And in so killing these colossi may have serious or catastrophic consequences the likes of which you cannot possible fathom? Assume you have the means, and capability of slaying these massive creatures.
You get your one true love back again.. but would it be worth the cost to you in the end?
Basically the what would you choose? Save the world or save the one you love most?
INSPIRED BY the MASTERPIECE OF A GAME SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS
^^^^ Listen to this loud!
Yes I would do whatever it took to get my true love back again!
No even though I want my true love again the cost of doing so is far to great
I would certainly try to kill those innocent colossus but i'd likely fail resulting in saving neither the world or my lover again

Would YOU murder 16 innocent Colossi if it guaranteed that your lover would be resurrected from death?
There is no 'true love' so why would I commit such a huge sin to murder INNOCENT people? Like everything, love also dies one day, PEOPLE CHANGE, your lover's feelings can fade and they might not even give you the world, so there's no reason to save a snowflake at the cost of even 1 life. If it were that RARE TRUE love (which is impossible to find) then definitely I would have only cared about my lover.
Hmmm I can't answer this one.. What's to say your true love wants to come back... My hubby is gone and it saddens me, but he's no longer in pain and suffering like he was for years...
yes it is truly a conundrum/ this game just leaves you with this question.
also when you beat the game you are met with this feeling of almost dread even thoughh you got your love back again... like you feel like you just lit the match that will spark a catastrophe. its such a crazy game.
I'll have to play it sometime (it was free on PSN) but the protagonist *should* feel bad in my opinion.
I can sympathize with the attitude of doing whatever it takes to keep you and your loved ones alive, but there must be some sanity to it.
Could I kill 16 innocent lives? I already eat to live, that's murder. But I don't murder anything else knowingly, all in the name of balancing survival & empathy.
I really think I ought to make some time to play this game.
But to answer your question; Yes I would murder 16 titanic creatures to bring back the one I love the most (and who loves me). Even as a child who believed in "the one", I have always sided with movie/game/TV "villains" who were driven by love, and good guys who did morally questionable things for love ( e. g. Mr. Freeze in Batman, and Gabriel in the Castlevania:Lords of Shadow game).
The idea that someone would sacrifice everything, even the world for a person they love holds a moving level of romance to me. An outsider looks at it as silly but to you, this person is literally more important than everyone and everything else. I would be deeply moved and honoured to know that my partner held me in such high regard, despite any external consequences.
You said innocent so no, definitely not. My pretend lover would not look at me the same if I did, considering I don't like any innocent suffering and he wouldn't either.
Pretty much. One could sit here and try debate how it's justified thing to do, or it's not justified. But in this case i couldn't care to debate about it nor try to justify it for myself. Simply i just would do anything to get her back. How other's see me i wouldn't ever be thinking about that. My mind is on her. Love is selfless but only to those you love, everyone else be dammed to selfishness. eh maybe that line was justifying it but not my intention lol.
Shouldn't that be colossuses rather than colossi since its of greek not latin origin? I've heard they're really terrible grammar nazis. Why do people have to keep killing giants? They should be a protected species to stop stuff like.
so even if that might mean you incidentally cause a catastrophe to happen to the rest of the human race?
So in the game i mention here you go on and slay all 16 of these huge creatures. during the course of it you slowly start to feel like you are not the hero but could in fact be a villain. because a number of the colossi will not attack you unless you start attacking them. making you think these creatures might be totally innocent. so towards the end when you beat them all you revive the woman that the guy loves but you see all these guys on horse back rush into the land and start to wonder if you may have done something terrible. although the game never exactly tells you what you did by killing them all.
So you save your true love but it might come at a terrible catastrophic cost that you have no idea about.
so yeah long winded comment but given all this, would you still go through it all to revive your true love?
Never. I never want to bring a loved one from the dead. As painful as it is, their soul is supposed to rest now and there is nothing that can change that.
If I am strong/rich enough to kill Colossi then I likely wouldn't be scared of the consequences of killing these colossi. However, I've seen about 10 minutes of gameplay from that game and don't know anything about the story so...
yeah the game isn't forthcoming about it either. all thats important to your character is that these colossi are whats standing in his way from his woman being alive again. but in the process you see that these huge creatures seem innocent and after you kill them all you see a cutscene of official looking people on their horses galloping into this abandoned land. it just leaves you with a sense of dread that you may have done something terrible but the game never tells you what exactly you did.
