Best/Worst Major Villain? *spoilers*

[liquidious-fleshbag]

Good
-Saavedro (Myst 3): you kind of feel sorry for the guy. His rage may be misplaced but his actions seem almost justified.

That guy scared me, especially in those sequences where he tries to kill you if you do something wrong, like simply being near him. I did feel sorry for him in the end, though.

Good: Darth Nihilius. He eats planets. That is all.

HK-47(?) and GLaDoS. Robots/AIs with sarcasm and the love of seeing things killed are the perfect ingredients of a great villian.

Atlas/Fontaine tied with Master Sun Li (Jade Empire)-Both characters betrayed me so unexpectly and efficiently that it took me a while afterward to realize what the hell just happened.

Bad: Salazar. He doesn't ever do ANYTHING worth a flying shit. He just monologues and monologues and hides behind his much more awesome bodyguards. Pretty much every other villain in RE4 is cool, except him. I'll admit, when you finally do get to fight him it is hard, but I'll remember how long it was to get to that point.

Master Li was a good villain, but the end fight was not so hot. The glorious master of strategy and every martial technique ever has absolutely NO defense/offense whatsoever against "Jade Golem", so turn into one and trample that old piece of snot into oblivion while laughing at his futile attempts to take even one hitpoint from you...

Good: Shaft from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night - Posessing the hero of the previous games and tricking the player into the false ending? Pretty damn crafty.

Bad: Albert Wesker. Just too freaking annoying to be anything like a threat.

The Good:
Fontaine
GLaDOS (Can someone tell me if that stands for anything, if so what?)
Ganondorf
Dr Steinman. Okay not a main boss but come on!:
"What's this!? An intruder! He is UGLY! UGLY! UUUUUUUGGGLLLLLLYYY!!!!
Also Sander Cohen
Glukkons (and Sligs)
"We'll get that Abe guy! If my name ain't! Uh... duh"
"That's Drippick sir"
"DRIPPICK! I knew that", Stupid, but evil and funny.

GlaDOS = Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System. It's written on one of the whiteboards that Chell can see through the window.

Spoiler: And if you think GlaDOS is just evil...

Think back to Portal. GlaDOS was turned on 15 years ago. At the annual "Bring your Daughter's to work" day.
The redphone line in one of the last rooms was cut.
GlaDOS released neurotoxins before her morality chip was in place.
Now, 'Chell looks about early 20's. And Chell isn't really the name you'd give a woman.

However, it's very similar to how a 5-7 year old would pronounce Michelle.

And there are people that are 'Still Alive'.

Oh boy oh boy, I really liked Desann. He just looked so cool, and had a cool voice.

Also that game has a great twist, but thinking about it, the twist does lessen him as a villain somewhat? Anyone else who's played JK2JO agree?

Also if there's a greatest heroes, I wanna vote Kyle.

 

[Graustein]

Good: Giygas from Earthbound. The quitessential insane, unexplainable villain with a serious case of bipolar disorder.

No matter how hard I tried, I could not possibly agree more.
