While I'm at it, I'm gonna go and argue that Nero and Commodus in Ryse: Son of Rome also count, being sadistic, bloodthirsty tyrants who also express no love for one another at all despite being father and son. Specifically, Commodus murders a man who was open to peace and orders his men to slaughter the rest, stages a gladiator reenactment of his atrocity that paints him as the hero, and is depicted as a selfish coward. Nero had, to my recollection of the game's story, a hand in the deaths of the protagonist's family, and also doesn't care what his corrupt sons do (including their committing war crimes abroad or running underground fighting rings where combatants duel to the death).
