I remember playing Streets of Rage with my big brother as kids, and at the end you can choose to side with the final boss. One of us chose to side with him and then at the end we had to fight each other to the death as the other's final boss.

It was a game all about nigger gangs and street crime, so I'm not sure it counts as "did nothing wrong".

Shin Megami Tensei games have different storylines/endings depending on your decisions throughout the game. And usually the "evil" side is the morally better choice. Although, neutral is usually the best since it has more content and the "real" ending.

>>15746733

Doesn't one of the games have hitler? Can you side with him?

Honestly, heard a lot of good things about those games, but not really into JRPGs. Would have to finish the one I've been playing right now, but it just goes on and on

>>15746727

are you sure it's streets of rage? I just played streets of rage 2 and I don't remember the ability to side with the boss since you have to save the nigger's dad

>>15746740

oh yeah, that one, I heard that persona was for cucks. isn't that the one where half the game is spend as a generic japanese high school simulator, and the other one spend fighting monsters in hell? which one is SMT then, I'm getting them confused

The extended edition of Shadowrun Returns:Dragonfall lets you side with the bad guys (after you kill your own party), but it effectively results in an immediate bad ending.

You still get to have some drinks with the big brute you tried to kill you at the start of the game.

>>15746748

I love this kind of shit, bad endings, whetever it's just you being a dick and siding with teh big bad, or a legit ending that leaves you having second thoughts that night, are the best

>>15746745

For bare minimum basics. SMT has the standard setting of a Post-Apocalyptic Tokyo after a demon setting, so it's not hell as much as "hell on earth" with demons and angels walking around. In addition, you recruit party members from said demons by negotiating with them. There are moral choices spread throughout that can give you a standard three endings most of the time Law, Neutral and Chaos (though same games like Nocturne have more).

Persona is always set in current year Japan with High School students doing High School students things. it's a spin off of SMT. The first two entries in the series mostly glossed over the High School setting but Persona 3 onwards made more than half the "gameplay" be dating simulators.

>>15746740

>won't let you be a bad guy

Actually, Persona 5 lets you side with the big bad evil god at the end, making the public worship you forever and it ends on a rather menacing evil grin from the now-Lawful Evil protagonist.

Yes, Persona 5 is shit and it's not much of a difference, but I wanted to argue anyway

>>15746755

So, does persona take place in the same universe as SMT, or what? I think I might add SMT to my backlog, do you have some handy dandy pic-guide for beginners? I usually play the games either in the order it was released, or in chronological order, even if the first games are ancient and a pain in the ass to run on modern systems

Breath of fire IV, but only at the end.

>>15746758

It's basically an instant death ending. There are like 3 choices in the game that are Yes or No questions and only one doesn't cuck you out of an entire in game month's worth of content. Not really comparable to SMT which has moral choices littered throughout the game.

>>15746761

>So, does persona take place in the same universe as SMT, or what?

Same "multiverse" if anything. The world is getting constantly "reset" in SMT games so there are many "universes".

>do you have some handy dandy pic-guide for beginners

I don't have the pic on me but I know it exists. I recommend SMT Nocturne (which is actually SMT III) to start off with because again, the universe is just reset everytime so there's no overarching plot. If you really really wanted to start off with the first games, you'd actually need to go straight past Shin Megami Tensei for the Playstation and got straight to Megami Tensei on the NES.

>that paper mario thousand year door ending

Fuck you nintendo

>>15746773

Thanks

What I mean is do both series have shared characters? I also assume both have the same developers, or at least publishers.

I can assume something bad happens in SMT to make the game "Post apocalyptic" and persona is the alternative timeline where that didn't happen, since we have high school shitters and everything. Does this also mean that SMT is a M rated game, or has a darker tone, and persona is the "T for Teen" version of it, due to tone?

>>15746758

>>15746775

Oh! But I did remember that Persona 4 Golden let's you side with the serial killer and continue the conspiracy if you want. And you actually have to befriend him first so I guess that counts.

>most villains did nothing wrong

a bold and facetious claim in an unoriginal thread

>>15746775

>Megami Tensei on the NES

You mean famicom, right? There is no way nintendo of america would allow anything dark and satanic in a 80s nintendo game

>>15746779

>What I mean is do both series have shared characters?

