Pure blasphemy.People are going to kill me for saying this but
The Legacy of Kain series. It is pure edgy poetry.
Edgiest Videogames in the History of Edge Lords

"Edgy" being used to describe Devil May Cry 3's Dante just proves the word means little anymore.
He's a clownish glam rocker with a penchant for red leather, pizza, strawberry sundaes, heavy metal, and over the top fighting. He turns into this in Devil May Cry 4:
In fact, Dante in DMC 4 is used to contrast Nero's more serious, no nonsense nature. He's a confident, fun loving goofball who flat out refuses to brood over his traumatic past. He doesn't drink, smoke, or swear and eats tons of pizza and ice cream instead. He's pretty much the opposite of edge in the games. The edgiest he gets in the OG series is the anime and the writing makes it a point of pointing out how much a dork he's being.

Don'f forget this one:
I don't think I've ever cringed so much playing through a game.
I don't care what anyone says. I'll always love this game.
But the melodrama! The tyranny of the stars! "I am...your sword!"
Talk about being a literal edge
Raziel
In all seriousness edge has its place, it's just sometimes the game tried too hard to identify itself as being edgy.
Like in a better game this will be an okay-to-goodish design, but trying to sell it as Bomberman for adults yeeeaahhhhh isn't particularly helping.

You and i aren't gonna be friend, lol
Handsome Jack in Tales of the Borderlands makes me never want to play a mainline Borderlands game.
Cover art doesn't help either:

Well, it's got a surprisingly good gameplay and combat system. It's just that it's general atmosphere is just ugh, especially compared to Sands of Time.
This game also suffers from edgeiness, unfortunely. And sometimes to humorous effect!Edgy title at least.
"I spit at thee!...The Darkness...shall be ETERNAL!"
I have no excuse for not being a published writer.The Edge Gawd himself.
I honestly Dont see how you can beat his backstory.
Just... what?
Ahahah good one,I can see a bright future for this in the edgy category.
Maybe...that was the reason why it was on Wii?
Probably would have been better suited for a different platform than the Wii.
Also yeah, the setting could be considered edgy, but even Jack has a morbid sense of humor.
You might as well also include Anarchy Reigns as well.
Yes, that's when this game turned into a pure Skelator moment!
Eternal Darkness and Soul Edge at least have the excuse of being inspired by some pretty grimdark stuff, I think. Eternal Darkness is straightforward Lovecraft knockoff - probably closer to the original spirit than the usual use of the Cthulhu mythos. As for Soul Edge, I have the sneaking suspicion that it's heavily inspired by Berserk.
After a few minutes of Godsmack and some seriously over the top lines I actually turned this off and have not played it again since. I loved the hell out of Sands of Time and could not for the life of me understand why they felt like they had to go all DARK and BROODING for the sequel.
Oh yes, that edgy Shakesperian existentialism.People are going to kill me for saying this but

Delete this.
Warrior Within actually gets a really bad rap. The first 20 minutes are embarrassing as hell, but once the Prince makes it to the island, the tone is really perfectly fine and the Prince's demeanor cools off considerably. He's still lacking a lot of his SoT-charm, but the story and writing in WW, if not great, is still woefully misunderstood.
Well shoot. Maybe I need to give it a fair shake some other time then. I definitely did not get past the first boss.
It has edge in the title. I think that's literally it.
Man I thought this game looked awesome when I saw it in the arcade... never got a chance to play it though, which is probably for the best because evidently it's not very good.TIME KILLERS
It might be edgy but its still cool that dmc 3 one. Something that is edgy yet cringe the Shadow of the Hedgehog one is a good example
It was total garbage. You are fortunate for not dropping quarters on this piece of shit.
I have to disagree. I can't say it tried too hard when it succeed so well at being a total trip.

/thread, nothing is edgier than Edgy the Edgehog... except for,
the game itself wasn't really that edgy, but that ad certainly is.No Daikatana posts yet?
The 70s punk inspiration excuses DmC Dante. If you think his swearing is excessive, dig a bit into history.
DMC Dante and several related characters are edgelords though, Virgil especially.

Devil May Cry 1, 3, and 4 are so far from edgy. That's what I would call pure awesome cheese. DmC... now that game was trying hard to be edgy some of that stuff in that game made me cringe so bad. Dante in 1,3 and 4 is just a suave rock'n'roll clown that doesn't take anything serious.
Splinter Cell: Conviction was a try-hard edgy game that had me rolling my eyes 99% of the time. The part where I lost it was when Sam Fisher entered some sort of... super mode, for lack of a better term, and you could now shoot motherfuckers in the head without limit all while a "feels" electronica song plays in the background and some screen-shaking self-destruct sequence goes on. Yeesh.
Dmc was always tryhard. The definition of cool for the trench coat crowd. Dante/Nero never stop preening like they're about to start vogueing.
You can't call DMC3 edgy when it really isn't.
How about the fact that DmC has a sniper rifle abortion? Someone thought up that scene, they animated it, voiced it, and put it in the game.

The vocal tracks sure as hell are. Literally budget Rob Zombie.
