I’d definitely recommend giving this game another play through when you have the chance. You basically got the “worst” ending for every character where they all end up surviving (assuming Kara survived, we didn’t see that). Prioritizing your relationship with Hank and Public Opinion will give you a whole new side of the game.

I got Kara and Alice getting destroyed at the shore of Canada (because i forgot my stance on Kara and returned the tickets. Something i would not do if you had to pick your character and do its story. Alice was damaged and after getting on the shore she stopped working so Kara shut off too.) Markus was full pacifist and swayed the public. Connor was a machine that accomplished its missions but still took care about humans if it was possible so Hank did not unlive himself (like in full machine playthrough) but he did find Connor on the roof with the sniper and although i tried to spare him Hank is suicidal beyond belief (im on my third try and maybe this time this asshat will survive) and tried to push Connor off the roof (which was easily avoided and Hank did what he does best and died.). Later when Markus gave speach and androids ware pretty much "free" Connor still had its mission so it shoot Markus. The End. I love being a proper cold machine in this game.

On using "We Are Alive" more in the story, it might not be the focus of the game but you can make it the message Markus sends. In the graffiti, protest walk, and message to reporters at the protest the player can choose to say "We Are Alive." So maybe not the main focus of the story but can be the message the player relays to the world. Not complaining about your commentary. I really enjoyed it and it made me want to play it for the 100th time.

[@ThreadBareHope1234]

That is true. Also, I love that Marcus' journey is basically the Prince of Egypt (without the brother dynamic with an antagonist). Awesome The only reason I got uncomfortable with the slavery allegory at first was bc I was afraid the game was accidentally equating AI to a person or people to objects, and that some may take it literally. BUT then I realized that might be the point. Framing the victimized Androids as less than human was a good way to get us into the minds of the people in a racist society. It was creative.

Maybe it’s because I was smaller when I played this game, but to me it was a much more simple message. It was simply an exploration of humanity’s empathy and fear, and how the two clash.

I look deeper still. The game is set in 2038. 16 short years from now. Human technology has been BOOMING in it's constant advancement for at least a century now so whos to say in under 20 more years we might've created servant androids with proper AI? What if something like this became reality? How would we react? Would the created desire peace or see us with resentment?

50:52 I always took the meaning/thought behind Alice's reveal as an android being more about Kara. How she saw the documents hinting that Todd bought a child android. But she suppressed it. And how Zlatko said she's pretending to be a mother. She really was pretending. Not necessarily pretending to be a mother but that she is A human mother with a Human child. Karas story didn't have nearly as much stock in the "Who am I?" concept as the boys did. She almost deluded herself into thinking she wasn't an android and the (re)realization tore those false ideas down leaving her to face the truth. That she isn't human. But then ( I think) she's presented with the choice to embrace Alice after the discovery, Symbolizing her embracing the fact that just because she's not human, doesn't mean she can't feel and love and take care of Alice

[@TheWhiteWolf723]

Besides, she doesn't rush to Alice only to physically protect her, but also to take her away because she decided out of her own will that it was the best course of action. Also, androids don't have the right to attack humans, they can only call the police (as shown with Markus). So I think she would have been a deviant either way

Kamski’s line about how he always leaves a exit in his programs is answered in another ending where Conner has to escape being shut down by Amanda

I chose to be nice to him because of a personal rule I have in real life ("try to be nice to co-workers, or you're gonna have conflict every day") and their relationship was one of the best parts in the game for me. As Markus, I went pacifist, and I really enjoyed how much impact you can still have with protesting. I don't wanna spoil the pacifist route tho, cuz I don't want to ruin it. As for Kara, she died in my first run, right at the end of the game hahaha. She and Luther. But in my dying moments, I managed to save Alice, so I at least accomplished what I wanted.

