Five games that make it more fun to be evil

Why waste time basking in the love of adoring fans when you can just kill all of them with a really cool weapon? Here are five titles where it's better to be the bad guy.

I always have trouble playing a full-on evil character in games. Just can't do it for some reason.

I think being bad makes you care less and you miss out more. I always have to play good the first time. Also, in some games like Fallout New Vegas, I play such a middle grown and try to please everyone so long as to not cross any lines.

THR1LLHOUSE5254d ago

The only way I can really be a bad guy in a video game is if I plan out some kind of arc or backstory beforehand. For example, before I played Mass Effect (near the time ME2 came out, so I knew my actions would be important later) I decided that my Shep would be suffering through a gradual Darth Vader-esque fall from grace.

Or in Skyrim, my dark elf Harold Bloodshadow is lashing out at all of Tamriel's anti-dunmer racists. He just hates them so!

I will never, ever earn any achievement titled "Pacifist." Unless it's highly ironic.

What's so funny about these type of games that have the morality meter like InFamous, Fable, etc. is it is actually harder to play as a good guy. It's harder to not kill everyone onsite or aim for an enemy and not hit any innocent bystanders.

That is why I usually go the path of the angels, way more of a challenge.

I even managed to finish Festival of Blood's story sucking less than ten civilians. And eight of them were mistakes, hitting the wrong button too close to a passerby.

Always pick the evil side. Symbiote spiderman, jedi dark side, evil cole etc... I get to be good in real life so why not be evil in a virtual world.

Loved the first 3 games and spent way too much time on them.

Fonsecap124d ago

If they keep that ugly ass protagonist they can count me out... Don't have to be Stellar Blade level because it would even fit the mood of the game, and frankly it is a bit exaggerated, but could be at least presentable.

Reaper22_124d ago

Its not that big of a deal. You make it sound like you have to date the character.

ravens52124d ago

You know ugly people exist right

bionicstar124d ago

you know that ugly people still want to look at beautiful women.

SGT_Squirrel124d ago

I hope the do away with the main characters model. It is ugly and looks neither male nor female which is disgusting. It may prevent me from purchasing it is really a product of woke bs.

Reaper22_124d ago

So your desicion to buy this game is based on politics. Sad.

AuraAbjure124d ago

I won't get hyped because I got hyped for Perfect Dark and I saw what happened there. Perfect Dark would have been freakin sweet.
