    I remember when Bioshock Infinite came out, a few weirdos were demanding refunds because in the first 10 minutes of the game, a scene with a bunch of cultists requires you to click a button to “Accept Baptism” from them. They were refusing to push the button on religious grounds, and so they soft locked themselves out of playing the rest of the game. Smh.

          They also had that in Fc4. If you don’t run away, eventually the dictator comes back and takes you to spread your mother’s ashes, and later takes your on a helicopter tour to shoot guns and stuff. Credits roll.

          Man I’m still salty about the real ending, I think the 5 min ending might be preferable (not really, again, just salty).

        Isn’t the whole point of the series to highlight the way games give you only an illusion of freedom and are instead railroading you all the time? That option would go against the whole philosophy of the game.

      Reminds me of Alundra on the PS1, where at some point the game forced you to accept praying in a church; I tried to reject it but the game wouldn’t let me. It ended up being plot relevant in the end, as
