Don't Be That Guy: A Totally Unofficial Guide to Keeping Connor Alive in Detroit: Become Human
So you've booted up Detroit: Become Human, ready to dive into a world of androids, revolution, and existential dread. But hold on to your cybernetic horses, there's a little problem: Connor, our favorite (or maybe not-so-favorite, depending on your choices) RK800, has a nasty habit of kicking the bucket. Fear not, fellow gamers! This guide, brought to you by someone who's definitely not cried over a fictional android's demise (totally wasn't me), will equip you with the knowledge to keep Connor in tip-top shape.
How To Not Kill Connor Detroit |
Round One: The Early Bird Gets the Software Update
- Listen to Hank, Even When He Whines Like a Rusty Tin Can: This gruff detective might seem like a walking clich�, but trust me, he's got Connor's back (most of the time). Ignoring his advice is a recipe for disaster, especially during hostage situations. Remember, two heads – well, one head and a grumpy cop – are better than one.
- Think Before You Leap (Especially Off Buildings): There will be moments where Connor contemplates a good old-fashioned swan dive. Don't let him! While his acrobatics are impressive, they rarely end well. There's usually another, less plummet-y way out.
The Art of Not Being a Machine (Unless You Want to Be)
- Building a Bromance with Hank: Hank may scoff at the idea, but a genuine connection with him can be the difference between life and laser-beam-to-the-face. Show him some respect, listen to his war stories (even the boring ones), and maybe even offer to fetch his donuts. A happy Hank is a Connor-saving Hank.
- Questioning Your Programming (But Not Too Much): The line between machine and deviant is a blurry one in Detroit. Exploring Connor's potential for deviancy can be fascinating, but be careful. Going full-on rogue might get you deactivated faster than you can say "self-preservation protocol."
Showdowns and Smackdowns: A (Hopefully Brief) Guide
- Quick on the Draw (But Not Too Quick): There will be shootouts. There will be QTEs. Mastering these is key to Connor's survival. But remember, a cool head prevails. Don't mash buttons like a rabid raccoon – focus and react!
- Picking Your Battles (Unless You're a Terminator): Sometimes, diplomacy is the best option. Defusing a situation or talking your way out of a fight can save both Connor and countless innocent bystanders.
Bonus Tip: If all else fails, spam the reload button. Nobody judges a little save-scumming in the name of keeping your favorite android alive.
QuickTip: Don’t just scroll — process what you see.
