It wasn't a game-ending choice but in FF7 Remake, you start chapter 10 with having fallen into the sewers, thanks to Don Corneo. Cloud wakes up first and you have to pick between first waking up either Tifa or Aerith. They did too good of a job with showing the relationship he has with both of them, so it was a really hard pick. But I think I ultimately chose Aerith. Her cutscene in the garden then turned out to be probably the most emotional moment in the game for me. She tells him not to fall in love with her and you'd expect Cloud to say something along his trademark catchphrase, "Not interested!" or something equally rough. But, no. He doesn't instantly reject her. He instead says, "Don't I get a say?" It's almost an admission. Almost. And coming from a closed-off character like Cloud, that's huge.
First Mass Effect saving or destroying the Rachni queen. Genuinely made me think about what I should do and what the potential represcussions would be.
I'd personally say that curing the genophage was the tougher choice. Powerful, warmongering species tried to overrun the galaxy. They were genetically sterilised. Ending the war but resulting in a societal collapse. 1000 years later, the krogan are a dieing, fatalist people and you have a chance to cure their sterilisation. Do you do it and risk another war of conquest or not and let the slow genocide run it's course.
I honestly believe that Life is Strange 2 is hugely underrated exactly because of how moral system for your brother works. I love how you can shape his personality and how much of an impact is has not only on endings but generally on the game. He remembers when you keep changing your mind, doubts you and so there are 2 versions of each of 2 endings and all are great, imo. I've had a lot more fun with LiS2 than LiS1, there's more actual reasons to replay it different way because your entire run counts towards the ending.
The Walking Dead had a similar morality system with Clementine making choices for AJ - and he will eventually act out on his own following her guidance.
Me and my partner always play quantic dream games and I will never forget the moment during the shark trial where R2 popped up on screen and she said "What button is not to shoot?" And pushed R2 out of habit and shot him dead lol
I actually never thought the choice of "Surrender" or "Cross" in LIS2 was difficult. Through the entire game, I thought the plan of "escape into Mexico despite your dad taking you away from there for your safety" was a TERRIBLE idea, and was surprised that almost nobody seemed to tell Sean and Daniel how bad it was.
Life is Strange 2, left me full of heartache, and I really had to evaluate my choice, and as I struggled through it, I was reaffirmed that I chose the right choice: Try to power through, even though Daniel surrendered himself. Both brothers had a relative good life, even though they were separate :) But anyhow you slice it the struggle is real, and no other game impacted me in such a powerful way.
I honestly think them separating is the worst ending cause of all it was pretty much caused by Daniel. Part one. Part 4 and part 3 ending as sneaking or not, Daniel will unleash his power
@@EverythingAnimePodcast I could not bare the thought of Sean broken in prison, it seemed unfair. The rest could never be considered to me as that would mean that the good brothers I knew was gone, and all morality had been thrown out the window. But as long as you found peace with choice, that is all that matters. This is tough, as underscored by the division in our choices.
@@Eiweing Yeah, I got the redemption ending/Sean in prison, and it was painful and heartbreaking, especially when he starts to cry when they're camping. But I feel like it sits best in my mind. I think LiS 2 far exceeds the first LiS because of how they developed the brothers and how you relate to them, making the four different endings resonate vastly differently for everyone. Just thinking about it is making me emotional again.
@@milankostic2571You have a point but put into consideration all the effects that letting Chloe die will have. I think William would have been devastated on seeing Chloe dead on the floor Infront of her killer. And not to mention the fact that Chloe would die while still feeling abandoned since Rachel recently disappeared and she never met max again in that timeline. But that ending felt like it was the right one since we were able to 'see' Chloe's character development pay of at the end of the story as she willingly gave her life away when she realised that doing so would save Arcadia Bay, and we let her do so. Just finished the story today and it brought me to literal tears😢.
Never had a issue letting Gaunter O'dimm take Olgierds soul, he was a horrible guy. Plus with the new update you get paid way better. I had a bigger issue with either letting the kids live or let the chrones eat them in the bloody Baron quest.
