Meaningless decision? 99% of games with character customization, you spend an hour getting the perfect face and they're covered in armour 2 minutes later
The decision in wolfenstein is actually big if you ask me, while it doesn't really change any main gameplay it changes every cut scene that character features in & any dialog they say
grass is ineffective to electric and electric is ineffective to grass is the dynamic that I've experienced, however a strength/weakness type edit may have caused grass offense to hold an advantage by being neutral to electric.
No grass is neutral to electric so you would have the upperhand and do full damage, whereas his electric attacks will only do half damage its always been that way I'm pretty sure
Jeez can people just stop talking out of their asses and look at a bulbapedia article bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Grass_(type) grass has always been resistant to electric and had neutral damage attacking electric types
yeah which is pretty much a mass-effect 3 ending. do you want thousends of people to die or your one friend that you saved 9+ timrd to die? wow what a difficult choise
The other meaningless decision in Pokemon Go is which team you're on; no matter what you choose (Valour, Instinct, or Mystic), someone is going to spout hate speech about your team.
I hope they start giving bonuses. Like, Instinct hatches eggs more quickly, Mystic needs less candy to evolve, and Valor needs less Stardust to power up Pokémon.
@@toyboxez There's actually a bit of a plot now that they've rolled out the Team Rocket stuff. It's not world-shaking or anything, but, I mean, it's Pokemon.
Bulbasaur is for losing battles? You can win the first 2 badges with him easily and Lt Surge with his electric types can't do you proper damage. Charmander? Useless during the first 2 gyms and nothing special in the 3rd. Squirtle? Great against Brock, nothing special against Misty and a disappoinment against Surge. Get your grass type hate away from here.
You wrote Bulbasaur instead of Squirtle Yeah, in the early game the only way I used to beat Brock is to level up a caterpie to a butterfree and use it's special moves if I chose the fire type.
Bulbasaur is actually over powered in gen 1, because of the glitch with Toxic and Leech Seed going off the same counter, and the fact that Razor Leaf would critical every time you used it. I chose it when I played Pokemon Blue, and I don't regret it at all. It's also my favorite design of the 3 original starters.
+Blue Sparx my gosh how many glitches were in gen 1 so far we have the counter glitch, the missing attacks glitch, some glitch with wrap glad my first experience was the firered remake lol
Haha that's what I was going to say, he really was trying to help them, and chased off the wendigo, he's a badass and a nice dude I love the game, but it's always weird playing the beginning after beating it, you like all the characters, even Mike, but then they're being such dicks in the beginning I mean, it's just a prank, but since she likes him its pretty cruel to her.. although she didn't have to run out into subzero woods
2:55 "Bulbasaur because you like losing pokemon battles?" No. The first two gyms on Pokemon Red/ Blue are Rock (Brock) and Water (Misty). I dont see how'd you'd lose to these two if u started with bulbasaur.
i'm sick of bulbasaur diss his mega great thick fat fixes 2 of his 3 weaknesses adds bulk etc even base bulbasaur is good venoshock toxic combos always fun
@@IFuckingLoveFrenchToast funny how bulbasaur is the ''worst'' starter cause easy mode but all other grass types cough cough rowlett are great all sudden well bulbasaur and chikorita get bum end of mockery for pseet reasons ''chikorita hard mode so bad'' ''bulbasaur easy mode so bad'' make up your minds people like i love all 3 starters but the mockery makes no sense what so ever
The first time they did this, the result was interesting because it really was a "shock" that regardless of your choice, that character would die. But after seeing this in virtually every game (not to say every game episode), the situation is simply boring and honestly removes much of the fun of making choices in their game and considering that "choice" is a large part of these games, this is a serious problem. They really need to rethink how they deal with choice on their games,because I can see them fading into obscurity if they continue like this.
Can I just say, in my opinion, they do a superb job of presenting a seemingly branching narrative, whilst still keeping it tightly wound enough to provide a coherent story. Think about it, if every 'choice' in a Telltale game really did change the story in a major way, they'd have hundreds of storylines to write! Imagine how long each episode would take. It'd be like The Wolf Among Us episode 1-2 gap all over again.
Not only that, but I remember reading that they purposely made the choices irrelevant story-wise to show that despite the infinite timelines, events are the same, implying the power of fate. Or something like that.
also story-wise Elizabeth's brooch in Infinite it's subtle clue about that Elizabeth not being "your" Elizabeth Also it's a symbol to the Constants and Variables of the Multiverse i.e. Booker always sell his daughter, will always repent, but sometimes he does stuff differently , even sometimes becoming you know who
Gonzalo Paredes I know who you're referring to at the end there, but I still choose to interpret your comment as saying that Booker sometimes becomes Voldemort.
Pretty much every choice in a Telltale game has zero effect on the future. Once you make a few plot point decisions then you're set on a certain path and the small things like who to save and what to say have little to no purpose because certain things are going to happen regardless of whatever you choice
all of those "story based, decision driven" games actually have no choice and only affect maybe one or two dialogue sequences, the only game that is somewhat of an exception is until dawn
Is it just me or do all telltale games just kinda look... Bad. I don't mean that they aren't quality, I just mean that they look ugly. The characters just look atrocious. And the textures look weird. They characters look too smooth. And not in a hey this game is running very smoothly sort of way. I mean they don't have enough detail and just look poorly drawn. Like a but too flat, not enough wrinkles or lines of anything, it all just looks perfectly rounded.
I love how Tell Tale games are so prevalent in this video despite how they are sold on the premise of your choices mattering. My favorite thing is seeing a playthrough where do make the least amount of voices either by remaining silent or letting the timer run out and seeing the game just pull you along with its characters speaking for you.
I don't really think the point of watching a list show is the list itself, it's the charismatic presenter telling you why they picked each thing for the list.
I disagree about Wolfenstein. Sure the changes from the decision are minor, but they do last the whole game and changes in pickups could theoretically make the difference between life an death for some players.
yeah, but the player potentially dying at a couple of points is hardly a game changer in itself as death isn't permanent for the player character and they effectively have infinite tries.
But there many games that have less important choices than that. Nearly every game with dialogue trees will have conversation options that will change absolutely nothing, for example.
OriginalPiMan well yeah, but this isn't an argument formed on the basis of comparison. The Wolfenstein thing hardly made any difference whatsoever, a different pickup is probably one of the most trivial changes I can imagine in a shooter game like Wolfenstein.
It's also not just the health pickups/armor pickups like the story of Fergus versus Wyatt are different. Not for the player, but if you actually talk to them they experienced the war differently: spoilers btw, Fergus has been fighting for the last 15 years and he's old and tired and thinks the resistance is running out of young people and that he can't lead it forever, and of course that you made the wrong choice, he even points out he wanted you to save Wyatt. Wyatt says that he was naive and inexperienced and his leadership got a lot of people killed, he's learned from it but at the cost of lives and that Fergus, his hero of sorts, would have done a better job. They both think you made the wrong choice, which is the place where it loops back to being the same but that's not because it doesn't matter, it's supposed to be tragic, and in my opinion it is and ultimately this decision probably has 100s of lines of unique dialogue.
Save Duck or Hershel's kid? Doesn't matter, the kid dies anyway because plot! Wanted to save the son so much because Duck annoyed the hell out of me. :|
Yeah, I played through all the walking deads on 360, ps3 and xbox one making different decisions every time and regardless of what you choose ultimately the game makes each decision pointless before long.
i love tell tale games, but none of the choices in any of their games make any difference in the out come of all their games, still i'm a sucker for their story telling games.
Wolf Among Us and Tales from the Borderlands had...I'd generously say about 70-80% of the choices do SOMETHING. Only 30-40% of those were meaningful, maybe, but the little things could be cool.
I dunno, I'd say there's some variance to a couple of walking dead games too. Season 2 had that whole multiple ending thing, and new frontier had multiple characters that were ultimately determinant. That said, any significant difference is limited to that season only.
there are a better once and worse once. all in all i agree. usually in the end it doesn't matter much what you choose most of the time. there are maybe a handful of choices who will determine if you get ending A or ending B and if it is really good, there is an ending C. any other choice is simply to make it look like you are choosing the path.
KingKyuu but after first two bulbasuar has not much use in gym battles thus squrtle and charmander beating it later on so for an easy start choose bulbasaur but in the long run squrritle and charmander are better later on so who wins Prinplup
eh to be honest Charmander is pretty useless till you reach the 4th gym i wouldn't know about Squirtle since i have never started with him before but either way i'd say Bulbasuar becomes completely useless by gym #7 only to completely stomp gym #8 so i wouldnt say hes weaker later on
KingKyuu Well people like diffrent things and youve proved bulbasuar is the best gen 1 starter to me But whats the best starter of All PRINLUP Sorry..
Funny thing about the first two choices in Until Dawn. There is actually a third secret choice of do nothing. If you do nothing both girls live and you end the game early.
plus the decisions matters, i live in the countryside and I've still not got all evolutions of the 3 starters, i picked Squirtle and the extra candy has helped, I'm closest to Blastoise
"Maybe he's just a helpful passerby with loads of upper-body strength who just wants to pull you to safety!" Spoilers: This is actually what he was; he was genuinely trying to help and had no intention of harming them.
*4 Years Later* Just imagine the amount of therapy you'd need after that though. You try your best to save some strangers from falling to their deaths and they both fall anyway or decide to fall anyway.
The choices you make don't make much difference, but they influence how the story appears. Take The Wolf Among Us, a classic in the series: You can play the misunderstood fable that secretly has a bleeding heart, or the monster that's assigned to take down other monsters. It's all in how you play the game.
Leon Mercury for me the only difference is dialogue and the choice is forgotten later, i think heavy rain, beyond 2 souls, until dawn and mass effect trilogy do choices a lot better
I feel like that Wolfenstein one actually is not overly pointless. It does effect events down the road, and gameplay to a degree. No matter how small there are notable differences.
One difference is that the armor upgrades are worthless compared to the health ones. I had to play both timelines to beat Mecha Deathshead. Then again, I'm not very good, but still.
Luke Evitts Nope.jpg. The starter is an important choice mostly for the first third of the game, and Bulbasaur is the dude that gets you through Brock, Mt Moon and Misty no problem. Not like Charmander who's weak to everything
He's the best option for the early part of the game as he has an advantage over the first two Gym leaders (arguably three as he'll take half damage from electric attacks), but after that Charizard and Blastoise are stronger and have better move pools. Pretty sure outside of Solar Beam the best gen 1 grass attack has a power of like 60.
Bulbasaur is like the easy mode of Pokemon. You can beat rock, beat water and beat electric, the firsts 3 gyms right out of the bat. And if you keep leech seed, you can be come sort of a tank with sustain, making you durable through several fights.
