Sometimes we just want to get into a game and not only feel like we're saving the world, but saving it in a truly badass way while we're at it. In The List today, we take a look at five games that can make us feel like the baddest ass on the planet. Check it out!

Ok look, many video games out there do a great job of pulling you into the story or giving a romance to care about. Today we want to go over games that just flat out make you feel epic! Sure I am sitting on my couch with a pile of Doritos around me and a half spilled soda on my shirt. Even in this state these games make you feel supersonic, hardcore, and awesome! The list spans the ages so there are older games on here too. And no, not all of them are MMOs.  Let's call this List a diversion shall we?  Let’s start our list! Get psyched, drink a Red Bull, do a push up and pump up for the fight!

Chess

The original PvP

Serious Sam instead of duke nukem, better games, better jokes, much bigger kill count

 

I'll vouch for that!  Nothing like being outnumbered by 100-1 as you and your friends try to hold off a massive zerg of screaming maniacs. 

Good list.

shadowbane was full pvp, chances for you alone in the wilds find a enemy guild group and lose all you loted in the last hour would make a lot of people rage quit :)

shadowbane on his prime was good, in his last years not so much

Savage 2

best pvp on the planet.

Just gonna throw this out there

Weaponlord is one of the best fighters ever. Seriously, that game desperately needs a proper remake. The game has SO much going for it and came up with so many awesome mechanics well before other games introduced them.

A little sad I didn't see the Ninja Gaiden (Xbox-Xbox360) games on there, with NG 2 the prime one. I felt like a badass from chaining combos into obliteration techniques without interrupting the flow, and the weapon sounds could have some serious force behind it. My favorite still is, and always will be, the Lunar Staff simply for the sound of its strikes and just how good I was with them!

Though, I can understand if NG 3 cancelled it out, nothing wrecks feeling like a badass like a bunch of whiny enemies who start crying and begging as soon as they get a scratch on their elbow.

Otherwise, decent list though I've never heard of that last game. May have to look up WeaponLords sometime now.

+1 DAOC,especially the part about really caring for your realm!

/shrug, playd both.  Definitely, no realm pride in SB.  Kinda like comparing DF and DAOC, apples and pears, imo

Where is Mortal Combat? It is 1000% more bad ass than WeaponLord.

Where is DOOM? Doom is like Duke's bad ass father. ))

Where is Blood?

Are we living in 2 different worlds? ;-)

where is hello kitty onine?!?!?!?! HKO has the best pvp of ANY game,.... j/k

I would also add Dungeon Keeper (1997) and long forgoten Dominus (1994) - the only 2 games I can remember, where you had the ability to torture your minions/captive enemies. In both games you take the role of evil demigod being controlling minions. -))

And where the heck is Postal?  ;-)

Just watch the DK intro -))) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8N5ODEGR1KQ

I thought Darksiders was pretty badass, grabbing a zombie's head and squishing it with one hand, totaly badass. 

I was convinced that I was the only one on Earth who played WeaponLord.  The only reason I stopped playing is because nobody else seemed to play.