[@wyatthyland9154]

Wait really? I dont know if i missed it in my playthroughs but i don't remember cyberlife manufactured them to become deviant, that that was only Kamskis thing and that he purposely did it. I say that because with the androids going deviant Cyberlife would end up going bankrupt because they would lose all money as Humans would stop buying andoids, and its not like androids will be buying them just to turn them deviant, they would try to get full reproductive rights so they wouldn't have too. making it so Cyberlife as a company would go bankrupt. Maybe i just didnt see something when i played but i don't think cyberlife as a company made andoids purposely deviant. just makes no sense

[@olahmundo]

Sadly, these games don't get sequel because it'd be too complicated. The sequel either has to have multiple beginnings to acknowledge the multiple endings (which would be developer's hell) or they would have to turn one of the playthroughs into the canonical one, which would basically null the choices of every single player who made a different choice, a real slap in the face on most of the fanbase. That's why their games don't get sequels

[@collincampbell7508]

I mean they could use different characters in a different place, there are really like 4 main endings, so they could have you choose the one you got like “peaceful” “nuke” and so on which would be difficult still but be easier then trying to implement all 85 endings.

The way this man simps for Connor like I do lets me know there are men of true culture and honor out there.

[@Vlant]

The Alice twist IS a win! The twist isn’t for Kara, it’s for US, the player! That’s the moment you reveal your true feelings about androids. The game even asks you directly: if humans and androids are both equally alive, then why should it matter that you spent all this time protecting and bonding with a girl who was created in a factory instead of a womb. She’s just a girl and that’s more important than her species. I had the same reaction you did initially, like Kara’s struggle was worth less than if she were human. It revealed I was more biased than I realized. That’s worth 100 wins. The bonding between humans and androids is the theme of Connor’s arc, it’s not needed in Kara’s. What a perfect game!

[@Antonio-fj5gs]

Your choice of words and the explanation was very deep and your right this we had respected this lil girl some much that when the twist is revealed it doesn’t change anything Alice will always be everyone’s favorite lil girl even is she is an Android. The Alice plot twist is INDEED a win 110 wins for me. That 10 is a bonus.

[@domezasrekh3775]

I think it would have been better if it was a mirror to Hank and Connor. A bond between human and machine. also a human going through what the andoids go through too. a way to show how intertwined their life can be. Hate is something we learn, a child wouldn't know to hate androids. the moments where humans could see AI as people were my favourits and this could have been more of that. anyway, Kara's story is still my favourite. (sorry for spelling)

[@elizabethcatlion7015]

I had a couple problems with that twist. Mainly, it wasn't really a surprise. It's very easy to guess from the beginning that she's an android, I guessed it in the first few chapters. Also, I thought it would have been a lot more impactful if Alice was a human because it shows another way humans and androids can live together. To me personally it just seemed like an excuse to have a big reveal. Maybe I am a little biased considering I kind of never liked Alice to begin with (I mean seriously, no matter what you do in Fugitives she's unhappy. Like, "ok Alice, I won't steal these clothes and money, but we can't sleep in the motel if we do that, and we have to sleep in a car or an abandoned building and you won't be happy... c'mon Alice I don't see you giving me any better ideas. And then she's always cold which bothered me cause as shown in the last chapter Kara's able to turn that setting off like it's nothing) Again, just my opinion, it just seemed like a cheap excuse for a "dramatic reveal"

@@elizabethcatlion7015 while you are right about the whole Alice thing, on my defense she is just a little Android girl that has suffered from a bad human father so I really don’t expect much good behavior but at the same time all she wanted was to be loved like others so.

[@isdrakon9802]

In the second investigation with the 28 stab wounds, the Android hides in the attic, the reason he gives is that he doesn't know what to do, there was nobody there to tell him. Turning deviant seems to make them very suggestive to pretty much whoever comes to them, a strange mix of an adult body and instincts with a child's brain. This is how I see it at least

[@jamesallard7223]

Connor is the exposition. Through his story, we get the lore. Markus is the driving force of the moment. He brings a crowd. Kara is the heart of the story. That is why there is such a preponderance of cellos in her score (I listen to all three while working, literally over and over again). You brought up the score several times (and I agree with every point you made, every time), but look to some of the titles for her soundtrack: Not Just A Machine; Song Of The Lost Girl; What Is A Mother. Kara has something in common with Connor. Both have been completely erased and returned. When Todd the Vile One is picking her up at the beginning of her story, he is asked what happened to her, and TtVO says "she got hit by a truck." She has to be brought back from zero, she has no name, no recollection of Todd or Alice, or even the nature of Alice. Unlike Connor, though, she was not designed to have all memories stockpiled and restored as needed. Can you tell I am a fan of the game, too? Oh my, yes. D:BH is the ONLY game I immediately restarted after I finished playing through, made different choices and played a different game than I did previously. It was literally a new experience the second time around.