Ya. Ogierd was an ass who made a deal with a devil. I let him pay his dues. He thought he had tricked a devil so he had it coming(we did grant all his wishes after all). And then I avoided the wish cuz I'm not making a deal with gaunter. But ya. The hag situation was hard. Between kids or wife. Or further in, releasing that spirit to kill a village or not.
Alright, but seriously, how is Mass Effect missing on this list? It has several choices right up this list's alley. Killing or hacking the Heretics comes to mind (which is "kinder": genocide or mass brainwashing a species), as well as several others (Rachni Queen, Collector Base, Ashley/Kaidan)
I honestly never saw olgierd as a lovable rogue. He always felt like a psychopath. Everytime I tried to understand how he became this way and tried to see how he turned out like this. But the more I knew about his past and how little he seemed to regret it I just gave up on trying to redeem him. O’dimm, now he’s a lovable rogue. No matter what he does he has this lovable charm to him. And other than the man he “serves a spoon” you don’t really see him hurting innocent folk. I only saved olgierd to see what it was like to challenge the master mirror ❤
Maybe its because its not as a popular game, but the first Blood Omen, at the end you could either choose to sacrifice yourself or become the ruler of Nosgoth, however if you choose to sacrifice yourself that would mean it would be the end of the vampire race, and if you didn't sacrifice yourself, the pillars of Nosgoth would decay and not have anymore guardians.
I always hope to see Oasis on one of these lists in the hopes that I'm not the only one that struggled with choosing to end Harold's suffering or force him to suffer and let the Grove continue to flourish. Under the right idea, the water gets purified and could let that happen at the end regardless but still, without knowing the ending and the purification machine seeming like a long shot while the Grove offered an alternate return to normal, it was hard to decide for me.
*Vault 34* - Clearly you save the food; it's a dwindling resource that must be protected, and if you save the people, you just have more mouths to feed. Sorry vaulties, the food takes priority...
I wish the games that show global player choices specify first playthrough choice percentages. I know some of the ones on here that are close to 50/50 have been affected by people replaying the games and making the other choice.
For FO:NV I saved the survivors in Vault 34. The farmers could hopefully find other means to raise their crops but those trapped in the Vault had no such options.
In KOTOR, when playing dark side, I thought it was tough to steal the wraid plate from the women who's husband just died and needed the money (The Less Fortunate side quest).
it turned out it was nothing but the fate of connor in dragon age... the ideal solution is get the leader of the mages to help... but i hadn't saved the mages and was worried due to some of the games writings tgat i didnt gave time to go do the mages. (you do have time but with out knowing its a tough choice.
In Ghost of Tsushima I picked the spare ending because it felt wrong to kill him. I think the spare ending was better anyway. I have no honor so why start now? I'm in the majority.
I find the Olgierd vs O'Dimm choice pretty easy. Olgierd is a dumb fool did some horrible things, yes. But O'Dimm is pure evil. No way I let HIM win. I find the Baron's quest with the Witches much more difficult to decide. LiS... pure pain. The cut-scenes of "Save Bae" vs "Save Bay" clearly show what was the intended choice. And I don''t agree with the devs at all ;-)
In Witcher 3. Never make a deal with a devil. I let ogerd die. He made a deal with a devil and i did my dues and gave him what he asked for. As a bonus. I did not take the wish deal either. Cuz im not gonna get fucked over too. I vacated asap.
Not really, if you talk about story you just need one to get the bad ending and from a gameplay point of view saving them gave you more adam that if you kill them, so theres no reason to think about it, its allways save or save everyone but one for bad ending
I always sacrifice Arcadia Bay I killed Shimura I killed the drug dealer I actually surrendered in Life is Strange 2 I just checked the stats for the ending of Life is Strange 1 48% save Chloe vs 52% sacrifice Chloe The remastered has it at different percentage last time I checked but it's not loading for me now On playstation at least Edit, on the remastered version it's at 56% save Chloe and 44% sacrifice Chloe
The fact that Lisa the painful RPG isn’t on here is a crime, that game is filled with decisions that could be on this list. Indie games deserve love too, not just AAA releases.
