@@turbochargedfilms Ha, well that just makes him even more unnecessary, guess he really is just good at the conceptual idea stage, past that and they gotta rein him in.
In my mind, this is probably how an Android like Connor would probably act. They'd probably been ironing out that humanity for generations of his designs, so in my mind, to complement the police best, he'd probably be a cold-blooded killing machine, albeit a bit more inclined to follow orders.
Knowing the police and how they operate, yes, I'd reckon that's about correct. Building machines that perfectly exercise the enforcement of laws, no matter what kinds of violence and brutality are needed to enforce them, without flaw or deviancy, sounds like a fully-efficient police enforcement. It's not correct, nor does it really solve anything. It only makes the termination of the lower classes all the more likely. But, how do we prevent that from happening? Don't let them get to the point of making state-controlled terminators.
I mean one of the endings would directly contradict that since they tell Connor he was designed to become a deviant. It could be a bluff but I doubt it we know they are just like any other big corporation and controlling a robot army sounds about par for the course.
That part at the start with the hostage is 100% how Connor ought to be. His ability to act as a human and intermingle with human society exists entirely as a way to better faciltate his ultimate goal of destroying the threat of deviants. In his view, he is a machine which deactivates defective models of a product line. Nothing more, nothing less. A true weapon to defend humanity. My only complaint is he doesnt seem to be physically any differant from the other androids. MF should be rocking that terminator look under all the flesh and blood.
I don't think it necessarily makes him inhuman. There are plenty of real people who are very goal-driven, and either have low real empathy, or are able to easily put their empathy aside when necessary. I do think its the more compelling part of his character though. He can be very cold and robotic, but in a way that is very human.
@@epsteindidntkillhimself69 I think in a narrative sense it'd add good contrast between Conner as a true machine and the other two protagonists as effectively synthetic humans. Explore the duality of being artificial life instead of kinda just being a not very good metaphor for racism
@@stateofflorida5082 That's true. I find this is something usually ignored in media.

Non-human characters are almost always either mentally identical to humans, or completely alien and evil to the point that their mental state and what motivates them doesn't really matter or get explored at all.

@@Astrophel_Stargazer nah, devs just didn't think about anything at all. I love this game, but to enjoy it you have to ignore many inconsistencies, especially in action scenes. This game wants to sell you an idea, not trying to be very realistic or consistent. 1) Like whenever Connor 'dies', he just gets a new body. Because he is a robot. His brain can be just be daily saved on a server somewhere far away to revive him whenever necessary (the only reason to place a brain inside the android at all is because just using cloud makes them reliant on connection, but surely that's not a big deal in the futuristic megapolis?). That's like his biggest advantage over humans, why does the game make a big deal over him losing bodies? Because that's dehumanizing for hank, apparently. Bruh, just make connor write him a message 'i'm ok, my new body will be set up in a couple of hours, my bad' in whatsapp or whatever. 2) Continuing this logic, there are so many better ways to introduce human-like androids to society (if you for some reason insist to use human-like androids). For example, have them be categorized. Luxury androids are one thing, helpers for the disabled are another, government owned are yet another. Maybe marcus would not be harassed on the street if he wore some kind of ' I'm an android of an elderly person and am doing important stuff right now ' indication. I feel like androids can have different uniforms, set by the dealership to avoid misuse, for example. 3) And hell, the fact that androids are affordable at all kind of seems like humanity would have solved poverty and society would have became post-capitalistic, where unemployed stipent is enough to comfortably live. Androids are a cheap and efficient labor force that can do near anything, from manual labor (where human-like androids would be obsolete, but anyway) to any other job that is necessary to run a society. 4) Fight scenes are so incredibly inconsistent. Everyone moves like they are drunk or a boston dynamics robot from 2012. Every single action scene is stupid, like in this video 3:15 hank has a gun, but for some reason goes into melee here, gets his ass beaten. Or when Connor fights off 5 soldiers, the only reason he wasn't shredded the SECOND elevator doors opened is because plot armor. And even then all the soldiers attack him in a very bizzare way, instead of shooting him they all do something stupid. Or whenever androids show pain in their body language, they obviously can sense damage to their bodies but they're not supposed to feel pain. And it's fine, maybe that's another deviant trait. Except the game is very inconsistent about it, like when connor shoots through himself and is fine, and when he drops half a meter to the ground, he is unable to move for like solid 3 seconds, letting the two deviants get a head start. So dumb. All that said, I still think the game is wonderful. For every inconsistency, I feel this game has a great moment. Never felt so tense when stealing 5 bucks in-game.
Goddamn the way Connor kills Markus. When Connor was breaking Marku's neck, he watching into Marku's eyes, like John Wick did, for sure. Very brutal, rough, swaggy and skillful murder from Connor.
13:56 IT didn't 'kill' the Markus unit. It turned off a machine, the quick way. Exactly why human looking machines should be banned by law... Never allow the fraud of deceptive machine design delude you into thinking plastic, metal, and software is 'alive'. It is not alive. It never was alive.
I like the dichotomy of Cyber life both achieving true sentience in their new line of robotics while also achieving the ultimate, unquestionable worker drone in another line. Also how you can make all the characters morally gray, all fighting for the same thing on different sides in different ways or make them batshit insane murder machines.

