I love how games that weren't as good as their predecessors automatically suck. Doesn't matter if they're actually good, if they're not as good the game that came before it, it sucks.. Too many people think this way.
....i went through the genocide run only crying on goat mom ( i was sad at the other parts but no tears where shed), that was until i defeated sans and that was when i shed tears. And i regret having done that run and completing it. And i have no idea how to get my soul back, and I'd be afraid of ruining files
open the game again, it should be blank for 10 minutes then you can play again in Pacifist or Nuteral. Also doing that changes some things, go to the mirror in Goatmoms house for a good example of that.
There was an arcade game in the 80's like this. You did all these army missions only to find out at the end you were working for aliens to destroy the earth. Wasted a lot of quarters
Except you're purposefully choosing to be a bad guy in that. This hypothetical game would have you thinking you're doing things right, but you're really fighting for evil without realizing it until it's too late.
there she sat bloody on the mountains slope tears streaming down her face as she watched her home burn "I'm sorry... I thought I was saving you all... not this" she sobbed "please forgive me, I thought I was doing the right thing" she buried her face in her arms wrapped over her knees. "Don't worry, you'll soon be joining them" a cruel voice said from behind before pain spread from her back through her body, the last thing she heard before it went black the wicked laughter of the women she'd trusted to help her
Did you just come up with this on demand!? Or have you been secretly planning for years to break our hearts, rip out our guts, and leave us hanging painfully by our toes!?
BTW that was fairly awesome, even if you did carve out my feels with a spoon...
The iOS (and browser game) "A Dark Room" was exactly this. When I finally realized it, I felt like I'd been hit by a truck. It seriously made me question my actions.
I've tried to find "A Dark Room", but it all leads me to this text based gathering game... It's basically Age of Empires only you have no army and all you do is send villagers out for tasks... I'm assuming this isn't the Dark Room you were talking about? Help me out! Where can I find it?
Actually, it is. If you continue to play, you will be able to go out and explore the world. Pay attention to the details, especially what the Builder says. I'm not entirely sure about the differences between the web and mobile versions though.
Yeah, but you can choose the good way in which you don't kill people, or the murderous way. The difference is that for example the guards are just doing their job, so they're not really bad guys and thus don't deserve to be killed. It's only their superiors who are corrupt, and even those you can get rid of a non-lethal way. So if you kill guards and other common people, you're bad, even though you're aiming towards a noble goal, which is destroying the corrupt government.

"It is unclear whether Tolkien regarded Orcs as evil in their own right or simply as tools of the Dark Lords Morgoth and Sauron, and eventually said that there were Orcs that did live peacefully as merchants and farmers throughout Middle Earth."
Stormtroopers are basically trained from birth, they don't know much else than what they're taught. Besides, you can hardly expect a deep moral question of good and evil within ourselves in Star Wars. And Orcs, even if they weren't meant to be pure evil (for some reason I thought they were, I think they might've said it in one of the games like Shadow of Mordor, maybe?), they were mind controlled by Sauron's magic anyway, weren't they?
The point is, whenever you are presented with two ways, it is in most cases better to choose the more peaceful one. And there is no doubt that in Dishonored how you play makes a big difference.
Well, I wouldn't really agree with that. Yes, you got rid of the big bad government guys, sure, but the way you play determines whether you and Emily will be good, or just as bad as the previous guys. There are three endings, right? Good, kind of bad, and really bad. I've played the good and kind of bad, and there isn't that much difference, after all the Outsider says that "history will remember Emily as an empress influenced by bad environment in which she grew up" or something like that, but in the worst ending she dies and everything goes to shit. So, the way you play in my opinion determines whether you defeated the villain, or became the villain.
your nemesis is finally lying dead at your feet, and the citizens are all staring at you in terror. They start to yell at you some start throwing bottles at you, some are crying, and others are shrieking in fear. Why are they acting like this, he was the one that tried to stop you're research, you just wanted to bring your wife back to life. You look up at the big T.V screens all around you, you see yourself covered in the blood of your enemy, your eyes with black rings around them, you just look so tired and sad, The T.V screens have "breaking news" flashing at the bottom and the header is talking about how "The towns hero is dead" and that "the villain stands winner". After a moment you realize that they are calling you the villain, and you now know why everyone is acting with utter chaos. As you try and process this you wonder where you went wrong, was it when you found out your wife had cancer, was it when you turned to unsavory things to get money to try and bring her back, or was
it when you thought you would be hailed a hero for bringing back the dead. You put your hands up to your eyes, and try to wipe away the tears but they won't stop coming. You thought you where the hero, but it turns out you where wrong.....
coming in a few years
BTW that was fairly awesome, even if you did carve out my feels with a spoon...
Although you're kind of the "villain" all along, albeit wrongfully accused.
