Gaming

I absolutely hate that concept, as even when, or especially if, it matters, it's in the most cookie-cutter binary in-your-face kind of way, literally "(a) eat baby (b) safe baby".

I don't mind choice in games, but it should be actual choice, i.e. you do things because you want to do them, not because you think they will make the story go to the "good ending" or worse yet, be forced on you to stay on the good path, as the game is only build for good and bad path and everything in the middle is just mechanically broken.

The best choices in games are fully mechanics driven or just cosmetic, though that's pretty damn rare in narrative games. In most games choice is generally just bad and annoying, as you aren't focused on the actual game or story, but on what the writer might consider to be the "good way".

That good old fragile "suspension of disbelief" gets shattered by choice systems very very easily.