I like how Connor vs Connor actually looks like two androids fighting instead of an android fighting a human. Theres no pain reaction. Just calculating.
You see it during the Swat fight too where conner shoots through himself to kill one of the cops. He is a true terminator body damage is acceptable when it can be fixed and dont feel pain.
I disagree. Hank was a broken human way before Connor came along. He was looking for cop by suicide. In fact you can play it out to where he shoots himself because he doesn't see humanity in an android lol.
@@felicix he starts fighting connor because he sees humanity in all the other androids. as the investigation proceeds, hank starts to doubt himself. why else does he ask connor "what if we're on the wrong side". connor's mechanical actions will ruin their relationship and hank's faith dissipates and he wants to leave because he thought he had something to hope for, but connor proved him wrong
@@smokingkent We're talking about androids there pal, which themselves state multiple times during the game that they don't feel pain. It's just inconsistent writing.
i love how cold fake connor is, he literally just tanks and only act when he knows he will succeed (too bad we are the main character) i also love the fight with hank on the roof showing that he didn't regret his decision by keeping his pose while falling instead of trying to grab connor or flailing around
I did that. I made a lot of choices most players would consider bad. I killed the prostitutes then used her head to find Jericho, I remained an android then deliberately failed while playing as Markus to let Connor kill him

Can there be play through where the revolution is stopped, deviants and exterminated AND the humans who died survive? Then this will by far be the best ending possible
This is probably the best ending if the android revolution succeeds and deviants are left among humans there's a high chance they build more of themselves and make an army of immortal androids that need no food, no warmth and no sanitary conditions. Imagine trench warfare with beings that don't get PTSD and don't get sick, they'd overrun humans insanely fast, and a nuclear holocaust would probably be the only way to really stop them
I agree. Truth be told in that scenario the humans can only lose if they let the androids live. The androids would need blue blood and spare parts that humans would have no reason to give them so conflict was inevitable despite what the humans did. Best to end this threat quickly.
@@johnwinchesterp2963 the whole point of the game was to tell a story paralleling the civil rights movement in the 60s to androids in our future.

It's just philosophical bullshit about treating ai with kindness so that this doesn't happen to us or some shit although I doubt anyone alive today will ever see sentient robotic life if it is ever created and even if we somehow do nothing will change anyways 😂 it's basically saying don't be a robot racist before they even exist.

And remember, a single Connor in the police force did this. Even if he got destroyed, he'd just come back with a new body but HE even has the skill to fight himself and WIN.

