Poll: Have you ever experienced guilt in a game?

[Red Bomb]

Numerous times in The Witcher, Im sorry but you just cant play the 'nice guy' with him!

 

[seamusotorain]

Two stand out for me: in Fable 2, returning to the Temple of Light after going to the Spire,

Spoiler: and...

seeing how dilapidated it had become after I had killed all the monks, and the general greyness of Oakvale.

The other is a bit stranger. Gears of War 2 - I had just finished a firefight with those pesky Locust, and as I roadie-ran along, I noticed a dead Grub that had crawled a significant distance from the fight, leaving a smear of blood behind it. I stopped in my tracks. Dom's petulant whines about Maria became white noise. What did this creature think in his final moments? Did he hope to be revived by the caring touch of a friend? Did he accept his death as a matter of course?

then i used my chainsaw gun 2 kill n alein lol

Harvesting the little sisters in Bioshock 2. I carried them around like their real daddy and then sacrificed them for my personal gain. It didn't get any better when they started reacting to my evil-ness. "Daddy? You're never gonna hurt me, right?"

The Dark Brotherhood quest was also pretty messed up.

 

[Steampunk Viking]

Mass Effect 1...

Spoiler

Killing the Rachni Queen

Made me feel so damn guilty, but I'm building up a Renegade character.

 

[MrSnugglesworth]

I remember feeling guilty in GTA 4 where I had to choose between killing one guy or another.

I chose to kill the down-on-his-luck guy who mentored the younger guy before he was sent to prison, because the younger and more successfull guy could provide better jobs for me, or so I thought. I killed the old guy, and found myself feeling guilty for it, and then the younger fellow said that he couldn't talk to me anymore after I killed his mentor. Bah.

Sorry I can't remember any of the names.

Dwayne and Playboy X (Just got through that part, I killed Playboy)


OT: In GTA4, whenever I'm driving and I randomly slam into someone and kill them. Always makes me feel bad.
Also, in Bioshock 1 and 2, whenever I kill a little sister.

 

[Kungfu_Teddybear]

Mass Effect, any time I make Tali feel bad.

took the words right out my...uh..fingers..

i felt so bad in ME2 when i didn't give Tali back Veetor i had to load it up and let him go with her

Almost every kill in Shadow of the Colossus. Especially when they're screaming out in pain each time you stab them. And the music is so sad... My game disk was second hand though, and it's screwed up, not starting up anymore. I really liked the game, but yes, felt guilty for the whole thing.

 

[MrGFunk]

1) Have you ever experienced guilt in a game? What was the situation?

The whole point of Shadow of the Colossus was to make the player understand the importance of love and it states that with guilt. Even the little one that runs at you - even he didn't deserve it - that's just his survival instinct. Man that's a sad game.

SotC is jumping up my replay list. It's made it back to the shelf next to the PS3. As soon as GoWIII is done I'm getting on that.

EDIT:
Ha.
Check out the post directly above mine.

[Zealous]

I do all the time. i'll just use ME2 as an example cause it's all moral choices and whatnot.
*POSSIBLE SPOILERS FOR ME2*
The three times in that game that I really had felt guilty afterwards was when I:
-Brainwashed the Geth. On my second play through, I talked to legion as we were going through the ship more and discovered that all Geth share a 'mind meld" kinda thing, so they would all have to feel the pain of be "consensusised". The other option was blow up the Geth ship though...
-Warned Garrus' target (I forget his name...) I though it would be a good thing to do, but Garrus sure was pissed. And he died in the mission, because of that choice. Garrus was probably my favorite character in ME1 and ME2 so it sucked to have him die (when I knew it was my fault for pissing him off).
-Blew up the Collector ship. Damn, that was a tough one. I usually be a Paragon or Paragon-Neutral. There was a little nagging voice in the back of my head when I chose to blow it up. I hated the Illusive Man and the Human Reaper, but then after I had finished my export-to-Mass-Effect-3-profile I though "What if Earth falls because we don't have enough firepower? What if I fail because I chose the hero option?"
*SPOILERS END*
And that's just Mass Effect 2...

 

[Slash Dementia]

I don't think that any game besides Bioware games have made me feel guilty. Then again I haven't played that many games.

Knights of the Old Republic made me feel guilty the first time I played it because I killed Bastila and wasn't able to save her. She was my favorite party member in that game. That's not the only thing from the game either.

 

[Tuddle]

MW2 I took some guys package (that was not mine) because all my teammates were on the other side of the map and I can see the enemy team (by radar) coming closer, so it's better for our team to get it instead of the enemy team so I took it. It was a chopper gunner. I killed about ten people, I felt guilty.

 

[ShroomMinus]

I felt guilty when I kept killing people on TF2.
Because I'm THAT much better than them.

 

[evilninja60]

1) in dragon age i was traveling in the big town (i forget the name) and a crow assassin comes and convinces zhevren (thats probly not how you spell his name) to attack me, and i end up killing him.

2)i did it because i had no choice

3)because i like the little gay elf

4)i would be friend zhev more and hopefully he wouldn't make me kill him again

 

[grombombadil]

In Assassins Creed 2 when I missed my chance to hug Davinci D:

Trust me kids, do it or forever you'll be sorry...

 

[Cosmic Naginata]

In Assassins Creed 2 when I missed my chance to hug Davinci D:

Trust me kids, do it or forever you'll be sorry...

Yeah I really regretted that, the prompt caught me completely off guard.

InFamous: having to choose between the Doctors or Trish, as a hero my choice was based on what was right not what I personally wanted despite knowing exactly what the outcome was going to be. I felt guilty because as a hero I failed that day.

 

[Pingieking]

SPOILER!!!!!

In Heavy Rain, when I put the bullet in the drug dealer's head. I HAD NO CHOICE! *sob*

Numerous times in the Witcher.

 

[UPRC]

I always feel a little guilty in games whenever I go with the bad choices available to me in moral dilemmas.

 

[Sassafrass]

Yes, when attacking a Big Daddy in Bioshock 1 and to some extent in Bioshock 2.
Well...I have to get ADAM somehow, don't I? How else am I supposed to get to the Sister?
Probably because the Big Daddy is quite docile and only fighting back to protect its Sister, which makes me feel guilty as feck.
Yes, I would but I wouldn't enjoy it.

 

[Primate]

The best game ever ( from my point of view )
was fallout 3...

the game was so immersive that I felt guilty about doing ANYTHING wrong.. my "father" would simply say.. " I'm very disappointed in you my son ", I would shed a tear... ='(

so to summarise, I have never completed that game doing everything evil.. because I simply couldn't finish it ='/
