You aren't really the villain in bioshock..
User avatar #34 to #29 - tunotoo ONLINE (11/04/2015) [-]
but, you really are
User avatar #160 to #34 - failtolawl (11/05/2015) [-]
can you explain how you are the villain in Bioshock?
User avatar #30 to #29 - laseneph ONLINE (11/04/2015) [-]
You haven't played Infinite or the DLC have you?

In case you wanted to know
Booker is Comstock
#47 to #30 - astarothaufromage (11/04/2015) [-]
Yeah but Cumstock is not the guy you are playing. What if there an alternative universe where i absolutely love dicks? That wouldn't make this me gay.
#113 to #47 - anon (11/05/2015) [-]
inb4 "the universe where you love dicks is clearly this one"
lookin out for you bro
User avatar #50 to #47 - laseneph ONLINE (11/04/2015) [-]
You're reeeallly not going to try and argue the semantics of multiple universes are you?
Booker is Comstock, Comstock is Booker. What you're trying to argue is that when a choice is made by you, which diverges from the you whom you perceive yourself to be, that makes you two different people - Or does that make you the same person who made different decisions? Or are you going to try and bring up something like the nature versus nurture debate and try to argue that next? In short I honestly lost interest in this like half an hour ago, I haven't even played the game, I would recommend you scuttle over to someone who's interested in arguing this with you.
User avatar #138 to #50 - dakkenly (11/05/2015) [-]
Also you're implying that they are talking about infinite, and not Bioshock

That's Bioshock Infinite, not Bioshock.
#31 to #30 - tehavatar ONLINE (11/04/2015) [-]
i have, but in the original bioshock you are not the villain..
User avatar #32 to #31 - laseneph ONLINE (11/04/2015) [-]
Then he's probably not referring to the original Bioshock is he?
#33 to #32 - tehavatar ONLINE (11/04/2015) [-]
infinite isnt a terrible long word to type
User avatar #35 to #33 - laseneph ONLINE (11/04/2015) [-]
No but it would spoil the reveal/surprise for anyone who hadn't played it.
#36 to #35 - tehavatar ONLINE (11/04/2015) [-]
isn't he already spoiling all of these games?
User avatar #39 to #36 - laseneph ONLINE (11/04/2015) [-]
I would actually be tempted to say not really, most of those games don't place you as the villain in the traditional sense, with infinite it's the common cliche It was YOU all along etc. .

Bard's Tale IV is in the making.
Backed it on kickstarter.
Super psyched.
Loved the originals.
Newer one was good, but controls were pretty clunky for PC but had GREAT dialogue.
Really can't wait for it to come out!

User avatar #83 to #6 - derpthefifth (11/05/2015) [-]
The difference being i don't want to just become the villian i want to choose it.
I want to be forced into an increasingly difficult set of situations where i must choose increasingly horrible means to achieve my ends.
I want a game where being the good guy is possible but where you're faced with decisions where you wonder every time if it was worth it to do the "right" thing, where by the end of it you've either got your morality in hand or you've sold your soul to do what you thought was right, and now someone else is after you and you can only wonder, will they too falter? Will they do what it takes to bring you down and if they do would you allow them to do so for all that they've sacrificed, would it even matter if they did, only continuing the cycle?
Or maybe.... just maybe they can do better than you did?
User avatar #140 to #6 - bubbagoowopboo (11/05/2015) [-]
Wait how are you the bad guy in Last of Us? I haven't played through it and don't plan on it, but from what I've seen it doesn't seem like you are the bad guy. I don't mind spoilers so explain pls
#146 to #140 - nonanonnon (11/05/2015) [-]
You spend pretty much the whole game trying to get Ellie to the Fireflies group to make a vaccine, but when you find out that will require dissecting her you're like " **** humanity!" and save her from them, potentially damning the entire human race.
User avatar #148 to #146 - setimanosomo (11/05/2015) [-]
Pretty ambiguous on Joel potentially damning them though, considering that the other surgeries were unsuccessful
#175 to #146 - anon (11/05/2015) [-]
considering everything humanity had done to Joel and the people he knew, I honestly think he made the right call. **** the fireflies. they would have killed him anyways if you read the collectibles. and yeah, he may have lied about many things, but they did run some tests before that and nothing was working for them.

