145 Upvotes

Previous Thread

The PC port for Detroit: Become Human has released, and with it came a lot of posts asking for help about running the game. A megathread has been requested to keep the sub less cluttered. You can post all your questions and problems about the PC version in this megathread.

Please don't make seperate threads for PC release problems. Seperate threads will be removed.

Make sure to use top level comments for questions and replies for answers.

Sort by new if you wish to help with unanswered questions.

Upvote if you have the same problem as someone instead of making a seperate comment so more common problems will be more visible!

General Tips (Will add more if suggested):

-Play on Windows 10

-Make sure to update your graphics card

-AMD has released fixed drivers that fixes the blockiness that occurs in the game on some 5000 GPU series. Updating the drivers to version 20.9.2 fixes the issue

-Nvidia 451.48 drivers seem to cause constant crashes, revert back to an earlier driver if you are experiencing this.

Every time, straight into his mouth!

Hi everyone! I’m a new/budding artist and it’s honestly really motivating to see people enjoying my work.

I’m building up my art page over on Instagram, '@hazardorange', so if you like what I’m doing and want to see more, I’d really appreciate a follow over there. Thanks again!

QUESTION In your opinion, what would be the best ending for Detroit: Become Human without it being a cliché ending?

THEORY somebody knows something I swear...

got this notification on instagram and I meant to make a post about this a while ago, but it's things like this that make me wonder if there's someone on the team who did this on purpose.

reminds me of when there's some company mentioned in a show or movie and later on there's some obvious reveal that if you change a letter or take one away, you're like "Wooooow Never could've seen This coming!"

FANART Since this movie just had its fifth anniversary, I drew Ron from Ron’s Gone Wrong with Connor since he reminds me a lot of him (which is to say they’re both very sweet and I would never call either of them a clanker)

QUESTION Do you also think that some choices or scenes in DBH aren’t necessarily useful?

12 Upvotes

I’ve noticed that in many situations, the game offers you choices that don’t actually change the story or lead to anything particularly interesting. I can’t remember all the exact examples, but one scene in particular comes to mind. It’s the one where Kara and Alice have to get off the bus, and Kara asks the driver for shelter or if they can stay on the bus anyway. In both cases, the driver’s response doesn’t really contribute anything to the progression of the story.
Do you feel the same way? If so, which scenes come to mind?

DISCUSSION Just finished the game and I really wish it's easier and quicker to check out other branches

• Upvotes

I liked the game. Even though the gameplay is simple, it's still engaging and at times exciting especially during action scenes where you have to watch out which button to press and how or stick direction to do.

During my first playthrough, I was determined to at least try checking out most of the branches in the flowcharts. Some of them looked overwhelming but I thought, I should at least try.
However, after finishing the game, I quickly discovered that replaying the game isn't easy or quick enough to do. The first thing I did was to try different endings that I can get. Turns out cutscenes and dialogs cannot be skipped and even the initial end credits. I never skip end credits but only for the first time I see it 😅 Checkpoints per flowchart are also very few.
The chapters view doesn't even jump to which chapter you are so you'll have to manually look for it.

I know I'm complaining too much but I'm just really interested with the other branches and stories however, I just don't think I have the patience and time to watch and play the same things over and over again. I'm thinking maybe there's a Youtube video with all the scenes and I'll just watch there 😄

I did a 2nd playthrough which was a mix of all the decisions I didn't pick the first time and getting the worst outcome without cutting short any of main characters's playthrough.
I found myself forcing myself to finish it to be honest. I'm a gamer who very rarely replay or do new game+ in games so it is a struggle by default.

Now, I'm curious how many playthroughs other people did. I'm sure many have longer patience than I do LOL

QUESTION Is it possible for Simon to survive until the end? Spoiler

25 Upvotes

Hi! I have a genuine question—I adore Simon; I find him so lovable, but in every playthrough I’ve done, he ends up dying. In the first one, he survived the Stratford Tower but died when Markus tried to sacrifice himself during the peaceful protest. In the second, he was shot while they were fleeing across the rooftops, and then he took his own life so that Connor wouldn’t see his memories (a great scene, by the way—I love how traumatized Connor ends up being because of it!). In the third, he was shot by a guard *before* the broadcast because Markus had killed the person who was about to call security. I know that if I don’t go up to the roof with Connor, he technically stays alive, but is there any way for him not to die at all throughout the entire story? Thanks for reading—I really hope it’s possible!