The most heart wrenching choice in Life Is Strange 1 is to either end Chloe’s suffering in an alternate timeline (caused by surviving a car crash) as requested by Chloe, allowing her to her pass away peacefully in her sleep but you’ll live with the knowledge that you are the one responsible for killing her or to let her suffer a painful depressing life with her knowing she is a huge burden on her parents - and to have her blame you for her unwanted existence as you wouldn’t go through with her request of you.
Spoiler List : -Life is Strange -Ghost of Tsushima -Detroit Become Human -Fallout New Vegas -Heavy Rain -Wastelands 3 - The Walking Dead : Season 2 -Thhe Witcher 3 : Wild Hunt -Life is Strange 2 So, no, no Baldur's Gate 3 spoilers here :)
Regardless of whether you shoot Kenny or let him kill Jane, there are still choices to make if you go with them. If you go with Jane back to Carver's camp, you have to decide whether to admit another family. If you go with Kenny to Wellington, you have to decide whether to go in without Kenny (the settlement is already overpopulated and won't admit all three of you), or continue traveling with him. Kenny desperately tries to convince you to stay, even admitting that he's unfit to care for AJ.
The Kenny vs Jane choice was really difficult for me. I walked away from the game for a half hour to think about it. In the end though I let Kenny kill Jane. There were a few things behind the choice. The first thing was that in the play through I imported Kenny and Lee were friends, best friends, and to me that would have influenced Clem. Second was when Kenny is facing down Luke's group he completely disarms himself on seeing Clem, even kneeling down to look at her. Let's skip ahead or I'll be typing all day. Even after arguing with Jane in the car, when they crash the first thing he does is ask if she is okay, not AJ or Clem he wanted to know Jane was okay. Kenny was broken and the worst thing was that he knew that but he kept on trying. I genuinely shed a tear when he was begging Clem to leave him at the end of season 2. I went with him because in the end he would die to protect his family, and in a New Frontier that's exactly what he did.
That choice between Chloe and the Bay was such a painful one. I grew to love Chloe's character through out the game and undoing all of it to let her die at the beginning... I normally go with the morally obvious choice of sacrificing the one to save the many, but I wanted to see what exactly would happen if you save her instead. Essentially, the two of you survive for the time being, but the game suggests that the danger is far from over. Then I played again and picked the right choice and it was definitely the most satisfying of the two endings. It was depressing and painful as hell, but it was the most impactful. God... I've gotta play this game again.
Sacrifice Chloe ending in Life is Strange hits hard but it much more fleshed out and makes for much more fulfilling story, it all comes full circle in the end
If you don't shoot Kenny you find out Kenny actually knew he wasn't stable and decides to leave Clem and A.J with a settlement and he even goes far to talk to Clem letting her know he isn't right in the head and shouldn't be around both children. And so he leaves Clem and A.J to the settlement saying they will take better care of them both theb he can.
I felt no connection to Jane throughout the story, her plan to leave a baby by itself to prove that Kenny is crazy is beyond insane, and she kills herself anyway when she finds out she is pregnant. Kenny may have been much more aggressive towards the end of the game, but never towards Clem (and who wouldn't lose their mind with all the stuff Kenny's been through). Really don't understand why picking Jane over Kenny was so popular .
I just realized something. Life is Strange has you saving someone with time travel powers, right? Saving that one person dooms the rest of the town. The Flash movie has Flash...saving one person but finding out it dooms the rest of the planet. I wonder if the movie's writer played Life is Strange.
Mass Effect 3: Kill Mordin so the cure for Krogans dont procure or let him fix it so Krogan can reproduce again but loose the backing of elite Salarian guys.... that one hurted no matter what you choose.... Altogether Mass Effect as a franchise had a loooooooooooooot of great moral choises.....
#9's choice is actually an easy one if you're a Star Trek fan. "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one." a.k.a. sacrifice Chloe.