Extended cut? They all mean different consequences for the galaxy (reaper extermination, reaper control, or unity between organics and synthetic). The red ending even has 3 versions, based on your war-thing score, showing differend levels of devastation from unleashing a galaxy-wide EMP. Not to mention the 4th ending, refusing to use the crucible and let the next cycle deal with it. Anyway, the choices you make regarding the other characters are what really shapes the story, not the "choose what ending you wanna see first before you load that last save" choices at the end.
ME3's initial lack of a prologue was intentional. It was symbolic. When asked to move IT topics to the fan fiction section of BSN, one of the writers refused the request, locked the thread, and said "There are elements of Mass Effect 3 that are meant to have non-literal interpretations." This doesn't mean IT is true, but it does mean that they intended you to *wonder if it was just indoctrination or not*. They've compared it to the Blade Runner thing. "Was a Deckard a replicant?" Personally I'm not a big fan of that comparison. The point of Blade Runner not telling you was because it didn't really matter if he was or not. It absolutely matters if the Reapers are or aren't really being stopped. It should be noted, BTW, that after 20 years they finally answered the question: Deckard is indeed a replicant, and if we're sticking with that analogy, Shepard is indeed being indoctrinated. Unfortunately, fans are stupid. Very stupid. Extremely stupid. Impossibly stupid. Instead of thoughtful debate, the community responded like petulant children and started the closest thing I've ever seen to an online riot, forcing them to add Extended Wrist Cut to give some more closure to the simple minded. And sadly, that's why we had Andromeda now. The fanbase acted like a bunch of retards, so now we're being treated like retards.
Every choice in that game is just a smart choice that Chloe hates you for or a questionable choice that messes everything up but Chloe likes you for it.
So much this. *SPOILERS* Every choice in the entire game is completely invalidated because you either go back and time and stop any of the game from happening, or everyone dies. I really feel like the ending let the game down in terms of choices mattering...
Evarya I mean but they really didn't. With the arguable exception of whether Kate lives or dies, all of your other choices have no real consequence. You will still go through the same scenes and get the same major choices. And, since it's all one game, just split into episodes, the ending still ensures that NONE of your choices actually matter
There's quite a few decisions in Life is Strange that don't seem to make much difference. One of the major ones in my opinion is when you have to choose between Giving Chloe, hooked up to life support, an overdose of morphine, or refuse to do so. The very next thing you do after making that choice is go back in time and prevent any of those events from happening.
Ermine Reddock Joining a team in GO on the early booms gets you allies when taking gyms, since you get cash currency when occupying gyms, having more and better "teammates" would get you more cash currency
Bulbasaur was one of my pokemon catchers. It's powder moves and tankiness made it ideal for me to use. Also, it does well against Brock, Misty, Lt Surge, and Bruno. It's hardly as bad as they say. Its design just isn't as cool.
***** I was more thinking the ones she dumped into the water supply of their building, but I'm sure she takes dugs for that too. Theres no way she's that naturally pretty
As much as it does look like no difference, the endings are very different: - Die, control reapers, rebuild galaxy with reaper technology, new mass relays, galaxy same as before - Die, merge synthetics and organics, everlasting peace, rebuild galaxy better than before, mass relays - Chance of living, destroy all synthetics, kill geth, kill EDI, world same as before, no reaper technology, no mass relays, galaxy wide death
+Shovan Modak Oh jeez they are... sorry, I really am an idiot... their voices sound kinda similar, and I haven't watched this channel much... still, I really am an idiot.
Bioshock Infinite's message was that nothing you do matters anyway. *None* of its choices made any difference. Throwing the baseball at the interracial couple or the speaker or not at all, the bird or the cage, even heads or tails in a coin flip - that was deliberate and a major point of the game.
Kiba Bloodfang I consider them morality counters, they may not matter to the game, but at least I know my Booker isn't a racist ads hole, and would never put a poor girl into a cage, that's all brain damaged Booker.
Devon Montoya THANK YOU!!! The fans try desperately to give the plot some sort of "meaning". or "message." in reality. the message is there is no message, the meaning is there is no meaning. now of course you can hide yourself behind that and claim but that is sooo deep. what it is, is lazy. no great plot. no depth. it is neither smart, nor genius, nor original. they gave you a game, which offers, choices, and different paths just so they could tell you in the end. "ha doesn't matter anyway!" thats cheap, not genius.
It's pretty surreal watching the clips form Saints Row in 2018 and thinking " What are you talking about? That purple monster looks like he would make a very wise and competent president."
There's absolutely nothing realistic about choosing some unnaturally colored, bulbous, goofy haired git with no self control for president!! -KickyFut, March 2019
Venusaur, and any other grass type for that matter, is shit on because grass type attack moves are trash, or at least were before Gen 4. Your strongest attack was Solarbeam which required either a turn to charge or a turn to use sunny day (and replacing a move with sunny day). Your next strongest move was Razor Leaf and it's piddly power of 55. Meanwhile Charizard got Flamethrower and Flame Blast and Blastoise got Skull Bash and Hydro Pump, all of those above 90 power. All of their stats are nearly identical with minor differences but nothing significant. Grass types in general have the most weaknesses tied with Rock, and many are dual types giving them even more weaknesses, and their attacks overall are weak and have many types which resist them, their only benefit being there are a lot of pokemon that are dual weak to the few types grass is effective against. Meanwhile Fire types have quite a few resistances and few weaknesses, though those weaknesses are very commonly used, but it's all made up for their immunity to burn and their great attack moves and great effectivenesses. Water types are much more balanced defensively and offensively, having a few key resistances but also having some key weaknesses, and same with their attack, also having great moves. Both get power boosts to all their respective attacks from weather, unlike grass which only gets one specific move boosted. Grass types are trash, though apparently that may have changed recently with gen 6, but it's historically been trash.
+EpicKaiserTom But in relation to what was said in the video. The girl said that Bulbasaur was the worst in Red and Blue. Wrong. He was by far the easiest starter for a big portion of the game.
She said you pick Bulabasaur if you like losing Pokemon battles Yes it is for Red BLue but Competitive battling is part of Red and Blue as well and we all battled our friends. She never specifically said you would be losing to NPCs, you probably do lose some but for the most part the game is easy and designed so kids can beat it. You can beat the game easily with the worst Pokemon. I just completed a Yellow playthrough with Primape, Venamoth, Flareon, Pikachu, Poliwrath and Farfetch'd and it was pretty easy aside from the fact I challenged myself more by trying to catch all 151. Obviously some pokemon are missing but I used cheats to get them. I still caught all the ones I could and evolved them by leveling them up. So my party wasnt as high as they could have been if I didnt waste a lot of the XP there on all the pokemon I needed to evolve.
Stephen Brucculeri But she obviously was not talking about competitive. Considering she was talking about the choice between the three original starters in the original games. And that still doesn't change the fact that in the original games, Red and Blue, Bulbasaur was by far the best for early game and getting momentum to get through the game.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Bulbasaur statistically the strongest Kanto starter? He has the advantage in 4 of the gyms, and only struggles when you hit the elite 4 (let's face it, what starter didn't have a bad time with them), Koga and Blaine towards the end (unaffected by most of Koga's arsenal from the Gen 3 remakes onward). Charmander is the one you pick to lose Pokemon. He gets destroyed by Brock, Misty, Surge, Sabrina, Giovanni and 3/4ths of the Elite 4. He's only strong against the grass gym mid game. By then you can have a flying type (even spearow/fearow) go to town on poor Erica without having to deal with the early and late. game struggles. Based on typing and stats alone, Bulbasaur kicks ass in Kanto. Now if we we talking Johto...well...sorry Chikorita. Sorry about that. Just had to get that off my chest.
I don't like most grass types only because of their move set, a lot of grass types have status effects, which are good, but I play the aggressive type, I always felt that the game tended to reward taking down your opponent fast more than the defense strategy. I normally pick fire types, mostly because they have an aggressive move set
My experience with telltale games is that none of the choices matter. You can literally stop a villain's origin story from happening in the Batman one and they still become a villain anyway
"Or pick Bulbasaur because you like losing pokemon battles?" Maybe someone should tell Jane how stupidly good Bulbasaur was in Gen 1, since you can easily use him to clear every single gym and the Elite Four with ONLY him.
I agree, Gen one is saturated with fire and water types too. Bulbasaur, Lapris, growlithe, jolteon, and your choice of earth quaker, marowack, nidoking, dragonite, sandslash. and room for an HM slave, usually a flier.
exactly, Bulbasaur is great in Gen 1 against Brock and Misty and his leech seed was great to catch pokemon early on. She needs to shut her mouth and make a sandwich
"with ONLY him", that works for literally any starter pokemon (except having charmander to fight Brock). I pretty much only use my starter the entire game, no matter who I choose. bulbasaur sucked compared to the others
Bioshock Spoilers: So here's the point of the brooch, and it's exactly what you touched on, and the significance is revealed there in that exact moment you commented on and said it might have been a mistake. It absolutely is not, and it's essential to the story, it IS the story, actually. The game is about a relationship, but the truth is that's all a mask for the real story about Parallel Universe Theory, and in that moment on the boat you are being told what's about to happen because you are with a completely different Elizabeth from a completely different timeline, only identifiable to you if you noticed that the brooch you gave her actually isn't the one you selected. It's not your Elizabeth, or not the Elizabeth that you have spent your game with. She's a product of different decisions creating alternate, divergent pathways. It's a teaser to the big reveal approaching the end of the story, that through every door in every lighthouse is a different outcome because one different decision was made somewhere in the line of decisions. It's actually monumentally bound to the entire theme of the game, that you made a choice, and that choice, while to you seems to be absolutely insignificant in every single way, created an alternate reality in which a parallel Booker picked a cage instead of a bird, with an infinite number of other different decisions on a divergent path in reality at every other turn of the game. And that's what brings you to the end, from your perspective something that was meaningless has actually created this path for you, this outcome you're living when there were an infinite number of other outcomes, and there you are sitting on a boat with a different Elizabeth teaching you this, all those different choices, different outcomes, and some of those divergent paths coming together to stop you from ever taking the baptism. But in the end, what she fails to see due to... well call it what you want, bias, blind drive to stop Comstock, missing the bigger picture, whatever you want, is that when she herself decides to kill you, another time line is created in which she decides not to, and nothing changes at all. That is the weight of that choice. It is nothing to you, but could be everything to the alternate reality you create alongside the choice. You picked the bird. But you also created a world in which you picked the cage. And that is true of every single thing you ever did in the entire game.
