  • Gabriel finally has the time to grace us with his presence, and embarks upon an abortive cycling tour of one of the in-betweener Grand Theft Autos. We also talk about a whole bunch of things I can't be bothered to itemise into a list. Get that maple syrup warming, viewers, 'cos we're gonna get our waffle on.

    "Nobody knows more about black culture than nerdy white guys" - I know this one person who is white as white bread, speaks with the Eddie Murphiest of voices, knows every black rappers life story and does some freestyle rapping himself. One time when he had just left, a black friend of ours said: "You know, I feel so white next to him." Then, after some thought, she added: "Well, I only have dark skin, he's been trying to be black all his life. I don't stand a chance."

    fallout 1 and 2 did "morality" really well. They didn't give you a "good" or "bad" ending, they just gave you an overview of what effect you had on the world which really REALLY gives you a sense of agency and is a lot better than Random McCutscene telling you that you either Hitler'd or Ghandi'd the game.

    • @EldritchAugur
      @EldritchAugur 9 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Black Isle and now Obsidian really has a knack for that, Fallout actually has a good and bad karma system, but it's interesting how much more nuanced and sympathetic a lot of the "Bad" characters really are. One of my favorite examples is in Fallout 2 when you have a choice for Redding to be taken over by New Reno, NCR, or Vault City. Vault City and NCR are both good karma factions and New Reno is a bad karma faction.
      So you think the choice will be obvious, but it's not, after talking to the 3 butting heads of the town you realize the choice is a lot more grey than you might have thought, and even more surprisingly, New Reno might even be the best option because of Dan Mcgrew's sympathetic reasoning for supporting them.
      I really like the way Black Isle plays with morality, and the ending slideshow is just a brilliant way of giving real meaning to player choice.

    I felt that nico's darkness contrasted nicely with the silliness of the world and actually added to his character and that of the gameworld. There he is, with that past and that pain... and here is America, with its self-absorbed foolishness, filled with people who have never and will never have to feel pain at all like it. And what does America do with its privilege? Pisses it away. Through Nico, Westerners see the West from the outside looking in, for once.

      Trumpkins Revenge. I'm from Australia and it sort of confuses me too. If I were to give you my opinion of American college based on what I know from TV, I'd probably say that their college is like a more specific type of their high school. But I'd probably be wrong, I just always see Americans talk about 'classes' when they're at college, and I've only ever had one class in my uni career which was three times a week for one semester. Every other unit I've done has been one tutorial and one lecture (some of my units didn't even require a lecture, just an extra long tute).

      Shadow the Hedgehog was sort of. Well. I thought it was a bit of a cheat for you to have multiple endings when the point of the game was to figure out who Shadow was. You get a bunch of different ending game play modes only to end up with another one that is somewhat more definitive.
      What's the play through that Shadow would have done if he were playing this game? And what is exactly the most canon ending?
      The game gets padded out when you end up in a situation where you have to do more than just make it to the end of the stage. Sometimes dealing with elements that weren't well designed.
      I'm trying to think of a game where you could make a morality choice and it wasn't so much a case of good or bad. I come up mostly blank with the exception of Sakura Wars: So long my Love and Suikoden.
      Suikoden lets you build an army and make lots of life or death choices that could be a good idea or a bad idea depending on how it's going.
      Sakura Wars is a romance simulator that is also an action RPG. Rather than grind for experience you just communicate with your teammates and make lots of in battle choices that builds the strength between your allies when it doesn't directly involve you.
      You might notice in both instances you sort of lose the black and white outcomes in service of choices that just define themselves. At the end of the day you sort of can't prevent that you have material worth playing over again so you can get alternate experiences but ideally one play through where you just play the game naturally is the one you should feel the most satisfied with because it reflected the sort of experience you wanted to have in the most organic way.

    Evolution is at a standstill with civilization in place, as literally everyone is kept alive as much as possible. The only thing at work at this point is genetic drift, which isn't that huge of a driving force as we are 6.5 billion strong right now. Just wanted to point that out to no-one in particular.