they'll do just fine back at Tommy's place living in peace with other humans whose only threat to everyone's safety is other humans.
User avatar #147 to #140 - sushininja (11/05/2015) [-]
Spoilers obviously but you know. Basically Joel, the main character guy brings Ellie, the female girl, to the resistance group that's fighting against the controlling government of the post-apocalyptic world. The entire purpose of the game was to bring Ellie to the resistance group because she is immune and they could find a cure. Turns out, the only way to get a cure is from some brain tissue Ellie has, which would kill her in surgery. So you decide to kill the resistance members and doctors if you want, and the resistance leader, and to lie to Ellie about there being other patients with the cure (there isn't) as you lie to her for the rest of her life. Then the game ends. sad spooky 10/10
#139 to #6 - anon (11/05/2015) [-]
Thank you, first other person I've seen who knows a Bards Tale.
User avatar #163 to #6 - makethingsworse (11/05/2015) [-]
Ooooookay. I might have to question The Last of Us. That puts that ending into a box it only partially fits in.

Personally, I'm torn about it. Even to this day. I occasionally think about how I feel about the ending. Was what Joel did REALLY evil? Yes, he MAY have cocked literally everything up- but at the same time when he looks at Ellie he sees his daughter. Would you sit idly by and allow the last thing you had connecting you to this world vanish? Sure, everything MIGHT have gotten better, but would it ever truly be the same?
User avatar #144 to #6 - spartantoaster (11/05/2015) [-]
you forgot

dark souls

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

User avatar #11 to #6 - WillyMyAss (11/04/2015) [-]
I havent played all those games, but the ones I did didnt rly capture that idea
User avatar #55 to #6 - zantox (11/05/2015) [-]
How does Amnesia the dark descent go under this category?
#75 to #55 - iyr (11/05/2015) [-]
Well, you as the player didn't decide to torture people, but your character did and is the premise for the game.

SOMA would've been better on this list since you can actually decide to kill people and is also made by Frictional Games.
#145 to #75 - berserkerlord (11/05/2015) [-]
F*cking stole the words from my mouth.

Well, Daniel isn't exactly out to be a hero, but he does slowly discover that he's made some **** decisions to serve his own self interest.

spoiler alert X8
User avatar #158 to #6 - lesolan (11/05/2015) [-]
But, not a single one of those games is actually like the described scenario. In most of your list, there are no options given aside from 'die/lose game if you do not do certain things', and in none of them are you left at the end of the game looking back on all of the things you have done and wondering how it all went wrong...
User avatar #159 to #158 - pyroteknyx ONLINE (11/05/2015) [-]
Actually in spec ops:the line there's almost always another option. Most people don't think of it tho and just do the obvious one
#111 to #6 - anon (11/05/2015) [-]
and Deez nuts. HAAAAAAA GOT EEEEEEM!
User avatar #123 to #6 - maxismahname (11/05/2015) [-]
I felt ******* horrible at the end of The Last of Us, even though I didn't exactly choose the end. I know that if I was able to choose though, I would still go with that ending...
Actual spoilers: especially when Ellie makes you promise that the Fireflies weren't there
Also the part where Joel calls Ellie his "baby girl" after the fight with David, for some reason I nearly shed a tear. That never happens to me in video games
I actually had this game for almost half a year and never bothered to play it, but as soon as I got into the story, I was in love. I wanna get the platinum trophy on it, but I doubt that's gonna happen. I love the game and all, but I feel like looking for all the collectibles instead of paying attention to the story will ruin it for me a little. I've completed the game twice already (once on hard and survivor), and I think I'm gonna finish survivor+ in the summer I don't really have time now, sadly . Good times
User avatar #164 to #123 - makethingsworse (11/05/2015) [-]
She makes him promise there were more like her and none of the experiments they had done worked so they gave up and spared Ellie. But it is clear to her that he was lieing.