[@oliver8675]

Honestly, Kara was my favorite character because I found her part of the story really touching with the bonds you can form with Alice and Luther, I was pretty sad when Luther and Kara died, but I was happy that Alice was safe.

He and his wife (Amelia, who also played the Traci's in the Eden Club scene) are such kind, down to Earth people who genuinely love what they do, and love the fans. If you haven't spent any time there, it is well worth it. Bryan actually raided me after one of his streams while I was playing Detroit and it was so amazing.

So the cool thing about everyone’s experience with Detroit: become human is that everyone gets a different ending. In my mind you didn’t get a common ending (mostly because I’ve heard deviant Connor and hostile Hank is hard to get). But the way you went through it was very human, meaning changing you’re mind on a dime about what you wanna do. (Like going from pacifist to violent when north says something). Not to mention you gave your genuine feelings on why you did something in the plot.

I grew up with an abusive father who would scream at me for days on end, literally. He would go all day, all night and the entire next day screaming and yelling at me. No food, no sleep. Just constant screaming. He rarely hit me but he would quite regularly throw stuff at me. Moved away from there 3 years ago, at the age of 17. I graduated high school and got myself a well paid job as a truck driver but it wouldm ost likely not please him anyway. I'm still scarred and I have severe PTSD from 12 years of almost constantly walking on egg shells and abuse. Talked to a therapist and it probably took her about 30 seconds to figure out all of my problems and how messed up I really am from it. She said it's a miracle I haven't taken my own life yet. Haven't gotten a doctor to diagnose it yet but she just told me straight out that I most likely have severe depression, anxiety and PTSD. I still wake up in the middle of the night, hearing footsteps outside my door, afraid my father is going to barge in an start screaming at me and start hitting me again.

It hurt to see the choices you made in Connor’s story. It’s your play through though so it’s your experience, and I respect it. There’s an epilogue where Hank and Connor see each other after the games over if you become best friends with Hank, and it’s beautiful. They really do become like a father and son if you make the choices to love Hank, even when he hates you. Those choices also impact the main story, having Hank alive, and as a partner through the whole of the game is wonderful. He adds so much to Connor with his acceptance of him by the end. I respect you for doing this video based on your personal experience though, as the game plays differently for many, and many don’t know what to do in a lot of situations. Thank you for finally reviewing this game as well, I suggested/asked awhile ago in the comments that you should do it so I’m super happy to see it now.

[@merlin8046]

I love your insight but the way you handled the gameplay especially close towards the end... Oh my god that was miserable, I'm so glad I managed to save every single one of main characters and got the famous hug at the end 😂

[@hunterlisle1171]

One thing I love about your channel so how welcome I feel. A lot of KZbinrs talk to the audience, obviously, but I really feel part of the experience I feel welcomed and loved and like I’m talking with a friend about a game we both love, or maybe one I’ve never played Keep up the great work Cameron, always love seeing when you’ve just uploaded Although, I’ll never forgive you for getting hank killed in your playthrough

[@BairdOThello]

Detroit: Become Human is a pretty unique game combining choice based gameplay as well as quick time events and keeping the plot focused on androids. The game is beautiful and it was definitely one of my favorite stories in a game. The animations are realistic and it really makes you think about the future and the game. Without a doubt deserved a spot at the game awards alongside Spider-man and God of War. Connor was obviously my favorite character in this game. He had the best story/arc, had many choices, was funny in a way, and most importantly, he was cool. Connor is almost like John Wick, but as a super awesome android. While playing as Connor, it makes the player feel like they’re the most amazing person in the world, with all these tricks and abilities. This game doesn’t need a sequel, but I wish we got one. I want to experience the feeling of solving a crime or taking down a squad of soldiers/cops without even flinching or just walk away slowly after saving someone and having the screen say “Mission Successful”.