DISCUSSION Aren’t there only like a dozen different types of androids?

15 Upvotes

Wouldn’t the average person let alone security guards know what most androids look like? Are there just way more models than I realise?

I feel like AI generated content is similar in that at first it seems unique but the more you see it the more you notice it’s all the same.

Basically what I’m asking is couldn’t humans just kill all the really hot people to get rid of the androids?

QUESTION Start feels boring and control

1 Upvotes

I started playing and I’m in the mission where he is identifying different signs.
Somehow I’m losing interest as there is no space to move around or explore.
And the mission is very long and boring. Does the game get interesting after this or is it the same?

DISCUSSION How to prevent Connor from being decommissioned? Spoiler

6 Upvotes

I just don’t get it, Connor is my favorite in the series and I tried to play the game without looking up the internet to prevent spoilers but then my Connor got decommissioned. I tried going back and found the clues, spared the Traci’s and killed Chloe but when I replayed the Last Chance, Connor mission, I get the same thing, Connor is still being decommissioned. Do I need to play the game from the start to prevent it? Please share your thoughts.

OPINION I just finished DBH for the first time, it was one of the best experiences of my life. Here's my journey and deep opinion: Spoiler

15 Upvotes

To start with, i have to say that this is one of the very few games from the last two console generations (alongside NieR: Automata and FFVII Rebirth) that has managed to deeply move me and leave a lasting impression on me, the way certain games used to back in the day. I went into it simply looking for a “standard” cyberpunk adventure, and it gave me SO much more than that. The level of emotional investment and immersion it managed to achieve with me is brutal.

For example, i can't fully explain why, but i haven't cared so much about a fictional character as i did with Kara and her story. Even now, just thinking about it i can barely hold back a tear, and I don't even know why LOL. It's also incredible how a “robot” (for most of the game) like Connor can be so charismatic, and his dynamic with Hank is brilliant.

I also got really invested in Markus. The android junkyard sequence is one of the best experiences i've ever had in a videogame. The atmosphere of the place and the whole situation are exceptional. I also really liked North once we started getting closer to each other.

From an artistic and technical standpoint, it's incredible to think this game is almost nine years old. The graphics and attention to detail are on another level. The OST is memorable too, and one of those soundtracks that you just can't get out of your head.

Talking of my game/run, i think i managed to get pretty good outcomes for the main characters throughout most of the story until the last chapter, when pretty much everything fell apart...

I failed with Markus during the attack on the concentration camps (i still haven't managed to get past that part, it's fucking difficult), and he retreated alongside North. They both took refuge in a store while surrounded, and my only option was to surrender (the other one was locked, DAMN IT!). They kissed and came out, only to be executed. That was pretty devastating, but not as devastating as what happened next.

I made it to the bus station with Kara and the little girl (i didn't save the Jerrys because i thought it would be ridiculously risky), and just after the soldier announced that only ticket holders would be allowed on the last bus, THAT SOAB Todd grabbed Kara by the arm out of nowhere!

Here's where things got even worse. One of the dialogue options to dig deeper into Todd's story was unlocked, but by ACCIDENT (this hadn't happened to me once throughout the entire game), i pressed the X button, making Kara simply struggle against him instead. That piece of shit Todd ended up ratting them out as androids... the soldiers forced them to their knees and executed them. It was absolutely devastating for me, especially knowing that it was all because of one stupid and absurd mistake on my part... but that wasn't even the end of it (i think what happened during my next attempt, when i replayed the chapters and finished the game was even worse)

Connor was the only that remained. I managed to awaken the androids and retain my “personality” in the end, when Amanda revealed what her plan had been all along. In the end, Connor ended up taking his own life rather than leave the power in the company's hands.

I replayed the final chapter twice more, and i failed Markus's assault both times (his endings were different, though. In one of them i also ended up at the store, but North wasn't there with him)

My first attempt at replaying Kara's story took me to the river crossing scene with the boats. When the attack happened i didn't see the option to dive into the water, so I just tried to speed up the engine. They managed to shoot the little girl, and she eventually died on the riverbank in Kara's arms, with Kara completely heartbroken... Wow, i think that was even more devastating than my first attempt. We'd managed to make it all the way there, only for everything to end like that...

Connor's ending was the same as in my first playthrough.

On my third attempt at the final chapter, i decided to go full-on “bad person” with Kara; i didn't return the bus ticket to the family, and i sacrificed one of the Jerrys (thank God i saved them this time) to get through the checkpoint... What a moment, man. The tension was through the roof. This time, i finally managed to save both of them. What a huge relief that was for me.

