Top Six Games With Extremely Dubious Morality

Titles like Fallout and The Elder Scrolls give you the option of going full evil and becoming homicidal maniacs or slave traders, but that's pretty straight forward evil labeled as such well ahead of time. Likewise for the various Mafia / Grand Theft Auto / Saint's Row games, where you are a criminal from the get go and never pretend to be otherwise.

These games below go a different direction – they aren't obviously evil at first glance, but rather are presented as morally justified when they're actually morally bankrupt. Not that that fact will stop us from playing them of course!

DA article and that's it's strong point.

The Last of Us would have been a better choice than Uncharted in this regard. So sick of Drake being demonized for killing hordes of enemies out to kill him. It's called self-defense people.

OB1Biker3160d ago (Edited 3160d ago )

Seriously.. I read some ravings from guys calling Drake the butcher and how they believe the game is awful. I can think of so many games they could go on about even Minecraft.
They are just games, would be boring if the morality was too much of an issue, and like you said its basically shooting the bad guys.
The Last of Us is an interesting point because the game actually questions what morality is in an amoral society ie. being human with an individual against a decadent 'civilization'. IMHO

Especially when Lazarevic pointed it out!

ironcrow23863160d ago

sadly not played uncharted (yet) so no idea about that one but the others seem all normal to me alas my sense of morality left years ago :)

Otaku263159d ago

You should play Uncharted, it is a good game. And, your comment is funny =).

Watch Dogs? It was laughable how Aiden kept claiming the moral high ground

ironcrow23863160d ago

The way it was handled was so dumb. One shots in melee...your teammates are to ostupid to get away from its attack. So you most often end up alone in a certain fight.

Two words, one accessory....Safety Bit

MeteorPanda13d ago

Needing an accessory to keep a.i from dying and only one of them isnt great.

Original Final Fantasy 7 - Is it Worth Playing in 2024?

Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?

Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.

MrNinosan40d ago (Edited 40d ago )

Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...

ravens5239d ago

... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.

VIK212139d ago (Edited 39d ago )

Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

@ravens52
80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣

ravens5239d ago

Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.

ravens5239d ago

Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.

Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.

Barlos40d ago (Edited 40d ago )

It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.

I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.

Tapani39d ago

Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.

Rebel_Scum40d ago

Yes, play this, skip remake, start rebirth for new players.

I_am_Batman40d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim40d ago

Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rebel_Scum40d ago (Edited 40d ago )

I disagree Batman