James Mitchener But the Elizabeth that is with you in the boat and at the lighthouse are the same one right? You're with them the whole time. So I think in this case that was just a mistake. The brooch does have a larger significance though, that you touch on. It does serve to show you that "your" Elizabeth isn't there, or at least it is heavily implied that she isn't, when you are drowned/'baptised' at the end. As for the parallel universes I think you're a little off on that as well. I don't think that with each action a new universe is created in which something else happened, but rather these seperate continuities simply exist parallel to each other. Do you see what I mean? "They're a million million worlds. All different and all similar. Constants and variables."
Gotta say that I never understood all the hate against bulbasaur. Only thing I'd heard besides opinions was one small essay on all the true advantages to picking bulbasaur and why he makes a good defensive meat tank. The thing that sold me on bulbasaur was how early I got poison powder and the fact that it's immune to poison.
...so you know how to pokemon, gj! People have defeated the Elite 4 with nothing but a lvl 1 Rattata, let's not act as if Pokemon is this super hard game that takes the strongest Pokemon to beat it ;) Also, objectively speaking, Squirtle is the "strongest"(most useful) of the 3, so even if you picked Bulbasaur because it has type advantage during the first 2 gyms, it's ONLY the first 2, and it's usefulness pales in comparison to Squirtle. But in the end, we should follow what the games taught us: "Strong Pokémon. Weak Pokémon. That is only the selfish perception of people. Truly skilled Trainers should try to win with the Pokémon they love best." And if that's Bulbasaur, good for you! :)
I first picked Bulbasaur because I liked the look of it. The whole poison typing was a nice bonus because of the immunity to poison. I would definitely trade him out for a typing that gave an immunity or at least resistance to paralysis.
I don't know how you choose any decision in pokemon as the most useless. In most games you aren't even allowed to say no, even though they give you the option to.
It's not surprising to see multiple Telltale games on the same list - after all, they just keep making the same game over and over again with different skins
Yup, also while the brooch doesn't really effect gameplay it does effect how the player interprets the story. Looks like Outside Xbox should rewatch the ending with their brooch choice in mind. (There are no flukes with the brooch) ;D
Daniel Wesley It also serves to show that "your" Elizabeth/AD isn't present when you're 'baptised' at the end. Still not entirely sure what the significance of that is though.
Keith David has been voicing Julius; the somewhat mentor of "The Boss" in Saints Row since the beginning. Him voicing himself is not as obscure as it is just the game breaking the fourth wall.
Illusion of choice is sometimes more valuable then meaningful choice. If you replay the games, sure you may be disappointed with the result, but more gamers will never know the choice was not important and we as gamers like it when games provide us with real choices (even if the results are cheated a little bit). In the old Pokemon games, you don't even know it's a hard choice and instead are stuck with whatever you pick unless someone tells you before you play to be careful.
Mine has jumped from gen to gen. Red: Charmander, beat E4, new game, Squirtle, get walled at E4, new game, Bulbasaur, beat E4, caught Mewtwo. This is also the only generation where I reset my game. Gold: Totodile. Feraligatr was my first Lv100. Ruby: Mudkip for slight metagame; my brother picked Cyndaquil in Silver and I thought he'd grab Torchic in Sapphire. He instead got Treecko. Diamond: Piplup. Fire ass is stupid. Infernape is great, but Chimchar is still srsly wat Heart Gold: Totodile. By now my Gold cart had died and I wanted my Lv100 Feraligatr back. I eventually did get him back ... along with raising 8 other Lv100s. Black One: Tepig. Oshawott didn't wrap back around to awesome for me. Snivy didn't garner my love either, but at the same time it didn't garner my hate. Black 2: Tepig again. White 2: Snivy, wanted something different from Tepig for Challenge Mode. Y: Fennekin and Bulbasaur. Picks geared towards dealing with the Fairy type. Delphox is the only Kalos starter not weak to Fairy, and Venusaur is super effective. Didn't matter in the end, though, because I ended up overleveled and decided to sic a Lv78 Eviolite Doublade on Diantha's Mega Gardevoir. Omega Ruby: Treecko. Tried to metagame here, thinking the Blazikenite event in XY would mean fewer Torchics. Also, Mudkip meme is trash. Sun: Rowrowlet. *FIGHT THE POWER!*
now mine: Yellow: I never played Red nor Blue simpely because I didn't want to let either charmander, squirtle or bulbasaur down Gold: Cyndaquil, didn't really love the options Ruby: Treecko Diamond: Turtwig, Torterra was OP and overleveled in my file, where all my other Pokémon were weak (except the starters a bit, made a trading deal with my little brother for us both to have all 3) BlackWhite: Oshawott/Snivy: Damn I loved Oshawott, partly bc of the anime, and Snivy was awesome too. Didn't realy love tepig, nor hate it. Decent Pokémon, but chanceless for me as the starter Y: First I chose Grass, but just because of Greninja I switched after a reset. Sun: Though choice, I mean well Water wouldn't stand a chance at all (although eventually I got all 3 again), but Litten won the battle over Rowlet
sorry but every choice in the walking dead were usless save luke nope still dead,save nick nah he only had one extra line then dies, help christa she gets stabbed in the ass really no difference in the choices
Yeah, there with the tractor at the fence, I actually restarted the game to try the other option, and we still got kicked off the farm. Might as well save the kid.
To be honest I dont get why everyone hops on the "I hate Bulbasaur" bandwagon. Sure he is not too strong against charizard, but honestly he is great for most of the game.
Same with Game of Thrones. There were definitely more choices that made me want to tear my hair out. Sure, Ethan's death was shocking at first, but feels less and less relevant as the story progresses. I feel like Telltale doesn't really know how to handle their stuff.
Cutting off Lee's arm at least changes a bit of the dialogue when he sees Clementine again... Saving Travis or David changes one model in a cutscene. No dialogue or story changes at all.
"I feel like Telltale doesn't really know how to handle their stuff." Yep. I bought both Walking Dead titles when they were on sale. I played the first Walk Dead and haven't started number two, because I know most of the choices won't matter.
@@BrotherAlpha The problem is that when you fork the story that means twice as much work later.... repeatedly. Become Human's solution to the problem was to have a series of missions that only loosely connect to the big picture. Thus they could write 20 ways to play each mission and not worry about how you did it later. If there's 20 possible endings to a story mission and the game needs to remember that later? Heh, people wonder why Bethesda games have bugs? It's because inside the code is a Gordian knot of quest logic that tracks details that the player doesn't even know exist.
Jane, please, stop... "Badass fire attacks"? Against whom? Charmander was useless in generation one and the worst starter, first GYMs were totally immune to fire (rock and water), and the last GYM was fire type, so even fully maxed out Charizard was no good. Besides, Bulbasaur has biggest defense stats from the starter trio, even bigger speed than Blastoise xD he smashed first GYMs, and in the endgame he destroys Elite Four as Venusaur. The only problem could be with fire gym in the end of the game, but who cares? You had plenty of time to catch and train many water Pokemon. And i know that Charmander was buffed in gen3, but still makes not so much of a difference and she was talkin' about our "childhood". Bulbasaur is the best Kanto starter.
Bulbasaur is super easy mode for the first few gyms. Squirtle is easy mode for the game. Charmander is the choice of trainers who actually like a challenge and want the best Pokémon.
Kay it is more than the first two gyms with Bulbasaur though. First two gyms sure, Squirtle is still great. But then you get to the electric gym. Bulbasaur is still good. Squirtle is not. Then you got the grass gym... Bulbasaur isn't directly bad against it. It is also poison type secondary so it isn't so bad against the grass types. Then the poison gym... Poison can't poison poison. That bulba is part poison type. Still good against the gym. It isn't until the psychic gym that Bulasaur is not wise to use. And it is also not wise to use him against the fire gym. But then the final gym, what is it? GROUND. Super effective. So Bulbasaur with all it's resistances and very little weaknesses and the fact that it is good at the START of the game rather than any other time, says it is the best. But wait- there's more! Venasaur can oneshot most of the elite 4's pokemon. First one uses ice types but they are all with the exception of Jinx, also water types. The second there is a onix. Venasaur sn't bad against fighting types. The third who has ghost, he will struggle with. But Venasaur isn't weak to Ghosts or poison types that she has. Final. Dragon. Garados? Yeah bye. And toxic leach seed the frig out of Dragonite. Dragonite shoudl be the only real struggle for Venasaur. Bulbasaur is the best choice because literally every match up is easy street. Charmander is choosing hard mode. Also, if you think you are grabbing Squirtle for surf- you are making a terrible choice because before you need to surf you are GIVEN a lapras in the game and Lapras is better than Blastoise. Squirtle is not easy mode. It is medium. Both Squirtle and Charmander wont be good against the elite 4. Bulbasaur is good against 6/8 gyms and the elite 4.
even now venasaur has one of the best mega evolutions because it give him the ability thinks fat, which negates his fire type weakness, and he's also an amazing fairy killer. with mega charizard y/z being clone behind.
i choser world hunger. curing cancer is meaningless. there are so many types aswell as other diseases and ailments. curing world hunger though thats an all encompassing solution.
The Until Dawn decision actually does have an impact on the story later down the line, it's just not an immediate result. That's kind what the game means by mentioning the butterfly affect at every corner.
I'd like to think the decisions were shaping max more than the world around her. In a save Arcadia bay ending, max still has the memories of everything that happened, and the save Chloe ending was ambiguous enough about just how destroyed the town was that other people could still be effected by the rest of your choices.
Nothing matters if you choose to sacrifice Chloe, and even then if you save her all your decisions in the past were either redone in different rewinds or were only important in hindsight, considering that the new game they're making will have new protagonists.
But that one proved vitally important when the war of the factions broke out. Who knew letting people join yellow, red and blue gangs and giving them biological weapons to fight for coins and "stardust" could ever go so wrong?
The until dawn choice of killing josh or that girl made no difference too. Also, it has been proven that bulbasaur is the best starter of gen 1 and that Charmander is the worst choice
There's the choice in Dragon Age Inquisition, where you have the weighty choice between seeking the help of the Mages, or the Templars. The group you do not seek out disappear. And the literal only effect this has is whether it's Dorian or Cole who'll be comin' round the mountain when he comes - right in front of a huge army to pound you and your settlement into a fine, smushy paste. Same army, too.
That's not entirely true. Depending on which faction you choose you have two completely different main missions (Champion of the Just or In Hushed Whispers) and two very different side stories after reaching skyhold dealing with either Calpernia (Under Her Skin) or Samson (Before the Dawn). So while the battle at Haven is exactly the same, the actual missions and the potential aftermath don't exactly warrant it a place on the list. A better example would have been whether or not to help Anders in DA2 ;)
Whether you do Leliana's quest or Cullen's is hardly a consequential decision, just a bit of slightly different gameplay. Both still take you to the exact same ending.
That's no different from origin. Templars or mages, you still need to kill the arch demon. Compared to the entries on the list, however, the differences are still much bigger in that it actually has an effect in how the game plays out and what end you get, just as lqbalx1 points out.
