11 Video Games Where You're The Bad Guy - Commenter Edition

5. InFamous 2

Another contentious one that really depends on how you play the game is Infamous 2. Of course, there are a lot of games that let you be a paragon or renegade but y’all wanted this one so you got it. Evil Cole MacGrath becomes the villain if you make a tonne of bad karma choices like scaring civilians, choosing violence, and doing murders.

There are actually three kinds of naughty Cole, referred to as Evil Cole in inFamous, Beast Cole in inFamous 2 and Vampire Cole in Festival of Blood. Beast Cole is interested in power and killing off The Beast who almost took him out at the start of the game. In the final mission, he rampages through New Marias getting steadily stronger and eventually realising he’s become the very thing he set out to destroy. Damn.
