What would you do?

As some of you know I play games on my PC,, in fact thats its prime reason for being, all things considered during its build were maximise one function, its ability to play games.

I have just finished playing The Walking Dead--
The Walking Dead Game Review | Photos, Screenshots, Xbox 360 (http://www.smh.com.au/digital-life/games/storyline-lives-large-in-the-walking-dead-20130515-2jljh.html)

now not only is this not a First Person Shooter, its graphics are in the old comic book style, and its a "Point and Click" game.
not my normal cup of tea at all!
Anyway if you took the time to read the review you'll see its all about choices, who lives and who dies, and how that effects your character and the people around you.
Now comes the reason for the post(wait for it--) In between each episode players choices were displayed, did you shoot the sick boy? did you drop your friend on purpose? did you leave someone to die?
But the best/strangest part is that players choices from all over the world are compared to yours. So you may find that YOU were in the 10% of players shot the sick kid, and THAT opens up a whole wriggly can of worms.
Was there an(y) alternative?
Am I a monster?
What sort of person shoots a kid?

Sometimes literally life and death decisions had to be made very quickly (less than 5 secs or the zombies ate you or a team member) but others you could really stew on.

The mechanic of gathering choices from people all over the world about life and death situations is unique and quite breathtaking in its simplicity.

How much of the results are a true character analysis is open for discussion.

I once did a few game reviews on here and the reviews of my reviews were enough for me to offer the above SMH column above;)

Have you seen the series?
I've not played the game but I often find myself musing over the characters decisions.
How sick is the kid?

[Pedro_The_Swift]

dying, and after he dies he becomes a zombie real quick, the real decision was whether to shoot him myself or let his dad do it.

Don't know about shooting sick kids but when playing BioShock I always harvested to little girl. :twisted:

Let his dad do it (if he can).
Have you played World War Z?
Modeled on the people who did Operation Flashpoint, or rather the engine behind it. It's a fantastic Zombie game.

That would have made the big daddies happy :p

I think as long as you can differentiate between real life and gaming.. you have to do whats best for your character! In skyrim.. I steal things all the time. If someone even looks at me sideways i slash 'em with my sword! If you gained precious seconds.. then I would have been in the 10%. Try and overtake me in a racing sim and I'll slam you into a wall... no hesitation!

I'm a big time gamer and make all my decisions based on in game. They very rarely corrospond with the real decision that i would make.. of course if zombies were going to eat me and my girlfriend, i would feed her dog to them. Not mine! I think she would go next and me and the brown furball would live happily ever after.

Left 4 Dead is my all time favourite zombie game. And far too many good Zombie movies to be able to choose

Yea, I have 580 odd hours on L4D 1and 2

[Disco Muppet]

I bought L4D2 on steam during a sale and haven't touched it since :whistling:

Sometimes you just have to man up or sit in the truck. Sometimes the best course of action seems the heartless one.

[loanrangie]

Its only a game FFS, go wild i say :D.

Good Game didn't give a great rap on that Walking Dead game from memory, and anything Hex doesn't like I don't..

I met Peter Garrett's daughter (Maude), she recon's her dad has spent more than 220 days on WOW..

I have to watch the series first. Unfortunately I do not have much time for games but of recent I have stuck with guild wars 2 and stronghold but have started LOL
I would just kill them if they are going to turn KILL.
