Dutch Van Der Linde In Red Dead Redemption 2 before he went all batshit in chapter 5

Abby. I know the whole theme about The Last of Us is that there are no good guys - it's just people trying to survive for the most part. But Abby's father was on the brink of saving the fucking world. And some man with PTSD goes mass-shooter in his hospital and murders everyone including unarmed civilians.
What Ellie did was completely justified within her own experience. Nobody that loves their dad could turn around and say they wouldn't want to murder the person that butchered their father.

Buuuuuuut... As a father myself... I see Joel's point.. he's kind of the antagonist in the first game at the end.

Yeah I agree with you as well. It's back to why I think the games are so well written. Nobody is inherently the "good guy"

Don't want to spoil anything, but Persona 5 Royal.

God damn it what a great game that is.. I love that its so well written that the true "antagonist" is hidden in the shadows until the very end.

Pagan Min from Farcry. The two "good people", Sabal and Amita fighting the war against him are just as shitty and lead to equally shitty endings. At least Min had a sense of style and character and charisma. I've never wanted to help a group of people less than the Golden Path in Farcry 4. The best ending you get is when you just sit and wait for 15 minutes at the beginning of the game.
I forgot about that secret beggending. 😂