Spoiler
User avatar #180 to #164 - maxismahname (11/06/2015) [-]
Yeah it's been a while since I played it, so some details are a bit foggy

User avatar #23 to #6 - psykobear (11/04/2015) [-]
You're not the villain in last of us. You just make a selfish choice.
Same for Shadow of the Colossus
User avatar #24 to #23 - exceeding (11/04/2015) [-]
Actions can be both evil and selfish. as evil is just a matter of perspective
User avatar #25 to #24 - psykobear (11/04/2015) [-]
I still wouldn't say villainous. Last of Us has no villain. Shadow of the Colossus, maybe.
User avatar #26 to #25 - exceeding (11/04/2015) [-]
Well, you deny the human race a possible cure against a plague that is killing everyone. i'd say that's pretty evil.
#86 to #26 - anon (11/05/2015) [-]
Actually, as you're going to rescue her, you find various notes around the hospital. They reveal that there have been others with the immunity, and they also had been operated on in an attempt to find a cure. All of them were inconclusive. There's a CHANCE she could have yielded a cure, but it wasn't a very good one.
User avatar #84 to #26 - kyledp (11/05/2015) [-]
Yeah, but in the world of Last of Us, who is really going to accept a cure that may work? Most people in that game want to kill, eat, or rape you. Plus the clickers arent going to magically disappear.
User avatar #27 to #26 - psykobear (11/04/2015) [-]
But, you refused to because it would end up kiling an innocent. I'd call that morally grey.
#3 - vorarephilia (11/04/2015) [-]
I like games where you are unambiguously the bad guy. No moral dilemmas, just you, an army of demon gremlins, and villages filled with people to murder and enslave, and pumpkins in need of smashing.

Overlord was a good game.
#141 to #3 - ntns (11/05/2015) [-]
What i like about overlord wasn't that you were the bad guy and could do bad things. What i liked was that you were the bad guy, but ended up being the good guy because the world had gone to **** and all the heroes had become corrupted.
I liked the idea that you had to fight an Empire that was oppressive and lazy.

Looking at the new Fellowship of evil, i kinda think they missed the point... But whatever it will be fun to see.
User avatar #155 to #3 - nikolaier (11/05/2015) [-]
Yes, those bloody pumpkins with their roots and orangeness. EVIL!
User avatar #8 to #3 - Sewallman [OP](11/04/2015) [-]
I've played about 30 minutes of overlord after getting them in a humble bundle.

I like games where your actions effect the gameplay massively, which I choose to be evil in. They need to make a game that starts at fable, then overlord and ends at communist Germany.
User avatar #19 to #8 - sirrawrsalot ONLINE (11/04/2015) [-]
That would be fable 3, but, y'know, better probably.
#49 to #19 - autoxx (11/04/2015) [-]
Did the expansions salvage that game? I REALLY tried to like it but after 10 or so hours I realized that it wasn't getting any better.
User avatar #42 to #19 - AngryRedMidget (11/04/2015) [-]
I feel the expansions for fable 3 did help, but yea, the premise was so good, and some of the demon doors gave such a feeling of a lost world, I just wish there was more expanded on that.
#5 to #3 - tormain (11/04/2015) [-]
Overlord is amazing, I played all of them. My favorite is still the Wii game Overlord: Dark Legend.
You can throttle minions and than let go, they'll run into something and explode. It's glorious.

I don't think OFF has been mentioned
User avatar #94 to #40 - tenaciouslee ONLINE (11/05/2015) [-]
You don't exactly have a choice in OFF, though, you have to kill the guardians of the zones, it's just a game where you're going through it thinking you're doing the right thing, but in the end especially when you beat Hugo to death , do you realize that the Batter is the evil within OFF.
#110 to #94 - insominus (11/05/2015) [-]
Spoilers. (Duh.)

