Morality in gaming, is it needed?

Morality has become the gaming theme of this generation. Black, and White, Good vs. Evil with some choices doing nothing to impact the long term plot. Gamers have experienced morality in games such as Fallout 3, Mass Effect, GTA IV, Bioshock as well as several others. Goozernation takes a look at the bigger questions and asks is morality really needed? Why do gamers always have to make a choice with consequences?

i like morality choices in games. its gives me replay value, choice, decision and non linearity. its not like its needed in every single game but i enjoy games with a morality system in place. for me its not necessarily about being good or bad in the game but making choices with different outcomes and open ended decisions. it also gives me replay value, going through taking different routes and scenarios.

i can definitely see how someone would want a more linear, straight forward story though. i would imagine some gamers dont want to go back replaying a 30+ hour game just to make a different choice. like i said, i enjoy going back and doing 2 full playthroughs for both or multiple choices so i welcome the system.

JimmyJames705160d ago

Well said. I completely agree.

awiseman5160d ago

It makes the game more fun....Fallout 3 is a textbook example.

NukaCola5160d ago

Agree. i really like New Vegas. The morality system in that game isn't black and white. Factions have different views and the choices you make with them all differ. I don't want just a right or wrong answer, I love it when it's hard to make the right dicisions because of so many factors of the outcomes.

Sharingan_no_Kakashi5160d ago

It's a nice little touch but it's never handled realistically. Making the good or bad choice is always so obvious. Wish there was a game that blurred the line a little.

kube005160d ago

What about games where morality is present but doesn't matter that much, say Bioshock?

Sam Fisher5160d ago

o god yes, imo bioshock was poorly implemented with the whole moral thing

Game0N5160d ago

i prefer the subtlety of bioshock when it comes to morality, it's controlled but you still feel like you've made the decisions yourself.

Give us FO3 with all the dlc remastered like ESO. Load times faster, quality of life improvements, gun play improvements

I believe it shouldn't just be graphical they should make improvements where they can to make the game better. A simple face lift isn't what's needed

ZeekQuattro54d ago

Still my favorite one. I remember getting a digital copy of FO3 when I got FO4(XBO). It was nice to finally play a stable version of the game. Then when I got a Series S it was an even better expierence. Quick resume and FPS boost made it feel like a whole new game. Updated gunplay would be very welcome though. One of the few things FO4 did better.

New Vegas and Morrowind should have been first!

Christopher62d ago

Fairly certain we all know that New Vegas isn't getting anything because it's not a Bethesda developed game.

OMGitzThatGuy62d ago

MS owns both devs, if they want it, a 3rd party will make it.

Christopher62d ago

***MS owns both devs, if they want it, a 3rd party will make it. ***

I think the issue is that it's not a Bethesda developed game, not that MS owns both. This is more about Todd.

RaidenBlack61d ago (Edited 61d ago )

Yep ... Todd doesn't like getting bettered within his own IP scope.
I still think of the Elder Scrolls spin-off Obsidian pitched similar to New Vegas, but Todd rejected.

RaidenBlack61d ago (Edited 61d ago )

Replayed NV more than FO3 ... so I appreciate the FO3 remaster more.
For NV, I'd much prefer a sequel or a spinoff from Obsidian.

FTLmaster62d ago

Got a soft spot for Fallout 3, so I'd be down to play this.

-Foxtrot62d ago

It's crazy New Vegas wasn't worked on first to launch alongside Fallout Season 2.

They could have added all the cut content they had planned but didn't have enough development time to add, possibly even expand on it a little more. For example, have the Vegas strip as one big hub over being chopped into smaller sections we have to keep loading into.

neutralgamer199262d ago

Would love a complete remake or sequel with enough resources

Abnor_Mal62d ago

The only Fallout game I’ve played, PS3 had to keep stopping every few minutes to save. Next thing I knew the credits were rolling and I never did any side quest. I never replayed the game because of all the bugs the game had.

Yui_Suzumiya61d ago (Edited 61d ago )

I've played Fallout 3 more than any game. I lost count many years ago of how many times I finished it. It was my first Platinum trophy. But yeah, it was buggy on PS3 at launch before it got properly patched.

anast62d ago

They are only remaking their games that have been streamlined.

Bro missing companions: Legion, Grunt, Samara/Morinth, Javik, EDI

anast190d ago

Legion, Zaeed, and Jack are my favorites.

RiseNShine190d ago

To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.

anast190d ago

They lost too much talent.

IAMRealHooman190d ago

some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier

anast190d ago

Liam lol I can't stand that dude.

IAMRealHooman189d ago
