I need a new series/movie/game

[EvilMaggot]

Okay Escapists i need your help on this one... ive gotten tired of all the goodguy stuff now..

This really started to peak my interest also after i saw "Vikings" where its about the vikings raiding england and such.. that you are actually following ... the bad guys.. and ive almost always rooted for the bad/evil guys in almost every movie/series/game.

What i mostly need is:
- Has to be the viewpoint of the badguy.. evil person.. (like if it was SW: The force unleashed but with the apprentice evil ALL the way through) and keep to follow the bad guy.

but from there im open to pretty much anything

Though ive already done SW KotoR i know of that one... but you are not completely evil in it.. i need something.. 100% pure evil.. like.. take any villian.. and make her/him the priamy focus of the story.

The comic book "Wanted" by Mark Millar is good, and also very different from the movie.

Dungeon Keeper. You are...well, a dungeon keeper - a seemingly very powerful entity that fights those pesky good knights, elves, dwarvs and so on. Bleh. You could, however, torture them until they join you. Or torture them until they die - whatever, you'll get some information out of them. You can still make use of the bodies to turn into vampires. Alternatively, let them rot in prison until they turn into skeletons. And so on. It's marvellous.

Hell just do Skyrim but play as a total prick. One of my characters I play as is essentially The Hound from Game of Thrones, an Imperial attack dog the Empire points at a foe and lets him off the leash. He's a cruel son of a ***** but it's fun watching him shield bash Aldmeri inquisitors into submission, then executing the Nord prisoner they were escorting because the only thing he hates more than an Aldmeri is a Nord.

Or Legacy of Kain - wonderful stories to be had there. Although I'm sure many of us could argue over whether Raziel was a 'bad' guy - hell, many of us would even argue that Kain was actually quite a nice guy. In the long run.

And then there's Fable and Black & White for example - but it's based on your choices, not that you're a predestined 'evil warlord' or something.

If you're in to anime then you could give Death Note a try. It's about a prodigal student who, after finding a magical notebook that kills anyone whose name is written in it, takes it upon himself to enact "justice" upon the world. It's really fascinating following his descent in to madness and maniacal self-deification, and the ingenious battle of wits between him and the world's greatest detective. You might want to be aware though, that the second half of the series isn't quite as good as the first. It's still very much worth seeing through to the end though.

...Breaking Bad?
It's pretty ambiguous at first but as time goes on Walt does some fucking irredeemable stuff.

Boardwalk Empire, Sopranos and Breaking Bad. Relevant video. [http://www.cracked.com/video_18485_the-only-8-types-tv-shows-that-get-made.html]

Growth, decay then transformation!

I've recently gotten addicted to Dexter (Hooray for free Showtime for the week! ), so I'd suggest that. Course, I've only gotten through the first two seasons thus far, so I'm not sure if the titular character ends up being more evil or good as time goes on. Plus, he only kills people who do bad things, so not exactly all that bad of a guy.

Still, it's a pretty great show.

There's also Code Geass, which has a somewhat similar protagonist, although it may not be quite you're looking for. Both excellent shows, nonetheless.

Hm...it occurs to me that Muramasa: The Demon Blade also somewhat fits the bill. The main characters aren't evil, but they are pretty nuts.

If you have Netflix try watching House of Cards. There's nothing goody-two-shoes about the characters in that.

 

[Launcelot111]

The comic series Irredeemable is all about a Superman analogue who goes nuts and terrorizes humanity according to his whims. A personal favorite moment is when he feels slighted by Singapore's UN representative, so he flies off and just destroys Singapore. Still, he's not wholly unsympathetic while being relentlessly cruel, and the series stays at a fairly high quality for most of its run.

Please keep in mind that there are two versions of this program. The original one was a BBC production and, in the view of this member, the superior of the two. It takes place in the English Parliament as opposed to the U.S. Congress.

I think thew problem with your suggestion, about Skyrim, is there barely is any difference if you're a Good Guy Greg or Scumbag Steve. It's almost all the same, and lacks the world reacting to you differently. I think that's kind of what OP wants, a different point of view on things.

 

[LongAndShort]

I don't think I've seen anyone mention the show Deadwood, so I'll say it. If you haven't watched this series yet, go and motherfucking watch Deadwood. Seriously. It is awesome.

 

[thefrizzlefry]

Four Lions. It's a British comedy film by Chris Morris, and it centers around a group of radical would-be Jihadists. It's one of the best comedies I've ever seen.

 

[FalloutJack]

Hmmm. Lemme try a few things.

I COULD say that the Legacy of Kain games are evil. Kain certainly is, and Raziel - while he might seem the most heroic - is an angry vengeful soul-eater.

The Mastermind series on Newgrounds, including the game called Nastermind: World Conquest, is good for flash needs.

Spawn tends to be the right amount of bad, though he's not the antagonistic type. Up to you.

The 'Rampage' games were, of course, always about being a city-destroying monster with no morals at all.

I would also suggest Hellsing Ultimate. Who cares that Alucard is a vampire hunting other vampires? He's monstrous bloody killer who enjoys his work WAY TOO MUCH.

Saint's Row games push the envelope for violence and gang warfare in an only semi-serious atmosphere. You're not a hero. You're conquering the streets.

Mad Max? He isn't a villain but he's sure as hell not a hero, not with some of the stuff he does and the way he acts.
