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.

JimmyJames705491d ago

Well said. I completely agree.

awiseman5491d ago

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

NukaCola5490d 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.

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.

kube005491d ago

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

Sam Fisher5490d ago

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

Game0N5491d 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.

Would be nice if they had New Vegas ready as well, especially because of the show.

Hopefully this doesn't have the same performance issues as Oblivion Remastered.

cloganart125d ago

I haven't seen anything on these performance issues? What's been going on?

walken7124d ago

Probably the Unreal Engine issues, I skipped it for that reason.

Snookies12126d ago (Edited 126d ago )

Throw in all the DLC as well, like Oblivion and I'll definitely bite. I recall having one trophy left to unlock on the PS3 version with 100+ hours in my save. When my save file got corrupted, lol. Very sad day.

To be fair though, Bethesda was trash at Playstation ports anyway.

Michiel1989125d ago

all devs sucked at porting to ps3 for the first like 3 years because no one had experience with the cell architecture. Even 1st party took a long while to get proficient with it, the difference between uncharted 1 and 3 is massive for example.

Extermin8or3_125d ago

Oh oh oh I can do this too. GTA 7 will be made at some point in the future. Fallout 5 will enter development in the future too

jznrpg125d ago

Everyone there should know most gamers want New Vegas and Morrowind more than anything.

Christopher125d ago

Which is why we won't get them. Gotta keep floating "support this one and it might happen".

BlaqMagiq1125d ago

Can't wait. Won't have to go back to my PS3 to play this when it comes out.