Not at all.

>I can assume something bad happens in SMT to make the game "Post apocalyptic" and persona is the alternative timeline where that didn't happen, since we have high school shitters and everything.

To clarify, you are playing as High School age shitters in both games. Persona takes place in a world where everything is still normal and they are still going to High School doing High School things, meanwhile SMT features High School age kids in the immediate aftermath of an apocalyptic event doing "decide if the world is worth saving" things.

>Does this also mean that SMT is a M rated game, or has a darker tone, and persona is the "T for Teen" version of it, due to tone?

I don't think any of the SMT series entries hits M rated content but I might be wrong.

>>15746784

If you want to be pedantic yes.

>>15746740

>you can't side with hitler

To be fair, it also isn't Hitler. It's Nyarlethotep.

>>15746736

It only happens with two players, apparently.

I checked the wiki and SoR2 is the only game without multiple endings. SoR3 has four endings, although none of them allow you to join the villain.

>no PC port

A shame that i can't find a good copy of it anywhere, i managed to get all the ps2 games, last raven for psp, 4, V and veredict day, plus i bought the two ps1 games off psn, but no one has a CiB copy of for answer, or one that isn't all scratched, and they still have the nerve to charge at least $35 for it.

Star Trek Voyager Elite Force has several missions where you can kill the person you were supposed to save, eg you can "accidentally" kill a crewman by activating the force field too soon, trapping him inside a corridor that then explodes while he screams for help

Lost Magic on the DS

Demon's Souls let's you become the new champion for the Old One at the end. All you have to do is kill your waifu.

>>15747491

Is he really a villain though? Most of his harem joins willingly and the people you destroy really had it coming.

>>15747493

Well you still oppress peasants, take in sacrificial servants, steal food, steal gold, doom the elves, etc.

>>15747498

The elves are huge hippie faggots though.

>>15747507

First game you doom them by letting all the last females die. Second game you steal their queen. But as >>15747508 said, they're hippies in that game. So it's fine to let them die.

>>15747622

Me too. Elves really get the short end of the stick in fantasy because everyone and their mom likes to shit on them.

>elves are really stuck up and mean and deserve to be raped haha kill all elves

When was the last time this was the case? Really. The only time I can think of them as "arrogant" is in Tolkien and even then not by much. They just lived long enough to not give a shit. I'm sure if humans were immortal beings they too would come off as arrogant assholes to everyone else. To me, it sounds more like a kike insert for European people the way they are treated.

>>15747622

Isn't link an elf? i mean, he's still homo bait but at least on the games he's proven to be heterosexual multiple times.

>>15747622

>For once i'd like a game where elves aren't faggots

How about Morrowind?

>>15747643

Hylians have pointy ears but other than that they don't act like elves at all. Hell, the closest things to elves I can think of in LoZ is the Kokiri for being near ageless.

Fable 1

>>15747491

>>15747493

>>15747498

The one thing I don't like about the games is how they do the morality system. In the first game, it's a choice between being an overall good, but still an asshole, guy in scary armor, and a stupid evil guy. In the second game, both choices are now certifiably evil, but it's still just a choice of smart evil vs stupid evil.

Far Cry 4.

>>15747865

Yeah the morality system was kind of balls. The first game's choices are even invalidated in the second game since Rose is defaulted as Witchboys mom.

>>15747873

That's just going to happen in games with multiple endings that have sequels though. At least one ending has to happen for the sequel to take place in and make sense.

Shin megami is based, it lets you cuck the shitty kike god and christfaggots, and side with neutral, or chaos, in my mind, chaos was the pagan gods, it is a great white spirituality simiulatoir

fuck the kike on the stick worshjipers

Alpha Protocol. You can also then betray the antagonist and become the bad guy yourself.

Fable: The Lost Chapters, at the end you can wear the mask you get from killing the main villain, only to realise that the mask has the villain's spirit inside it and you get possessed. Before that you can kill your sister to get the powerful sword the villain was searching for in the first half of the game