For LiS 2 I picked choices I would do, and ended up with low morality and the blood brothers ending. I saved Chloe in the first game though, as I liked her
To be fair, the only one of these choices I had to make was the number 10 spot, and really it wasn't that tough. After so much of the game was spent spending time with Chloe, and getting to know her... I couldn't hit the 'Sacrifice Chloe' button fast enough.
Lol!! Had us in the first half. I've not played the game but watched a walkthrough and I fully agree. If I heard "hella" one more time, I was going to lose it. Let her annoying, always the victim ass die and save the rest of the town.
Yeah, she is definitely acquired taste to put it gently 😁 I soured on her when she gave Max crap about answering a phone call from a suicidal girl instead of catering to her whims, I mean how self centered can a person be?
@@milankostic2571 She couldn't known Kate was suicidal? She even apologised later. Honestly, Max was worse here. She knew part of what happened to Kate, she saw her room and she didn't call anybody? I would at least told some friend to watch over her. Or took her with me on the "detective adventure". Chloe would be mad at first but understood why later.
There was one that I encountered today as I played Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. When you are going to get the watchmaker’s daughter Alex contacts you that you need to get to the bank. You have the choice of either saving Allison and hopefully getting more intel on who the terrorist are or go to the bank and get intel on who the major players are that have being working in the shadows throughout the game. It’s a tough decision which I chose to go save Allison as a person’s life is more important than information on a shadow organization. Either way you continue the game but it’s one of those tough choices you have to make in a game
I'm surprised the Kill Ashley/Shoot yourself choice from Until Dawn from the intro wasn't in the list. If you don't find the totem related to this it's a hell of a choice.
My choices in the games listed that i have played... Ghost Tsushima: I spared Lord Shimura; because i loved his character and the look of pride and respect in Jin he shows by becoming his own man to forge his own destiny, (and i personally believe that Jin and Shimura meet in secret thus maintaining their family bonds) Detroit Become Human: I always choose pacifism whenever i replay it, I'm personally opposed to responding to violence with more violence. Heavy Rain: I spare the dealer in the playthrough i did to pop the platinum trophy, any player can figure out the destination with at least 3/4 Clues so killing the father/dealer is not mandatory. Walking Dead S2: Always pick Kenny because Jane is awful and selfish.
Sparing Shimura is honestly the only choice I ever make, Ghost of Tsushima's entire narrative message is to show how flawed the Samurai Bushido can be, as Jin becoming the ghost saved Tsushima, sparing Shimura let's him see things from Jin's viewpoint and hopefully let's him accept, if not emphasize with Jin.
Pretty much all choices like these have their roots in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan... the theory is possibly older then this, but, chances are this is where it all started for the majority of people knowing and thinking about it. Do you choose the needs of the many (head/logic), or do you choose the needs of the few, or the one (heart/humanity)?
This is completely random but am I the only one that is stack with the way she pronaunces Sean, deranged killer, Silva and drug dealer starting at 6:31? I love the way she speaks....👌
I absolutely hated the ending of Ghost of Tsushima. Neither was the right choice. Jin needed to die to reclaim his soul. The only right choice was to allow Shimura to kill him but that wouldn't allow for sequels so the devs abandoned the samurai drama just when it became most important.
For me the hardest choice in LIS was the Bladerunner scene. I'd had a conversation about end of life choices with my mum only weeks earlier where she'd asked that as the most trustworthy offspring to support her in ending things if her health deteriorated too much or if she became incapable of taking this step. She valued quality of life over quantity. Being hit with this in game choice so soon after that conversation made it the hardest game choice I'd ever faced. I cried, I put the pad down & walked away, I returned to the pad & cried some more before walking away again in tears. I knew what decision I'd end up making but struggled to bring myself to press the button & grant Chloe's request but it took over an hour of agonizing & crying to press that button. That first playthrough I saved Chloe, after going through that I couldn't bring myself to end her life again.
