>>1088395 >feed hungry Full stomachs mean more niggers. Only niggers can't feed themselves. >cure cancer Sure i guess, but it'll cause the same effects as the introduction of modern medicine but at a smaller scale

I thought having superpowers would be awesome, but it got old fast and made most of the gameplay outside of missions felt pointless. Reusing the city from 3 was bad enough, but not even including a day/night cycle? That felt super lazy. Honestly, finishing the game was kind of a slog. I would cure cancer. Like anon said >>1088399 Giving more free shit to niggers would only mean more niggers.

>>1088395 oooh, Saints Row thread, nice. eh, I dunno man, since it has no repercussions, like the choices in 3 I'm sure this was a gag too, one that pseudo intellectuals tried to exploit to sound smart by discussing it out loud >also >>1088410 yeah, they pretty much made useless walking and driving, although they could have made a decent Justice League game in my opinion

>>1088395 It's so funny how this has become one of the most famous moral choices in gaming. It has literally no effect in-game whatsoever, Earth gets blown up a few minutes after this. For me it's obvious: cure cancer. Hunger is largely a logistical and political issue, the places with the worst food insecurity are often unstable and wartorn. Cancer, however, is not something you can get rid of by improving supply chains or aid. There are hundreds of kinds of cancers and some are extremely lethal, it would take mankind centuries to "cure" all of them. >>1088424 >Saints Row thread Personal ranking? SR 2 > SR 4 > SR 1 > SR3. The biggest problem with 4 is that it's an SR game at all.

Speaking of Saints Row, I can't believe they managed to make a reboot this outreageous it killed the studio on the spot (though the Embracer fuckup also played a role in it). Everyone was talking about how terrible the AI, the gunplay, and everything was, but for some reason they even managed to have a buggy character creator.

>>1088429 They also had this unfinished piece of shit under their belt.

>>1088429 Let's be real here, Volition were on their way out. Gat Out of Hell and Agents of Mayhem were both flops, SR2022 was their third dud in a row. They made big budget failures for ten straight years, it's tough but I don't blame Embracer one bit for that decision. I can blame Embracer for a lot of other dumb shit they did, but not that.

>>1088399 If you can cure cancer you can use a much wider array of radioactive batteries. If you feed the hungry it doesn't cure hunger for deep space exploration.

>>1088448 >If you can cure cancer you can use a much wider array of radioactive batteries Cancer is different from radiation sickness, curing cancer wouldn't stop you from basically melting from the inside if exposed to enough radiation.

>>1088463 I mean yeah it's like if your blood was boiling from microwaves. Still means we don't have to worry about passive radiation making astronauts come down after like 2 decades.

>>1088436 >Gat Out of Hel That did well, Agents of Mayhem was a complete flop though.

>>1088395 One of the most talked about moral choices has to be whether the Dovahkiin should kill Paarthrunax or not. However, most discussion among players ends up being about how anyone could choose to kill Paarthrunax after he helped so much, instead of the pros and cons of each option. So, this moral choice ends up being a prime example of how strange and badly written the lore/plot of Skyrim is, instead of being a predicament that really divides players like it was probably intended to be. Why are the Blades thinking so irrationally? Have they not heard of people changing sides during war? And most importantly, why do the Blades suddenly think they can order around the Dovahkiin, their leader, like he's some greenhorn cadet, saying they refuse to fight by his side until he does what they say? There should be an option for the Dovahkiin to command them to stand down, but there is none. There should be an option to kill or dismiss the two Blades for insubordination, but there isn't one, and on top of that they are both immortal essential NPCs. At the same time, nothing happens if you ignore their command to kill the dragon, so the player is left confused, annoyed, and this part of the story just ends without satisfaction or fanfare. You can't do anything with the Blades, and you can't really do anything with Paarthrunax either.

>>1088395 Cure cancer. I've seen cancer and it's horrible. Hunger is mostly a logistical problem when it's wide scale and poor personal choice on the individual scale. At least in the modern day. Exceptions do occur of course, but functionally hunger is already solved. >I cannot think of a moral choice that was more talked about. I've seen mostly reddit tards argue for the Frenzy Flame ending as being the moral choice.

>>1088610 Illusion of free choice, tht's all Bethesda games are.

