GOOD games where you are the villain Anonymous 06/03/2024 (Mon) 14:45:44 Id: ac0bc1 No. 974994
I not talking about games where you're a misunderstood "villain" who turns out to be the "good guy" only because of plot reasons. I mean games where you're an unapologetic evil person and the game doesn't try to shy away or ridicule the player for it. The reason I bring this up is beause I've been recently thinking about the games released during the late seventh gen, like Spec Ops: The Line and Bioshock Infinite, where the games outright ridicule the player for having played the game all the way to the end with a message that the player needs to "kill himself" in order to "atone" for the "sin" of having played a violent video game where you kill NPCs, and just how disgusting the entire concept of. Why make a game where you "trick" the player into playing the game the way you wanted them to play it, and then ridicule the player for having played the game exactly the way you wanted them to play it? So how about listing off some games where you are the villain, the game doesn't feel guilty over that fact, and the developers have fun with the player taking on the role of being a bad person doing bad things?

Don't know if he's really the villain, since I haven't gotten too far into the story yet. For now I'm just having fun shambling around eating cops and pedestrians - so close enough. Nice sense of humor, responsive controls, great art style and retro-futuristic setting. The biggest complaint I have so far is that health regenerates, so if you ever get into trouble - just back up and command your zombie horde to attack the enemies. Would have been better if the game forced you to eat brains to regain health. Maybe it does force you to do that on higher difficulties, but I just started on Normal mode to see if it was worth a full playthrough.
>>980479 You're going to rely a lot on Stubb's detachable hand and stun fart on higher difficulties which requires eating brains to recharge and there are later sections where you can barely a form a horde due to how sparse the area is or the enemies having better defenses. Stubbs is the mayor's father and the whole game is a journey to reunite with the mayor's mother and turn her into a zombie.
>>980479 Stubbs isn't exactly the villain as much as he is a force of Nature, as the story progresses you get the idea that the ones who built Punchbowl kind of had this coming due to Karma... That being said A lot of innocent people are caught in the crossfire so Stubbs isn't a good guy either.
>>974994 What about games where you can fuck the villain?

There are two examples where you're playing an outright villain. 1. Saints Row 2 You're playing a violent and ambitious criminal mastermind looking to control your hometown and murdering anyone and everyone in your way. You're fiercely loyal to your crew, and them to you. My favorite moment in the game is when you coldly watched your best friend brutally beat a teenager at a cemetery for interrupting his wife's funeral and helped him put the kid into a recently emptied casket and bury him alive. 2. Final Fantasy Tactics Advance You're trapped in a final fantasy themed world along with your friends and your families. The world is a place where all of your friends are happier, healthier, and have a sense of purpose. But it's escapism, and you're determined to destroy the illusion and get them to face reality. In doing so, you have to destroy the world. As for games where you were the bad guy all along (Bioshock Infinite, Spec Ops: The Line, TLOU2) are straight railroading, pure and simple. They admonish you for wanting to see how the story ends and call you a monster for "being a murderer". You are given no choices of getting through the game non-lethally. You're only allowed to run and hide, which doesn't change the ending or make you less of a monster. People get to crit health and start begging for their lives. If you do spare them, they get back up and try to kill you. The game screams at you to use the White Phosphorus and tells you THERE'S NO OTHER WAY. So you do. Then the game asks, HOW COULD YOU? THE WHITE PHOSPHORUS IS A WAR CRIME! YOU MONSTER. So the game railroads you. Then blames you for being railroaded. Then the developers say there is a way to get a better ending. Put the game down. Fuck you. Give me a refund, then.
Deception IV comes to mind Fun game about cute devilish girls setting traps for saints and knights to fall into
>>980746 I was just about to post this as the series gets overlooked so often. Some titles cast the protagonist as sympathetic but IV definitely qualifies. It's a real shame the series is finished unless Koei Tecmo pulls its head out of its ass and realizes the ESG/DEI pozz will lead them to bankruptcy.
>>980849 I tried Deception IV years ago, because I liked Tecmo's Deception on PSX, but couldn't really get into the newer waifu edition. Also, I never played it, but would No Heroes Allowed count? Synopsis says that you're trying to take over the world for some demon lord, but it's kind of a comedy so I wouldn't be surprised if they "do the right thing" in the end - even if because continuing to conquer the would would screw them over even harder than how they have it now.
Why would you want to play as gay jewish niggers?
>>980849 >It's a real shame the series is finished unless Koei Tecmo pulls its head out of its ass and realizes the ESG/DEI pozz will lead them to bankruptcy. I think a game about traps is right down their alley.