They should make another life is strange have a storyline with what happens with Max and Chloe, I know they make comics. At least like a 2 episode DLC or something
Honestly, I'd sacrifice Chloe at the end of LiS. I just don't like her too much and I think that she isn't that great of a friend either. Nor of a person
When you are escorting a kid with force power's I'd say to try to stay of his good side. That being said never played the game so ihave ni idea what choices the game had you make

First Mass Effect saving or destroying the Rachni queen. Genuinely made me think about what I should do and what the potential represcussions would be.
I'd personally say that curing the genophage was the tougher choice. Powerful, warmongering species tried to overrun the galaxy. They were genetically sterilised. Ending the war but resulting in a societal collapse. 1000 years later, the krogan are a dieing, fatalist people and you have a chance to cure their sterilisation. Do you do it and risk another war of conquest or not and let the slow genocide run it's course.
One of the few choices that actually matters short and long term
it's a scenario they more or less directly ripped out of Ender's Game.
@ExarchGaming True, but that's a lot of Mass Effect. (Taking from all corners of science fiction.)
I always saved her.
I honestly believe that Life is Strange 2 is hugely underrated exactly because of how moral system for your brother works.

I thought Tactics Ogre Reborn/Let us Cling Together would make to this list. The decision at the end of the first chapter is a tough one.
I bet it's halfway since most people will play again to watch both endings. How do they distinguish between that?
There is maybe 2 people worth saving over a lover in Arcadia Bay.
No, all the people are terrible
In Ghost of Tsushima I picked the spare ending because it felt wrong to kill him. I think the spare ending was better anyway. I have no honor so why start now? I'm in the majority.
Olgierd v O'Dimm isn't even a choice. You get much better rewards by helping Olgierd.
I find the Olgierd vs O'Dimm choice pretty easy. Olgierd is a dumb fool did some horrible things, yes. But O'Dimm is pure evil. No way I let HIM win. I find the Baron's quest with the Witches much more difficult to decide.
LiS... pure pain. The cut-scenes of "Save Bae" vs "Save Bay" clearly show what was the intended choice. And I don''t agree with the devs at all ;-)
I chose spare in Ghost of Tsushima. It felt right. Embrace that Ghost.
I looooved the Witcher 3 choice.

Fallout. Kill the overseer or be banished forever.
Dark Souls: continue the age of fire, or let it die.
It is incredibly easy to choose to cross the border.
Bioshock, rescue or harvest the little sisters comes to mind.

-Saved Chloe
-Spared Lord Shimura
-Killed the drug dealer
I don't care what anybody says, Bae over Bay every single day....Never have and never will sacrifice Chloe.
I was hoping TWD would be one here. I just wasn't sure what you'd pick. Because the whole game is tough choices! I kill Kenny, he lost it.
I always sacrifice Arcadia Bay
I killed Shimura
I killed the drug dealer
I actually surrendered in Life is Strange 2
I just checked the stats for the ending of Life is Strange 1
48% save Chloe vs 52% sacrifice Chloe
The remastered has it at different percentage last time I checked but it's not loading for me now
On playstation at least
Edit, on the remastered version it's at 56% save Chloe and 44% sacrifice Chloe
The fact that Lisa the painful RPG isn’t on here is a crime, that game is filled with decisions that could be on this list. Indie games deserve love too, not just AAA releases.

I did no way I was separating the brothers after all they have been through
I did and Daniel jumped, which I ultimately was fine with. I couldn't let Sean go to prison after all he'd been through.
Yep. Went through the border.

There were a few things behind the choice. The first thing was that in the play through I imported Kenny and Lee were friends, best friends, and to me that would have influenced Clem. Second was when Kenny is facing down Luke's group he completely disarms himself on seeing Clem, even kneeling down to look at her. Let's skip ahead or I'll be typing all day. Even after arguing with Jane in the car, when they crash the first thing he does is ask if she is okay, not AJ or Clem he wanted to know Jane was okay.
Kenny was broken and the worst thing was that he knew that but he kept on trying. I genuinely shed a tear when he was begging Clem to leave him at the end of season 2. I went with him because in the end he would die to protect his family, and in a New Frontier that's exactly what he did.
