PixelatedGamer.com writes, "Generally the bad guy in video games are always frowned upon, although you do feel some hatred towards the character it's usually more fun to play as the evil protagonist, Alex Mercer in no different. Mercer doesn't care who's in his way he will go through them to find more out about his life and the situation he finds himself in as well as the state of New York City finds itself in. Through Mercer's disregard for humanity, it seems to be much easier to enjoy the game. Let me explain myself, generally, in games, the good guy always has to save civilians, make sure they don't harm the innocent an occasionally choose whether to be good or bad. Not having to bother about this allows you to charge through streets and roads causing as much destruction as you'd like."
From Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and Batman: Arkham City to breakout hit Dispatch and new Marvel Cosmic Invasion, these are 10 of the best superhero games you can play today.
Not all video game protagonists are sweet, jolly, or wholesome. Folks like Agent 47 are cold, ruthless, and reserved and it shows.
I'd like to believe Joel's situation is more about turning into a calloused survivor in a cold-hard world who may have made selfish decisions. Not inherently ruthless.
Ah, fond memories of strangling all the people in their hotel rooms in Hitman 1
Lara Croft, Nathan Drake etc, cos they pretend to be the good guys but are mass murderers that show no remorse.
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
its a good game for players who want to feel like a bad as$
i give it 7.5/10 .
yes, it definately makes you feel badass :)
