If you choose to react violently to being ignored, you are set upon and badly beaten by security guards and banned from the store. In the life-simulator Alter Ego (1986), there is one scenario where you are faced with a rude store manager who is too busy engaging in idle chit-chat to serve you.When Alice is healthy enough to finally leave the asylum, he then tries to hypnotize her, hoping to turn her into a prostitute as he had done with his previous patients. After he grows tired of Lizzie rejecting him, he sets her house on fire, killing her and her parents, and causing her sister to go insane. Bumby starts off simply as a Stalker with a Crush towards Lizzie, but he eventually gets worse. Soon afterward, when he finds out that Brenner is helping the Lazurians escape from captivity, Greyfield carpet bombs his position, killing Brenner and all of the surrounding soldiers in his area (including many of Greyfield's own New Rubinelle forces). Greyfield's reaction? He kills Forsythe and captures his army, threatening to execute them all. It's very easy to hate Admiral Greyfield in Advance Wars: Days of Ruin, although the clincher is when Forsythe, the honorable general of the enemy Lazurian Army, surrenders to him and takes responsibility for all of the bad things his troops have done.It makes it really hard to feel bad for him after Trigger shoots him down and injures him to the point that he can never fly again. Mihaly crosses it in the third level of the game when he ambushes your squadron mate Brownie, ruthlessly stalking her through the clouds and terrifying the poor pilot, taking his time lining up for the perfect shot until Brownie is screaming for help right before he finally puts her out of her misery.However, as the battle with him drags on and his sanity begins to erode, it becomes clear his real motivations for the attack have nothing to do with ending the war but are part of his fetishistic obsession for death and carnage, and really just wants to achieve the act of killing a million people from 5,000 kilometers away for his own satisfaction. The DLC gives us Mattias Torres, a charismatic but few-guns-short-of-a-Stonehenge Erusean Captain who initially seems ready to cross the MEH right off the bat by intending to nuke the Osean capital of Oured, if not for his justification that such a horrible event would end the war between Osea and Erusea, saving millions more.The Conservatives initially seem to be the good guys, but then turn out to be not so different when Osean forces on Tyler Island discover the bodies of civilians, including children who had been executed by the Conservatives. The Radicals specifically target their country's own crown princess simply because she was no longer of use to them as a PR figurehead to drum up support for the war. Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown brings us the two Erusean splinter factions, the Radicals and Conservatives, who, when global communications collapse, immediately begin fighting amongst themselves and targeting anyone who is not on their side, including civilians.It's a bit hard to feel sympathetic for the Leasath military after that. The Hamlet special forces unit from Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception unleashes a biochemical agent on the innocent city of Santa Elva in order to kill civilians.Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation: The Estovakians using the Chandelier on Gracemeria, for the sole purpose of leveling it, civilians and all.In Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War, even though it was hard to tell whether the Allied Forces or Belka was the good guys, an Allied bombing of the city of Hoffnung in Belka was just plain evil, and as a result, Pixy betrays the Allied Forces.When you manage to chase the Arkbird down, they change their objective from attacking Yuktobania to diverting to the nearest landmass and detonating their entire nuclear payload to catch as many civilians in the blast as possible, purely out of spite for their plan being thwarted. The ones who were actually behind the war, Belka, cross the line when it is discovered they have hijacked the Arkbird, the so-called "Bird of Peace," and intend to use it to drop nukes on Yuktobania from orbit, for the sole purpose of prolonging the war.Anyone would be pissed from these, even though the Yukes aren't the ones who started the war. Later in the game, the Yukes tried to bomb a stadium full of civilians, and Chopper died trying to protect them. In Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War, Yuktobanian special forces infiltrate Osea and unleashed nerve gas in Bana City, and try to massacre everyone, including civilians, at Apito International Airport.