    • @doritowarrior
      @doritowarrior 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      ketherga Fair point (very fair point actually, god damn it :) ), although an early death will keep you from having offspring. So while there may be a change in the gene pool, there is no real bottleneck in place in civilization. And thus this change in gene pool is probably going really slow and humanity will most likely wipe itself out before getting unrecognizable as being humanity (or perhaps we will get unrecognizable in the process of wiping ourselves out, as then there would be a bottleneck all of a sudden).

    • @ketherga
      @ketherga 10 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      You do realize that genetic bottlenecks reduce genetic variation right?

    • @doritowarrior
      @doritowarrior 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      ketherga Yes, they reduce genetic variation, thus leaving more chance for genetic drift to really do its business, as smaller gene pools are more readily conquered by individual genes. While this might not be evolution in the traditional sense, it would still drive us from our current situation. Also survivors of bottlenecks do so, because of a particular set of features. The genes encoding for those features are dus overrepresented after the bottleneck, further increasing the genetic distance from our previous situation.
      But I admit it gets a bit blurry from there, as it is hard to think of evolution on such small timescales and within but one species. Perhaps the best argument for human evolution being practically at a standstill at the moment, would be that the world has become so small. Populations aren't really cut off from each other, thus keeping the genes flowing throughout the entire population. This ofcourse practically rules out any speciation, keeping us from genetically deviating from ourselves.

    @eeyuup 10 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    The only moral choice system I ever liked was the one from Vampire: The Masquerade- Bloodlines.
    Most of the choices were pretty gray, like "do you kill the guy who told a human about vampire society to uphold the masquerade or do you let him live and run away, facing possible repercussions from your fellow vampires."
    Both being "the good guy" and "the evil guy" were pretty damn fun and rewarding.
    The bad ending was a bit abrupt, but it was fitting if you played a low morality character.

    The colors are off because (I suspect) that your color range was set to 16 bit, when your OS is 32 bit or higher. Same thing happened to me. Switching it to 32 bit fixed it. Then I played the game. Then I hated the thing. Then I wrote about my experience on the internet.

    I feel as though the Fallout series (excluding 3) has had good grey moral choices.

    • @HelenaRedgrave
      @HelenaRedgrave 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      3 did have a couple ambiguous choices here and there, though you're still given positive or negative karma most of the time, which kind of beats the purpose.

    • @scourge7373

      Megaton was such an insulting attempt at moral choice it pissed me off.

    • @Mrplzdont4get
      @Mrplzdont4get 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      For me, Fallout 3 had the most ambiguous moral choice I've faced with the Oasis questline. I had to choose between 1) inhibiting Harold's (the tree-man) growth to prevent others from discovering Oasis to protect it from possible dangers, 2) accelerating his growth to expand the oasis, or 3)killing him to end his suffering. 4) You could be totally evil and burn him to death, granting negative karma. The first 3 choices gave +karma, and while I didn't consider #1, I had a real dilemma between #2 and #3. I haven't faced a similar dilemma ever before, or since.

    • @Cullen823
      @Cullen823 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      I was meaning more that the big choices in the game (Megaton & the end) were just plainly black and white. But of course 3 did have a few interesting choices like the ones for Harold and I can't think of any more because I haven't played 3 in a few years, but I'm sure there are more that I'm missing.