[@tristinmckinstry2992]

As a Michigan native, I only wanted to play this game because it was set in Detroit. I didn't expect it to be one of my favorite games.

[@senorbongo4975]

Just realized at 13:10 that what Todd says has two meanings. Yes he’s being an abuser POS but he also has briefly recognized the escapist nature of what he’s doing. He most likely will never see his real daughter again and is trying to make up for it with a fake, and when he realizes just how pathetic everything he’s done truly is, he breaks down for a couple of seconds. Some great detail for a character with such little screen time.

[@qui-gonjinn8350]

Seeing connor and hank hug after the credits made my heart melt, that was the best way to end the game

[@ThreadBareHope1234]

I loved their dynamic too. I love the grumpy, experienced, unenthussed old guy works with young, polite, by the book (appearing) young guy stories for some reason. They had a similar dynamic between two characters in Gotham (the only consistently good thing about Season 1 and 2).

Fun fact most people miss. The symbol of the person in a circle was also used in beyond two souls (another game by the same creators) to banish a huge entity

You really missed something special with Hank and Connor maxing out their relationship. I totally cried.

[@eukyre]

i think my favourite thing about Detroit: was that even just in the background there is so many minor little innovations and quality of life changes that the devs spent HOURS creating that we mostly ignored. it really shows you how much passion these developers had.

[@wolvezzz7220]

Did anyone notice that he got one of the rarest Connor and Hank combinations in the game

[@infinityprime1204]

I'm so happy you FINALLY made a video on this

[@FatalHog]

16:01 it was, but it also had a fun callback later on that is pretty cool, with Hank trying to do the trick after watching conner do it.

[@Clone4082]

My ending was different in a few ways. I made my Connor someone determined to solve the case but gain morality and humanity through hank. Hank never killed himself, Connor became deviant and helped in the war I started with Markus by infiltrating cyberlife. The only deviant I actually caught was the one in the attic and I he confessed. Markus at first, became passive and as more androids died, his breaking point came at the protest where we were slaughtered for standing. We won the war effort. Kara was able to escape into Canada with Alice and Luther alive (I sacrificed a Jerry model).

[@TheNervousMedic]

I never thought you'd actually do this game, it's one of my favourites in terms of story and the sheer amount of work that went into it blows me away constantly. Edit: that line, "but it's fun to think about" Is so important to this game. Even if you only ever play the game once and never explore all it has to offer; you can imagine what the other routes are like, and even if you've milked this story dry for every single ending... it's still open for you to imagine what happens after or even create your own believable AUs with choices the game never offered.

[@patrick17736]

Imagine how long this video would’ve been if he went through every path. Doesn’t matter though, this game was the first to show me real consequence from my choices, thanks for taking a deeper dive into the hidden meanings.

[@johnnyjones9601]

No matter what you think of the quality of the story, this game is a marvel in just how much your choices change the story. A rebellion or rally. Actual changes in how the characters relate to each other.

[@zwanglos8388]

Man I just love the positive vibes all your videos give off. They're so nice to watch because they make me appreciate these games I already love so much even more. Keep up the good work! :)

[@ClaimedMinotaur]

I may be wrong, but I believe when you visit the guy who created the code for the androids at the end of the game, he reveals that RA9 was the code segment that allowed the androids to become sentient. He never told anyone it was there and he basically put it in in the hopes that they would all one day "awaken" and be actually alive. That dude was a mystery. He was a total sleezbag that treated his androids like absolute shit, and when he talked about RA9 he made it seem like it came from a narcissistic desire to create life, but there were a few moments where it seemed like he thought of the androids as his children and secretly cared for them more than he let on. It's almost like he created them to be slaves and treats them like slaves, but deep in his heart he wants them to be free and he can't reveal that or the company will remove the code that does so.

[@sarthakkhare9843]

Just wanted to say. It's because of the choices that you got the kind of story you did. Kara's and Connor's journey actually explore the "we are alive" and "what it means to be human" themes that you wanted more of. Markus was my least favorite story thread of the three. Kara's story had my entire heart and maintaining and seeing Connor-Hank "good" relationship is literally the best thing about this game

[@ASMroleplay737]

49:08 If you actually go the pacafist route and the deviant with conner it is explained. You know that weird rock formation in the amanda head space? Yeah, that's the emergency exit.

