8 Video Games That REWARDED You For Being A Dick

4. Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War

While not all the Ace Combat games have been great, they’re certainly fun. And speaking of fun, in The Belkan War you can mess around with the titles in game karma system to get some nice rewards.

By shooting enemies that are running from battle or neutral targets just trying to Sweden their way through life, you earn Mercenary points, which are “bad”.

You can leave them and gain “Knight” points, but these do precisely bugger all. The more merc points you have, the harder the game becomes, which might sound like a terrible thing but remember: The more people you kill and the harder they are, the more points and cash you earn, making upgrades easier to get.

It’s like a self-imposed hard mode that comes with it’s own rewards, so while it might not be the most immediate, acting like a dick will end up seeing you soar over enemies in the later stages. Lovely stuff.
