When Evil is Cooler than Good?

[SturmDolch]

The Enclave were cool, and any game with the Waffen-SS as enemies. Their trenchcoats... SO cool.

evil will always triumph because good is dumb

How come in games you glorify being Evil but in RL you dont laugh at the assholes dieing in Haiti or talk about how awesome the Serbian massacre of Muslims was.

Is it some sort of Societal immasculation that has had you stow your balls away in the overhead compartment of condsideration and tolerance.

Because that would only serve to further isolate us from an already distant society. If I'm a dick in game, nobody but myself needs to know. If I'm a dick in real life, I risk losing my job, my friends and any social standings I my have once had.

So basically its because you dont have the balls to be able to do what you want, yea seems to fit in with the reason I gave.

Big words. You know what happens to 'evil' people in real life? Mostly they get imprisoned for life or get killed, depending on the country. In a video game, if you're a homicidal douchebag, you're not actually hurting anyone. You're just killing 1s and 0s. In real life if you kill someone, you're taking away decades of experience and emotion in an instant. That shit's real. So no, I don't think it's because he has no balls, I think it's because he's not a complete fucking idiot.

OT: I think the Empire in Star Wars: Battlefront 2 is way better than the rebellion, but not in much else. That's just my opinion though.

 

[Twilight_guy]

evil is always cooler then good

good is always better then evil

that is the way it goes.

At the beginning of time, good and evil made an agreement. Evil would be totally badass and cool while good was dorky and corny and in exchange good would always win, but the bad guy would get away to fight another day so things didn't get boring.

On topic, In Prototype Alex is fairly cool and of course he is pretty much a villain who murders everyone. I prefer to smite evil though so I don't have many examples.

It has nothing to do with victimization, it is about the hypocritical glorification of "evil". It doesnt matter whether the people are real or not, the character (the evil one) is viewed positively because they throw morality to the wind and have the freedom to act out their intentions. It has nothing to do with murder, the mere fact that you are so concerned about going against what society deems as right that makes you a coward.

Being a suicide bomber in cod4, awwww *sigh* the memories

 

[Necrofudge]

Heroes of Might and Magic, and everything else for that matter. The evil guys always look cooler than the good guys.

Plus if you're good, you have to have "morals" and "standards" for yourself when trying to win (like how batman won't kill a criminal) while evil people can go around that and shoot you in the kidneys while you're asleep.

Well then, by that logic, most people could be considered evil. I don't do what society deems right, I do act like a prick when it isn't likely to get me fired or evicted. There are times when I act like a dick just for the sake of acting like a dick. Does that qualify for you?

Yes that does qualify, although from the state of your response I wouldnt have guessed. Also most people are not considered "evil" because they subscribe to this societal conditioning and behavioural regulations, from what Ive noticed anyway.

Just so bad I have to share it:

Evil is cooler than Good if Good locks Evil in the freezer.

Sorry.

 

[Sir Kemper]

Evil always looks way fucking cooler.