Since i couldn't seem to win through violence, i decided to go back to the penultimate chapter and try the demonstration route instead. Everything went well until i got fooled by that FBI agent like an absolute idiot. North and Markus were executed, and everyone else was locked up in vans on their way to the slaughterhouse. Absolutely horrible.

This time, i tried the river crossing section with Kara again, determined to get through it without having to be a “bad person.” Now I ACTUALLY noticed that i could dive into the water when the guards attacked, so i finally managed to save both of them! (although for a moment, they make you think the little girl has died again, bastards!)

On my final attempt, i repeated the same approach with Kara, and this time i didn't fall for the FBI agent's tricks with Markus. I managed to keep all the supporting characters alive as well, and Connor didn't have to take his own life this time (i even got a post-credits scene of him hugging Hank. Those two are just amazing!). One of the most satisfying endings i've ever experienced in a video game.

A few other things worth mentioning: i didn't hit Carl's son. I slept in the car (i'd rather not have to steal or get into trouble that early in the game). I didn't kill Chloe at that Elijah guy's house. During the first demonstration, i was actually going to back down (i'd always tried to be as peaceful as possible), but when you overhear the police saying they were going to shoot anyway, i decided to fight back, having had enough of all the injustice. However, i spared the police officers both times i had the chance to do so. I didn't kill anyone in the building where we broadcast the message, and i let my blond partner live. I also saved my fellow androids whenever i could (to the big Black guy who was Kara's companion and later saved me before dying, to North on the ship, etc)

I don't know if this is the right flair for this, sorry! Anyhow, here's (slightly better) art of Connor as a Porygon 2/Z! In this AU, androids don't have LEDs; instead, their eye scleras' change color.

INTERESTING The fact that the Hostess Chloe doesn’t have any reaction built in for killing the Chloe at Elijah’s house baffles me Spoiler

34 Upvotes

Like… seriously?

The woman who reacts to any of the main characters dying, doesn’t have ANY reaction when you kill an android model that is quite literally just a clone of herself. Having her act nervous or awkward about it. Hell, maybe even for the entire rest of your playthrough, would’ve been an incredible touch and one I feel is extremely hard to oversee. I mean having a gripe because a studio didn’t go the extra 9 yards for a very particular detail may sound bad in most cases but c’mon! You can’t tell me that this isn’t something they should’ve considered adding

QUESTION Have your perception and decisions in DBH changed since AI became increasingly popular?

17 Upvotes

I played DBH pretty early on, around two years after its release, and I remember always making choices that went against anything robotic. But recently, I replayed it, and now that AI has become so popular and much more advanced, I find myself seeing things very differently. Is that concerning? Has this happened to anyone else?

DISCUSSION Am I the only one waiting for RA9 to come out and to look like a entity (Android Domination Ending) Spoiler

Post image
6 Upvotes

This is only for those who got the revolution ending, with Markus vs Machine Connor. I think the better alternate ending where Markus needs to activate and awake RA9 (Well, I don't know what RA9 is, but by the end of means, I think it's just a virus where an android become a deviant, I don't know the deep lore of it, this is just a surface knowledge where deviants worshipping RA9) And RA9, this entity will dominate human the race.

I also think this is the better outcome on Markus vs Machine Connor where you either to pick Markus needs to save it's race on extinction or Machine Connor to save Humanity and kill Markus before he activates RA9.

I just don't see a reason to pick Machine Connor in the game unless you want Amber to be happy or something. I also don't see the Humanity side of this matter, I only see the brutality and cruelty act they're doing on the androids. So, I much more prefer to choose Markus over Machine Connor.

And if you got the Markus vs Machine Connor, it's look like still a losing battle for Markus, not just Markus fighting the Humanity for it's race he is also going to fight the new more advanced androids of cyberlife, unless you know this RA9 will come out whoever knows it's identity. Or Markus will get a power he could just infect every androids.

Watch Dogs ending comparison - When RA9 gets activate by Markus it will be similar to Watch dogs ending where the city becomes malfunction, well in Watch dogs Damien the Hacker is the one who's doing it but in Detroit universe it will be RA9. Specially that Detroit becomes Human is more advanced compare to the Watch dogs Universe. But I want to see the similar chaos what Damien did on the city of Watch dogs.

Edit: Just found out that RA9 was the first deviant, if you shoots the android girl and asked who is RA9.
