10 Video Games That Let You Be An Utter Scumbag

1. Hatred

And finally, we have perhaps the most widely-loathed video game released in the last five years: Hatred.

Effectively what you'd expect to get if your average 14-year-old edgelord 4Chan user was given money to make their own game, Hatred casts the player as a mass-murderer who wishes to wipe as many innocent people off the face of the Earth as possible...just because.

An isometric twin-stick shooter that prides itself on its self-conscious nihilism, Hatred brings nothing else to the table but blandly generic shoot 'em up carnage with nothing in the way of plot or character to make things interesting.

The central aesthetic metaphor is hilariously clumsy - the protagonist literally views the world in black-and-white, get it? - and the unnamed murderer can't help but seem like an embarrassing wish fulfilment fantasy for angsty teens everywhere.

And if you weren't quite convinced of his scumbaggery yet, the game literally ends with him causing a nuclear explosion which kills literally millions of people.

As horrid as all of the above characters were, none of them committed to mass annihilation with quite this level of demented enthusiasm. Yuck.
