The fact that he is a Real God that gives people powers and sees what they do with them is cool and interesting, but having him then go "SO YOU LIKE BLOOD EH" is annoying. MGS V does no such thing. A lot of the time the easiest way to complete a mission is to murder everything in sight with your most powerful weapons. There are major advantages to not doing so but the game does nothing to stop you. Sneaking is fun but sometimes things go to poo poo and you have to deal with it. I always, always, always carry a rocket launcher (until I get anti-materiel rifles) and customized assault rifle with underbarrel grenade launcher for just that reason. It does instantly fail you if you kill child soldiers, though. And there's one enemy base that's annoying and hard as hell to sneak through so I always turn the place into Murderville when the game sends me there. Heavy weapons and either Quiet with her anti-materiel rifle or D-Walker with maxed out heavy weaponry. Artillery strikes. Calling in heavy choppers with maxed out weapons and armor. Supply drops with extra ammo for my heavy weapons. DESTROY DESTROY DESTROY

ImpAtom posted:To be fair with Yakuza it's more like "act like a dick get a bunch of rusty nails literally shoved into your eyes." Thats one of my favourite things about Yakuza 0. The plot makes such a big deal about how killing someone is a big watershed moment and a line that shouldnt be crossed lightly. Meanwhile in the actual gameplay I'm beating a motherfucker with a motorcycle, running someone through with asamurai sword, teeing off on a kneeling opponents head with a baseball bat and powerbombing random drunks straight down on the top of their heads on concrete. Then back to the plot with a main character brooding that he might have to kill someone. Like, it sounds like I'm being sarcastic, but I'm really not. It makes me laugh every time I'm like "well, THAT motherfucker is definitely dead. But you tell yourself whatever you need to get through the day Kiryu and/or Majima"

I messed up the Witcher 3 Blood and Wine ending and tried to re-do it (something I'd normally never do, I usually like to choose one path with no advanced knowledge of the consequences) but then messed it up again somehow. It was my fav story of the whole game too.  rip hot queen lady

The whole point of that series is that by losing the fight they know they were morally wrong.

It was a brawler, for some reason, and Not Tom Cruise insists I DIDN'T KILL ANYONE, while you throw swarms of cops through windows, off buildings, into trains, club them with pipes and bats, etc.

Badass Yakuza freaking out at the sight of a gun in Y0 cutscenes was weird and funny at first, but as it kept happening I kept thinking about it and realized that American culture has totally desensitized me to guns and that their reaction makes plenty of sense.

You can cut a swath of blood across the map but all you are going to get out of it is some BP The best soldiers voluntarily join you as mission rewards and will fill your base regardless, it's actually more like Dishonored in that all your Mother Base soldiers are probably tortured and brainwashed by Ocelot

My favorite example of video game morality is the guy who completed a no-kill run in New Vegas by leaving House languishing in a coffin slowly dying a horrific death of airborne disease...but he didn't shoot him so it still said zero in the stats.

I botched a no kill run of MGS3 once. Ended up with one kill. I can't remember if it was because the game counted a kill from one of the guards I knocked out falling asleep on quicksand or if because vultures ate him.

The final game in the Dishonored series is literally called “Death of the Outsider” and it’s pretty clear that you’re going to do the deathing so I’m not sure that Dishonored thinks you should necessarily agree with this guy or worry about what he thinks of you.

I will give credit to Dishonored for showing you stats at the end of a level and letting you know if someone slipped into a sewer or whatever. Deus Ex HR/MD keeps it a total mystery. I played through MD twice going for ghost and never got the trophy.

I got to meet some Yakuza in 2011 while doing disaster relief in the far northern tip of Japan and they were incredibly cool and nice to me but that's because we were working our asses off to rebuild their city and as much as I appreciated all their money and help (they seriously personally funded rebuilding the city I was posted in) I could never shake the feeling that they were always doing hosed up stuff behind closed doors (that's where their money comes from) so it was just a weird place to be. Always down to rap about tattoos though, especially the old guys, so we talked about that a lot. We split the boathouse with two old heads, one guy had a full body dragon cherry blossom tree from shoulders to ankles and one guy had 3 giant tigers wrapped around and only 9 fingers. They acted very polite and super business-manlike but they dressed EXACTLY the way they dress in video games.
