Please name a game where your choices make a difference in the end.


Is this sarcasm or do you want me to list some games where choices matter?

haha, yur funneh

There's no other way for creators to make an experience where the player/audience chooses the actions of the main character(s). So it had to be a game.

Yeah I know such a great mechanic too bad in the end the things you did, didn't matter at all.

So it is a bad mechanic. Glad you agree.


What I am saying, is that there are no games where your choices make a difference in the ending, rather, your choices change the way other characters view you, or treat you.

this game (which is based on comics) is meant to be a story experience. Not gameplay experience.


Exactly why it shouldn't have won Game of the Year

I'm sure there are games with that out there. But regardless, I think we all saw the end coming. It wasn't about the end though, it was about the journey. I felt different emotions than somebody else who played the same game as me based on the decisions we made/didn't make.

Is this sarcasm or do you want me to list some games were choices matter?

Still, the point is, it's a fun game to play, and like the guy above me posted, about the feels...this game is all about them.

The Song Of Nephilim

Xenoblade <3

I got episode 1 for free on IOS. I played a bit of it. Great story, but I cannot see how a point and click gets GOTY.

I've always said that a great game has to have three out of four things. If it does two or three of these things very well than you can overlook the other areas.

Great story
Great environment/setting/exploration
Great gameplay
Great execution (voice acting, fixed bugs, the polished/finished feel)

I felt that The Walking Dead game had an amazing story, amazing setting, and amazing execution. The gameplay was very simple and minimal, but I honestly wouldn't change a thing about it. The easy puzzles and abrupt, jarring action sequences helped define this game to me. But if this same gameplay was thrown into a generic military or scifi space marine story it would've been garbage.

The story was fantastic IMO, I got the same feeling I did when I read the comics and watch the show.

The setting was awesome just because I already loved it from said sources.

The execution was done right as well, I thought the voice acting was top notch and I never had a single bug in the however many hours I played it.

I still don't know if it's my GOTY because I haven't played XCOM, Dishonored, Borderlands 2, or Far Cry 3.

Storywise, I would rank it at the top of the current generation above even Portal 2.

I thought so? That moment when you're in the middle of the test and then all of the sudden Wheatley tears down the wall and you escape was flabbergasting to me. Maybe I'm just easily impressed.

I'm not saying it isn't, it was a legitimate question. I haven't completed it yet.

My taste in videogame story confuses me. My favorite game franchises are Elder Scrolls and Assassin's Creed, and I can acknowledge that Oblivion, Skyrim, and every AC game other than 2 has ass for story.

I like to play Reach for fun. I hate MLG, campers, armor lock, and team killers because they ruin that fun. Deal with it.

I loved it. It definitely deserved game of the year.

  • 12.28.2012 11:05 PM PDT

It didn't play much like a game, more like an interactive movie. So I don't think it deserved GOTY, but story of the year? Absolutely.

Every penny well spent.
