Or what if you play as Hunter Biden and you have to collect enough crack cocaine to get a prestigious job at a Ukrainian energy company

Lost Planet the first game by Capcom had a multiplayer mode that let you play as the aliens you were hunting and it was super fun.

Carrion is a game kind of in the same vein. You play as a monster trying to escape to freedom.

Fun fact some (many?) don't know

The movie "I Am Legend" is loosely based on a novel (and subsequent other film adaptations back in the day) of the same title.

The "twist" in the book is that the doctor (Will Smith in the most recent movie) who survived in the books goes around slaying what he sees as monsters. These vampire-like creatures who used to be his friends and are still sentient (in the book). They gather outside his protected home at night and call out his name because they remember him. They aren't mindless like in the recent movie.

Anyway, the title of the book is referring to him. He's a legend among the vampire people because he's a mass murderer of them. They all hate him. And eventually capture him and (I think, been like 15 years since I read it) execute him. You don't learn this until the last like couple chapters. The entire story until then is from his perspective of these inhuman monsters that he tortures and kills in an effort to cure the disease that turned everyone.

The twist seems kinda cliche now as I type it out, but that book is pretty old... it blew my mind when I read it anyway. Some of the details might be off, but I like concepts like this

IIRC it established two separate levels of the disease that's basically the same as the later ghoul/feral ghoul divide in Fallout. So there were vampire zombies that hunted people - including each other - and ones that had managed to stabilize the condition with medical treatment. He hunted them indiscriminately, and it was the latter group that managed to take him out with an organized military strike on his fortified compound.

Wait til you hear about Evolve

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yeah but I specifically want to be a Brachydios and explode punch hunters hehe

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Ahh I can understand that. I've annoyed local companies/governments into providing a service. Maybe send an unhinged email to Capcom and see if they reply? I suggest a MSpaint drawing of Brachydios. Please share with us if you do!

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Lmao can you imagine

"Oh God damn it the Brachydios fan emailed up again"

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 5 points 4 months ago

I'd wait for updates like I wait for Konsi posts 😜

dead by daylight is monster hunting humans which is pretty close.

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Oh man I suck at that game haha

[–] crawancon@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

me too. I can't get passed the frustration of almost getting the people and they get away, or constantly rescue each other. like I need the villain speed 4% faster.
