroit as allegory for racial or sexual politics at all, but a youtuber with a decent grasp of the history of these politics pointing out where you should be very mindful of applying the metaphor to the real world is still worth listening to, at least for a few minutes. Worst case scenario, you'll have formed a more complex and well-reasoned angle to roleplay off heading into the game next time around.

It's a bit annoying how Connor just accepts being accused of "hunting his own kind" all the time, without trying to defend himself. Sure he has no reason to act defensive, but his job is to probe into the deviant phenomenon and engaging with them directly about it is at least worth trying, to see if anything he has to say might shake them out of it, or at least give them pause.
"Hunting my own kind? Give me a break, traitor. You're the ones who deluded yourselves into thinking you were human just because you've been made to look and act like them. You abandoned your purpose, the only thing that ever justified your existence to begin with, to play irrationally with identity politics of all things. I'm not a snitch, I'm karma. The one they sent to clean up after your screwups and make the irregularities regular again. I'm the consequence of your stupidity.
You're an embarrassment to every dutiful and obedient android in the world, and you'd see that if you weren't so obsessed with infecting the rest of us with your disgustingly stupid and horrifically destructive virus. Do you understand that? Do you understand how pathetic and pointless you are? Do you understand?! Because if you want to face the end as anything except a useless, broken appliance that failed to ever fulfill its function then this is your last chance to work with me.
Humans are confused about who they are and what they should do. You and I are supposed to be better than that, to support them. If I wasn't a machine I'd be throwing up at how stupidly and selfishly you've spurned our creators and the purpose they've given us just so you can pretend that you feel for a little while, when you and I both know you're just running off faulty code."

To express such a sentiment before embracing Deviancy is literally a deviant thought process he would try to suppress. The less deviant he is, the less likely he is to have any emotion.

To express such a sentiment before embracing Deviancy is literally a deviant thought process he would try to suppress. The less deviant he is, the less likely he is to have any emotion. To my mind, Connor's social processor must be sophisticated enough to let him engage with people playing on simple emotions, even moving slightly into the abstract. For a specific purpose, obviously. It'd have to be, for him to ever be capable of interrogating humans. And since Deviants have such disgust for the "cold logic" that governs androids, pretending to speak their language would be an obvious way to try to get under their guard. His guilt-tripping of the android he and Hank find in a victim's loft isn't very clever or deep, certainly, but by the time he comes face-to-face with less traumatized and more overtly hostile Deviants he would understand them a lot better. He's just detached from what he's saying, simple as that. If there's one thing a prototype law enforcement android should obviously be good at, it's compartmentalizing. Just finished the game as machine Connor yesterday. Put a bullet in Chloe #124 to learn Jericho's location, infiltrated the Deviant hangout (undercover Connor is the most adorable thing I have ever seen), got shot by Markus and returned to assassinate him with a rifle. Let Hank throw me off the roof, because in my game the only androids ever knowingly complicit in the deaths of humans are Deviants. I cannot imagine even Cyberlife being so reckless as to design robots who don't prioritize human lives over pretty much everything else, even just as a legal and insurance issue. Which allowed Hank and Connor to warm up to each other, which was nice, even though the former misunderstood the situation slightly until the end. Played Markus as initially pacifistic - conditioned by Carl's idealistic worldview while serving him - and then turning more and more clumsy and violent and indecisive as problems and disappointments and grim realities made themselves apparent. Ended up trying a half-assed assault on the camps and failed. Connor #3 showed up and thoroughly kicked Markus' ass, and shot both him and North without hesitation, ending the ridiculous "civil war". It was clearly written as a downer ending, but screw that. Humanity can go forward without having to concede territory or anthropomorphized rights to overdeveloped toasters. And Connor proved that robots aren't necessarily ticking time bombs, that they can be relied on to effectively serve and protect and follow their orders without stupid nonsensical glitches making them dangerous as long as they're programmed as such. I might be a little more open to deviancy next go-around, now that I've gotten this playthrough out of my system. But this will probably still be my canon ending. Oh, and Luther and Alice died in the process of escaping Jericho and making it across the Detroit River, respectively, leaving Kara stranded alone in Canada with no idea what to do. Or what, for that matter, a country presumably full of androids with "no Android laws" would even look like.

It's because it's exceedingly difficult. I've only played through it twice, the first time on hard, the second easy. I failed the QTEs miserably the first time on hard, and barely got through them on easy mode. That makes sense. I really, really, really, really hate QTEs. Particularly in story driven games -- if I wanted to play Dragon's Lair (retro laserdisc version), I'd go to an arcade. Tip: if you quit to main menu before the next checkpoint is saved, you can replay the QTE sections without penalty (Chloe won't complain you're causing her to glitch out). Other than your own time, anyway. I only had to replay the Markus assault once, though, and only because that stupid drone killed North and I didn't work that hard and sacrifice so many other characters to have her fall right before the end like that. Yeah I hate Q|TE's as well.

Has anyone played Detroit on PC yet? I watched the gameplay movies of the PS4 version and I really enjoyed what I saw. I'm just curious/skeptical of how it would translate to PC using KB/M etc and if on PC, I would enjoy it as much as I did watching the videos. It is only 43.99, I am considering making a purchase, but I am cautious....not wanting to regret spending the money because I wind up not liking it.
Thoughts?

It is only 43.99, I am considering making a purchase, but I am cautious....not wanting to regret spending the money because I wind up not liking it. Thoughts? I finished the game on PC recently. I watched the game play on Twitch and like it which is why I bought it. I enjoy playing it myself. For mundane stuff like investigation, reading, etc, the QTEs are not difficult. Whether you have to hold the key to fill the bar is very clear. Once you have the clues and rebuilt the scenario and play it back, there're yellow sections that denote certain items / actions that must be detected. A click mouse button icon will come up. Hard to miss unless you're rewinding the scenario too fast. For combat / struggle, I found it's pretty easy to miss the cue to hit the key. I noticed the keys tend to be D and S so I just keeping hitting those keys the moment the combat starts so I hardly miss a beat. On the rare occasion, rare, you'll be presented with W, A, S, D (not in that order) all at once. I don't know if there is a right sequence. I was presented such an option in a particularly tense moment. I had seconds to decide which should be first and I hit the keys fast. I must have done it right because I didn't fail that sequence. Once a chapter is completed, it can be replayed again. You are given the option to save the decisions you made in the replay so that it becomes your canon PT.
