Not reporting is bourgeois

Stalker and to a lesser extent tlou series are the only franchises that give petty criminals any form of dignity.

Cyberpunk’s gangs look like cartoon stereotypes. Fallout raiders look like BSDM enthusiasts. Yakuza is impossible to take seriously. Starfield’s “not-raiders” also look ridiculous even by sci fi standards. Cultists in darktide are bordering subhuman in their portrayal. Even some of doom’s human enemies feel like caricatures of real people.

Why does every game artist do this?

>why do the badguys look evil
I dunno. They are all just following the tropes set by A Boy And His Dog and Road Warrior and Zardoz, etc.

Because it's fun to kill them (or beat 'em up). If petty criminals were more sympathetic it wouldn't be as fun.

Yeah, that's weird, they're clearly just doing their job according to the game's plot.

I wouldn’t call stalker’s bandits to be sympathetic. Intimidating is a better word.

Tell me, which of these bad guys do you find easier to take seriously?
