10 Hard Video Game Decisions You Immediately Regretted

TellTale's magnum opus, The Walking Dead, although being easily the peak of their storytelling abilities, also suffered from their biggest weakness - that being that choices often don't carry nearly the weight the game tries very hard to convince you they do. And nowhere is that more obvious than in the infamous scene where Lee has to chop off his own arm.

Without spoiling too much, Lee ends up getting infected via a bite to his arm. The only way he's going to avoid becoming a zombie is if he removes the source of the infection and fast. You are then presented with the choice of either toughing it out, or biting the bullet and just chopping off Lee's arm.

At this point in the story, this game has thoroughly trained you with a "desperate times, desperate measures" mentality, so most players will likely go with just chopping off the arm.

The kicker here is that doing this changes literally NOTHING. The ending is unchanged regardless of your choice here, so cutting off Lee's arm is completely pointless.
