History GoodIsNotNice / VideoGames

* ComicBook/CaptainAmerica takes a dose of this in ''VideoGame/MarvelUltimateAlliance''.
-->'''Arcade:''' Captain America. I'd salute, but I think my arm is broken.\\
'''Cap:''' Don't be an idiot. Tell me what Doom is up to, or I really will break your arm.\\
'''Arcade:''' You wouldn't do that, that'd be torture.\\
'''Cap:''' After [[MindControl what you did to Jean Grey]], it wouldn't be torture, it'd be justice. Now tell me what Doom wants before I do something you'll regret.

* ''VideoGame/TraumaCenter'': Angie Thompson is TheLancer, strongly committed to her duties as a nurse, and means well for Derek, but at her worst can be an absolute brat; her temper and emotional immaturity often lead her to display obnoxious behavior that negatively impacts those around her.

* The New California Republic in ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'' is a post-war federation with a democratic government, a strong military, safe territories, and a very high standard of living by post-apocalypse standards. They're dedicated to the ideas of liberty, justice, and rule of law. However, their military can get heavy-handed in their efforts to put down their enemies, their government is corrupt, and they do many morally questionable things over the course of the games, including hiring mercenaries to terrorize Vault City ([[KickTheSonOfABitch a racist, slavery-based city state]]), dealing with the Bishop crime family in order to annex New Reno, hunting down Enclave members who never took an active part in the Enclave-NCR War years after it is over, using 'enhanced interrogation' on prisoners, and occasionally shooting surrendering enemies. They're still by far the nicest faction in the series.

*** Azura, Daedric Prince of Dusk and Dawn, also known the Lady of Prophesy, encourages her worshipers to love themselves as much as they love her, and is very benevolent and protective over her greatest servants, as seen in her treatment of the [[PlayerCharacter the Nerevarine]] from ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind Morrowind]]''. However, she has no compunction against expressing her displeasure in very nasty ways, having a cruel and often petty streak toward those who defy her in any way. She is a fan of DisproportionateRetribution toward those who wrong her, such as ([[UnreliableNarrator possibly]]) cursing the Chimer race to becoming the ashen-skinned, red-eyed Dunmer after their leaders, [[PhysicalGod the Tribunal]], defied her. Later, in ''Morrowind'', she [[spoiler:guides the Nerevarine into casting down the Tribunal under the guise of guiding him/her in defeating [[BigBad Dagoth Ur]], whose source of power just happens to be the same as the Tribunal's]]. In the years that followed, as an indirect result of these actions, Morrowind is practically destroyed as a result of the [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion Oblivion Crisis]], the "[[ColonyDrop Red]] [[ChekhovsVolcano Year]]", and [[SlaveRace the]] [[LizardFolk Argonian]] [[TheDogBitesBack invasion]]. The entire Dunmer way of life is disrupted, but Azura becomes even ''more revered'' by them as the center of their "New Temple" religion.

* [[VideoGame/{{Doom}} The Doom Guy]], especially in his [[VideoGame/Doom2016 latest incarnation]]. He is an absolute force of Good who is fated to rise up against Hell when it threatens to invade our universe. If you're a demon, he's also [[TheBerserker the]] [[TheDreaded last]] [[ImplacableMan thing]] you want to go against, as that will get your head split open with a clean shot in the best-case scenario, and [[{{Gorn}} your heart being ripped out and forcefully shoved in your mouth]] in one of the worst. If you're a human... well, you're safe, but don't expect him to have any respect for you or hear you out, and if you have something he needs, he'll just take it off you like it was his all along.

* Hakumen from ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'': One of the six legendary heroes who stopped the Black Beast. Is a dick. Not a total one, though. [[spoiler: He's an alternate timeline version of Jin, listed below. He's better than Jin in some ways and worse in others.]]
** From the same game, Ragna the Bloodedge has taken part in a [[OneManArmy one-man campaign of mass murder]] against the NOL, the body governing ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'''s world. He's also the closest thing that this CrapsackWorld has to a hero by being one of the few willing and able to take on the oppressive government and consistently shows that, despite his rough exterior, [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold he's a good man]].
** If his [[TookALevelInBadass newly found levels in badass]] and [[PetTheDog dog petting]], plus his apparent HeelFaceTurn at the end of ''Continuum Shift'', are any indication, Jin looks set to become this. Probably a bit more emphasis on the [[{{Jerkass}} "not nice"]] part, though.

* Jun Kazama from ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'' is generally portrayed as pure; however, the second Tag game and the animated movie show she's NotGoodWithPeople. Case in point, Tag 2 allows a trick to select win poses, one being a positive one, a high five, a fist bump, etc. Even with someone who Jun should like she's pretty aloof. It also helps that she's [[OneWingedAngel Unknown]], who does something most find rather uncomfortable should you lose to her.

** If his [[TookALevelInBadass newly found levels in badass]] and [[PetTheDog dog petting]], plus his apparent HeelFaceTurn at the end of ''Continuum Shift'', are any indication, Jin looks set to become this. Probably a bit more emphasis on the [[JerkAss "not nice"]] part, though.

** If he [[spoiler:survives Virmire]], Wrex becomes leader of the largest and most powerful Krogan clan in ''VideoGame/MassEffect2''. He does everything in his power to make the Krogan people a legitimate part of the galactic community, but in a society where {{Klingon Promotion}}s are the norm and {{Blood Knight}}s are plentiful, he has to be [[AsskickingEqualsAuthority pretty damn tough]] to keep his job.