You are given a choice at the end though, You can chose between The Batter (Who will wipe the world clean) or The Judge (Who will presumably rebuild the world that The Batter rampaged through)

Without getting too deep into what OFF means, The Batter is a force of nature itself, reclaiming the known world and turning it into the Void. Personally, I like to think that the world started out normal (See: The Room segments) and then in an attempt to create a perfect world, Hugo uses his imagination to make everything "better", created the hellish, dystopian world that the player is introduced to. The Batter may not represent Hugo's father/something he has created, but rather it is the form chosen by the Void, and the player them self is acting out the Void's will
User avatar #112 to #110 - tenaciouslee ONLINE (11/05/2015) [-]
I know of that choice, but throughout the game, you can't choose to spare the guardians.

The Batter, I think, is Hugo's father, like the game insinuates, and he's dressing up as a baseball player because he's basically cosplaying what he wants his son to be, but his son is ill, now, it could be argued that Hugo is mentally ill, not physically, instead of not being physically able to play ball with his dad, he's not mentally able, maybe because he's schizophrenic and is hallucinating some world, or whatever, and in killing the "Guardians of the Zones", you're trying to forcefully pull your son from whatever fantasy he's in, continuing up to a crux where you beat your son to death in anger, maybe not angry at your son, but angry at life itself because it put this curse upon your son, and in a fit of blind rage, you kill your son, and your wife, and basically, the whole fictional world that your son was in, the Judge is the tether between reality and your son's world, and you can choose to be the Batter, and cut that tether (I.E. turn OFF the fictional reality) or be the Judge, and kill the Batter, and rebuild the fictional world for Hugo to live in.

User avatar #60 to #57 - captainprincess (11/05/2015) [-]
Not really
You're basically free to slaughter people en masse almost from the get-go, and doing so is built into your survival mechanic

That game has no actual choices that I reclal, and they wouldn't mean jack if they did
You're a monster who slaughters the innocent for sustenance and cool powers

You are right.
User avatar #62 to #61 - captainprincess (11/05/2015) [-]
If anything I think Fable 3 comes closest to that kind of set up
Where you realize that if you make good on all the promises that got you into power, you're screwing yourself and the people who now depend on you, and you have to either step up to the plate and either **** people over, or grind your ******* heart out to really save the people

OR you could become the tyrant you spend the game fighting, but that way you save like half the land's population from slimy doom
User avatar #66 to #62 - xedeid ONLINE (11/05/2015) [-]
Or you just buy all property and shops, set rent to highest and do all sidequests while you collect gold. When you have enough gold set them all to free to fix your rep and then you can make all the good decisions without anyone dieing from lack of money.
The moral of this story is that life is only hard if you aren't rich.

Post apocalyptic setting. You're Brad, a balding former martial arts instructor that is addicted to "Joy", a drug that alleviates the terrifying memories you have of your late sister Lisa who killed herself before the apocalypse due to the sexual abuse of your father, Marty. You blame yourself for not saving her.

The Apocalypse has virtually wiped out all women, condemning the human race to a slow death. Except one, a small baby abandoned in the desert that you found many years ago when you still had hair. You raise this baby, named "Buddy", in the small shack you have with your childhood friends, partly as a way to make up for your failure to help your sister. Afraid of what might happen to her you forbid her from going outside unaccompanied and without a mask.

The wasteland is brutal, and nothing is more valuable than a woman. The solitude is broken one day when Buddy is seemingly kidnapped, the house is destroyed and several of your friends are dead. The entire wasteland now knows about her, and the entire wasteland wants to rape her.

Setting off on a quest of depression, addiction, and redemption you go out to save her from her fate, battling every danger the wasteland has to offer, from disgusting deformed mutants to psychopathic rape gangs, you trek on to get to your adopted daughter and finally make peace with your past.

Along the way you also have some choices that require you to choose between cutting off your body parts and things like that.

