"Your choices matter" was always a meme. True gameplay freedom is only found in a handful of non-cinematic titles such as early Fallout games.

Also forgot to throw in
>Shadow of Memories consists of eight endings, with six available at first. The last two must be unlocked by achieving the first six
Western games are too in love with their writing to offer multiple choices.

>holding up a CYOA-style game like Way of the Samurai that constantly locks you into cutscenes and rigid, pre-scripted branches as a positive example of branching narrative
Something like Fallout is a lot more interesting, since it gives you complete gameplay freedom to mess with the game world in any way you wish.