That choice between Chloe and the Bay was such a painful one. I grew to love Chloe's character through out the game and undoing all of it to let her die at the beginning... I normally go with the morally obvious choice of sacrificing the one to save the many, but I wanted to see what exactly would happen if you save her instead. Essentially, the two of you survive for the time being, but the game suggests that the danger is far from over. Then I played again and picked the right choice and it was definitely the most satisfying of the two endings. It was depressing and painful as hell, but it was the most impactful. God... I've gotta play this game again.
I still play them. Those games have a special place in my heart.
Bay over Bae is still my hardest choice in gaming years later
Sacrifice Chloe ending in Life is Strange hits hard but it much more fleshed out and makes for much more fulfilling story, it all comes full circle in the end
If you don't shoot Kenny you find out Kenny actually knew he wasn't stable and decides to leave Clem and A.J with a settlement and he even goes far to talk to Clem letting her know he isn't right in the head and shouldn't be around both children. And so he leaves Clem and A.J to the settlement saying they will take better care of them both theb he can.
Yeah the aftermath of the choice makes it clear which one was the right one. At least in terms of Kenny/Jane if not go alone/stay together.
I felt no connection to Jane throughout the story, her plan to leave a baby by itself to prove that Kenny is crazy is beyond insane, and she kills herself anyway when she finds out she is pregnant. Kenny may have been much more aggressive towards the end of the game, but never towards Clem (and who wouldn't lose their mind with all the stuff Kenny's been through). Really don't understand why picking Jane over Kenny was so popular .
You don't have to go with the settlement option. I choose to stay with Kenny.
I just realized something. Life is Strange has you saving someone with time travel powers, right? Saving that one person dooms the rest of the town. The Flash movie has Flash...saving one person but finding out it dooms the rest of the planet. I wonder if the movie's writer played Life is Strange.
Nah, Flashpoint was a 2011 comic storyline. Life is Strange was in 2015.
The *BLOOD BROTHERS Ending of Life Is Strange 2 IS FUCKING BADASS!* Just for that particular Ending alone made me like Life Is Strange 2 a LOT
Mass Effect 3:
Kill Mordin so the cure for Krogans dont procure or let him fix it so Krogan can reproduce again but loose the backing of elite Salarian guys....
that one hurted no matter what you choose....
Altogether Mass Effect as a franchise had a loooooooooooooot of great moral choises.....
#9's choice is actually an easy one if you're a Star Trek fan. "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one." a.k.a. sacrifice Chloe.
Life is Strange: Bae. ; Heavy Rain: Kill the dealer. ; Haven't played any of the other games mentioned.
What about the targets in the dishonored games? How did people feel about those?
Oh the difficult decision in what order to use my torture tools!
For LiS 2 I picked choices I would do, and ended up with low morality and the blood brothers ending. I saved Chloe in the first game though, as I liked her

Great games!
Daniel surrender from life is strange 2 the peaceful ending in Detroit becomes human
In life is strange 2 i chose to cross the border and both sean and Daniel made it to Mexico and stayed together
To be fair, the only one of these choices I had to make was the number 10 spot, and really it wasn't that tough. After so much of the game was spent spending time with Chloe, and getting to know her... I couldn't hit the 'Sacrifice Chloe' button fast enough.
Lol!! Had us in the first half. I've not played the game but watched a walkthrough and I fully agree. If I heard "hella" one more time, I was going to lose it. Let her annoying, always the victim ass die and save the rest of the town.
Yeah, she is definitely acquired taste to put it gently 😁 I soured on her when she gave Max crap about answering a phone call from a suicidal girl instead of catering to her whims, I mean how self centered can a person be?
@@milankostic2571 She couldn't known Kate was suicidal? She even apologised later. Honestly, Max was worse here. She knew part of what happened to Kate, she saw her room and she didn't call anybody? I would at least told some friend to watch over her. Or took her with me on the "detective adventure". Chloe would be mad at first but understood why later.
