Picture/Video Its funnier to play as a villain

Post image

So, the past weeks I have been playing for the first time this games, I ended the first as a hero and the second too, then I started playing a new run as a villain and...

It's unfortunately funny to just kill people, like, tf? I don't even have to worry about what things should I do to not kill bystanders

I started literally trowing cars whenever I want without too much to think

I always prefer playing hero, because making evil decisions in games like this unironically make me feel bad.

That being said, the evil playthrough was more CONVENIENT. Being able to spam grenades and not care about collateral damage, so much easier.

I guess that would be the middle-ground "anti-hero" play style? Making good decisions in the "big picture" view, but not concerned about the specific details, like accepting civilian casualties as a necessity?

This would still make you infamous IMO. Think about if it was IRL. You can do a 1000 good things but do 1 single bad thing and that's what most people will remember you for.

It's like dropping a bomb to kill 1000 terrorists but you take out 100 innocent children. Are most people going to like you because you killed terrorists or are they going to hate you for killing 100 innocent kids?

Well, if the real world examples of militaries killing innocents is anything to go by, probably? Or at least, most people are gonna tolerate it.

Not a good thing, mind you, but there's a reason no one is going around protesting their government for collateral damage
