   I'm playing Detroit Become Human on Linux, and it's... f*cking awesome!

     We got tired of "realistic graphics".

     What videogames actually needed is the same thing that movies always needed: good writing, good direction and good acting.

     Ok, and games also need good gameplay.

     This is perhaps the only element that's a bit lacking in Detroit Become Human, but a good plot can make up for the lack of pew pew.

     Ok, you "have no time for videogames". But maybe you'll find the time to watch a video full of spoilers?

     Kara's and Alice's story is one of the arcs intertwining in Detroit Become Human. It follows an android who becomes a fugitive to protect a girl from her abusive father.

     @fn I finished it... once!

     Now I'd want to play some alternative choices to see if I can minimize bloodshed... or go the opposite extreme and give the humans a good reason for hating us so much ✊

     @codewiz I very much agree with your sentiment. Companies are pushing graphics too much which causes more issues for both the players and developers in the long term.

     I will say though that /David Cage/ works such as this one are not really a good case for writing and acting. Just so many things that I am repressing... 😬

     If you are loving it, I hope you do finish it and have a good time. 👍
