Games that give out the wrong messages inadvertently.

In Oblivion, i often wondered why the holy hero of the Empire who wass the savior of the people from the Demonic Oblivion Spawn was a kleptomaniac who kills in cold blood, stripping bodies to their undergarments and ending lives for the sake of a slighty thicker clothing and sharper things to poke people with. In Red Faction Guerilla, you are encouraged to "liberate" the people of Mars by destroying various statues and tourist destinations along with various expensive mining equpiment. In the Ratchet and Clank series, the Hero of 2 Galaxies commits wanton vandalism for the sake of new tools to murder and create more wanton vandalism. But that's just me. Do you know of any games that do this?

Pretty much every JPRG ever. Seriously, the fablded hero of legend come to deliver people from evil randomly break into peoples houses and rummages through their belongings to steal whatever isnt nailed down? Same thing with the Zelda series, no pots are safe ever.

Well GTA is often seen as a "murder simulator" by loudmouths in the media, but it's really just a parody of everything that America has glamorized for the past 40 years in popular culture.

That's how I feel at least

In almost ever RPG I've ever played it seemed perfectly acceptable to break into people's houses and take their things. Actually, Oblivion was one of the first I played that actually punished you (occasionally) for taking things that weren't yours.

Almost all games do this. The government is doing something you dislike? Break into their building and ransack the place!

Also, it is PERFECTLY FINE to allow children to travel around and train murderbeasts to do their bidding. It's also perfectly acceptable to allow said children to capture the most powerful murderbeast that can control time and space.

Perhaps I'd stop smashing pots if they stopped putting Rupees in them.

Pokemon - "It's ok to walk into other people's houses without knowledge of the person or having their consent, to talk to them and they will be friendly, to take their stuff and leave without second thought."

Any MMO - "Gut animals and other creatures you slaughtered! For they hold treasure and money deep within their bowels!"

I thought Sonic the Hedgehog and Mario were pretty weird. I mean, okay with Sonic, Robotinik was abit off and he did send bastard robots after you, that throw shit and etc. But in Mario, only select enemies went after you; all the other ones are merely walking in a predetermined pattern.
So really, you have this Italian Plumber who's going around a grassy gnoll, beating the crap out of Koopas and Goombas for no other reason than he doesn't agree with Bowser for "forcefully" inviting Peach to his castle.

Mario's Moral: If you don't like how something down, jump on turtles and mushrooms violently.

Almost every Star Wars: "Screw being good; the Dark Side is much more effective!"

Sid Meier's Pirates!: "It is okay to ruin the lives of countless people in order to rescue four long-lost family members."

More like, it's okay for a prepubescent child to go off on their own with creatures that could destroy the world when they are powerful enough, while gambling, fighting, stealing, and overall destroying organized corporations, all in a spend of perhaps a month or two, or however long it takes you to complete your character's obvious OCD to "collect them all"

That reminds me of a joke I made when I briefly tried out "World of Warcraft"...

Me: "What a beautiful Silverleaf bush... *RIP!* Someone'll want these herbs! ...Aw, what a cute bunny. *STAB!* Someone'll want your hide!"

*later*

Merchant: "So what do you do for a living?"

Me: "I'm a Druid. I protect and respect nature."

Super Mario Games>>>>>

A pair of overweight plumbers can save the world by eating uhhh...questionable vegetation.

Project Overkill>>>>>

Everything explodes. EVERYTHING.

GTA: San Andreas>>>>>

Goddamn! S.A. is surrounded by the ocean!

(I hope nobody takes any of this seriously...)

Fable. I'm pretty sure you can marry as many people as you ahve houses... I could be wrong. Most of my time was spent burning anything I could to dust... oh, arson too.

Imagine when you revisit your mum after you beat the elite four and get all the legendary's

"Why son and or daughter...that is a beautiful........giant dragon thing...what's it do?"

"Umm well this one pretty much is god. Created the universe and controls space and time...you know..."

"Oh, well. That's nice dear. You look tired. Why don't you go rest."
while really she is thinking, "What the fuck is my kid on?"

 

[Rolling 20]

Grand Theft Auto series are a good one, but only if you take it seriously like the media nut-jobs and Senator Stephen Conroy (may he rot in hell for what he's trying to do to the internet).

A weird one I thought was Assassin's Creed....You have NO second thoughts about killing anyone in this game. Even worse, you get so frustrated at that damn cripple/leper that ALL you want to do is murder him in cold blood.

 

[Neonic-Ink]

It's perfectly sane to live thousands of miles below sea level, rewriting your DNA while crazy Adam Splicers are coming after you. Yes, totally.

 

[Project .hack]

Take a closer look at Bioshock...
The game is about injecting yourself with dubious fluids & then seeing stuff come out of your hands & having everyone out to kill you.

Atlas: "Don't worry it's just altering your DNA"

My Thoughts: "No shit...that's why I'm freaking out."

Also the fact that you can HARVEST little girls for energy to shoot more lightning and other cool shit out of your hand. Then they turn into black leechy things.

Another game I just thought of of was Silent Hill. Though, this one is sort of understandable because most of the time you are totally lost, but still; in Silent Hill, no matter where you go, no matter what it is or even the function, you should pick it up because if you can pick it up IT WILL BE HELPFUL. What's up with that?
