Games in which you sympathize more with the Enemy then with the Hero

[Vrex360]

The Locust in Gears of War. I mean yes it is pretty easy to paint them as the bad guys but my guess is still that the Locust had no choice. I think the whole Lambent thing was caused BY the humans when they were mining too deep and therefore caused imulsion to pour into the Locust's home poisoning their environment hence they had no choice but to move to the surface. And aware of humanities savage nature that obviously meant prepping for war.

Still however I acknowledge them as the bad guys.

 

[Shoqiyqa]

Age of Empiers / Age of Kings / Age of Conquerors.

"Oi! Cavalry! Stop massacring the innocent villagers! We are NOT supposed to be evil racist psychotic bastards here. You're got ONE job here, and that's to kill the KING so we can LEAVE and they'll stop being a threat and we can leave them alone and not kill anyone else LEAVE HER ALONE AND HIT THE KING!"

I got tempted to torpedo allies a few times when they decided to stop the advance and go My Lai on the defeated towns.

Also, while we're clarifying the difference between rouge (make-up named after the French for "red") and rogue (not-very-law-abiding character class or descriptor), I'd just like to mention that "your" is a possessive pronoun like "my", "his" and "their" and the abbreviation of "uo are" is "you're" ...

... and also that very few weapons are loaded with clips. Some were. A clip is a little strip of metal which holds the back ends of, typically, five or ten rounds. A magazine is either the tubular type used on pump-action shotguns and lever-action rifles or the box or drum type, fixed or removable, and includes a spring to push ammo to the feed mechanism. You can see an example early in Saving Private Ryan. The soldier pushes a clip down into the magazine of his weapon, and when he fires the last shot from that clip, it is ejected. You can see a similar insertion of clip into magazine early in Enemy at the Gates. With a Browning 9mm, Luger 9mm, Colt 1911 .45, Desert Eagle, Browning 22 .22LR target pistol, Sten, MP5, Bren, L85, L86, L98, M-16, AK-47, AK-74, Beretta 92F, Steyr AUG, MP40, Uzi or Tommy gun, you replace the magazine, not a clip, to reload.

Also: when making a comparison, use "than". "Then" is for sequences.

 

[Bendebec]

Gears of war. You are actually an evil invading force and the native species are just protecting their home planet. Then you activate the lightmass bomb. How could you?

 

[HotShooter]

The Nordbergians in Overlord 2, even though I accidentally killed them, ALL of them, slowly.

 

[Vanguard_Ex]

I'm surprised that no one has said Assassins Creed. Speaking of which, Assassins Creed. Once they explain themselves you almost feel a bit sorry for them. Almost.

 

[ErGo]

Vergil in Devil may Cry 3.

 

[StarStruckStrumpets]

Kingdom Hearts. They always make the antagonist misguided and innocently evil if you know what I mean.

 

[gamegod25]

The super mutants in fallout 3. They're regular human beings who were subjected to horrific experiments that caused them to lose their intelligence and gender identity. You kill hundreds of them throughout the game with no remorse. Tut tut lone wanderer.

Sorry I just prefer to keep my limbs and internal organs.

 

[L33tMarvin]

Virgil in Devil May Cry 3 in the ending I felt sad for him when he decided to stay in the underworld then jump off the waterfall,Axel from Kingdom Hearts 2,and sadly Rippa Splitta from dawn of war 2 when he beat you he congratulates you about beat him

This. A lot of there reasons made a lot of sense. You seemed to do more harm than good.

 

[Knight Templar]

Fable 2.
All the evil things Lord Lucien did would have been undone if he had finished the spire, Theresa was evil and wanted him to make the spire but had you kill him so she could have it.
The hero and Lucien both pawns, but Lucien was going to do something if he won.

 

[Charisma]

Magneto in any X Men game. I totally see where he's coming from.

This times a thousand. I'd follow Magneto to Hell and back.

Also, Sephiroth is 100% unlikable. He's just a mommy's boy with a big sword and magic powers. P-tooey.

 

[jamie3001]

I agree with mirrors edge. I mean they re only doing their job after all.

 

[Kage Me]

Metroids.

You are sent to a planet to eradicate an entire native species just because your crew finds it threatening. I couldn't help but feel sorry for them.

prototype, your a monster in that game, they had to make the militaty as monsterous as they could to try and make you feel less sorry for them but its a trick

.......Are you serious? What the military did in that game WAS monsterous killing people along with the infection, but I agree that the main character was more of a monster

Spoiler

because he let the virus loose but thats technically not the person or thing you play as.

what the military did is hardly worst then driving a tank around with the resulting lots of ppl you end up running over

I was talking more about purging(nuking) the city even though they have a toxen that kills the infection. I would say that was pretty bad.

well considering that you became immune too it and they saw you as a pretty big threat its not unreasonable, I mean really they should have nuked it like day 8

 

[icyfresh]

i agree with the hord from grears of war 2
HUMANS MUST DIE LOL ^.^

Thats what I didn't get, if you were immune then why did it still hurt you on that mission. But although I agree with you it's still pretty evil.
