Spongebob bet his soul that Krabs wouldn’t sell Spongebob’s soul to the Flying Dutchman for a couple of bucks, so the FD tells him to pick between Spongebob and all the money in FD’s pocket. Krabs answers that it depends on the amount, and he votes to take the money when he finds out the amount is 62¢.
Some franchises i stay away from because it’s too long for me to start from square one, others because they seems way to complicated and not in the right areas. Digimon is the latter and the last piece of it i imbibed was from the ‘sleuth’ games, and the mission frankly horrified me.
@WyrmSpawN
Which mission? And to be fair, the World games are very complex, sometimes requiring you to look stuff up (and in the first game’s case, even the guides are wrong about most things).
@Meanlucario
The one where someone is tricking people into I guess what counts as organ harvesting, with people’s entire bodies as the organs. We find out its happening, fail momentarily to convince the guy that something is wrong, get mere seconds of him realizing his consciousness is stuck is the Net Space and his body beyond retrieval, and the game basically brushes it off and expects us to march on.
Disturbed me so hard, i barely remember the rest of the game up to that point.
@WyrmSpawN
Yeah, that was a very fucked up mission. And as people pointed out, the reason it’s so disturbing is how realistic it is. Just give humans the technology and they will do messed up things like that.
So you don’t remember that your body is data and that’s why you can literally jump into cyberspace?
@WyrmSpawN
While we’re talking about fucked up missions in Digimon, let me talk about Hacker’s Memory, the side story of Cyber Sleuth. I’ll argue that it has more “realistic” missions than Cyber Sleuth, but also it’s own sudden fucked up mission. In it, you are trying to figure out how suddenly an entire class is getting As overnight. Basically, they have tiny experimental computers installed onto them that lets the class nerd control them while they are goofing off on a server. The day after you discover and eavesdrop on them, he snaps, have the entire class (whose’ consciousness is trapped on the server he’s hosting) go to the roof of the school and jump. It’s revealed that you and your boss actually disabled his connection and wrote a program showing what they expected him to do while the actual bodies are motionless in the classroom. They’re alive, but need a lot of therapy.
I think these missions are in these games because the writers know that they are targeting an older audience, and are willing to write darker moments and stories.