That was me when I played Fable 3. The entire time you think you're some big hero doing good and making orphanages out of brothels and giving books to the children or whatever. And then your country is bankrupt and everyone dies because you can't make tough decisions. Or you play as a goody goody and everyone lives because you exploited how the game lets you make insane amounts of money from renting property...
User avatar #157 to #101 - wertologist (11/05/2015) [-]
Fable 3 really ****** the series. Money making was ridiculous. In the original Fable money was hard to come by unless you exploited the trading system. Fable 2 rolls up and money is somewhat easy to get. You still have to work for it. Fable 3 comes up. "lol here's a chest with 10,000 gold. Oh and there's another two up ahead with 5,000".
User avatar #100 - kozdafunny (11/05/2015) [-]
Spec ops the line is a ******* ******** game because it's forced bad decisions. If I made the easy decisions and they turned out to be evil, I'd feel bad, but when it's the ONLY CHOICE, how am I the evil person? The entire game was ******** and the **** story didn't make up for the generic game play.

By that logic, you seem like the kind of person who should get upset at books for not offering your choice or morals.

Spec Ops isn't about you, the choices are meant for Walker. You may be playing Walker, but you're essentially just turning to the next chapter. You are nothing more than a means to turn the page. This is Walker's story, not yours.

I'd say your both right in your on ways. But on a personal level I'm leaning towards kozdafunny.    
 All this is if my memory hasn't completely betrayed me... again.    
   
The choices Walker make are forced on the player who then gets the "Do you feel like a hero yet?" And when people questioned the devs; they basically got told "the only winning move is not to play"  the game or buy it in the first place

well, wouldn't it kind of take the shock value out if they forced you to go down that story path?

Did someone say "Spec Ops: The Line"?

I see where you're going with that but does it really count since he had like a mental prob or something? This is more of a villains side of the story where their evil is good in a way

I would say OFF would be similar, but unlike in SO:TL, OFF tells you from the beginning that you're a good person, who's doing the right thing.

But(spoilers) after you beat a child to death, and then it's mother, you're shown that you're the biggest cockbag in history and you're the cause of basically the apocalypse.

Wait, was that before or after the white phosphorous? I don't remember that.

That was in OFF.

Spoilers for the story, but You go through these zones, and kill their guardians, who basically keep these zones, and their inhabitants, alive, after you kill each zone, you see this kid, who's named Hugo, and then, you get to the Red Room, where Hugo is, it's revealed in the fight with the queen that Hugo, the child you just freshly beat to death with your bat, is your son, who had an illness.

One theory is that when you beat your son, it's the batter taking his anger out on his son for being terminally ill and basically worthless, he dresses up in a batter outfit because he wants to play ball with his son, he might not hate his son for it, he might curse his son's fate, but he's angry indirectly at his son, and while your beating him, the son doesn't fight back, he sit there, taking it, until you kill him, and after you beat the queen, you meet up with the Judge, a character you meet at the start of the game, who fully explains that you killed the zones and the entire world, and even your own son, trying to "purify" the world. And from there, you can take control of the Judge, and kill the batter, who transforms into this crocodile-like creature, or keep control of the Batter, the character you play as, and kill the Judge, and basically kill the entire world.

It could be argued that when the Batter says "purify the world" he means rid his son of his sickness, and you're killing his imaginary friends, hinting to the fact that your son is mentally ill, not physically.

OFF is ****** up, really, really ****** up.

Nothing you do is questionable and you're the true hero the whole story.

That's what MGSV was supposed to be be. Supposed
User avatar #115 - slapchoppin (11/05/2015) [-]

Do you wanna get ****** and be liked or be mean and not get ****** that is the entire reason I haven't finished it
#143 to #122 - glayn (11/05/2015) [-]
You can be nice and win. Just takes more effort. I think that was the 'moral' of the game, not "You have to make sacrifices"

Too bad the game is **** . It's a shame. It had potential. The combat is pretty smooth, but god damn no enemy likes to die. They all jump around like ninjas. Also **** that "every weapon is unique" thing. It ruins it.
