Most Sympathetic Enemies - Games

[QUOTE=Death0nWings;17674173]I don't know why, but when I read "Wanted somebody to love." I thought of the song by Jefferson Airplane, and then I thought of Bowser Jr. On a minigun in a helicopter with a bandanna on his head in 'Nam.[/QUOTE] I was thinking more along the lines of 'Somebody To Love' by Queen. :rolleyes:

[QUOTE=lettuce_head;17675307]Oh god when she dies and Otacon starts crying... :frown: Poor Otacon.[/QUOTE] not to mention Emma, or [sp]Naomi[/sp] man that man takes a violent beating by a gang of pain and anguish and still stands up straight and says "was that it!" at least he has his niece... poor man.

The overseer in Fallout 3 I understand why he did what he did and I guess I would've done the same if I was in his situation

Almost every target in Assassin's Creed.

[QUOTE=Elexar;17678098]Almost every target in Assassin's Creed.[/QUOTE] Some of them yeah, but some of them were a pleasure to kill (the guy that knifed the other guy at the fountain for example).

[QUOTE=acds;17678143]Some of them yeah, but some of them were a pleasure to kill (the guy that knifed the other guy at the fountain for example).[/QUOTE] True, but I found most of them had a solid reason to do justice to what they did, hence I heavily sympathized with some of them. And yeah, some were a true pleasure to kill indeed. I hope AC2 will drag the player further into this kind of thing.

At first, I hated Psycho Mantis, but after hearing his story at the end I wished he didn't have to die.

The Nazis in Bloodrayne as you rip them limb from limb and then finish by cleaving them straight down the center

[QUOTE=Kondor;17678646]The Nazis in Bloodrayne as you rip them limb from limb and then finish by cleaving them straight down the center[/QUOTE] To be honest, though, those Nazis were most likely hand-picked for their Nazi-ness. It wasn't like they were Wehrmacht or anything.

[QUOTE=Canuhearme?;17678786]To be honest, though, those Nazis were most likely hand-picked for their Nazi-ness. It wasn't like they were Wehrmacht or anything.[/QUOTE] But when they crawl away bleeding out with no legs, or run in terror holding a severed arm, it's all like "OH GOD I'M A MONSTER" :(

[QUOTE=Kondor;17678806]But when they crawl away bleeding out with no legs, or run in terror holding a severed arm, it's all like "OH GOD I'M A MONSTER" :([/QUOTE] But they're evil Nazis, so it makes you a [I]badass[/I] monster.

The army in Prototype. For one thing nuking a quarantined city where there is no hope of curing the infection isn't neecessarily a problem. Especially since emo peter pan has been doing everything he can to let the problem progress. And since you are technically the bad guy in this story there is no reason to hate the army. The only guy who sympathises with you is helping only because he is as selfish as Mercer.

Blackwatch were dicks and I couldn't give a shit about them, but the Marines were truly there to help (and to take the blame when Blackwatch fucks up, another reason to feel sorry for them).

The MGS guards. Seeing Johnny for the first time really makes you realise who you're slaughtering.

[QUOTE=Drasnus;17679456]The MGS guards. Seeing Johnny for the first time really makes you realise who you're slaughtering.[/QUOTE] Johnny?

[QUOTE=Punjon;17645060]That's horrible, imagine the mental scarring that grunt suffered for the rest of his life, watching a demon kill everyone he knows and the same demon leaves him to live out his life.[/QUOTE] Those grunts probably all meet together for their weekly Post Traumatic Stress Disorder support group and discuss their survivor's guilt.

[QUOTE=Cheesesack;17675599]Pretty much any game where you kill Stormtroopers. I've always had a problem with the whole 'evil empire' thing in Star Wars. From what I see, there isn't really all that much 'evil' about it, apart from some of its leaders. Overall, it provides security, safety and generally seems to improve the quality of life for all it's members. Just because people like Darth Vader and Tarkin happened to be running the show, doesn't mean everyone who signed up to become part of it was evil. Most Stormtroopers are either the original clones (so didn't have much choice) or just honest men trying to make a living.[/QUOTE] Jedi Outcast is the worst, because they actually have conversations about how much their job sucks. Then they get sliced in half.

[QUOTE=laserpanda;17679637]Jedi Outcast is the worst, because they actually have conversations about how much their job sucks. Then they get sliced in half.[/QUOTE] Han Solo was a Stormtrooper. Either that, or an Imperial Pilot.

I wish for a game where the protagonist could just walk up to the enemies, and let them go home to their wives and kids. I feel bad for my enemies every now and then. Or maybe stun or taze the enemies, just killing everyone can be a downer.

Most of the stalkers in STALKER. With the possible exceptions of Military and bandits, both seem to be needlessly evil.

[QUOTE=General_Nonsense;17644545]Laughing Beauty from MGS4: [media][url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-S8_iAp1Us[/url][/media] AAAWWWWWWWWWWWW...[/QUOTE] I don't get the Beauties. They attack you by kissing you... They must have arsenic or something in their mouths.

[QUOTE=Canuhearme?;17679474]Johnny?[/QUOTE] Johnny Sakisomethingorother... The hapless prison guard who has possibly the shittiest job.

[QUOTE=Nautsabes;17679967]Johnny Sakisomethingorother... The hapless prison guard who has possibly the shittiest job.[/QUOTE] What an awesome last name.

[QUOTE=Nautsabes;17679967]Johnny Sakisomethingorother... The hapless prison guard who has possibly the shittiest job.[/QUOTE] That's the guard in MGS3 right? [sp]Poor guy, I spun around in the healing screen so I'd puke and then punched him.[/sp]

Why are the MSGs the saddest?

Quite a few of No One Lives Forever's anonymous guards, based on the silly conversations they have.

[QUOTE=Teh Zip File;17680207]That's the guard in MGS3 right? [sp]Poor guy, I spun around in the healing screen so I'd puke and then punched him.[/sp][/QUOTE] He's in all of them. Except in Guns of the Patriots he's on the good guys side now. I think, I haven't got a PS3.