>>1088663 Telltale games was built on and destroyed by that illusion of choice.

>curing cancer Typical western approach to medicine. Find out what causes cancer and then prevent cancer. >feeding niggers No thanks. Even if you take niggers out of the equation, solving a problem by treating the symptoms instead of solving the underlying issue is just pushing said problem down the future. In short, both choices are retarded. Do neither.

>>1088610 FINALLY! Someone actually gave me an answer. Although I am still not sure if that one is more talked about than the example in the op. As you said, most are just baffled as to why you would ever choose to kill paarthurnax.

>>1088610 Paathurnax should die, there is no other way, he borm in some way, going against his Nature it's puré torture

>>1088796 Man goes against his nature everyday. Do you consider modern life torture?

>>1088797 Yes

>>1088610 Bethesda didn't even learn their lesson going by the Brotherhood kill railroad quest in Fallout 4 (which player's are supposed to be forced to do but Bethesda is so incompetent you can just not talk to the NPC who gives it and complete the main quest anyways). You're only ever given a vague "they may be dangerous in the future!" reason for it, even though the Railroad is completely directionless beyond "fight Institute, free synths". Demanding you destroy co-belligerents before the final battle with the Institute is just an attempt to disguise how the non-Institute factions barely even actually have a reason to be separate factions by forcing conflict, which fails badly and just highlights how pointless F4's factions are.

>>1088399 This, it's a easy choice tbh

>>1088395 Not this one?

>>1088395 Are you sure about that? Pretty sure the moral choices of ME3s ending was talked about a lot more even if it was about how trashy they were

>>1088663 You mean since Skyrim. In Oblivion, there are 251 quests where your choices matter. In Skyrim the only choices you can really make is whether you want to complete the quests or not with minor exceptions that don't actually impact much like the civil war

>>1088810 >even though the Railroad is completely directionless beyond "fight Institute, free synths" Aren't most synths just basically toasters anyway?

>>1096930 >In Oblivion, there are 251 quests where your choices matter lol lmao even

>>1088424 is this porn, please be porn

Save the town or her It was pretty obvious to me but it seems like theres a lot of talk about it

>>1096875 This. Op is dumb

>>1147741 The town because I hate her, I don't even care about the town, it's still ggez >>1096868 That's what it boils down to

>>1147741 Saving her is meaningless. The entire story shows, over and over again, that she would get herself killed in other ways, either way. Too bad the sequel is such a shit game. In their place, I'd outright reveal, for those who chose the "save Chloe" ending, that she still got killed in some random mugging a couple of years later.

fuck cancer everytime. Many good people die because of it.

>>1088395 I pick feed the hungry cause all it does is give everyone a burger ONCE. I dont mind that. what? cancer? whats that? fix it yourself lmao.

>>1088424 I like 3 a lot, the mini games and the story were top notch. but 4's gameplay was just more fun. I liked the car system more in it and dicking about was more fun with super powers. also the coop experience was chef's kiss. I have at least 400 hours on it back in the day playing with my friend. also very surprising that the linux port for such a complicated game still works fine to this day. most people who did not like 4 were filtered by the flanders intro. I remember being made fun of for the pancakes qte. guess alpha jake felt emasculated having to do that. oh also being able to sex anyone beat having your own hideout in 3, I never went there in 3 but I always went to the spaceship in 4, to have sex.

>>1088435 I liked the characters but god the gameplay was ass couldnt last more than 3 missions

>>1088610 the thing with blades is that they are a genocide order not a war battalion. they don't care their target of genocide repented. if you were in any cult, you would know that the cult leader gets replaced immediately if they do not play their role. after all the true cult leader is the idea that his followers have of him, not he himself.

>>1088796 at the end of the sovengarde quest, we saw akatosh absorb alduin's soul. I think he wants to absorb back all the dragons to become time unity again. so dragonborn and parthurnax and the dragons that sided with him are all screwed anyway. maybe not the dragonborn but how long can a measly nord leave anyway. speaking of this. parthurnax's level is 10 in the game. do you think he gave most of his soul back to akatosh? this could explain losing the part of himself that drove him to war. actually let me post this on the elder scrolls thread and get a discussion going.

