So depressing how quickly developers will throw out a franchise these days.

common guys, Nintendo doesn't do things at money lost for anything. Of course the compensation is less then eventful (really, it depends on the last 10 games they announce) though, those GBA games look pretty good IMO.

You make it sound like I would become Geralt The Witcher, which is a pretty easy choice for me.

His example already makes you the Witcher in the first place.

"Give up your humanity". What does that even mean? Does someone in a wheelchair give up their humanity? What about someone with a prosthetic leg? These are people using technology to improve the quality of their lives. If the technology existed that would increase performance far beyond the norm, then why shouldn't someone do it?

I see no moral problem with such augmentations. It only comes down to weighing the pros and the cons.

Unless I was a soldier I would see little need for physical improvements, but if I could safely implant a chip in my head that would improve my mental function? Absolutely I would do it. Imagine downloading a foreign language and instantly being able to speak like a native speaker. That would be amazing.

Pretty much what this guy said.

Don't let Hollywood and Christian/Purist propaganda cloud your judgment. There is no such thing as "giving up" your humanity. Your body does not make you human; your conscience and memories do. As long as those are intact, and I still look humanoid, then hell yeah, I would augment the fuck out of myself.

Do they have all feeling in their augmentations?

So, lets play pretend. 
 
You are in the best health of your life. You have no conditions and your heredity shows you are not at risk for anything major. You're well fit and have excellent reflexes. You are smart, and pretty much the ideal human. As close as a human could get. Yep, a human.
 
But, what if you could be more. What if you could be augmented. You've been tested, and you have a incredibly high chance of accepting the augmentations with little issues. But....would you do it.
 
Would you give up basically your humanity, your 'purity' to become something more then a man was ever intended to do. Extend you life close to immortality. Stronger, faster, smarter, more capable then any other human could be. 
 
Let ignore for a moment the whole government controlling you, the drug addiction, and various other issues that are brought up in Dues Ex: Human Revolution. This is strictly a human vs. augmentation contemplation. So, would you remove yourself from humanity to become something....different, but possibly greater?
 
As for me, if I was in that situation, yes. Even if you included all those other factors (gov, drugs, etc). I still do it, if only for my chance to live longer and see what the world will become.

@SomeDeliCook: I agree, self sacrifice is noble, but as you already mentioned, organ donors give their consent, babies who die due to complications or abortion didn't give theirs, nor obviously could they.

Did you know that if a John or Jane Doe is found and nobody finds out after a certain time who they are, they use them in med schools? People being against some random crap and cherrypicking what they don't like always amazes me.

I watched the Quick Look, and still have no idea what you do in that game.

yeah, but its a pretty tight schedule
 
here is one