You forgot that part in Dragon Age two when you have to join the Mercenary or Smugglers but other then some miner difreses it dos not inpacet the rest of the story at all. .
Yeah but that's not presented as a life-or-death decision in the first place. It's just "which dodgy lowlife are you going to spend time working for", not "Who of my friends am I going to sacrifice to death or a fate worse than death". The Dragon Age decision that didn't matter that I spent most time agonizing about was the one from Origisn where in the Mage origin you have to decide to either betray your closest friend to a fate worse than death, or be a complete moron and go along with a plan which might get him away, but will certainly get you caught in the following investigation because you left a paper trail pointing right at you.
That Wolfenstein one was pretty meaningful by videogame standards. It changes the NPCs around you, the perks you get, and that robot at the end (haven’t played it). Less meaningful choices: Every romance option in every BioWare and Bethesda title. Your choice at the end of Mass Effect 3. Choosing not to continue at the beginning of any number of games that ultimately force you to continue anyway.
(+Black Panther) Most competitively viable. So sort of. It’s stats, moves, and typing together make it the strongest. Along with the first two gyms losing typing-wise and the fact that 70% of gen 1 is water, it’s definitely the best.
Unstopablness in generation one bulbasaur was the only starter with any place in competitive battling being a niche pick to counter amnesia users in particular slowbro. Speed also improved crit rate gen one and amnesia raised both special attack and defense since they were one stat so slowbro would wreck your team if it got set up and you didn’t have venasaur. Fire type sucked until skarmory existed and didn’t become a good type until there were enough really threatening Pokémon that had 4 times weak to fire ( scizor was first then gen five introduced ferrothorn which could hold its own in Uber’s if all users of fire type moves were defeated excaliviar who was a beast in trick room heck even Durant could cause problems by giving you truant. Also genesect existing was a nice buff to fire type to make them good but not excellent. And blastoise was just outclassed by starmie slowbro and lapras.
Unstopablness so you pick bulbasaur if you want to battle competitively you pick squirtle if you are speed running and you just suck if you pick charmander because he was objectively the worst starter in generation one ( even if he was the coolest)
Eh, while it had the same result it does teach you through breaking down that fourth wall that chopping off the bitten part is useless. Because you can see both end results you know that fact, and potentially you could make a better decision in the future. Potentially, maybe in Season 3 that choice could have an effect on Clementine's choice. Maybe if you didn't cut, Clementine will cut her or someone else's limb off without your input. If you do cut, Clementine could have the option to either cut or not because she has witnessed it, thus meaning that decision in Season 1 did have an effect. So now I have just given you two reasons that that decision is actually valid. A, you are educated on how bites work and B, because of the way Walking Dead is made, most decisions can have a future impact.
Ricky909 Perhaps then it just shows that it was useless in Lee's case because he went so long without having it cut off. I know that in the show they pretty much cut off things like that instantly. Really gotta get around to reading the comics...
I think the implication was Lee died from exerting himself so much to save clem if you cut it off rather than the infection. After amputations you are supposed to rest lol
Every choice in the War Within quest in Warframe. Each decision turns you either towards the Sun alignment, or the Moon alignment, or is Neutral. Each question gives you a moral dilemma about how you would act in the situation, with minimal information, and has no effect on gameplay whatsoever. It usually took me at least a minute for each of the dozen or so choices, which, in the end, didn't matter at all.
Meaningless decision? 99% of games with character customization, you spend an hour getting the perfect face and they're covered in armour 2 minutes later
At least Dragon Age series has an option to turn helmets invisible
Skyrim, too.
Since when?
Since always, DA has inplenented it in gameplay options
helmets dont even show up in cutscenes even if you dont turn on the hide helmet option
The decision in wolfenstein is actually big if you ask me, while it doesn't really change any main gameplay it changes every cut scene that character features in & any dialog they say
You choose Bulbasaur if you wanted an advantage against the first three gyms 9_9
grass is ineffective to electric and electric is ineffective to grass is the dynamic that I've experienced, however a strength/weakness type edit may have caused grass offense to hold an advantage by being neutral to electric.
No grass is neutral to electric so you would have the upperhand and do full damage, whereas his electric attacks will only do half damage its always been that way I'm pretty sure
Grass is not very effective to electric. Electric is not very effective to grass. It's the same.
KandiiKorn Actually grass is neutral against electric and electric is not very effective on grass. That matchup has stayed the same since gen 1
Jeez can people just stop talking out of their asses and look at a bulbapedia article
bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Grass_(type) grass has always been resistant to electric and had neutral damage attacking electric types
HEY BULBASAUR HAS FEELINGS YOU KNOW PLUS...he's my favorite
He is always said to be the best Kanto starter for actually beating the game in two poketubers videos!!! Bulbasaur for life!
And he's actually the best because he has a type advantage in the first 2 gyms.
And proved by MandJTV they're the best in first gen poke game
Things to help me for other channel ok As well as Eryizo.
I saw a meme saying bulbasaur is actually a legendary since u cant catch any other of them
"He turns into a zombie. OH DAMN. Should've gone with the other one- OH DAMN." LMAO CRYING
not in the list: EVERY DECISION IN LIFE IN IS STRANGE
I thought the exact same XD
It was a great story tho either way
Droid great story untill the BS ending
Except the last decision
yeah which is pretty much a mass-effect 3 ending.
do you want thousends of people to die or your one friend that you saved 9+ timrd to die? wow what a difficult choise
The other meaningless decision in Pokemon Go is which team you're on; no matter what you choose (Valour, Instinct, or Mystic), someone is going to spout hate speech about your team.
I hope they start giving bonuses. Like, Instinct hatches eggs more quickly, Mystic needs less candy to evolve, and Valor needs less Stardust to power up Pokémon.
Yes, that would actually be great and have an actual use.
+Fiona McCann I would have a hard time choosing between instinct and mystic
Haha I picked Valor because of Lake Valor in Sinnoh...
Well, you can lose all your gyms instantly, lose all your gyms instantly, or pick Mystic.
Haha spoilers for Pokemon go? That's the funniest thing I heard all day.
Mhm
Another spoiler: If you live in a rural area, you're screwed.
Spoiler: Pokémon didn’t go.
@@toyboxez There's actually a bit of a plot now that they've rolled out the Team Rocket stuff. It's not world-shaking or anything, but, I mean, it's Pokemon.

+PB&jimjam Pug09 prove it
Bulbasaur is for losing battles? You can win the first 2 badges with him easily and Lt Surge with his electric types can't do you proper damage.
Charmander? Useless during the first 2 gyms and nothing special in the 3rd.
Squirtle? Great against Brock, nothing special against Misty and a disappoinment against Surge.
Get your grass type hate away from here.
You wrote Bulbasaur instead of Squirtle
Yeah, in the early game the only way I used to beat Brock is to level up a caterpie to a butterfree and use it's special moves if I chose the fire type.
Bulbasaur is actually over powered in gen 1, because of the glitch with Toxic and Leech Seed going off the same counter, and the fact that Razor Leaf would critical every time you used it. I chose it when I played Pokemon Blue, and I don't regret it at all. It's also my favorite design of the 3 original starters.
Mistake noticed and corrected, thank you.
Another reason to hate Bulbasaur less.
+Blue Sparx my gosh how many glitches were in gen 1 so far we have the counter glitch, the missing attacks glitch, some glitch with wrap glad my first experience was the firered remake lol
Ironically that "creepy stalker" was a good Samaritan just trying to save you.
Haha that's what I was going to say, he really was trying to help them, and chased off the wendigo, he's a badass and a nice dude
I love the game, but it's always weird playing the beginning after beating it, you like all the characters, even Mike, but then they're being such dicks in the beginning
I mean, it's just a prank, but since she likes him its pretty cruel to her.. although she didn't have to run out into subzero woods
2:55 "Bulbasaur because you like losing pokemon battles?"
No. The first two gyms on Pokemon Red/ Blue are Rock (Brock) and Water (Misty). I dont see how'd you'd lose to these two if u started with bulbasaur.
Yeah M&JTV covered it (also it's cute)
Venasaur is also the best of the starter final evolutions.
i'm sick of bulbasaur diss his mega great thick fat fixes 2 of his 3 weaknesses adds bulk etc even base bulbasaur is good venoshock toxic combos always fun
Not to mention charmander is also the worse, being weak to the first two gyms, and also the third if he evolves into charizard before the gym
@@IFuckingLoveFrenchToast funny how bulbasaur is the ''worst'' starter cause easy mode but all other grass types cough cough rowlett are great all sudden well bulbasaur and chikorita get bum end of mockery for pseet reasons ''chikorita hard mode so bad'' ''bulbasaur easy mode so bad'' make up your minds people like i love all 3 starters but the mockery makes no sense what so ever
How doesn't it shock me that Telltale game is here.
Thank god, someone with the same opinion...fuck telltale
fuck them and their "point and click adventure games" seriously they are a disgrace to the whole genre
+MrBaris115 lmfao calm down, lil buddy.
The first time they did this, the result was interesting because it really was a "shock" that regardless of your choice, that character would die. But after seeing this in virtually every game (not to say every game episode), the situation is simply boring and honestly removes much of the fun of making choices in their game and considering that "choice" is a large part of these games, this is a serious problem.
They really need to rethink how they deal with choice on their games,because I can see them fading into obscurity if they continue like this.
Can I just say, in my opinion, they do a superb job of presenting a seemingly branching narrative, whilst still keeping it tightly wound enough to provide a coherent story. Think about it, if every 'choice' in a Telltale game really did change the story in a major way, they'd have hundreds of storylines to write! Imagine how long each episode would take. It'd be like The Wolf Among Us episode 1-2 gap all over again.
Actually Picking the Bird Brooch makes Elizabeth find more Healing and restoration items, whereas picking the Cage makes her find more ammunitions...
Nightmare1324 nice
Nightmare1324 welp, good thing i never picked the cage.
Not only that, but I remember reading that they purposely made the choices irrelevant story-wise to show that despite the infinite timelines, events are the same, implying the power of fate. Or something like that.
also story-wise Elizabeth's brooch in Infinite it's subtle clue about that Elizabeth not being "your" Elizabeth
Also it's a symbol to the Constants and Variables of the Multiverse
i.e. Booker always sell his daughter, will always repent,
but sometimes he does stuff differently , even sometimes becoming you know who
Gonzalo Paredes I know who you're referring to at the end there, but I still choose to interpret your comment as saying that Booker sometimes becomes Voldemort.
