Edit: holy shit I turn my head around for one second and I got 40 replies? THANK YOU ALL :D <3
I just rewatched Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy and following Bane’s and Miranda’s story made me realize that I’m a bit saturated in regards to playing as the hero, the protagonist, the “good guy” in PC games. While I love saving the world as much as the next person, I’d love to play as some perhaps self-righteous villain, or antagonist, or simply somebody portrayed in a way that’s meant to make the player sympathize with questionable morality or, at the very least, be conflicted about why you suddenly find yourself rooting for them.
I’m mostly looking for story driven open world single player games, but any recommendations are welcome. :)
Infamous 2 was my favorite of the series, but it’s stuck on the PS3 and doesn’t emulate well.
Infamous
2Second Son (corrected from 2) was my first time seeing someone from a North American indigenous tribe as the protagonist in a (edit: video game) story. Also not an “Indian” archetype of any sorts and without clichés.Cole was in Infamous 2, and he’s a white guy. You must mean Delsin from Infamous: Second Son. I liked that as well! Connor Kenway of Assassin’s Creed III is half-Mohawk, if that counts.
Ah, yes, thank you!
The original Prey was an excellent game, and the protagonist’s heritage was a large part of the game (though fairly heavily clichéd).
Is that the one where you had to spray paint stuff by holding the controller sideways like a spray can and acting like you were spraying in the air?
No, that was Second Son, the one that took place in Seattle. Infamous 2 was New Marais (New Orleans).