>>1191272 this one's about to die and the last posts are schizophrenic. I will post in next thread

>>1090552 go with pink and punch a dude in the dick if you're a girl go with blue and punch a dude in the face if you're a dude

>>1088395 It's not necessarily a choice, but I remember people would get in a tissy over the entirety of Spec Ops the Line.

>>1088395 >Know lots of cool people who died due to cancer >Don't know any cool people who died due to hunger

>>1088610 A lot of Bethesda's 'moral choices' just come down to whether or not you want to be an asshole for no reason. Remember Megaton? They're Bioshock-tier moral choices. >>1191320 Yeah, a lot of the discussion around Spec Ops comes down to 'how can the game shame me for a choice it forced me to make,' but I feel like that's disingenuously ignoring the fact that unless you have prior knowledge of what's going to happen, you have no reason, in and out of story, to do anything else. (Although the dev coming out with that retarded argument of 'well, you have the CHOICE to stop playing' certainly didn't help.) The fact is, unless you've played the game before, you have no reason not to use the phosphorus on what you think are solely enemy soldiers. The same soldiers that you've been killing for the last few hours. It's an argument based on metagaming. And this is ignoring that the game does, repeatedly, let you take the pacifist or the violent option. Dispersing the crowd, for example. Or the civilian executions. Now if only THOSE actually mattered.

>>1191554 I always thought the argument was silly because I want to see how the story unfolds in the game I paid for. There was no way to progress without using the phosphorus. If a character commits murder in a book, am I morally responsible for it by turning the page? I could have just stopped reading. It's a stupid argument.

>>1191624 the arguement was against people who killed imaginary people not against people who killed real people or people who were watching a story unfold

>>1192005 Sure, makes sense. However, how is it different in a video game than a book or movie? Just because I pressed a button? Am I responsible for all the people Rambo killed because I kept watching? Or all the people Professor Moriarity killed because I kept reading? At the end of the day it's all fictional and trying to tell a story. Plus the game does not paint those actions in a positive light in Spec Ops there are consequences for those actions that the story says is clearly bad. I don't have to insert myself to understand that concept.

>>1192446 No you see you're a bad person because you enjoy games in which you kill fictional people.

>>1088610 I recently beat Skyrim's main quest for the first time, and never got the option to kill Paarthurnax. and even then, bro was a cool geezer. I wasn't gonna do my boy like that

my favorite moral choice in vidya is the first route branch in tactics ogre. apparently a bunch of people got confused and thought they were on the other route because it was order vs chaos instead of good vs evil.

>>1197640 Also the fact that Vyce either goes full Jonkler mode or a decent person based entirely on whether or not YOU want to be a hero or go full "Just following orders" which some people can find fucky.

Hifumi is only sexy when she wears her paperbag

>>1088395 we already have the means to end world hunger, we just systematically don't do it because profits cure cancer is no brainer, curing hunger could be done by a single billionaire having a altruistic streak

>>1307290 As said earlier in the thread, most hunger is really a political issue. The worst famine happening at the moment is in Ethiopia, as a direct result of the Tigray War. If you look at active famines, all but one (Haiti) are the result of war. Bill Gates isn't going to be able to solve that. Regardless cancer is obviously the right choice.

>>1088770 >Find out what causes cancer and then prevent cancer. We know what causes cancer, and we know what cancer is. It would be child's play to develop something that just suppresses the unchecked cell division, but as always there's no money to be made in curing something.

Cure Cancer is the onbious choice, one of the wors illness to get, means more healty people, measn one less problem that is a money sink One less thing to worry about for poor people, more healthy people means better economy, And even then I would argue it would be much better to get rid of HIV or maybe even Diabethes

there's a easy way to avoid HIV, just don't have sex or get stabbed by a degenerates needle for diabetes (type 2) just don't eat like a pig, non-issues compared to shit like cancer that you can't really predict even where it came from

>>1088395 I've never even heard about this before seeing this thread. I think Stormcloaks vs Imperials is the most discussed moral choice in a game. Also the correct answers are curing cancer and siding with stormcloaks.

>>1503047 why do you keep bumping old threads

>>1088395 End hunger by feeding people cancer

>>1307342 I'd say that ending hunger stabilizes civilizations even more. Of course ending hunger is one thing, but feeding everyone with healthy diets that allow them to grow well, without emotional or mental or ameriladfat drawbacks is even more important.
