These Video Game Moral Choices SUCK!

[@Retr0J]

Oi Oi! You thought that the lockdown was gonna stop THESE THINGS SUCK!?!? NO NOT AT ALL! Thank you so much for watching the video and I hope you enjoyed it! Give some love to Rich who edited this and to yourself because you're a #biglej! Some of you will have missed it but in the live chat I said if this hits 10K likes then I'll do a cat reveal (got two cats here in Wales and I can confirm they are lovely) Make it happen to see my pus...no not gonna finish that line. Big love to you all, Jules xoxoxo

[@birichinaxox9937]

Jules. Cheers for your consistent kind mental health messaging. It is clearly important to you. It make such a difference. It is sometimes the only kind words we might here and any straw can help cling on for one more day. Even more so with the quarantine. All the best and please show us the pretty kitties.

[@mpc562]

I do enjoy greatly the videos you host! No shade cast onto your talented partners at WhatCultureGaming, either. Also, thank you so much for the words of support & compassion you close out your videos with. Take care. Be well. Stay safe. And game! ✌🏾

[@AztecFlameGod13]

If you’re talking about picking Jd or what’s his face I agree. I hate when non rpg games force you to make that kind of decision because of how it’ll affect the sequel. I don’t even think that many people chose what’s his face over Marcus Fenix’s literal son, his last remaining family after his father sacrificed himself,his best friend who’s like a brother also sacrificing himself, and finally his wife dying offscreen. I wasn’t gonna give Marcus more suffering even if I find jd kind of annoying.

[@ncombs1986]

@@AztecFlameGod13 What was disappointing for me was the scene after you make your choice. After seeing both versions, there's not much difference between them other than Marcus' reaction if you chose JD. The other guy's name is Del btw.

[@oxic88]

I love all of content WhatCulture produces for us, but I have to say everything Jules creates/is a part of really makes my day. Absolute MVP in my book! Just wanted to put that out there. If you see this, Jules, you’re awesome. I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that. Cheers buddy!

Smack a pair of balls against my forehead, I appreciate each and every video you put out. When you said that little rant about Bandersnatch and the illusion of free will it hit hard. I live in the USA and I am unsure if you are following what is happening here, but it is really bad. We are basically at the moment where if we don't choose protesting and resistance we are looking down the barrel of losing any Democratic choice. I really appreciate every outro you do as well, I find myself welling up with tears because it sounds as if you understand the struggle. That struggle is real and hearing you speak from the heart makes many of us feel like we aren't alone in all of this, so for all that you do I sincerely thank you.

[@howdabowdix]

The Infamous series has some pretty lame "moral" choices that decide whether you become a hero or a villain. The choices in the first Infamous were particularly bad because doing anything to help yourself is portrayed as evil. In one of them, you're forced to choose which to save from certain death: your girlfriend, or a small group of total strangers. I don't think it's evil to choose the girlfriend, but the developers apparently do. They even punish you for it by having her treat you like a scumbag for saving her and dump you like a sack of moldy potatoes. Great games for the most part though

[@SlaveKnightGael1579]

It’s not evil for choosing your girlfriend, it’s because you let 4 people die to save just one.

[@tastyloaf5487]

@@SlaveKnightGael1579 Still stupid.

[@Dreadjaws]

@@SlaveKnightGael1579 It's still not evil. You were doing it out of love. Most people would do the fucking same in real life. If there's a crisis, what's your priority, your loved ones or a bunch of strangers? It's a stupid moral choice. A better idea would have been having one of those strangers be an important character that can help stop the villain. That way you actually give some importance to the other characters, and your girlfriend has a valid motive to be upset, that you could have stopped all this and didn't.

[@asasiot3949]

Saving 4 lifes vs saving 1 life. I wouldn't like to meet you in real life if you're so fucking dumb

[@edbrunov5653]

I'm happy with the way the walking dead telltale games did it - all I was told was my experience would change based on my choices, that's exactly what happened. I was best bros with Kenny in my playthrough, helped him deal with loss but my friend hated the murdering coward - we each had completely different feelings towards the character as we played. Could it have been done better? Yes, very much so. Very, very much so haha! But did I make choices that affected how I played the rest of the game? Also yes.

[@christopherjudge598]

You’re messages at the end of your videos recently have been giving me some well needed hope through these trying times. Thanks you do much.

The talk about machinations & free will reminded me of one of my favorite games series that is likely not coming back anytime soon, Legacy of Kain, nice, dark, gothic, full of y’all about free will and lack thereof. Great stuff, thanks.

