Games with the most difficult choices

Today is a good time to remember difficult choices in gaming, which reflect the reality especially brightly. In the sense that everything is corruptible, and your fateful decisions do not really affect anything. Hard Mode: without Telltale games.

CAUTION, HOPE SPOILERS!

Trilogy Mass Effect in   Mass Effect 3

Even leaving Telltale behind the scenes – the final of Mass Effect 3 in any such list is simply obliged, and therefore there is no point in portraying an intrigue, it is better to roll out the obvious at once.

Here’s what he said about the outcome of mass effect 3 ending, creative director of the trilogy:

The story line on this game ends, and this means that the endings can be completely different. They are not even the same as usual in games, when you can tell directly if you got the ending A, B or C … In the end there is much more depth and variety.

This is how all decisions made by the player ended:

LIFE IS STRANGE GAME 

Throughout the game you take for the main character of the decision and determine many of her actions.

You already begin to feel that you understand it, but as soon as the matter approaches the denouement, it takes and refutes it, devalues ​​everything that you have decided for it.

“The most precious thing for me is a friend,” she says. After that, the game seems to say “and prove” and finishes the final choice between a friend and everyone else. By this point, it is quite obvious that the game has already made its choice – without your participation.

DEUS EX: HUMAN REVOLUTION

Many scold the Human Revolution for “masseffektovskuyu” giving the choice of the ending, for the ill-fated three buttons.

However, she, as well as the very first part of the series, had a more important problem: the presence of the canonical sequel.

You think that you decide the fate of the world, and then it turns out that it has already been solved for you.

VAMPIRE  THE MASQUERADE BLOODLINES

Given that Jeanette is flaunting on the cover of Bloodlines, it would be reasonable to expect that, at least in the case of her, the player’s choice will affect something.

But no – choose neonate Therese or Jeanette or even both – Mrs. Voerman will remain behind the scenes until the end of the narrative. How insulting.

UNTIL DAWN GAME

Whether it’s the melodramas of David Cage or a little more decent Until Dawn , the developers – even when they claim that any of the characters can die – actually mean that he can die when they are allowed.

Until then, he will have a “story armor” – so if you choose to fail QTE, you’ll see the funniest scenes in which the hero will slip on the pasta from his pocket, then catch a bullet shot after the shot, but still at the end of the action -Episode will be safe and sound.

And even if he dies, it will not be counted as your narrative choice, but as a game over, and you will have to replay the segment, helping him not to go to the next world.

ZERO ESCAPE VIRTUE’S LAST REWARD

Stolen by a mysterious game-master people are forced to play a game of survival, voting for cooperation or betrayal of each other.

Mutual cooperation in a pair brings both to victory, the betrayal of one gives him a bigger win, but his partner loses points and dies if their number reaches zero.

At first it seems that this is a game about the dilemma of a prisoner, but in fact it turns out that it is about branching timelines, and you can get a true ending only after having tested all possible variants of the development of events. And this means that each specific choice does not matter.
