Games where you start a rebellion/revolution

[Slayrix]

I want a game kind of like just cause, or kind of like red faction, the only real game I can think of that is kinda like that is bannerlord but I kinda got bored of that because of missing features even though it still is a great game, but are there any games where you start out as a small group of people and then go around protesting and rioting and starting a rebellion/revolution, I don't want a game where there is a small rebellion mechanic, I want a game that is mainly focused on rebellion, I don't care if the game is on steam or not, or if it is on a console, but I would prefer a pc game.

This game is something like what I am looking for, but instead of you doing newspapers it is you doing actions that lead people to slowly start rebelling and rioting.

Just wanting to say thank you for all of your replies!

Haha, I have not played Red Faction. I think that's like an open ended free roaming game?

I would say...Payday 2 is very fun for that, but it's not so big spaced in the programming. Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines is, as a very true-to Los Angeles night life simulator, however again it's not so big in the geometric sense like that; but more linear depth. Very photorealistic characters and dynamic types of tasks like investigating some guy in an apartment who didn't pay back someone, some type of renegade vampire, etc. You can have fun feeding off civilians too.

But...I can't recommend Grand Theft Auto as it's not that varied. Just Cause is like an actual ACTION game, but GTA is just kind of nonsense that makes you feel like a psycho serial killer. If they spent less time doing nonsense drug references and all kinds of hobo culture, we'd actually maybe see more features like Rico hanging off of cars, sky diving and stuff off of mountains. Not sure how that fits in GTA though...but yeah.

Otherwise, you can try and play Max Payne 1 to sort of see that life, although it's a very linear straightforward path based game. But in my experience when you're trying to RP, it's the most fun to take simple kinds of games and value the texturing, level architectures, and all kinds of cool things. Gritty snowey rooftops, cheap hotels, classic kinds of faces that make it far into the crime world and their voices etc.

Although I'd say that...for a BIG kind of fun one, there aren't too many that are very well made. Jak 2 and Jak 3 for PS2 are very fun the first few times, but for that purpose of raw destruction can get a little bit old. Warcraft 3 had some neat maps in it like Life Of A Peasant, but the new mandatory-to-get remake of it makes older maps unplayable due to network crashes. Battlefield 2 (2004) is a lot of fun in a different sense (crashing planes, bombing your teammates vehicles, stabbing, etc.), however online servers are not supported in it anymore.

Assassin's Creed 1 is a bit too grim and glum to be that kind of thing, but Assassin's Creed 2 is neat with the really high up roofs. It doesn't feature much of the civilian attacking if you like that sort of thing, but it's big and all.

Hard to find those kinds of games sometimes!

Some of Star Wars games like KOTOR 1 & 2, maybe?

I played battlefront 2, the original one, not the new one, and I really enjoyed the galactic conquest that was in it.

Fable 3, you start the game as a prince or princess, your brother is a ruler. You realize he has become tyrannical so you start amassing an army of supporters to help you claim the throne over your tyrannical brother.

Good luck finding it on Steam though, was removed from the store years ago after Games for Windows Live was shut down.

It's not the best Fable and has plenty of flaws. But I still got enjoyment out of playing it, especially with multiplayer.

You'll have an easier time finding it for Xbox 360, it's also backwards compatible on Xbox One.

There's also Homefront The Revolution, a game I played through and finished, it wasn't great. At one point I felt like I had to force myself to keep playing it. The game was also broken and buggy at nearly every turn.

Honestly, with me remembering just these two games and even the RIOT game above. It seems like making a game about rebellion or revolution must be hard to do, because in the end most either end up uninteresting or broken after being made.

There's also Watch Dogs 3 a game that most definitely isn't politically charged in any way. Not released yet though, I'm already feeling like it's going to flop.

I played fable 3 a long time ago and yeah, the homefront revolution game I have heard has a lot of bugs and gets boring, but like just cause 3 was able to do it soo well, and red faction guerrilla, I wish I was a game dev cause I have an idea of a perfect rebellion game but I just can’t make it lol

I mean payday 2 and gta revolve around crime, I mean rebellion and riots are crimes but those are not the types of games I am looking for, I am looking for a game where you overthrow a government, kinda like liberating in far cry games and just cause 3, but I want a more realistic approach like red faction guerrilla where at the start almost no one supports you but as you go on people start to jump in and help you, there is probably not a game that can give me exactly what I want but I mostly just want a game where you rebel against a government and over take them.

I just remembered Jagged Alliance 2, it's an old game a RPG but it's about overthrowing a corrupt government in the form of a ruling queen that does bad deeds, maybe that would interest you?

If you choose to go with it check out the 1.13 mod. It's really good and recently updates often.

Sorta overlooked and underrated. But hey it's only on the EA store.

Ah a pity, if you play the game you barely notice it's turn based but anyway, again as always. Good luck ;) with the list.

I have seen this one and have considered buying it but thought it was only console, but now that I know it is on origin I might just get this one cause this is like what I was looking for.

Thank you, but yeah I am kinda picky when it comes to games, I just have this certain game in mind and i dont know if anything like it exists at all because I have not been able to find a game that is anywhere like what I want
