Best Villan Ever.

[Aitruis]

So, in response to the worst villan ever thread,

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.128408

who do you guys think were some of the greatest gaming villans ever?

I'm personally a fan of Irenicus from BG2. You start out the game with little more than the "power-hungry bastard" impression, and throughout the game he evolves into a ridiculously deep and involving antagonist as you learn more about him. No spoilers, obviously. Although if you havent played Baldur's Gate by now, shame on you.

Gaming villain. Good, good question, and it's a hard one to answer.

But if I'd have to guess, I would go with : None.

I don't know any goddamn ''good'' gaming villain.

I do know one: Major König (Ed Harris) from Enemy at the Gates

That guy is BAD. ASS.

 

[BolognaBaloney]

Liquid Snake, hands down.

 

[Cpt_Oblivious]

Can't argue with old LeChuck.

 

[TheLastCylon]

Can't argue with old LeChuck.

Seconded, what's better than a zombie pirate?

 

[ghalkhsdkssakgh]

GLaDOS. Hands down.

Oh, and while I'm at it, Shodan.

 

[Amnestic]

Can't argue with old LeChuck.

Yarr, I'll have to back this one up.

Sephiroth for sure! He is so awesome!Kawaiiii

Hahaha...No, thats a lie.

Andrew Ryan or Fontaine from Bioshock... although could you really class them as evil?

 

[TheBlackKnight]

Jon Irenicus

 

[NoSlottedToaster]

He isnt really a "video game villain" even though he was the final boss in Marvel Ultimate Alliance but the answer is Dr. Doom. Best villain ever hands down... even though he is a lame game boss fight.

Tough question....

Darth Malik was a good villain.

But I'm going with Saren. If you read the novel you'll understand why.

the giant half-butcher half-acrobat from psychonauts... i almost peed in my pants when i saw that...

 

[sms_117b]

Kane from C&C, by far the best villain, he's charismatic, determined, ambitious, intelligent and is unshakable in his beliefs.

 

[Rooster893]

Kazuya and Heihachi Mishima from the Tekken series. Kazuya was the devil (literally) and Heihachi was just plain bad.

 

[the_pleasure_is_mine]

Sephiroth is pretty badass so i think him and probably the mutant master from fallout 1

 

[klausaidon]

This isn't a video game villian, but perhaps damn well should be some day. Syler from Heroes is probably the creepyist super villian ever. I know, that has little to do with the actual question, but hell, I'm a maverick I guess.

 

[SlightDelirium]

Ramon Salazar, pain in my ass.

 

[zicoV]

GLaDOS from portal. Nothing like a homicidal, cake loving robot.

 

[Ultress]

Kefka, I know I saw him as a bad villian in the other thread but I can't help love that level of crazy and fun.

Murky and Lurky