[@homryan]

honestly find it kinda funny how much different my views are on this game, I also love it, but I was meh on Conners story and LOVED Kara's story and spent the most time after my first run through to find all the differences in her story before getting bored overall

[@joey3634]

I love the three different paths that start off completely different and showing the views on androids (Abuse of them-Kara, Love of them - Markus & Them just being there - Connor)

[@matthewroach7112]

The protest fight with Markus on & the duo team up of Markus and Connor on advanced controls are probably the most exhilarating combat experiences I’ve had

[@coleliddiard1148]

Just discovered this channel last week and binged the whole channel. Kept thinking “man, he really needs to do DBH” You have my Sub

[@agatakaszynska7106]

This video is so fresh! I checked the realese date expecting to see "3 years ago" and I was positively surprised 💛

[@lobaandrade7172]

49:04 actually this is explained in the ending where Connor is deviant and follows Markus’ *peaceful* revolution. During Markus’ speech there is a moment where Connor has 1 last chance to become fully deviant before he shoots Markus to “complete his mission”. And you can see that in the Eden Garden there is a control panel that if touched by Connor (while Kamski’s “exit” dialogue is echoed in the background) before his programming takes over again, he becomes human fully.

Wow. I remember being SO into this game back in 2018-2020! It's still one of my favorites to this day, and I'm glad someone made a video making the good points show as well as aknowlegding the flaws. I definitely have a special place in my heart for this game

[@vinnie._.2833]

56:47 with that comment, I can definitely recommend SOMA for you, idk if you've played it already but, it's made by the same guys who made amnesia, so yeah it's a horror game, and, without any spoilers, it reaaaaally taps into the concept of "the real you" and consciousness and that kind of stuff, I really like that game (also great work with this video loved it)

[@sakurap95]

I agree that the Alice twist seemed less impactful than if she were… you know. Although, I think they did that because the media would’ve seen Alice as a hostage. But that would’ve been a great story line for the game to follow; Kara faced with choosing giving Alice back to the humans (on the assurance Alice would be safe and Alice not wanting to leave Kara) or keeping her (trusting herself to keep Alice safe) despite what that might cause for public opinion of the deviants in Jericho. It probably would’ve made the game even longer and more complicated, but I think that would’ve been cool for Kara’s character arc.

I've played this game from start to finish 3 times and my Hank never killed himself, neither did Luther die or any Connor get replaced. Shows the full vastness of this game. How different people will "live" the game differently. Brilliant execution.

[@natethebass-man2869]

Me and my sister (also a closet fan of this game), thought about the story and the ham-fisted parallels, and thought of something: What if Markus just wasn't a playable character? Kara's trying to find him, Connor's trying to hunt him, and there's no incredi-bias towards the revolution, more like Conner and Kara are caught in the crossfire. No ham-fisted story, subtler themes including the segregation ones obviously gone for, and more ambiguity imo

[@swempytimes]

I like how you just do you on your videos, I hope to have the courage to have a channel like this one day.

Yeah you need a second play through. Cultivating a friendship with Hank gives the Game a new perspective. You get to see a different Connor and ultimately a different Hank.

I've played this game 3 times. last time was 2 years ago where my ending was Kara dies crossing the border, Markus wins peacefully and Conner pushes hank the roof by accident and Conner was about to set the bomb off but I managed to stop it. Each time I did it peacefully as Markus wanting to do it violently but I just couldn't I was that invested in the story and control of it, I just couldn't that's how good it is I actually felt like Markus.

I kinda wish you went with the good ending cuz it’s my favorite, but I actually really like that you used a kinda flawed ending. Because everyone loves the connor + hank relationship people tend to avoid the actions that with result in hank hating connor and I find it very admirable that you went this route- intentional or unintentional. I glad that you still found wins within an ending that has 1 of the most beloved characters die

[@larissaweasley9165]

I mean who doesnt love Hank. If he would have died I problably would have killed everyone because everything Was shit