Pretty much every choice in a Telltale game has zero effect on the future. Once you make a few plot point decisions then you're set on a certain path and the small things like who to save and what to say have little to no purpose because certain things are going to happen regardless of whatever you choice
*choose
yea, but they did start to get a little better. choices you make at the end of Walking Dead Season 2 can leave you with 5 different endings
all of those "story based, decision driven" games actually have no choice and only affect maybe one or two dialogue sequences, the only game that is somewhat of an exception is until dawn
I disagree with this, Have you ever heard of Batman: a Telltale series?
Is it just me or do all telltale games just kinda look... Bad. I don't mean that they aren't quality, I just mean that they look ugly. The characters just look atrocious. And the textures look weird. They characters look too smooth. And not in a hey this game is running very smoothly sort of way. I mean they don't have enough detail and just look poorly drawn. Like a but too flat, not enough wrinkles or lines of anything, it all just looks perfectly rounded.
The hardest decision I've ever had to make is choosing a cereal brand at the beginning of Black Mirror: Bandersnatch
I love how Tell Tale games are so prevalent in this video despite how they are sold on the premise of your choices mattering.
My favorite thing is seeing a playthrough where do make the least amount of voices either by remaining silent or letting the timer run out and seeing the game just pull you along with its characters speaking for you.
You just earned my sub, fucking finally a list show that lists what they're spoiling BEFORE they spoil it
but they always do that
This channel maybe, top trending didn't when I unsubscribed. Plenty of channels don't. Props to this one.
doesn't that spoil the video then?
I don't really think the point of watching a list show is the list itself, it's the charismatic presenter telling you why they picked each thing for the list.
WatchMojo could take a fucking lesson from these guys.
I disagree about Wolfenstein. Sure the changes from the decision are minor, but they do last the whole game and changes in pickups could theoretically make the difference between life an death for some players.
Exactly. And come one Fergus is way better, why kill him?
yeah, but the player potentially dying at a couple of points is hardly a game changer in itself as death isn't permanent for the player character and they effectively have infinite tries.
But there many games that have less important choices than that. Nearly every game with dialogue trees will have conversation options that will change absolutely nothing, for example.
OriginalPiMan well yeah, but this isn't an argument formed on the basis of comparison. The Wolfenstein thing hardly made any difference whatsoever, a different pickup is probably one of the most trivial changes I can imagine in a shooter game like Wolfenstein.
It's also not just the health pickups/armor pickups like the story of Fergus versus Wyatt are different. Not for the player, but if you actually talk to them they experienced the war differently: spoilers btw, Fergus has been fighting for the last 15 years and he's old and tired and thinks the resistance is running out of young people and that he can't lead it forever, and of course that you made the wrong choice, he even points out he wanted you to save Wyatt. Wyatt says that he was naive and inexperienced and his leadership got a lot of people killed, he's learned from it but at the cost of lives and that Fergus, his hero of sorts, would have done a better job. They both think you made the wrong choice, which is the place where it loops back to being the same but that's not because it doesn't matter, it's supposed to be tragic, and in my opinion it is and ultimately this decision probably has 100s of lines of unique dialogue.
You mean basically every decision in every Telltale game?
Save Duck or Hershel's kid? Doesn't matter, the kid dies anyway because plot! Wanted to save the son so much because Duck annoyed the hell out of me. :|
oh boy
Rest in peace telltale.
Yeah, I played through all the walking deads on 360, ps3 and xbox one making different decisions every time and regardless of what you choose ultimately the game makes each decision pointless before long.
@@travisgeer5383 not in season 4
i love tell tale games, but none of the choices in any of their games make any difference in the out come of all their games, still i'm a sucker for their story telling games.
Wolf Among Us and Tales from the Borderlands had...I'd generously say about 70-80% of the choices do SOMETHING. Only 30-40% of those were meaningful, maybe, but the little things could be cool.
I dunno, I'd say there's some variance to a couple of walking dead games too. Season 2 had that whole multiple ending thing, and new frontier had multiple characters that were ultimately determinant. That said, any significant difference is limited to that season only.
there are a better once and worse once.
all in all i agree. usually in the end it doesn't matter much what you choose most of the time.
there are maybe a handful of choices who will determine if you get ending A or ending B and if it is really good, there is an ending C.
any other choice is simply to make it look like you are choosing the path.
hironyx Except for Batman: The Enemy Within.

+FilthyCasualKai Are you talking about Pokemon Go, Gen 1 Pokemon, or the CURRENT Gen Pokemon?
Kinger 5733 Literally*. And that's not the proper context for the use of the word "literally".
Say what you want about bulbasaur, you ain't gonna do crap when you're asleep and losing hp from leech seed.
Chose bulbasaur if you like losing huh? What are the first two gyms types again?
rock and leaf
in red and blue its rock and water thus Bulbasaur master race
KingKyuu but after first two bulbasuar has not much use in gym battles thus squrtle and charmander beating it later on so for an easy start choose bulbasaur but in the long run squrritle and charmander are better later on so who wins
Prinplup
eh to be honest Charmander is pretty useless till you reach the 4th gym i wouldn't know about Squirtle since i have never started with him before but either way i'd say Bulbasuar becomes completely useless by gym #7 only to completely stomp gym #8 so i wouldnt say hes weaker later on
KingKyuu
Well people like diffrent things and youve proved bulbasuar is the best gen 1 starter to me
But whats the best starter of All
PRINLUP
Sorry..
Until Dawn had an interesting plot to say the least. Basically "ITS A PRANK BRO", sprinkled with some mystical beasts.
*ItS JuSt A pRaNk BrO*
Brandon Hu it’s literally Saw meets punk’d. It’s fucked man.
Funny thing about the first two choices in Until Dawn. There is actually a third secret choice of do nothing. If you do nothing both girls live and you end the game early.
Phyllis Bergenholtz No, the log they’re holding onto breaks
spoilers for Pokemon go. seriously?
it's the internet; someone would've complained.
zman2748 there is a huge plot!!! Don't you know that?!?!
the story of how niantic killed their cash cow
plus the decisions matters, i live in the countryside and I've still not got all evolutions of the 3 starters, i picked Squirtle and the extra candy has helped, I'm closest to Blastoise
it is true what pokemon are available near the places you go may have an impact on things as you might not be able to catch certain pokemon
"Maybe he's just a helpful passerby with loads of upper-body strength who just wants to pull you to safety!"
Spoilers: This is actually what he was; he was genuinely trying to help and had no intention of harming them.

ALL THE SCARS
All of them.
I like telltale but their choices make zero difference
so do i
The choices you make don't make much difference, but they influence how the story appears. Take The Wolf Among Us, a classic in the series: You can play the misunderstood fable that secretly has a bleeding heart, or the monster that's assigned to take down other monsters. It's all in how you play the game.
like my vids
Leon Mercury
for me the only difference is dialogue and the choice is forgotten later, i think heavy rain, beyond 2 souls, until dawn and mass effect trilogy do choices a lot better
felix beyond 2 souls has no fucking choices
I feel like that Wolfenstein one actually is not overly pointless. It does effect events down the road, and gameplay to a degree. No matter how small there are notable differences.
One difference is that the armor upgrades are worthless compared to the health ones. I had to play both timelines to beat Mecha Deathshead. Then again, I'm not very good, but still.
Also doesn't one get you lock picking and the other hacking?
I played half with armor upgrades, and after that replayed with health ones.
you get to meet Jimi hendrix in the Wyatt timeline in the form of "J"
Saying "Yes" or "No" to Yuri's question of if you love her. She will laugh maniacally and stab herself to death either way.
Liked your comment just because your a Bulbasaur XD.
Yuri is.. weird..
Nice profile BTW
Evil genius right here
Thanks for the f'n spoiler dude...
I like that you imply Bulbasaur loses battles despite being the best choice of first gen
nice joke
Luke Evitts Nope.jpg. The starter is an important choice mostly for the first third of the game, and Bulbasaur is the dude that gets you through Brock, Mt Moon and Misty no problem. Not like Charmander who's weak to everything
He's the best option for the early part of the game as he has an advantage over the first two Gym leaders (arguably three as he'll take half damage from electric attacks), but after that Charizard and Blastoise are stronger and have better move pools. Pretty sure outside of Solar Beam the best gen 1 grass attack has a power of like 60.
Bulbasaur is like the easy mode of Pokemon. You can beat rock, beat water and beat electric, the firsts 3 gyms right out of the bat.
And if you keep leech seed, you can be come sort of a tank with sustain, making you durable through several fights.
Fuck yeah
Every Mass Effect decision for the ending of 3. Do you want the red, blue or green explosion?
blue.
JOHN ROBERT The Witcher 3 ending be like: "Do you want Ciri to become empress, empress, empress, empress, empress, dead or witcher?"
Extended cut? They all mean different consequences for the galaxy (reaper extermination, reaper control, or unity between organics and synthetic). The red ending even has 3 versions, based on your war-thing score, showing differend levels of devastation from unleashing a galaxy-wide EMP. Not to mention the 4th ending, refusing to use the crucible and let the next cycle deal with it.
Anyway, the choices you make regarding the other characters are what really shapes the story, not the "choose what ending you wanna see first before you load that last save" choices at the end.
Ending 1: Ciri is happy.
Ending 2: Ciri is unhappy.
Ending 3: Ciri is dead.
There you go. The choices have meaning.
ME3's initial lack of a prologue was intentional. It was symbolic. When asked to move IT topics to the fan fiction section of BSN, one of the writers refused the request, locked the thread, and said "There are elements of Mass Effect 3 that are meant to have non-literal interpretations." This doesn't mean IT is true, but it does mean that they intended you to *wonder if it was just indoctrination or not*.
They've compared it to the Blade Runner thing. "Was a Deckard a replicant?" Personally I'm not a big fan of that comparison. The point of Blade Runner not telling you was because it didn't really matter if he was or not. It absolutely matters if the Reapers are or aren't really being stopped. It should be noted, BTW, that after 20 years they finally answered the question: Deckard is indeed a replicant, and if we're sticking with that analogy, Shepard is indeed being indoctrinated.
Unfortunately, fans are stupid.
Very stupid.
Extremely stupid.
Impossibly stupid.
Instead of thoughtful debate, the community responded like petulant children and started the closest thing I've ever seen to an online riot, forcing them to add Extended Wrist Cut to give some more closure to the simple minded. And sadly, that's why we had Andromeda now. The fanbase acted like a bunch of retards, so now we're being treated like retards.
*cough* all of life is strange *cough*
I mean what who said that what
Every choice in that game is just a smart choice that Chloe hates you for or a questionable choice that messes everything up but Chloe likes you for it.
*cough* except for the last chapter
So much this.
*SPOILERS*
Every choice in the entire game is completely invalidated because you either go back and time and stop any of the game from happening, or everyone dies. I really feel like the ending let the game down in terms of choices mattering...
