What's The Point In Being A Nice Guy In Games???

[bogey_j]

when i'm given the choice, I always pick the azzhole option I swear playing as renegade shep in the mass effect trilogy was one of the funniest things in game history (punching that reporter breh throwing nikkas out windows and shyt, gotdayum killing my homie wrex...had to pour some liquor out for him)


ditto walking dead, life is strange, game of thrones, witcher etc. that's why its weird to me when you look at the global stats and and most people pick the nicest, most accomodating options how boring and predictable is that?

i'm gonna be a dikk in until dawn as well when I pick that up

Most people wanna be a hero.

Only exception for me in my entire gaming experience was KotoR. No way in hell was I not going to be a Sith in that shyt.

I just feel like an a$$hole when I do some foul morally questionable stuff in games.



I can't help it

isn't it boring tho to always be good?

I mean, not really because not every game gives you the choice between being good/bad or lethal/non-lethal.

I have enough digital blood on my hands throughout these years of gaming.

I used to play the straight laced hero when i got the chance but now i enjoy being an a$$hole, although there are somethings i couldnt do...

I aint killing wrex ever, but I lit Grunt bytch ass up when he ran up on me

@ the unbolded. Real shyt.

Yeah, I also typically try to be the heroic or morally sound route. Most games aren't too ambiguous with their choices anyway. But in Witcher 3, it does have a very fine balance of morally grey areas at times. I tend to to pick the lesser evils then too, but sometimes you simple don't know how harsh your actions may lead down the road, even so much as way later in the game. Also, while I do try to be the good guy the game primarily, the true dikks and a$$holes of the game, I'll choice to screw them over or kill them if given the opportunity (for example, Whoreson Junior got what was coming to him). Even when being good tho, I do still make sure I get my just due in payments tho. (cept for in Ciri's case, that's daddy's girl)

There are some moments in some games tho where I just had to do an a$$hole choice every now and then tho, like punching the shyt outta that foolish dancing wigger in Dues Ex Machina. He may not have been an a$$hole, but he was a douche, so... So hilarious that he never ever gets back up at any point in the game too.















I do tend to kill more often that sedate in Metal Gear tho.

my dude, it hurt me when I had to kill wrex he was ride or die but it was the most emotional scene in mass effect for me so I'm glad I did it

grunt tho, fake ass wrex

I pick the options that I'd pick irl. Assholr options most of the time. In Mass Effect I smashed as many hoes as I could on the Normandy. In Witcher made sure to smash Keira, Yennefer, Jutta, and Sasha. Yen gets pissed if you smash her friend.

It's easier to kill them, but in all MGS games you get bonus points for not killing

Yeah, I know. But stealth games are the one game that I really rather kill than not kill, lol. I wanna be a lethal assassin, not some baby ass spy. I was the same way in Mark of the Ninja, as in I literally would not finish a stage without killing every possible person on the level (shyt, my kill points for all them bodies severely outweighed the non-lethal bonus anyway).

I wish these games would also give you a 'Kill Everything' bonus. At least reward both styles of play in some manner. I'd also be cool with some bonus story progressions/deviations/quirks for choosing either rather. MGS does have the latter a bit tho. In MGS4, if you went ham with the killing often (which, I ironically initially was trying to not be a killer, but then turned full John Rambo), Liquid Snake's voice came up randomly in my head saying, "You ENJOY all the killing *echoes "killing" repeatedly*" and Snake loses his lunch on the spot. Also, in MGS3, the more people you kill before you reach that Ghost dude boss, the more bodies show up in his death river for you to have to avoid. Man....it was so many damn bodies in my river, you'd think I killed the whole gotdamn military. I was thinking, "How did this lil militia even have THESE MANY SOLDIERS for me to body"

I play by my own morality first (mostly paragon with some renegade decisions)

For example, Zaeed's loyalty. I rescue the workers from the fire. But for Legion's loyalty mission I just blow up all the heretics because fukk machines

[daze23]

a lot of times being an a$$hole can make the game pretty difficult cause it turns everyone against you

I've play the ME trilogy through twice renegade both times. I always pick the darker option when given the choice.

I was a hero in Witcher 3 for the first time, there was enough suffering in that world already