    "You're a loose cannon, Hooker Cop CJ."
    Whenever I hear that, I always imagine Yahtzee standing next to CJ in a police uniform continuously judging his killing sprees.
    "I don't think those were hookers at all."
    "How will heroine help you kill hookers?"
    "What happened to you, CJ? You used to be all about the hooker killing. You've really changed." XD

    What Niko Bellic said about children sitting in front of a church with their throats slit and hands chopped off is what I felt after downloading the child killing mod for Skyrim. While some of the children did annoy me to the point of murdering them, I felt a little dead inside. The Holds became a lot quieter and more solemn afterwards. Had to start a new file just to keep my spirits up.
    It is pretty amazing how video games can affect us on a morally deep level. I'm glad I took your recommendation for Spec Ops: the Line, though I do admit you were spot on when the game blames you when it was their idea. I believe the metaphor you used was, "A girl strips down and sits on your face while you're sleeping and when you wake up, she gets mad at you for looking at her ass." It's hard not to if you had little choice in avoiding it.
    Anyway, good show as always and keep up the good work Yahtzee and Gabe!

    (Entirely aware that neither of the two actually read comments, and that this is analogous to shouting at the TV):
    The end sequences of this video are, to me, what make this series so enjoyable. When Yahtzee and Gabe (the truly unsung hero) actually manage to discuss a topic unrelated to the game they are playing. There are likely hundreds of videos on youtube wherein the uploader(/s) make idle commentary on the goings on in the game they are playing, but to me what makes these videos shine is the genuinely interesting and often insightful outlook of the two gents.

    Yahtzee, in that case I challenge you to drown out demons souls!!!! I learned from my expirence last month that it's more than worth going back and playing, and watching this episode and just cause 2 made me enjoying going back to it for some nostalgia chaos, i love that you do these things I do to entertain myself when I'm bored and try to make it boring, all it does is teach me about subject matters and make me wanna casually go back to just cause 2 and San andreas, which is still my favorite GTA hands down, and Demons souls is more than worth going back! so consider it sir Ben yahtzee, for this enthralled fan waits with baited breath, royalty class and female, so fun

      Yeah, I doubt he or anyone else gives a shit about what kind of people they SEEM like in the videos anyway. Something I would like to address though is how Yahtzee often cuts Gabe off when he starts going on a tangent about some weird personal life shit, assuming no one cares or wants to hear about it, when in fact (at least IMO) one of the best parts about following good Let's Players is learning about them as people. Through weird stories about semi-embarrassing bullshit. But oh well, still love the videos so who cares

    I wouldn't call San Andreas polarizing. I mean yeah, there's a few people like me who don't get why everyone wants the franchise to go back to this, but this tends to be the most praised entry among fans.
    4 and 5 would be faaaaaaaar more polarizing, especially 4, which is a shame really, considering I find it to be the best GTA game in the series.

    I don't think the problem with moral choice systems in games is that the "middle" doesn't get a reward, it's that any place on the spectrum does. It turns something that should be grey and fluid and dependent on the situation in to just another part of the game system to be exploited to acquire more power, or to achieve "success" by choosing the "right" option.
    And I can't believe I never got what "Clucking Bell" was supposed to mean before.
    I think Glados was really good in Portal 2. She had some of the best lines of the whole game. Cave was really good too, but Glados was a really great part of that game as well. I don't think I could choose between them.

    The point of the chaos rating in dishonored, was not that if you killed alot its wrong and you are evil, The idea is that the more you litter the streets with death, the more rats there are, the faster the plague spreads. meaning you may have been doing the job. But you would be helping spread the plague, making for a darker ending, Its not as simple as killing is bad, Because you can kill all the main targets and still be on low chaos

    • @asn8744

We would complain that either,. All the killing made no difference, Or playing it methodically made no difference, That You could spread plague massively and all be happy smiley. People always talk of there being no consequence for their actions, and suddenly when there is a consequence, It sucks all the fun out of it, Developers can't win

      Agreed. If Yahtzee can give Dark Souls a second, third, fourth chance, he should at least give Witcher 2 a shot again sometime.
      Only games I've played where there's moral choice not shoehorned in and every choice is grey.

    • @randombencounter263
      @randombencounter263 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      What I like about TW2 is that the choices don't really affect the ending much, but the ways you can get there. But I probably still prefer the first game's choice system just because it gives you the option of saying "Fuck off, this isn't my war." and turn your back on both sides. I feel like more RPGs could benefit from that.
