Games that make you feel like a total badass

[WastedDuckling]

I have to say COD WAW gets honourable mention in my books. No better feeling than running at someone who hasn't seen you, then jumping and as they turn around stabbing them right in the chest with a bayonet... other than that taking down a tank by yourself with double pistols on survival mode. L4D forever

Oh sweet Jesus you put a lot of thought into that.

I must say ,Max Payne, its only been mentioned twice in this 7 page thread, and for so many reasons its bad arse.

You dont even heal yourself, just take painkillers. Now that is badarse.

Surely nothing touches God of War in this catagory. The only person who comes even remotely close is Alex Mercer (Prototype), but he fails due to whining like a ***** about people he's killing (right before eviserating a old lady naturally).

 

[Forl0rn]

F.E.A.R 2, and good old Fallout 3.
I do alot of RPing so any game that has a character kill someone while im pretending said character is me invokes these.... feelings

 

[Super_Nintendo_Chalmers]

Gears Of War II and Prototype.
It's the whole gritty personality, and the "I don't give a f**k about what you say, I'm doing things the way I want" attitude.

And soon to take the cake is Brutal Legend, that game will bring a new meaning to the word(s) badass.

 

[Jedamethis]

No game could make me more badass

 

[Olikunmissile]

Stranglehold and Mirror's edge.

 

[Mr_spamamam]

Hitman Blood Money. Nothing gives me as much joy as fiber wireing people from the top of an elevator.

Bioshock. I can shoot bees out my arm! BEES!

Afro Samaurai. Slicey goodness

I don't think I've ever felt badass for playing a game.

I've felt like the characters in the game are badass, but not me.

 

[Omega NZ]

Left 4 Dead. I feel badass when I have dual pistols in that game, it just has a certain...flair.

Agreed, also being infected, more specifically being the tank and smacking cars at survivors is just awesome.

 

[Wyes]

FEAR (1, of course)
Call of Juarez
Half-Life (1&2)
GTA Vice City & IV (but not San Andreas... 'Oooh look at me, I'm some whiny black guy', shut up CJ, your mum didn't love you)
Crysis
Bioshock

[partfluff]

Prototype makes you feel awesome, but not badass.

No game has ever made me feel badass. ;|

 

[Mullahgrrl]

Dungeon Keeper
- 1 for the voice intros to each level
- 2 the game play
- 3 for the voice over when you turn an area/ town red
- 4 for the minion with the scythe and the mistress
- 5 for the latin spells

Yup, that one.

And also Mount&Blade, you get to mow down people from horse back and it is everything you thought it would be.