Nah, for the first four episodes your choices mattered. The last episode is what fucked everything up
Evarya
I mean but they really didn't. With the arguable exception of whether Kate lives or dies, all of your other choices have no real consequence. You will still go through the same scenes and get the same major choices. And, since it's all one game, just split into episodes, the ending still ensures that NONE of your choices actually matter
There's quite a few decisions in Life is Strange that don't seem to make much difference. One of the major ones in my opinion is when you have to choose between Giving Chloe, hooked up to life support, an overdose of morphine, or refuse to do so. The very next thing you do after making that choice is go back in time and prevent any of those events from happening.
Really, the only decision that matters is the last one. Either do the right thing...or save Chloe.
i thougt they were going to talk about the teams in pokemon go
I thought so too lol
But teams do matter.
N.H.Nisansa de Silva Nah
Ermine Reddock Joining a team in GO on the early booms gets you allies when taking gyms, since you get cash currency when occupying gyms, having more and better "teammates" would get you more cash currency
but joining a team is very important, it determines what area you can go to without getting lynched by a horde of angry people from another team.
the Bulbasaur bash hurt me
The amount of people defending Bulbasaur in the comments healed me
I mean, I laughed so hard when they said it
Bulbasaur didn’t deserve it, but it’s not entirely wrong early on
Bulbasaur was one of my pokemon catchers. It's powder moves and tankiness made it ideal for me to use. Also, it does well against Brock, Misty, Lt Surge, and Bruno. It's hardly as bad as they say. Its design just isn't as cool.

As much as it does look like no difference, the endings are very different:
- Die, control reapers, rebuild galaxy with reaper technology, new mass relays, galaxy same as before
- Die, merge synthetics and organics, everlasting peace, rebuild galaxy better than before, mass relays
- Chance of living, destroy all synthetics, kill geth, kill EDI, world same as before, no reaper technology, no mass relays, galaxy wide death
Is it Katachuu or Catch a jew?
The bioshock thing is an easter egg. the two images are one piece of an old classic Thumatrope toy. when spun it creates the image of a caged bird
Okay... is it bad that I researched this whole video to see how many times that facial hair switches?
*re-watched
Did you discover that that's two different people during your research?

"Or bulbasaur, because you like losing pokemon battles!"
that was the best thing I've ever heard *wipes away tears*

bulbasaur is the best starter tho, even in gen 6.
+Darth Nairdaa Lol yeah definitely.
bulbasaur is for people who actually want a challenge
Linnea Willis That would be charmander actually.
+Darth Nairdaa charmander can be used to clear brock's gym easily when you have iron claw, and rush the grass gym (i forget the leader's name)
Bioshock Infinite's message was that nothing you do matters anyway. *None* of its choices made any difference. Throwing the baseball at the interracial couple or the speaker or not at all, the bird or the cage, even heads or tails in a coin flip - that was deliberate and a major point of the game.
Kiba Bloodfang I consider them morality counters, they may not matter to the game, but at least I know my Booker isn't a racist ads hole, and would never put a poor girl into a cage, that's all brain damaged Booker.
Or.
They ran out of development time and made a shitty bioshock game then let players grasp at straws for something meaningful to the plot
Devon Montoya THANK YOU!!!
The fans try desperately to give the plot some sort of "meaning". or "message."
in reality. the message is there is no message, the meaning is there is no meaning.
now of course you can hide yourself behind that and claim but that is sooo deep.
what it is, is lazy.
no great plot. no depth. it is neither smart, nor genius, nor original.
they gave you a game, which offers, choices, and different paths just so they could tell you in the end.
"ha doesn't matter anyway!"
thats cheap, not genius.

-KickyFut, March 2019
I like how they said picking the grass type is bad even though venusaur is better then both charizard and blastoise.
Venusaur, and any other grass type for that matter, is shit on because grass type attack moves are trash, or at least were before Gen 4. Your strongest attack was Solarbeam which required either a turn to charge or a turn to use sunny day (and replacing a move with sunny day). Your next strongest move was Razor Leaf and it's piddly power of 55. Meanwhile Charizard got Flamethrower and Flame Blast and Blastoise got Skull Bash and Hydro Pump, all of those above 90 power. All of their stats are nearly identical with minor differences but nothing significant. Grass types in general have the most weaknesses tied with Rock, and many are dual types giving them even more weaknesses, and their attacks overall are weak and have many types which resist them, their only benefit being there are a lot of pokemon that are dual weak to the few types grass is effective against. Meanwhile Fire types have quite a few resistances and few weaknesses, though those weaknesses are very commonly used, but it's all made up for their immunity to burn and their great attack moves and great effectivenesses. Water types are much more balanced defensively and offensively, having a few key resistances but also having some key weaknesses, and same with their attack, also having great moves. Both get power boosts to all their respective attacks from weather, unlike grass which only gets one specific move boosted. Grass types are trash, though apparently that may have changed recently with gen 6, but it's historically been trash.
+EpicKaiserTom you just REKT the retards hard mate. GG
+EpicKaiserTom But in relation to what was said in the video. The girl said that Bulbasaur was the worst in Red and Blue. Wrong. He was by far the easiest starter for a big portion of the game.
She said you pick Bulabasaur if you like losing Pokemon battles Yes it is for Red BLue but Competitive battling is part of Red and Blue as well and we all battled our friends. She never specifically said you would be losing to NPCs, you probably do lose some but for the most part the game is easy and designed so kids can beat it.
You can beat the game easily with the worst Pokemon. I just completed a Yellow playthrough with Primape, Venamoth, Flareon, Pikachu, Poliwrath and Farfetch'd and it was pretty easy aside from the fact I challenged myself more by trying to catch all 151. Obviously some pokemon are missing but I used cheats to get them. I still caught all the ones I could and evolved them by leveling them up. So my party wasnt as high as they could have been if I didnt waste a lot of the XP there on all the pokemon I needed to evolve.
Stephen Brucculeri But she obviously was not talking about competitive. Considering she was talking about the choice between the three original starters in the original games.
And that still doesn't change the fact that in the original games, Red and Blue, Bulbasaur was by far the best for early game and getting momentum to get through the game.
Hey, OG Bulbassaur was OP as hell. leech seed and razor leaf were deadly even against fire types.
Keyword: was
Austin Gen I did preface it with OG, the new plant types all suck since they have the most disadvantageous types.
new plant types huh lol
Dk Soulstice I know what he meant, silly
Using exploits doesn't count.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Bulbasaur statistically the strongest Kanto starter? He has the advantage in 4 of the gyms, and only struggles when you hit the elite 4 (let's face it, what starter didn't have a bad time with them), Koga and Blaine towards the end (unaffected by most of Koga's arsenal from the Gen 3 remakes onward). Charmander is the one you pick to lose Pokemon. He gets destroyed by Brock, Misty, Surge, Sabrina, Giovanni and 3/4ths of the Elite 4. He's only strong against the grass gym mid game. By then you can have a flying type (even spearow/fearow) go to town on poor Erica without having to deal with the early and late. game struggles.
Based on typing and stats alone, Bulbasaur kicks ass in Kanto. Now if we we talking Johto...well...sorry Chikorita. Sorry about that. Just had to get that off my chest.
Chikorita has the worst stats of all starters.
I don't like most grass types only because of their move set, a lot of grass types have status effects, which are good, but I play the aggressive type, I always felt that the game tended to reward taking down your opponent fast more than the defense strategy. I normally pick fire types, mostly because they have an aggressive move set
And for some reason, some fire types can learn solar beam, the strongest grass move (I think), which is odd
Because you absorb energy from the sun... which is a giant ball of gaseous heat. Its a fire type-like move
+Joshua Rivera yeah, I know that, but I find it weird that the strongest grass move can be taught to fire type Pokemon
My experience with telltale games is that none of the choices matter. You can literally stop a villain's origin story from happening in the Batman one and they still become a villain anyway
ln t Except for Batman: The Enemy Within.
Technically its "villain or Vigilante" so yknow. If you cant stop someone, make sure they're on your side, all that.

what about Fallout 4, where no matter which faction you choose your son will die anyway ...

Spoiler Alert
Well yeah, I mean he has a terminal illness and flat out says he's going to die. I didn't really think I could prevent that.
"Or pick Bulbasaur because you like losing pokemon battles?" Maybe someone should tell Jane how stupidly good Bulbasaur was in Gen 1, since you can easily use him to clear every single gym and the Elite Four with ONLY him.
Yep i did it once
I agree, Gen one is saturated with fire and water types too. Bulbasaur, Lapris, growlithe, jolteon, and your choice of earth quaker, marowack, nidoking, dragonite, sandslash. and room for an HM slave, usually a flier.
exactly, Bulbasaur is great in Gen 1 against Brock and Misty and his leech seed was great to catch pokemon early on. She needs to shut her mouth and make a sandwich
bulbasaur actually is the best competitively
"with ONLY him", that works for literally any starter pokemon (except having charmander to fight Brock). I pretty much only use my starter the entire game, no matter who I choose. bulbasaur sucked compared to the others
Bioshock Spoilers: So here's the point of the brooch, and it's exactly what you touched on, and the significance is revealed there in that exact moment you commented on and said it might have been a mistake. It absolutely is not, and it's essential to the story, it IS the story, actually. The game is about a relationship, but the truth is that's all a mask for the real story about Parallel Universe Theory, and in that moment on the boat you are being told what's about to happen because you are with a completely different Elizabeth from a completely different timeline, only identifiable to you if you noticed that the brooch you gave her actually isn't the one you selected. It's not your Elizabeth, or not the Elizabeth that you have spent your game with. She's a product of different decisions creating alternate, divergent pathways. It's a teaser to the big reveal approaching the end of the story, that through every door in every lighthouse is a different outcome because one different decision was made somewhere in the line of decisions. It's actually monumentally bound to the entire theme of the game, that you made a choice, and that choice, while to you seems to be absolutely insignificant in every single way, created an alternate reality in which a parallel Booker picked a cage instead of a bird, with an infinite number of other different decisions on a divergent path in reality at every other turn of the game. And that's what brings you to the end, from your perspective something that was meaningless has actually created this path for you, this outcome you're living when there were an infinite number of other outcomes, and there you are sitting on a boat with a different Elizabeth teaching you this, all those different choices, different outcomes, and some of those divergent paths coming together to stop you from ever taking the baptism. But in the end, what she fails to see due to... well call it what you want, bias, blind drive to stop Comstock, missing the bigger picture, whatever you want, is that when she herself decides to kill you, another time line is created in which she decides not to, and nothing changes at all. That is the weight of that choice. It is nothing to you, but could be everything to the alternate reality you create alongside the choice. You picked the bird. But you also created a world in which you picked the cage. And that is true of every single thing you ever did in the entire game.
