What are some good vidya edgelords. The ones where you don't cringe every time they open there mouths. Riddick from Butcher Bay is my favorite. Mostly due to how indirect he is
34608f No.15530628
>good edgelords
You realize that edgelord is a derogatory term right?
This is like saying
>good/based niggers
Just say shit like grim, morose, fatalistic, or some other adjective for characters, don't call them edgelords unless you really want the flaws that actual edgelords come with

Have you ever heard of "edgelord" being used in a positive context?
What comes to mind when you say edgelord?
Sonic the Hedgehog, the Hatred guy, and things of that ilk. Trench coats, over-the-top edginess to the point of being laughable

Hatred was self-aware edginess. The edge was over-the-top deliberately. Prove me wrong.

Before the Warioware series. Wario was a good example of how to do a edgy character in E rated series right without him becoming cringeworthy like shadow the hedgehog.

I honestly doubt Shadow wasn't a joke. I mean he's not Cliff tier edge but someone out there was trying incredibly hard to either make people laugh or cringe.

If you're not cringing then they aren't an edgelord.

He's right. It's like when a woman says "I'm an SJW, I hope that's not a problem" as if the term SJW just means someone who likes fairness and equality.

Equality is a fucking lie, if someone uses that term I'll call it either a SJW or a communist. Fairness on the other hand is not necessarily bad a thing. But thinking a nigger or a Jew is in any way equal to a white person is being delusional.

Max Payne was intended to be really edgy by Remedy (you can especially see it in early screenshots and early trailers) but due to circumstances like how silly they made him look and the very goofy tone of the game causes him to feel a lot less edgy.

Intended to be edgy? It was edgy, there was an entire nightmare drug hallucination sequence where you went around following a trail of blood and the sounds of your crying child in a maze-like level. Then there was the entire sequence with Jack Lupino.

The game never felt like it was CRYING IN MY SKIN until Max Payne 3. I always felt both MP1/2 had this very goofy tone that balanced the more heavy elements really nicely.

I like the Riddick character, but it's a gross understatement to say that he lacks any real depth or character, despite being a character.

To be honest 3 isn't even that edgy if you binge all the Max Payne games. It's probably the only game that has the first "boohoo feel sorry for our emotionally distressed protagonist!" story I've ever felt is not edgy. Max Payne has been through a lot. I felt the edgy parts were used sparingly enough.

A "good edgelord" exists as much as a "good asshole" exists. It's an insult not an adjective. A badass is the word you're looking for and sadly I don't have the quote from a developer involved with Enslaved: Odyssey to the West to explain the difference. Jist of it is though.
>being an asshole does not make you a badass, it makes you an asshole
Granted the line is drawn by everyone personally but there's a general consensus on character's being edgelords (Shadow the Hedgehog) and badasses (Dante)

They tend to mix Chaos up with Neutral since chaos changes the status quo of order from angels to demons while neutral results in the lack of interference of any order of a higher power.

And 8chan had only been gradually using the term over time. Virtually none of the archives I'm digging up for 2-3 years have a match for the word most of the time. I'm pretty sure I'd get better luck scrounging around for that stale Shadow OC, I know that's been posted more often then anyone using the term edgelord.

I'm deliberately looking for threads I expect it to show up, no matches. Not even edge, it's clear that this is just new people being more comfortable using terminology from somewhere else and the lack of resistance to it encourages it's spread over time.

Ackshually, originally Shadow was meant to take the series into a more serious direction (as in, actual drama) but nip tweens liked him so much that SEGA decided to just make a game that suited their tastes. He was meant to stay dead in SA2, like Tikal isn't meant to be in every other game, but autism > good story telling.
