10 Video Game Decisions You Immediately Regret Making

8. Cancer Or World Hunger (Saints Row IV)

Volition's GTA killer Saints Row: The Third ends on a mighty high for the eponymous gang, as The Boss and co. declare their native Steelport an independent republic under their purple-soaked purview. By the start of Saints Row IV, things have somehow gotten even better for the 3rd Street Saints: the Boss and his associates have thwarted nuclear annihilation, and he now finds himself installed in the Oval Office as President of the United States.

Unfortunately, not everything is quite going to plan. Approval ratings are through the floor for the POTUS with the mostus, whilst conversely unemployment is skyrocketing. Life's tougher than our put-upon Pres. imagined, and as he's sweating down the halls of the White House, an eager congressman comes at him with another impossible choice: cure cancer, or solve world hunger?

The 'playa' can only pick one of the two bills: 'F*ck cancer' or 'Let them eat cake'. No matter which they choose, they'll walk away knowing they just signed several thousand people to a preventable death. At the very least you get to ease the stress by 'punching a d*ckhead' a few steps later.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
