The rebels are a clear cut good guys fighting the evil empire

>the rebels are a clear cut good guys fighting the evil empire

are there any games that show that the rebels are pretty much as douchebags as the regime they overthrew, with shit like killing "possible" collaborators and conspirators, etc.

FFVII

Shinra wasn't all bad and Avalanche were reckless to say the least

red dead redemption

Far Cry 4.
If you didn't beat that game in 15 minutes then you didn't get the only good ending there is.

Bioshock Infinite

dishonored

Bioshock Infinite basically fucked it's narrative beyond repair by doing exactly that.

Faster Than Light

>tfw can't sit back and enjoy crab legs with your fashionably late stepdad

Fire Emblem radiant dawn

part 2 only though

isn't BS really jus trying to Ayn Rand plebeian edition

Megaman Command Mission had you siding with the state against a robot rebellion (Though you're called the resistance, you were sent in by the gubmint)

Yeah but all the Mavericks in the X series were rebels that you had to put down.

Tropico.

Any "possibles" that want to "die" are free to meet me in person.

Going to sleep for now.

Witcher, but then again pretty much everyone is a cunt in the Witcher

not really, some were

They retconned that in their shitty DLC.
The negress was just merely pretending to be brutal and ruthless.

She did it, so Elizabeth can kill her for growth or something (why would she care so much about some white bitch anyway).

It made zero sense. They backpedaled after some "criticism".

isn't everyone conspiring against everyone there

Skyrim

skyrim's civil war is so inconsequential

Is it any good? I admire endings like that but was wondering if its even a good game.

Pic unrelated btw

Not the in the games themselves, but in Halo, the insurrection

halopedia.org/Insurrection

technically the rebellion was an inside job and your commander is actually running the whole show, though

FTL. The rebels are such fags.

Planetside 2.

>Rebels view the Empire as tyrants
>Empire view the Rebels as terrorists
>neither side is wrong or right

FTL

it tries to criticize objectivism by saying "if everyone stops being an objectivist then objectivism doesn't work"

Well you weren't rebels in the Killzone series, but your teammates were certainly douchebags and it sure seemed like Helghan had pretty understandable grounds for lashing out.

that's really dumb

I really wish that that was a legitimate path you could take in the game.

I wish they hadn't dropped the game after making it basically. I expected DLC or something adding a new path like that.

I personally loved it but I feel that the FC games have very little replayability.
If you played and enjoyed FC3, this is exactly the same game only a tad bit enhanced, with a different story and setting. They turned Vaas into the main villain and made him P¨based Pagan Ming, they got rid of any BS love story and I kinda liked the Shangri La mini universe.

Red Faction 2.

Bioshock: Infinite

This is the correct way to do it.

Why do so many writers find it hard to portray both sides even-handedly?

The Last of Us

because gamers can't into grey

Valkyria Chronicles 2

Assassins creed unity. It is a broken mess of a game and it does not even focus on the french revolution but you can really see the peasants are fucked up.

First of all you have 2 kinds of armed enemies in the streets, you have the extremists, who will taunt you if you walk by and want to kill you even though you do nothing. Then you have the guards which are of the king. They just attack you if you are violent. And even then if you for example run into them they get suspicious but if you then stand still they will also step down. also as the revolution progresses you can see them starting to pretty much kill everyone rather than just the nobles.

>Rebels overthrow government
>Millions now starving
>Economically ruined
>Cities are little more than bombed out wastelands
>Displaced civilians all over the place with no homes to go back to
>Former Empire soldiers continuing the war even though there's no chance of victory
>Rebel soldiers turning to banditry as there's no jobs for them
>New power plays and uprising taking place
>Foreign powers trying to influence the new government

Please tell me there's a game/movie/tv show/book that explores this.

Anything about russian civil war pretty much.

I honestly blame star wars for the rather stilted rebel pov

This

I really would like if games explored grey moralitiy a bit more. For example take the syrian civil war: on one hand you got a brutal dictator on the other you got rebels who want to build an oppressive fundamentalistic socitiy. Neither are really appealing and you have to choose between Bad and worse.