I want to rant about something. I played the darkspawn DLC years ago thinking I was going to get to play a campaign as the darkspawn. Like I was actually going to go on an evil adventure. Instead it was just the final mission but you play as the bad guy (and not even the big bad, just one of his goons). Still disappointed by it. This isn't a evil campaign, this is a shitty one shot you play and immediately forget.
>>975903 I'll give you points for trying anon but thats too far too autistic even for us.

>>983329 > thats too far too autistic even for us. Speak for yourself.
>>975903 That's makes me wonder are there any evil farming games? The closest that I can think of is Graveyard Keeper which is a. not very good and b. unethical at best. It's a shame that the over all gameplay is so bad because the very core kernal of the gameplay is really kind of fun. If there was ever a game that needed a complete overhaul mod it's that one.
>>983435 There was the rumored "evil farm" game that everyone seems to remember differently but can never find a copy of it. But that game seems to be just a mandela effect caused by joel from vinesauce Idea Guying a farm game where you commited manslaughter on your wife so you buried the body and shit.
>>983435 Cult of the Lamb? Also the No Heroes Allowed series.
>>983435 The closest I can think of is a Harvest Moon clone I came across on rpgmaker.net once that warped the concept into a horror premise where you are on a space station and the "plants" you farm are Lovecraftian meatforms. Unfortunately I can't find it right now.
>>975032 Postal 1 absolutely, man shoots up everyone even going worldwide Postal 2 is a maybe because you can choose to kill nobody, and the town is the aggressor in most cases even if you do go lethal
lemme just fuck the villainess instead.
Say what you want about Toddrim but you can totally do a playthrough where you unironically swear yourself to Vaermina, murder her good guy lost disciple, take her staff, and become an evil necromancer who goes around collecting women's corpses and piling them on your bed for lonely nights. You don't even have to be a good guy in the main story. Just kill everyone. The guards fighting the dragon at the watchtower? Kill them along with the dragon. Kill every NPC in Whiterun and resurrect them with the Ritual Stone + Aetherial Crown trick and use them as undead minions to win the war for the Stormcloaks.

There's a new HoMM game announced, how bad is it gonna be?
>>1004913 FUCK. My rose-tinted nostalgia glasses are actually making me like this. They are definitely looking to tickle every HoMM3 fan's bone. If anything I'd pirate, the original devs are long gone and giving any money to Ubisoft is out of the question. >inb4 they make Kyrre into a tranny
>>1003525 No one's really had the idea of being the Rapeman going around building a harem of villainesses, surprisingly.
>>974994 Black souls? >>979550 I wanted to try but i got filtered with having corrupting the girls with gangbang and shit, i just can't take being full evil but allowing others touching the girls i want lol
>>1005104 >ubisoft It's gonna suck
>>977031 It's gonna go the oreimo route isn't it

>>1003552 >>1005139 >Adventuring with Serana. >Come across Nord red-head unique bandit. >Reload the quicksave I made outside. >Tell Serana to go back to the LOTD Museum. >Wait for night. >Use invisibility, detect life and muffle spells. >Silently kill all other bandits. >She's fast asleep in a bed. >Collar her and tell her to go player home deep in the mountains that's in no way a rape shed. >Spend 3 in game weeks taming her. >Bring her along now that she's an actual companion. I like to imagine Serana's face when she sees the Dragonborn engaging in Slavery like this.
>>1005596 Bro she went on Molag Bal's Riveting Rape Adventure what you did is small time to her.
>>975107 Funny seeing this post as the suffering games are being removed from gog.
>>1005598 >She gets raped Again glad I never got far into the DLC's lmao Skyrim is a joke, let ME rape the fucking vampires dammit.
>>1005596 This but I did it in Fallout 3 instead,
>>1005804 I tried, but I couldn't actually sell Bumble to the slavers. As much as I hated the concept and execution of Little Lamplight, I ain't selling a little girl into slavery. Ended up downing a bottle of whiskey and lighting Paradise Falls on fire before they could take her from me.
>>1005816 Who the hell said anything about bumble and little lamp light? I was after other bandits
>>1005801 Not just raped, raped by the god of rape.
>>1005139 >No one's really had the idea of being the Rapeman going around building a harem of villainesses, surprisingly. Not in a vidya, of course, but I'm sure I've read more than one internet quest with that premise.
