That's pretty bad, though at least he's ending it on his own terms as opposed you doing it to him I guess? I kind of wish they'd fleshed Saren out a bit more, he may have been racist but there were some hints at complexity to him, then BOOM game's ended.ReservoirAngel said:I never experienced the paragon version of events, since paragon Shepard pissed me off to no end. So I just went with Renegade and Shepard... yeah, he talks a mentally-damaged man into shooting himself through the brain!J-meMalone said:Me too, though the paragon persuade was less "kill yourself" and more "join me and stop Sovereign" with Saren making the choice to shoot himself because he can't go against the indoctrination. Or did I just remember that entire scene wrong?ReservoirAngel said:I kind of felt bad for killing Saren. Both ways, either just gunning him down or talking him into killing himself. Probably felt worse about the suicide, since at that point he wasn't outwardly attacking you, so you are essentially just bullying a brainwashed man into ending his own life.
Seriously, I liked Saren!
You consider people who disagree with you to be pollution?JesterRaiin said:Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh, look buddy... Sole purpose of those morons is being there, for you to kick their sorry asses. It's not that they return home and say "That was really hard night, everything was ok then Batman arrived and f*cked us Chris Benoit's style". I'd understand some sort of sympathy for Sims, but not for generic villains that simply cease to exist seconds after you leave their room.Use_Imagination_here said:When I say I felt sorry for them, I mean I slightly pitied them while I was beating them up. And than I proceeded to beat them up some more. I don't fully understand how getting slightly emotionally involved in a games world makes me fragile.JesterRaiin said:And that's why Jack Thompson started his crusade. :|Use_Imagination_here said:This is their home. I could leave at any time, they're trapped here.JesterRaiin said:Boo-hoo. Should've stay at home.Use_Imagination_here said:I mean yeah they allways attack you but you're the fucking batman, they must be scared for their lifes.
Man, if you're so fragile you shouldn't play such games and that's all.
We live in hard, cruel reality. No, really. Considering pixels as more than they are is a sign of weakness in my book. And straight path to world polluted by people that consider games anything more than fun. But that's just me.
Play all of them backwards and they scream like that, just in different ways. But the slow ones are the most chilling. It made me wish there was some way to shoot the headcraps off while leaving the person alive. But alas...Sectan said:Lilani said:I sort of feel bad whenever I set the zombies on fire in HL2. The way they just scream in agony until they drop dead...it's chilling. I only feel that way about the regular zombies, though. The zombines and the hellish things that run really fast can burn in hell for all I care.
You should feel bad about the slow ones. Play their voices backwards. OH GOD OH GOD HELP ME AAAAAHHH!
Way to be a jerk, dude. Don't call someone weak because they have an acute sense of empathy for something that isn't immediately human. All that suggests to me is that this guy isn't Going to go around murdering people in real life. I think that's a good thing.JesterRaiin said:Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh, look buddy...

No, why ?LordFisheh said:JesterRaiin said:You consider people who disagree with you to be pollution?
LordFisheh said:Caring about stories and people you know not to be real is the centre of any kind of storytelling. You know that the man on screen is nothing more than coloured dots, but because you're immersed in the story, you don't care. It's no different to feeling sorrow at a tragic film scene or being frightened by a creepypasta, just the emotion is being conveyed through a different method to book or film.
There's world of games and there's virtual one. There's playing and there's roleplaying. There are well developed characters and simple mannequines, with a few lines of script defining them, just waiting somewhere for hero to arrive and do whatever he is supposed to do. I fail to see a slightest point in caring about them. And yes, i perceive it as a first sign of weakness. Why ?Daffy F said:Way to be a jerk, dude.