James Mitchener But the Elizabeth that is with you in the boat and at the lighthouse are the same one right? You're with them the whole time. So I think in this case that was just a mistake. The brooch does have a larger significance though, that you touch on. It does serve to show you that "your" Elizabeth isn't there, or at least it is heavily implied that she isn't, when you are drowned/'baptised' at the end.
As for the parallel universes I think you're a little off on that as well. I don't think that with each action a new universe is created in which something else happened, but rather these seperate continuities simply exist parallel to each other. Do you see what I mean? "They're a million million worlds. All different and all similar. Constants and variables."
But the REAL question is...
why would those companies give out seemingly expensive brooches for free?
The whole game's plot is complete ass anyway. Drowning Booker won't change anything because there will be a timeline where he's created anyway.
And if I chose to do nothing at the end, a third option presents itself ten seconds later.
Make fun of Bulbasaur all you want but I've never lost a battle playing with him and his evolutions so
sure..
Dr.CookiesNeedLoveLikeEverthingDoes But I don't
Gotta say that I never understood all the hate against bulbasaur. Only thing I'd heard besides opinions was one small essay on all the true advantages to picking bulbasaur and why he makes a good defensive meat tank. The thing that sold me on bulbasaur was how early I got poison powder and the fact that it's immune to poison.
...so you know how to pokemon, gj!
People have defeated the Elite 4 with nothing but a lvl 1 Rattata, let's not act as if Pokemon is this super hard game that takes the strongest Pokemon to beat it ;)
Also, objectively speaking, Squirtle is the "strongest"(most useful) of the 3, so even if you picked Bulbasaur because it has type advantage during the first 2 gyms, it's ONLY the first 2, and it's usefulness pales in comparison to Squirtle.
But in the end, we should follow what the games taught us: "Strong Pokémon. Weak Pokémon. That is only the selfish perception of people. Truly skilled Trainers should try to win with the Pokémon they love best." And if that's Bulbasaur, good for you! :)
I first picked Bulbasaur because I liked the look of it. The whole poison typing was a nice bonus because of the immunity to poison. I would definitely trade him out for a typing that gave an immunity or at least resistance to paralysis.
I don't know how you choose any decision in pokemon as the most useless. In most games you aren't even allowed to say no, even though they give you the option to.
I'm sorry but the line said at 8:00 has to be the worst voice acting in video game history

The decision in Bioshock Infinite is intentionally meaningless. "Constants and variables..."
I thought that it changed the types of items she brought back to you.
Yup, also while the brooch doesn't really effect gameplay it does effect how the player interprets the story. Looks like Outside Xbox should rewatch the ending with their brooch choice in mind. (There are no flukes with the brooch) ;D
Bioshock Infinite is intentionally meaningless?
Gotcha
TheDuckClock Yep. Bioshock Infinite is like a modern-art piece.
Daniel Wesley It also serves to show that "your" Elizabeth/AD isn't present when you're 'baptised' at the end. Still not entirely sure what the significance of that is though.

He made a decisions that actually had consequences
Those were two different people mate.
Keith David has been voicing Julius; the somewhat mentor of "The Boss" in Saints Row since the beginning. Him voicing himself is not as obscure as it is just the game breaking the fourth wall.
Illusion of choice is sometimes more valuable then meaningful choice. If you replay the games, sure you may be disappointed with the result, but more gamers will never know the choice was not important and we as gamers like it when games provide us with real choices (even if the results are cheated a little bit). In the old Pokemon games, you don't even know it's a hard choice and instead are stuck with whatever you pick unless someone tells you before you play to be careful.
Bruh
Pokemon Starter? Always choose fire, I do.
^_^
Mine has jumped from gen to gen.
Red: Charmander, beat E4, new game, Squirtle, get walled at E4, new game, Bulbasaur, beat E4, caught Mewtwo. This is also the only generation where I reset my game.
Gold: Totodile. Feraligatr was my first Lv100.
Ruby: Mudkip for slight metagame; my brother picked Cyndaquil in Silver and I thought he'd grab Torchic in Sapphire. He instead got Treecko.
Diamond: Piplup. Fire ass is stupid. Infernape is great, but Chimchar is still srsly wat
Heart Gold: Totodile. By now my Gold cart had died and I wanted my Lv100 Feraligatr back. I eventually did get him back ... along with raising 8 other Lv100s.
Black One: Tepig. Oshawott didn't wrap back around to awesome for me. Snivy didn't garner my love either, but at the same time it didn't garner my hate.
Black 2: Tepig again.
White 2: Snivy, wanted something different from Tepig for Challenge Mode.
Y: Fennekin and Bulbasaur. Picks geared towards dealing with the Fairy type. Delphox is the only Kalos starter not weak to Fairy, and Venusaur is super effective. Didn't matter in the end, though, because I ended up overleveled and decided to sic a Lv78 Eviolite Doublade on Diantha's Mega Gardevoir.
Omega Ruby: Treecko. Tried to metagame here, thinking the Blazikenite event in XY would mean fewer Torchics. Also, Mudkip meme is trash.
Sun: Rowrowlet. *FIGHT THE POWER!*
now mine:
Yellow: I never played Red nor Blue simpely because I didn't want to let either charmander, squirtle or bulbasaur down
Gold: Cyndaquil, didn't really love the options
Ruby: Treecko
Diamond: Turtwig, Torterra was OP and overleveled in my file, where all my other Pokémon were weak (except the starters a bit, made a trading deal with my little brother for us both to have all 3)
BlackWhite: Oshawott/Snivy: Damn I loved Oshawott, partly bc of the anime, and Snivy was awesome too. Didn't realy love tepig, nor hate it. Decent Pokémon, but chanceless for me as the starter
Y: First I chose Grass, but just because of Greninja I switched after a reset.
Sun: Though choice, I mean well Water wouldn't stand a chance at all (although eventually I got all 3 again), but Litten won the battle over Rowlet
Grass all the way except for Totodile because no matter how much I love grass types, Chicorita is way too stupid.
sorry but every choice in the walking dead were usless save luke nope still dead,save nick nah he only had one extra line then dies, help christa she gets stabbed in the ass really no difference in the choices
and yeah most of the season 1 choices were useless
stabbed in the ass xD
Yeah, there with the tractor at the fence, I actually restarted the game to try the other option, and we still got kicked off the farm. Might as well save the kid.
To be honest I dont get why everyone hops on the "I hate Bulbasaur" bandwagon. Sure he is not too strong against charizard, but honestly he is great for most of the game.
Splish splash ur opinion is trash
yeah (not the first comment to this comment)
Huh, thought you were going with the "Cut off Lee's arm or naw"
Same with Game of Thrones. There were definitely more choices that made me want to tear my hair out. Sure, Ethan's death was shocking at first, but feels less and less relevant as the story progresses.
I feel like Telltale doesn't really know how to handle their stuff.
Cutting off Lee's arm at least changes a bit of the dialogue when he sees Clementine again... Saving Travis or David changes one model in a cutscene. No dialogue or story changes at all.
"I feel like Telltale doesn't really know how to handle their stuff."
Yep. I bought both Walking Dead titles when they were on sale. I played the first Walk Dead and haven't started number two, because I know most of the choices won't matter.
They already did that in top 6 hardest choices in gaming (that you'll get wrong anyway.)
@@BrotherAlpha The problem is that when you fork the story that means twice as much work later.... repeatedly. Become Human's solution to the problem was to have a series of missions that only loosely connect to the big picture. Thus they could write 20 ways to play each mission and not worry about how you did it later. If there's 20 possible endings to a story mission and the game needs to remember that later? Heh, people wonder why Bethesda games have bugs? It's because inside the code is a Gordian knot of quest logic that tracks details that the player doesn't even know exist.
Jane, please, stop... "Badass fire attacks"? Against whom? Charmander was useless in generation one and the worst starter, first GYMs were totally immune to fire (rock and water), and the last GYM was fire type, so even fully maxed out Charizard was no good. Besides, Bulbasaur has biggest defense stats from the starter trio, even bigger speed than Blastoise xD he smashed first GYMs, and in the endgame he destroys Elite Four as Venusaur. The only problem could be with fire gym in the end of the game, but who cares? You had plenty of time to catch and train many water Pokemon. And i know that Charmander was buffed in gen3, but still makes not so much of a difference and she was talkin' about our "childhood". Bulbasaur is the best Kanto starter.
And by the way, the most popular type in Kanto region in gen 1 is ... Water type, which makes Charmander even more useless xD
Bulbasaur is super easy mode for the first few gyms. Squirtle is easy mode for the game. Charmander is the choice of trainers who actually like a challenge and want the best Pokémon.
Kay it is more than the first two gyms with Bulbasaur though.
First two gyms sure, Squirtle is still great. But then you get to the electric gym. Bulbasaur is still good. Squirtle is not. Then you got the grass gym... Bulbasaur isn't directly bad against it. It is also poison type secondary so it isn't so bad against the grass types. Then the poison gym... Poison can't poison poison. That bulba is part poison type. Still good against the gym. It isn't until the psychic gym that Bulasaur is not wise to use. And it is also not wise to use him against the fire gym. But then the final gym, what is it? GROUND. Super effective.
So Bulbasaur with all it's resistances and very little weaknesses and the fact that it is good at the START of the game rather than any other time, says it is the best. But wait- there's more! Venasaur can oneshot most of the elite 4's pokemon. First one uses ice types but they are all with the exception of Jinx, also water types. The second there is a onix. Venasaur sn't bad against fighting types. The third who has ghost, he will struggle with. But Venasaur isn't weak to Ghosts or poison types that she has. Final. Dragon. Garados? Yeah bye. And toxic leach seed the frig out of Dragonite. Dragonite shoudl be the only real struggle for Venasaur.
Bulbasaur is the best choice because literally every match up is easy street. Charmander is choosing hard mode.
Also, if you think you are grabbing Squirtle for surf- you are making a terrible choice because before you need to surf you are GIVEN a lapras in the game and Lapras is better than Blastoise.
Squirtle is not easy mode. It is medium. Both Squirtle and Charmander wont be good against the elite 4. Bulbasaur is good against 6/8 gyms and the elite 4.
even now venasaur has one of the best mega evolutions because it give him the ability thinks fat, which negates his fire type weakness, and he's also an amazing fairy killer. with mega charizard y/z being clone behind.
+Darth Nairdaa thick Fat* auto correct.
lol I knew the SR IV choice would be in here. I knew it would mean nothing, but I was actually puzzling at that one for a good 20 seconds.
Exactly the same. Chose to cure cancer just because it said "Fuck Cancer" :P
Oh, I chose world hunger. I mean, shouldn't we get everyone one the same basic level of health first? :/
+InfinityAlex let them eat cake :)
i choser world hunger. curing cancer is meaningless. there are so many types aswell as other diseases and ailments. curing world hunger though thats an all encompassing solution.