There was one that I encountered today as I played Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. When you are going to get the watchmaker’s daughter Alex contacts you that you need to get to the bank. You have the choice of either saving Allison and hopefully getting more intel on who the terrorist are or go to the bank and get intel on who the major players are that have being working in the shadows throughout the game. It’s a tough decision which I chose to go save Allison as a person’s life is more important than information on a shadow organization. Either way you continue the game but it’s one of those tough choices you have to make in a game
I'm surprised the Kill Ashley/Shoot yourself choice from Until Dawn from the intro wasn't in the list. If you don't find the totem related to this it's a hell of a choice.
My choices in the games listed that i have played...
Ghost Tsushima: I spared Lord Shimura; because i loved his character and the look of pride and respect in Jin he shows by becoming his own man to forge his own destiny, (and i personally believe that Jin and Shimura meet in secret thus maintaining their family bonds)
Detroit Become Human: I always choose pacifism whenever i replay it, I'm personally opposed to responding to violence with more violence.
Heavy Rain: I spare the dealer in the playthrough i did to pop the platinum trophy, any player can figure out the destination with at least 3/4 Clues so killing the father/dealer is not mandatory.
Walking Dead S2: Always pick Kenny because Jane is awful and selfish.
Sparing Shimura is honestly the only choice I ever make, Ghost of Tsushima's entire narrative message is to show how flawed the Samurai Bushido can be, as Jin becoming the ghost saved Tsushima, sparing Shimura let's him see things from Jin's viewpoint and hopefully let's him accept, if not emphasize with Jin.
Pretty much all choices like these have their roots in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan... the theory is possibly older then this, but, chances are this is where it all started for the majority of people knowing and thinking about it.
Do you choose the needs of the many (head/logic), or do you choose the needs of the few, or the one (heart/humanity)?
This is completely random but am I the only one that is stack with the way she pronaunces Sean, deranged killer, Silva and drug dealer starting at 6:31? I love the way she speaks....👌
I absolutely hated the ending of Ghost of Tsushima. Neither was the right choice. Jin needed to die to reclaim his soul. The only right choice was to allow Shimura to kill him but that wouldn't allow for sequels so the devs abandoned the samurai drama just when it became most important.
For me the hardest choice in LIS was the Bladerunner scene.
I'd had a conversation about end of life choices with my mum only weeks earlier where she'd asked that as the most trustworthy offspring to support her in ending things if her health deteriorated too much or if she became incapable of taking this step. She valued quality of life over quantity.
Being hit with this in game choice so soon after that conversation made it the hardest game choice I'd ever faced.
I cried, I put the pad down & walked away, I returned to the pad & cried some more before walking away again in tears.
I knew what decision I'd end up making but struggled to bring myself to press the button & grant Chloe's request but it took over an hour of agonizing & crying to press that button.
That first playthrough I saved Chloe, after going through that I couldn't bring myself to end her life again.
They should make another life is strange have a storyline with what happens with Max and Chloe, I know they make comics. At least like a 2 episode DLC or something
I see they still have no idea how to do a list of spoilers w/o decent warnings on the games first
Honestly, I'd sacrifice Chloe at the end of LiS. I just don't like her too much and I think that she isn't that great of a friend either. Nor of a person
When you are escorting a kid with force power's I'd say to try to stay of his good side. That being said never played the game so ihave ni idea what choices the game had you make
What about the choice for people that know androids aren't human. And have no humanity.
dragon age series and mostly remember the torn of sparing or killing Anders at the end of dragon age 2
Chloe just kept on making bad choices. She had to go in my eyes or she would take herself out later.
In fable 3 you had the choice to rescue your childhood waifu, safe a family or do nothing and let them all be killed.
Life is strange 2 is just unfair….
If any of you killed Kenny of Jane... shame on you.
Beyond two souls, endgame choice. Got me in tears for sure
I hated chloe, she annoyed me to no end so it was super fun to finally kill her
Killing someone to save your son isn't even a question.
O’Dimm is just pure evil, he’s gotta go.
Shot the dealer without hesitation
Starfield. IYKYK.
I killed Jin’s uncle
Fallout 3 Nuke bomb
Mass Effect??
