Hey /v/ are there any games where you are an actual villain out there?I feel like every game out there gives you justification for the bad things you have to do and you are never really evil. I want to play a game where I am not a hero and its not some over the top gore fest meant for edgy teens. Does such a game even exist?

Nah matey, you were good guy.

As for the thread, Saint's Row 1 and 2. In 1 you're the mook, in 2 you're the boss.

PayDay 2 .

The bottom line is money and cool masks . Nothing else matters.

>Hitman

I feel that the Hitman series goes out its way to tell you that (most if not all of) your targets are awful human beings.
>>
>>330241552
Nope.

Going off of OPs post, are there any story driven type games (Stanley's parable , walking dead, etc.) where you are a killer? I think that would be an interesting premise. Kinda like a playable true crimes documentary or some shit.
>>
>>330241916
In the original payday it was like that, but in payday 2 they made them into "modern day robin hoods". They even blatantly say it in one of the trailers for the game.
>>
>>330242193
This, you feel justified about killing the crime bosses. Now if you had to do a contract kill on some random person , that might be interesting
>>
>>330241552
Wasn't Manhunt's entire schtick to be an over the top edgelord gorefest?

Fun game until it started being all about guns
>>
>>330242193
Use contracts mode then.
>>
>>330242827
Manhunt 2 was awful for that very reason. Guns were a focal point, but the gunplay in Manhunt games sucks ass.

Tommy Vercetti is a fuckin psychopath

all other GTA protags aren't out there to do crime because the want to, they simply find it as a means to an end

Can someone refresh my memory of Manhunt 2? Did it turn out that the main character was a child killer at the end or am I misremembering things?

Are there any games where the hero is good but we see they truly feel bad about what they have to do?

There's almost literally no blood in Postal 1, I don't know what to tell you.

It's all in the atmosphere.

>>330242994
Manhunt 1 was fucking awesome with the gunplay. It was stressful as shit because you couldn't waste any bullets, and you could die in two hits. I think it's one of the first cover shooters, too.

He killed his wife in front of his children. Manhunt 2 sucked and was retarded though.

Isn't there a Friday the 13th game being made where you can be Jason and 4 other people can play the campers?

Was it really that hard for you to assume he quoted the wrong post, jesus christ

Yes, the even have the actor himself doing the motion capture.

>>330241337

Play an evil character in Fallout 2

I recall it was pretty good and you were genuinely an evil fucker.
>>
>>330242827
Fuck you that shit was a good stealth game. Surprising coming from Rockstar.

Don't even bother with Manhunt 2, shit wasn't even by the same Rockstar branch. I'm just holding out for Manhunt 3 on the Rockstar Advanced Game Engine. Give the SJWs something to really scream about.

Yeah GTA V is one of these kind of. Hell, Dan Houser even said:
>Just at the conceptual level, the idea was three separate stories that you play in one game. The next bit was, let’s not have the stories intersect once or twice but have them completely interwoven. It felt like it was going to be a real narrative strength: you get to play the protagonist and the antagonist in the same story.
>If you began to develop him and Michael and their previous relationships... We wanted this feeling where you start off thinking one's good and the other's awful. Then you get spun the other way. Then you get spun back the first way, until you can't decide.

Later in the game after the "big reveal," depending on whose side you're on (Michael or Trevor's) you're essentially playing as the antagonist whenever you swap over to the other one.

V may not have had such a deep and touching story like IV or RDR, but I felt like Michael's arc was complete enough, and the actual characters and their interactions were great.

Half-Life 2. G-Man is actually older gordon freeman.
