10 Video Game Choices That Came Back To Haunt You

Some video game choices are far from simple. Players can be left tearing their hair out as they try to figure out where their decisions will lead and just how badly one rash choice will screw up their perfect run. And when something as innocuous as opening a door can kill a beloved character hours later, how can we ever trust ourselves to make a choice again? Here are 10 Video Game Choices That Came Back to Haunt You!

I accidently did the correct thing in Deus Ex and didn't get the chip upgrade simply because I forgot about it.

[@charlieboy13]

I loaded all the way back to before I got it because fighting the big bad at the end with nothing was a bloody nightmare

[@quinnmarchese6313]

the one thing ive never done in HR is save Faridah Malik. I didn't even know it was a possibility. the chip always seemed like a red flag to me, but that was mostly genre experience.

[@Fonzzz002]

Supermassive is good at this. In Man Of Medan: if you decide to get out of the water early after diving, the character will die anti-climactically at the very end of the game due to decompression illness. In Until Dawn, if you (for some god forsaken reason) decide to shoot the squirell at the beginning, Sam won't be able to escape the killer much later in the game, due to a wound caused by an angry bird.

[@jarlwhiterun7478]

Squirell? Lolol

[@PJ_TheAverageGamer]

That spoiler warning is top tier. Great work.

[@matteste]

Several choices found in Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous really ended up coming way, way later in the game in some surprising ways.

[@Vook]

I made fun of Victoria in Life is Strange because I hated her. Never regretted it, never reconsidered it, and never even bothered to look up what would happen if I’d done otherwise. Glad to know I did the right thing all along.

[@quinnmarchese6313]

life is strange gave me the power to make fun of her and then rewind to do the nice Max run, don't actually regret either. Victoria doesn't actually die because of the whole time travel shenanigans, as long as you dont save Chloe at the end, and when she actually starts being nice to you, its believable and solid character development. she doesn't even do the "im gonna be mean to you in front of my friends, but secretly we're cool" thing, she just starts openly being nice

[@olegkozhura]

You actually can both comfort and save Victoria in LiS if you don't warn her later on at the party

[@tychodragon]

AC odyssey is 10/10

[@mandroid-rb4uy]

hello Peter "Draining the snake"lol

[@vex_13]

The first time i played MGS torture scene, im still a dumb kid so i just press select immediately because its flashing on the screen.

[@SuperCiggieBlower]

When i finish Fail to find the wedding ring I felt like a 90-year-old man whose life was over. I don't know why🤣

[@zachtwilightwindwaker596]

3:59 Hey guys :D! 5:22 YOU ARE DEAD! 9:57 Well I screwed up here. 10:35 Is the mustache actually a beard? It's too far down. You got to be cruel to be kind. I freed the spirit in Witcher 3.

[@antfrancis9941]

I recently just played the quarry a few days ago. Got right to the final chapter, kept every character alive, thought I was doing well until the last 10 minutes of the game then I lost about 4 characters within a 5 minute space BECAUSE OF DECISIONS I MADE WAY BACK IN CHAPTER 7.😡😡😡😡😡

[@TheKingkata]

not killing the ancient leshen in wild hunt

[@rhelenius3670]

Cyberpunk 2077 save takemura 😔

[@BooperTee]

I have loved Peter, Ben & Mikey for YEARS. Tiny Peter and I share the same birthday too! You guys always have been and are still amazing. Cheers!

[@jamesmcgeachy5433]

🎉

[@FatalityPWN]

The beginning of Chrono Trigger will always piss me off with the stuff in the fair and the choices you make affects the courtroom scene. Also the fucking little girl who said I ignored her.

[@BetterCallJamie]

I’m currently playing through The Quarry, on chapter 4 and I hate every character and we (me and the wife) are cheering on the monsters.

[@GacMan47]

That's like every Dark Pictures game though.

[@jon-nl4zc]

@@GacMan47 nah, they extra douchy in that one. Still after having gotten most of them killed or monsterized.I consider it a personal challenge.

[@aliensweathands]

[@Boogie_the_cat]

Find any colorectal polyps lately? Someone stole mine. Someone with big almond eyes and grey skin. And sweaty hairy palms.

[@dvdbox360]

that last one is just dev being a massive dick by making protag with personality a complete opposite to the situation they were in it just ludo narrative

[@Un.fathom]

I once loved a girl on Facebook, was the worst choice that came back to haunt me. But then, I guess we all have a Face book in our minds.

[@aaronchapman6994]

What a ripoff of clock tower at number 10s entry 😂😂😂 that's surely some kind of IP theft

[@quinnmarchese6313]

its literally a clock tower game in all but name lol calm down

[@Boogie_the_cat]

#1: buying a wii u

[@zachtwilightwindwaker596]

What do you mean? The Zelda HD collection remains exclusive on that console. There's also Yoshi's Wooly World and Paper Mario Color Splash which are also exclusive.

[@GacMan47]

Life Is Strange is such a bullshit game. It's amazing no one has seen it like it is yet.

[@quinnmarchese6313]

i mean, almost everyone i know, including myself, who like it also know its absolute bullshit. the time travel stuff has like no rules and what rules are there are broken in the next episode, the dialogue is often either terribly written, awkwardly translated, or both, the characters have either an annoying lack of confidence or an overabundance of confidence, the entire game resting on the final decision, etc. i can go off, but at the end of the day, for SOME reason, its a damn good time. for lots of people, its the soft Twin Peaks inspiration, quirky-to-a-fault soundtrack (which is actually quite fantastic, if you're into folk), painterly artstyle, and some genuinely excellent but scant puzzles.

[@vagabundorkchaosmagick-use2898]

I regret the choice of buying Ni No Kuno 2, Nier Automata, and Edge of Eternity. Terrible games!

[@marcusinfinity9386]

Damn terrible?

[@vagabundorkchaosmagick-use2898]

@@marcusinfinity9386 NNK is childish and has a monster collection mechanic and a RTS mechanic and a city builder mechanic but all these are shallow. NA is cringe, annoying one dimensional characters, it mentions many philosophers and sociologists but the game is not deep as it pretenda to be. Edge of Eternity is broken, unplayable on PS4.

[@quinnmarchese6313]

@@vagabundorkchaosmagick-use2898 curious to know how much of NA you played. not saying its great though. NNK is SUPPOSED to be childish, its a game for children--doesn't mean its bad, its just meant to be easy and pleasing, which it is. idk about edge of eternity lol

[@vagabundorkchaosmagick-use2898]

@@quinnmarchese6313 Nier: 5 endings, I played as the main character, her friend and the their enemy but I stopped then. I played perhaps 30 hours. The reviews of NNK said it was not a childish games as the first one, that it had a more serious story and so on. Reviews lied! Edge is a very ambitious game, they tried to compete with Tales and Star Ocean, but with a a new take on turn based combat similar to Trails in the Sky, grid based but not tactical. But the game crashes and keeps crashing.

[@quinnmarchese6313]

@@vagabundorkchaosmagick-use2898 alright you got all the important nier ends, awesome. if thats how you came away after all 5 endings, than your opinion is totally valid. yeah, those NNK reviews lied to you, im sorry lol. seems interesting if it wouldn't crash all the time.