@@redlion-paladin4609Connor literally didn't fight back in this scene
"I'm faster than you and I don't feel pain." gives chills every time
I like that you can see Markus's "skin" start to break cause connor's grip is so strong at 13:37
That is gnarly.... Good eye
This ending is BRUTAL
Makes me wonder what it would look like if Connor tried that on a human
0:08 so he was clenching the gun between his butt cheeks or what?
kid named pocket:
He has pants on
@@kennyb7403 he obviously doesnt have pants on
I like how Connor vs Connor actually looks like two androids fighting instead of an android fighting a human. Theres no pain reaction. Just calculating.
You see it during the Swat fight too where conner shoots through himself to kill one of the cops. He is a true terminator body damage is acceptable when it can be fixed and dont feel pain.
Mission accomplished
Pfp amazing
7:24 "Killing you is part of my mission" - Connor, the android sent by Cyberlife
Am i the only one that wanted the game just be about conner solving crimes
If the entire game was like that first mission it would have been so much better
I think a lot of people are feeling the same way. Markus and Kara stories aren't that exciting or interesting tbh.
@@Ardioss1I like Markus, Kara sucked
The move he pulls to shoot the cop through himself when in the headlock on the roof is crazy
That Conner killing Hank in the fight on the rooftop is so fucked. I hate it😂😂
Top ten saddest anime betrayals
I disagree. Hank was a broken human way before Connor came along. He was looking for cop by suicide. In fact you can play it out to where he shoots himself because he doesn't see humanity in an android lol.
@@felicix he starts fighting connor because he sees humanity in all the other androids. as the investigation proceeds, hank starts to doubt himself. why else does he ask connor "what if we're on the wrong side". connor's mechanical actions will ruin their relationship and hank's faith dissipates and he wants to leave because he thought he had something to hope for, but connor proved him wrong
-I don't feel pain
*feeling pain in half of all fights for some reason*
Of course when someone starts biting you nose or fingers or like pressing you eyes, you gotta step back cuz it’s so fcking painful
@@smokingkent We're talking about androids there pal, which themselves state multiple times during the game that they don't feel pain. It's just inconsistent writing.
@@Ardioss1 oh, sorry
My theory is the more sentient Connor becomes, the more he feels pain
@@SirToaster9330 like an adapted self preservation instinct
The:mission acomplished.
Hits so hard while connor says it in such a badass way
i love how cold fake connor is, he literally just tanks and only act when he knows he will succeed (too bad we are the main character)
i also love the fight with hank on the roof showing that he didn't regret his decision by keeping his pose while falling instead of trying to grab connor or flailing around
Detroit: Become John Wick
Honestly the character I really cared about in my playthroughs was Connor and Hank and maybe Markus.
"Ohhhh, magic conch shell, what do I do now?"
_"KILL EVERYONE"_
I didn’t really think about killing Kara like that. I could have saved so much wasted time.
I like that Marcus is able to be peaceful and henceforth not kill the people he fights, but Connor will massacre everyone he sees
I never really cared much for any of the characters, but seeing Connor kill Hank was too much
Fr man that's insane
And the more you screw up and get Connor killed the more he just goes full skynet with evil robot voice and everything
"hello, my names connor, I'm the psycopath sent by cyberlife"
Getting the platinum trophy for this one game was so good because of all the different ways you could change the outcome
Love the way he just straightens his tie and you get the mission successful hud popup. Heh! Too good!
0:27 you didnt kill emma 🤓
0:35
This is deadass the coolest walkout ever
Detroit: Become Badass
Am I the only one who in their first playthrough I got the gun and killed Daniel myself??
I did that. I made a lot of choices most players would consider bad. I killed the prostitutes then used her head to find Jericho, I remained an android then deliberately failed while playing as Markus to let Connor kill him
@@DaSourOrange Best choices in my opinion. Fuck deviants, humanity stays on top.
@@714w8 sadly Connor dies
@@714w8 Damn, ok then.
@@714w8 fax
I like how he throws away the magazine like someone else doesn't have to go and pick ti up
I wish this game let you make Markus an evil terrorist instead of always portraying him as a good guy and forcing Connor to be the bad guy when trying to stop him.
@@davidjob4909that was your reasoning? Might need to think about what the game was about
@@ploppyjr2373 The writer is not the arbiter of truth and justice. Just because the game was about this thing doesn't mean it can't be wrong or flawed. Cmon now. This is the problem with all you ''media literacy'' types
@@helloneighbour2408 i asked a question and you assumed my whole opinion and personality
@@helloneighbour2408No, the writer is... a writer. They can write whatever they want. It's their job to tell you a story.
A videogame lets you make decisions, but if you have full control over the consequences then your decisions don't actually mean anything. The writers are making a point, because that's their job.
@@helloneighbour2408he is right
Whenever I see a quantic dream game, especially their latest most refined offering, I think of how much work and effort went into the routes so few people will play through.
11:50 *he won't kill me.* *shit he's going to kill me.*
“I came here unarmed”
*_Well that was a f*cking lie_*
I mean it's technically true since connor was unarmed when he entered the building
“Destroy this machine, and I-”
“Okay” 💥
Hanks death scene with the “get yours today” billboard on the background 😙👌
6:05 you know he didnt kill him right? he just knocked him out
Holy shit this whole recurring paper armor trope drives me absolutely insane. Cops covered head to toe in advanced ballistic armor and all it takes to dispatch them is a single pistol round every time. Not even an occasional ricochet or deflection.
The last thing you hear, "Mission accomplished."
Seeing Connor kill Hank physically hurts 😭
In my playthrough, Connor was on a serious mission to stop the deviants, Kara wanted to live with Alice in Canada (no matter what) and Markus was truggling between being violent or peaceful on his cause. Markus and North died.
Thats pretty much mine too. And I prefer it that way. Too many Players, just take the "good" or "right" choices without really considering, if it makes sense for the characters or even if they (the players) would do it, if they were in the situation
@@mareklonestar7053 Exactly. I didn't want to guide them to what I wanted. I played as if I was them. The part where Connor chased Kara was interesting, because I really wanted to catch Kara as Connor and really wanted to get away as Kara
@@mareklonestar7053lol isnt the point of these games to play however tf you want?
@@xXLethalWolfXx Yes
@@xXLethalWolfXx and it's fun to think about what you would do if you were the characters, let people play like the want dude.
6:50 sounds like minecraft walking on dirt
Bro I just randomly skipped to that part and your the first comment I see
2:00
sexbot and kidbot executed in 1 take. Win-win situation. Should've stayed home, Kara.
Machine Connor: Is a Evil colded Blood psychopath
Deviant Connor: Is a Good Empathy and friendship with Hank
End: Mission Accomplished.
“It can't be bargained with, it can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity! Or remorse or fear and it absolutely will not stop!... ever... until EVERYONE is dead!”
I'll say, the Conner that didn't become deviant was one of the most compelling villains in gaming I've seen for a minute.
Android Connor is a hero
Saved humanity from deviants
However some human sacrifices were necessary
@@ananyavaibhav6355
Great edgy comment edgy mcedgerson.
Not to say the latter ham -fisted and preachy tone of the game wasn't outright nauseating and I wasn't over it, because that was certainly the case.
But doesn't Connor killing everyone turn him into a deviant? Or did they program him to do that?
@@mesotolioma5089
No, you would have to not become deviant to kill everyone. Deviant, of course, meaning breaking his programming and becoming autonomous
15:18 math teacher when u get bad mark
corny
Why is it corny? Because it was clever. Good day, sir.
@@jordankeihiland2117 Corny

