Games that make you feel like a powerful, heroic B.A.?

What are some games that allow the player character to become the hero, to become powerful, to grow up and become the biggest baddest creature walking the terrain.

I'm in the mood to kick some axx. What are your suggestions?

Borderlands 2.
Especially when the motto is telling you to be a badass.

Getting an Exoskeleton suit in STALKER.

Saints Row: I love that series.

Devil May Cry: haven't looked into that one yet.

Far Cry: Blood Dragon ... I love the Far Cry series, and blood dragon is HILARIOUS to me (having been a teenager during the 80s, I get all the jokes), but the actual blood dragons (in the nest, defending the eggs) kicked my ass. I gave it up.

MGR: I was a HUGE fan of Metal Gear Solid back about 15 years ago, but haven't checked out the more recent games. I've heard some good things, though.

Shadow of Mordor: absolute yes. It's a great game.

Borderlands 2 ... no. just no. BL2 is my most played game with over 200 hours, but I've just come off a TVHM run, and while it finished pretty well, UVHM is a mindless grind. It's like wearing down Mt. Chomolungma with a nail file.

STALKER/SoC is a very atmospheric game (and has a LOT that I LOVE), but the bad guys are bullet sponges, and tbh, I'm 45: my aim ain't what it used to be. I just couldn't get into it. Takes a bit more skill than I've got.

Doom is insane. I played the originals when they came out. Played Doom 3, and loved it ... especially with god-mode turned on.

The new doom looks beautiful, but I might be getting to old to play fast-paced games like that.

Pac Man.
Once you eat that power pill, nothing whatsoever can touch you.

In Borderlands, MG, Saints Row etc. you can still be killed.

Any Bethesda RPG.
To be honest I hate that feeling of being OP and I'm always trying to fix it with mods, I just like the feeling of overcoming apparently insurmountable odds.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned Serious Sam.

Funny, I was just about to mention that one.

As already stated, Shadow of Mordor is quite fun.
Doom I would assume?
Tomb Raider
Assasins Creed
Shadow Warrior
Dragon Age
Two Worlds
Witcher
Bioshock
F.E.A.R

*edited.. I may not be doing this right, I feel like a B.A. in all my games.

True to a point. The one thing I like about Bethesda RPGs is that it's optional to become powerful. You can control ye'self, and keep everything as a challenge, even without mods. Mods just makes it even better.