There were a couple of episodes of the Pokemon anime where Team Rocket used guns, one was to hold up a supply shop (in the Squirtle Squad episode) and was edited for Western audiences and the other was when they held a park ranger hostage in an attempt to abduct a rare and endangered Pokemon (Dratini) from the Safari Zone...that episode was simply skipped in the West and never translated, which is a shame because that's the one where Ash caught his 30 Tauros.

[@WolfmansSunDesigns]

I love your guys videos. Thanks for keeping up the content during these hard times.

[@vipulgupta4348]

That sax was amazing. Also I hate the choice in RDR2 too because it means Arthur's actions are never addressed directly again but just vaguely.

[@GabePuratekuta]

RE: The choices at the beginning. I'd have chosen eating glass as it's the only one you'd be able to recover from.

[@merchantfan]

Is anyone else confused about the bandersnatch one? Bc most of your choices *totally* matter? There's so many different endings you can based on what you choose and how many times you replay? You can get him to get an A on his video game by having him go insane, you can end up with a 4th wall breaking ending, you can have him die, his friend can die, or you can get what I'd consider to be the 'true' ending with the mom (especially how the music changes.... :( ).

[@Schedelke]

"I'm a dickhead, now give me an egg!'

[@Tom1kr]

In the second army of two, almost all choices are story wise, neither here nor there. Yes if you choose the "good" choices the mercy and decent ones, there are lookups that you will get that, you won't if you choose the other option. But story wise not so much. For example, the first choice comes after you complete the training level. You are told that you client wants you to kill your guide. If you choose kill well he dies. But if you choose to spare him, you se a video of him escaping, go to a Pacific island with money in a bag, then you se him sleep in a chair at the beach, then a guy comes out of the ocean with a gun and yeah Guess the rest. All are like that choose good see some thing bad happen, choose bad and see something bad happen.

[@neonmole9453]

I'm confused, how can you ever have an impact on a moral choice on a TV show?

[@EduardoWeidmanBarijan]

Nice intro. What about the moral choice after QUBE 2? Or the Turing Test? Sometimes the game just wants us to feel really bad even though nothing matters.

[@danbritton3754]

I honestly don’t see an issue with the game of thrones choice in context of both the game of thrones world and Ramsey Bolton the character. If anything I think it’s brilliant in its execution. The guy is a monumental jerk in both books & tv and the fact that there is no real way to survive this encounter helps cement that about Ramsey in game and that no matter what you do Ramsey is the true one in control of your destiny in that situation. So him killing you makes a tonne of sense within the world of game of thrones and to be able to escape that outcome in game diminishes the character development of Ramsey in the larger narrative.

[@tastyloaf5487]

I agree, I think the Walking Dead examples were way better -- whenever you have to choose to save someone in the WD games, the person you save will still die at some point anyway.

[@trodat07]

Fallout 3, the Tempeny Tower quest. You are told the humans comfortably living there are evil and racist and evil so you have to help the poor sewer ghouls get in. The thing is, Tempeny's argument is that both groups aren't compatible and mixing them will only bring dread for one or another, while ghouls say that's xenophobic horse crap and everything's gonna be alright for everyone. You don't help the ghouls, the game makes you feel evil and racist and evil; you help the ghouls and so time later there's no more humans living in the Tower because they all have been forced out or something else. According to the quest's own failed plot, Tempeny's was right all along. In second place, the Incubus in Witcher 3. There aren't wild incubus out there to get an unique ingredient from and the only two you encounter are in a distressful situation where you have to choose between helping them and missing the ingredient forever or getting the ingredient but feeling awful afterwards.

So if you didn't let Conrad Verner live to see Mass Effect 3, I don't suppose you learned about his Ph.D. in Dark Matter that can be used as research on the Crucible. (If you did a bunch of corresponding random side quests in Mass Effect 1 that helps him finish his research that is. It's weird.) He also apologized to me for saying I stuck a gun in his face when I hadn't. He only gives you an extra 5 points or so of Galactic readiness, but the thought of getting anything useful out of Conrad at all is slightly mind-blowing.

The meaningless choice thing has always annoyed me. Hated it in Bioshock Infinite, t'was enough to nope me out of even playing Game of Thrones... Actually, I'll add to it. Forced choices that don't fit into a setting are even worse. Fallout 3; The final choice had many alternative solutions that were denied for no good reason. Fallout *_4_* had the infamous Hole In The Wall quest with a "bug" virtually guaranteed to stick you with a permanent 10% off your health or selfishly dooming Austin Engels. That was on goddamn *_PURPOSE_* and you'll never convince me otherwise. Don't even get me started on the Fridge Kid. Ghouls don't work that way! If the kid had survived 210 years in a fridge at all it would have been as a Feral. Setting breaks for a stunt, jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez!!