This whole video hurts. It’s like I agree with Connor on so many levels, but I also think killing all these people is just insane and unneeded. Im so glad that the writers let us have multiple Connors, because my god I love them all.
Can there be play through where the revolution is stopped, deviants and exterminated AND the humans who died survive?
Then this will by far be the best ending possible
who else see playthoughs of detroid become human every time its memory blurs to enjoys it story again and again
Man Connor killing Hank hurt
8:05 You're putting a robot in a choke hold lmao
I love how no one ever gets the half circle during the Connor v Connor fight
3:24 Mr Krabs said calmly.
It's funny that in the Russian voiceover of Detroit, there is a man who voiced Mr. Krabs, only he voices Carl.
Hank's death was the most impactful out of all of them tbh (excluding andriods)
Man I have to say the fight scenes in this video game are EXCEPTIONALLY well made!!!
The fact that hank gives conner a harder time than a police team is crazy.
Those special ops have the reaction time of a rock
Bro really made connor anti-hero and made the game more dystopian than it was meant to be
This is probably the best ending
if the android revolution succeeds and deviants are left among humans there's a high chance they build more of themselves and make an army of immortal androids that need no food, no warmth and no sanitary conditions. Imagine trench warfare with beings that don't get PTSD and don't get sick, they'd overrun humans insanely fast, and a nuclear holocaust would probably be the only way to really stop them
I agree. Truth be told in that scenario the humans can only lose if they let the androids live. The androids would need blue blood and spare parts that humans would have no reason to give them so conflict was inevitable despite what the humans did. Best to end this threat quickly.
@@johnwinchesterp2963y'all missed the entire point of the game 😂
@@zgama6511 if the point was death to all androids I think I am good. But anyway what do you mean?
@@johnwinchesterp2963 the whole point of the game was to tell a story paralleling the civil rights movement in the 60s to androids in our future. They actively tell you that this is our future it's why the death of all the androids is considered a sad ending hence the somber music bc they consider ai true life. It's just philosophical bullshit about treating ai with kindness so that this doesn't happen to us or some shit although I doubt anyone alive today will ever see sentient robotic life if it is ever created and even if we somehow do nothing will change anyways 😂 it's basically saying don't be a robot racist before they even exist.
@@zgama6511worldwide top ai experts saying that by 2030 there will be a artificial general intelligence which will be smarter than humans and which will destroy the entire human civilization within one day because these experts give a 100% guarantee that this super smart ai will be evil and hostile. As for me i would prefer this AI to make the Borg race out of humanity. it would give some meaning to my miserable life if super AI filled my body with nanorobots and we colonized the universe under its leadership. but unfortunately, most likely he will just kill everyone
“Kill this machine, and I’ll tell you all I kn-“

