Choice in Games: The Common Issues and Untapped Potential

Hardcore Gamer: Some games have tried unique things with choice, but the true potential of narrative decision making hasn't even come close to being met. Games need to ditch the concept of scoring you based on your good or evil choices and embrace the gray.

This is exactly why David Cage makes the best games in the business, because you actually have a CHOICE in what happens and don't have to aimlessly wander around like in Dark Souls.

David Cage games are the epitome of the illusion of choice. Especially his latest poor excuse for an interactive tale. If a game is gonna have choice, the pre-requisite should be that it's WELL WRITTEN. And we all know that David Cage is a laughing stock when it comes to storytelling principles and writing characters. Hell the identity of the origami killer in Heavy Rain is the result of the game blatantly lying to the player about what is happening on screen, and the twist never changes or alters despite the player choices.

As an old school JRPG fan I hate choice in my games that's why I don't play western RPGs other than "ARPGs-Dungeon Crawlers-Hack n Slash-Diablo clones" I prefer to play games with EPIC stories like FFVII, Xenogears & Suikoden II than boring games like Elder Scrolls with annoying NPCs that ask you all the time about every little thing & then u embark on a journey on never ending maps that make u forget the purpose of your journey & let u wander endlessly, what boring games seriously...

ValKilmer3693d ago

But even Final Fantasy games have you make choices sometimes, don't they?

Spikeantestor3693d ago

There are a million choices in "classic" RPGs like FFVII, just not narrative choices.

DCfan3693d ago

Not to mention never ending glitches and boring gritty environment.

100%, locked 60fps and still look great all these years later, same with the expansion, definitely worth a look if people haven't played it yet, not the best games ever made but a good experience, hopefully a new infamous gets released

KwietStorm_BLM102d ago

Never was my favorite infamous, but it was definitely a graphics showcase early on PS4. Still plays well with the unlocked frame rate.

SDuck102d ago

Still remember getting hyped about this game nearing release. Funny because I never even got a PS4. Jumped from PS3 to PC so I never played it ahahaha

OmegaSoldati102d ago

Its a good game. But thats it. Congratulations you made the best choice. I dream to have a great PC one day.

Profchaos102d ago (Edited 102d ago )

Graphically It's a absolutely stunning game that still holds up today.

Didn't have all that much depth to it forcing you to play though twice for a platinum trophy a good and bad run it was a little disappointing how similar those were Delsin would be like I'm not doing that for you in a cutscene but the cutscene would play out and force you to do it anyway just as you would of in a good run

I did like the story however it got a lot of complaints back in the day people hated playing as Delsin instead of cole despite Coles story being wrapped up.

Overall though the map wasn't overly saturated with useless points of interest there was some collectibles and things to find but nothing compared to a Ubisoft game.

I think it was a good game if a little hollow I've played it through around 4 times now since it's so short.

Also it's DLC was great a full story expansion

I've played 15, and I wouldn't consider any of those underrated TBH. Some of them are pretty high rated.

banger88134d ago

That's amazing, Gamingbolt actually put all 15 games on the same page.

shinoff2183132d ago

I. Not seeing anything on that list underrated. I never played concrete genie, the ASTRO vr,and one other but I forgot the name already. Nothing on there was underrated at all imo.

persona4chie132d ago

There’s only 4 of those games I never played, and no most of those aren’t underrated.