The Until Dawn decision actually does have an impact on the story later down the line, it's just not an immediate result. That's kind what the game means by mentioning the butterfly affect at every corner.
I don't know about anyone else but bulbasaur was and still is my favorite starter pokemon
gulu 123 same
Devin Clark
Your daddy lesbian
Lapis Gerentis your daughter a father
Yup its my tank pokemon.
Bulbasaur was the most logical as the first 2 gyms were weak to grass types
in infamouse one you can choose to save trish or save 10 doctors but either way trish still dies, its bs
Clayton Murrell it's apart of character development and Keslers plan to make Cole a killing machine to fight the beast.
@@blakechandler167 still dumb though
I made the decision to watch this while pooping, it was a really great decision, 10/10, can recommend.

I made the decision to hold in a shit in order to watch this. 0/10 just bring the laptop into the bathroom with you.
DUDE I WATCHED IT WHILE SHITTING TOO I'M STILL SHITTING NOW!
wait do you know bulbasuar is the best starter in pokemon red and blue
This whole video could be made with Telltale Games choices.
More like every decision in life is strange. Nothing mattered
(+Rae Malone) Technically, your decisions can make it easier or harder to progress later, but yes, in the end only your final one matters.
I'd like to think the decisions were shaping max more than the world around her. In a save Arcadia bay ending, max still has the memories of everything that happened, and the save Chloe ending was ambiguous enough about just how destroyed the town was that other people could still be effected by the rest of your choices.
Nothing matters if you choose to sacrifice Chloe, and even then if you save her all your decisions in the past were either redone in different rewinds or were only important in hindsight, considering that the new game they're making will have new protagonists.
Or deltarune
That is a damned lie. I'd be a lot more violent now if I had not decided when I was younger to be that type of person.
I used Bulbasaur and he won me most of my battles 😂
*MOST*
Yeah most. I had a pretty sick Team so I had to use the other ones every once in a while and level them up 😂
Rick Sanchez oi fuck off, bulbasaur is just as good as squirtle and charmander
Bulbasuar was the best
Mine is a tank whenever i use one
The hardest decision for Pokémon go was picking ur faction, mystic instinct and valor
DW Fro instinct, fight me.
science proves that mystic is the best team due to
*insert game theory video script here*
Mystic and valor is “non stop power grr” and the Instinct I don’t even know what he said. I was joking. Do not get upset
team valor 4ever
But that one proved vitally important when the war of the factions broke out. Who knew letting people join yellow, red and blue gangs and giving them biological weapons to fight for coins and "stardust" could ever go so wrong?
13:30 The videos are literally the same at this time.
Yeah but do you want the one on the left or the one on the right? Important life decision!
Actually, one's a video and one's a playlist.
+Astfgl I chose left
Playlist loads the same video, later it will change, maybe, probably, meh.
Sam White You chose... poorly.
One of the hardest decisions that makes no difference is whether you play Pokemon Go.
I don't think Saint's Row 4 should be on here, considering it doesn't take itself seriously at all and that choice was obviously taking the piss.
“Or Bulbasaur because you like losing battles”
Really just roasted my boi Bulbasaur like that-
The until dawn choice of killing josh or that girl made no difference too. Also, it has been proven that bulbasaur is the best starter of gen 1 and that Charmander is the worst choice
There's the choice in Dragon Age Inquisition, where you have the weighty choice between seeking the help of the Mages, or the Templars. The group you do not seek out disappear. And the literal only effect this has is whether it's Dorian or Cole who'll be comin' round the mountain when he comes - right in front of a huge army to pound you and your settlement into a fine, smushy paste. Same army, too.
at least you get morrigan narrating what happened to the mage and templar in the end and it also affects the ending for the tresspassers dlc
That's not entirely true. Depending on which faction you choose you have two completely different main missions (Champion of the Just or In Hushed Whispers) and two very different side stories after reaching skyhold dealing with either Calpernia (Under Her Skin) or Samson (Before the Dawn). So while the battle at Haven is exactly the same, the actual missions and the potential aftermath don't exactly warrant it a place on the list. A better example would have been whether or not to help Anders in DA2 ;)
Whether you do Leliana's quest or Cullen's is hardly a consequential decision, just a bit of slightly different gameplay. Both still take you to the exact same ending.
That's no different from origin. Templars or mages, you still need to kill the arch demon. Compared to the entries on the list, however, the differences are still much bigger in that it actually has an effect in how the game plays out and what end you get, just as lqbalx1 points out.
Like every choice in Life is Strange leading to the last choice...
(Insert bulbasaur is actully amazing and highly underrated comment here)
Squirtle was the bad starter in gen 1 :p Bulbasaur had the best stats of any grass type.
And also beat most of the gyms easier then charmander that would almost get 1-shot unless he is 10 levels above them
You forgot that part in Dragon Age two when you have to join the Mercenary or Smugglers but other then some miner difreses it dos not inpacet the rest of the story at all. .
I hate it when decisions don't inapecet the story
I hate when miners difrese my stuff.
I hate it when people capitalise words for no reason
+Red Floyd that was kind of the point
Yeah but that's not presented as a life-or-death decision in the first place. It's just "which dodgy lowlife are you going to spend time working for", not "Who of my friends am I going to sacrifice to death or a fate worse than death". The Dragon Age decision that didn't matter that I spent most time agonizing about was the one from Origisn where in the Mage origin you have to decide to either betray your closest friend to a fate worse than death, or be a complete moron and go along with a plan which might get him away, but will certainly get you caught in the following investigation because you left a paper trail pointing right at you.
That is some seriously fast beard growth at the end
Ok... Ok... BULBASAUR IS THE BEST STARTER BY EXPERTS! ITS THE BEST STARTER IN COMPETITIVE BATTLING!!
I've been battling against others for a while now and I can say one thing: my Charmander starter (eventually Charizard) destroyed the competition.
87Oscar87 Charmander ftw best starter
chamander ftw it never loses as charard or its mega
Diamond Dragon of doom
>uses Stone Edge
Whoops, I slipped. =P
Back off Bulbasaur haters!!!!
That Wolfenstein one was pretty meaningful by videogame standards. It changes the NPCs around you, the perks you get, and that robot at the end (haven’t played it). Less meaningful choices: Every romance option in every BioWare and Bethesda title. Your choice at the end of Mass Effect 3. Choosing not to continue at the beginning of any number of games that ultimately force you to continue anyway.
i stopped watching after they said bulbasaur sucked, what ever they have to say is now invalid.
Nah, they have good poits after that. #TeamBulbasaur
My fav starter damnit
Andy I heard Nathan did not help you in watch dogs 2 is this true?
+Brandon Grant He approached the mission in a... unique style.
+outsidexbox unique... that's not what I would say it was Andy. it was more clusterfuckish
+outsidexbox Jane I like you :)
+outsidexbox Nathan Ditum??? As in the dude from PS access??
Jack Rathert yeah that guy
technically stat-wise, bulbasaur Iis the best starter
KiwiGames No.
He has look it up on UA-cam, a guy did videos for the best starter
He has look it up on UA-cam, a guy did vCardvideos for the best starter
(+Black Panther) Most competitively viable. So sort of. It’s stats, moves, and typing together make it the strongest. Along with the first two gyms losing typing-wise and the fact that 70% of gen 1 is water, it’s definitely the best.
hence why bulbasuar is easy, squirtle would be medium and charmander would be hard difficulties lol.
this video gets a dislike because you hated on my boi bulbasaur :(
Same man, bulbasaur is by far the best pokemon, and the cutest
Unstopablness in generation one bulbasaur was the only starter with any place in competitive battling being a niche pick to counter amnesia users in particular slowbro. Speed also improved crit rate gen one and amnesia raised both special attack and defense since they were one stat so slowbro would wreck your team if it got set up and you didn’t have venasaur. Fire type sucked until skarmory existed and didn’t become a good type until there were enough really threatening Pokémon that had 4 times weak to fire ( scizor was first then gen five introduced ferrothorn which could hold its own in Uber’s if all users of fire type moves were defeated excaliviar who was a beast in trick room heck even Durant could cause problems by giving you truant. Also genesect existing was a nice buff to fire type to make them good but not excellent. And blastoise was just outclassed by starmie slowbro and lapras.
Unstopablness so you pick bulbasaur if you want to battle competitively you pick squirtle if you are speed running and you just suck if you pick charmander because he was objectively the worst starter in generation one ( even if he was the coolest)
Unstopablness
This comment gets a dislike because you hated on my boi Andy :(
Jigglypuff is the best BTFO
Pokemon GO? A game? HAH, outside Xbox, you never cease to amuse me
You should of did the choice to chop lee's arm off or not for the walking dead choice
Eh, while it had the same result it does teach you through breaking down that fourth wall that chopping off the bitten part is useless.
Because you can see both end results you know that fact, and potentially you could make a better decision in the future.
Potentially, maybe in Season 3 that choice could have an effect on Clementine's choice. Maybe if you didn't cut, Clementine will cut her or someone else's limb off without your input. If you do cut, Clementine could have the option to either cut or not because she has witnessed it, thus meaning that decision in Season 1 did have an effect.
So now I have just given you two reasons that that decision is actually valid. A, you are educated on how bites work and B, because of the way Walking Dead is made, most decisions can have a future impact.
+Evil Paragon 2
It isn't useless cutting off the bitten part. It works in the show and the comics
Ricky909 Perhaps then it just shows that it was useless in Lee's case because he went so long without having it cut off.
I know that in the show they pretty much cut off things like that instantly.
Really gotta get around to reading the comics...
Evil Paragon 2
Yeah it seems hit and miss
You really should, the comics are amazing imo
I think the implication was Lee died from exerting himself so much to save clem if you cut it off rather than the infection. After amputations you are supposed to rest lol
One like = one Bulbasaur taken to poke-heaven (instead of forever alone land) come at me Charmander fans
Blue Space Ice Bulbasuar has gotten better, but at first he was trash.
313 Pyro I didn't know Bulbasaur was the Kanto fire starter type.
CGKase 👏👏👏
"Bulbasaur because you like losing pokemon battles " LMAO
WHAT DO MEAN SHEPARDS HAIR STYLE DOESN'T MATTER.how are you supposed pick up asari with a bad hair cut
I pick up Garrus
funny with bulbasaur I never lost one fight
Shoots fired at bulbasaur
Every choice in the War Within quest in Warframe. Each decision turns you either towards the Sun alignment, or the Moon alignment, or is Neutral. Each question gives you a moral dilemma about how you would act in the situation, with minimal information, and has no effect on gameplay whatsoever. It usually took me at least a minute for each of the dozen or so choices, which, in the end, didn't matter at all.