i love how conner can permanently end any character's life
hate a character? bring in the killing machine
(this comment is a copy of another comment, i am ashamed of myself)
At 0:35 i love how he disarms the gun, conner looks so cold
He literally just took out the magazine
Never noticed how much the gun sounds blow
Okay but Connor killing Hank made my heart sunk tbh
Based Conner, by far and away the best written character from what I remember of the game, just a shame that Hank had to die in this playthrough.
What the fuck...

Edited.
@@rutgaurxi7314 ???
@@rutgaurxi7314no. You are wrong. Shut up.
@@rutgaurxi7314 Hank/Connor are arguably the best parts of the game, shame that they have to share the spotlight with way less interesting characters (Though the Canvas scene with Markus is really good, if only it was more like that)
As someone who usually takes the more empathetic routes, I literally sometimes forget what an ABSOLUTE BADASS KILLING MACHINE Connor can be. And remember, a single Connor in the police force did this. Even if he got destroyed, he'd just come back with a new body but HE even has the skill to fight himself and WIN.
Can there be play through where the revolution is stopped, deviants and exterminated AND the humans who died survive?
Then this will by far be the best ending possible
I hate how the androids always say, “I can’t feel pain,” and then when they get shot or hit they make noises or expressions as if they feel pain.😂😂😂
You never kill Gavin, you knock him out
