Biggest Bastard in a game

When it comes to videogame characters I think are real bastards, the only one that comes to mind is Kefka. He committed horrible acts for no reason, treated everyone like crap, and on top of everything he was just so damn annoying. His laugh in particular grated my nerves. But the icing on the cake was that this annoying little prick got the greatest power in the world and used it to destroy pretty much everything. After that the only reason I played through the game was so I could kill him. He is truly the only videogame character that I can't stand.

Also he was a clown. That by itself makes him a bastard

The biggest bastard in a game would have to be my friend Mat, there is no one else i know who can make and break alliances quicker in rts (if we are at a LAN party he will very quickly set up official alliances and un-official alliances and promises of assistance to every other player there and then systematically play them off against each other and betray them all), he is the supreme master of the backstab, if friendly fire is on in a fps you had better be watching over your shoulder constantly or he'll be standing over your corpse giggling like a schoolgirl, when we used to play wow he would try and get the group wiped in the most imaginative ways possible, he just takes great pleasure in being a bastard (fortunately he?s a very funny guy so we haven?t lynched him yet)....
Oh and he's just finished training to become a doctor, if you live in the UK don't go to hospital, it could be him treating you (we've already nicknamed him mal-practise mat)

"Aargh! Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!"

Backstabbing the other player is the POINT of alliances.

We always used to do 4 player games on Worms, and it usually involved a "gentleman's agreement" to gang up on one player. And it was never about who won, it was about who could perform the most critically damaging and humorous betrayal of The Team.

Uncle Paulie - The Darkness.

The classic mob asswipe, all mouth and ego, without the brains or muscle require to back it up. Plus, he has an orphanage blown up, tries to kill your 'Auntie' and winds up illing your girlfreind. I call that pretty bastardly.

Does this include bitches (women)? I'd vote April Ryan from The Longest Journey. The must unsympathetic character EVER. I've been more sympathetic to a Barbie doll. And the bloke who lives across her apartment who swears in almost every sentence for bastard.

Ah, hell, all the characters in TLJ are actually.

Legato from Eternal Sonata.

HUGE SPOILER WARNING! AVERT YOUR HUMAN EYES!

Now, Count Waltz: He was a visionary, a man with a plan. He wanted a powerful army with which to rule the world. He was going to mix agogos with mineral powder, because he could.

Then you kill him. Now, Legato is facing you and god knows he can't fight well. So he decides to drink the Uber-mineral powder. YOU STUPID FU-DUCK! He turns into a huge demon thing and rips a hole in time and space, and you need to go to the ends of the earth to make things right again.

Everything was going to be alright, but he screwed it up!

Shirro, from One Must Fall 2097

That's mid-90s AI for you, I guess.
Give this user a prize.
But Raven in the demo was far more evil. Thankfully, the game is now freeware, and now I can rip him a shiny new hide in my Chronos regularily.

Biggest malovelant evildoer in a game I've played? Hmm... some options here...

- Obviously, Maximillian, Shen Yu and Alexis are up there in the list for being the only ones who get the whole thing right [Evil Genius]

- Marquis de Montalban deserves a good mention for being pure hearted malicious. He enslaves your family, hides them all over the Spanish Main, and makes your life a living hell for approximately TWENTY ODD YEARS of game time. During this period he steadfastly refuses to die easily until you finally corner him in the middle of his doom fortress, and repeatedly sends his minions to taunt you with clues on the location of your missing relatives and kidnap your girlfriends. Clearly, this is not a man who'll be winning a Nobel Peace Prize [Sid Meier's Pirates]

- Second Place for me is Adrian Ripburger. For believing anything with four wheels are greater than motorcycles. Oh, and for braining his aging boss over the head with a baseball bat. [Full Throttle]

- Sadly disqualified because I've still yet to play the damn game is SHODAN. [System Shock]

- My choice must go to Tommy Vercetti. Hands down, most malicious, hard hearted person I have ever had the pleasure of playing as a protagonist in a murder simulator. [GTA: Vice City]

- Honourable mention goes to Wild Dog. For simply being a regular target of my "why won't you just stop shooting me and DIE ALREADY!?!" screaming moments as I fumble in my pockets for another coin to shove into the machine as the Continue counter ticks into the single digits... [Time Crisis]

(I narrowed this list down from including GLADoS, half the cast of Starcraft and Domino Hurley. Domino probably deserves better...)

I dunno whether that counts, he was only following the original plan. Someone would have got the super monster juice, he just happened to use it on himself. (Also, he doesn't seem to break the world very much, he just opens a portal to the world of the dead, and most of the dead are pretty personable chaps)

Shirro, from One Must Fall 2097

In this obscure (But fun) giant-robot fighter from the PC's tournament mode, one of the worst opponents you'll ever face is Shirro, because he has the highest amount of power in the game (Player characters are all given a certain amount of power, endurance, and agility) and always chooses the Thorn (One of the giant robots you can pick) as his robot, which incidentally is one of the most agile in the game.

Basically after that his whole gameplan broils down to "Dash, Grab, Toss. Dash, Grab, Toss. Dash, Grab, Toss."

That's mid-90s AI for you, I guess.
You ever see the hidden characters? They were absolute bastards, to a man, turtle, or rabbit. Had stats well in excess of any of the normal career fighers, but if you could beat them and pull a total destruction move (I could only do the Jaguar's so I kept that) you got a special enhancement (usually multifire on projectile moves).

OMF is still the PC's only decent home grown fighting game.

Let's see, Atlas from Bioshock broke my heart when I found out he was a gangster rather than John Galt. Then you have everyone in a GTA style game, Mario (he crushes little mushroom people who he could just as easily outrun), the Taiidan from Homeworld are quite the douchebags when they incinerate your planet just for kicks, and finally, you've got Dr. Breen. I think we all know why he deserves such an honor.

Being fair, you needed to pull off Destruction moves to fight those. You dug your own graves.

Add Devan Shell to my list of baddies. Meglomaniacal turtles who declare intergalactic war on rabbitkind based on Aesops Fables? Reminds me of Bucky O Hare, and Bucky was awesome.

There needs to be a Jazz Jackrabbit 3.

Among characters you play as, Travis Touchdown from No More Heroes. This guy is an assassin who loves killing so much that not only does he get paid to kill, he pays to kill. He also routinely runs over pedestrians, street/traffic lights, and even trees with his motorcycle.

Among enemy boss characters, definitely Ashnard from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. Taking over Crimea was nothing compared to some of the other stuff he did...

*ENORMOUS SPOILERS*

He personally killed his entire family and much of the peace-loving heron tribe, then indirectly caused the death of the rest of the herons. He enslaved much of the laguz population of Tellius by treating them with a special poison that enhanced their power at the cost of their sanity and much of their lifespan. One of them even became his battle mount, and then Ashnard hired this one's former fiance to battle to the death in order to save his country, knowing she would lose and the country would fall into ruin. And much of what he did, he did knowing that it would lead to a giant flood capable of drowning the entire population of Tellius.

The Chosen from 7th Legion. (I would have a spoiler warning here, but everything there is to know about the story comes from the intro cinematic and the instruction manual. Seriously.) The story of 7th Legion is that the world became overpopulated, and so the government decided to evacuate people from the planet in order to escape the ensuing famines and plagues, and come back when the planet recovered. However, only the smart, powerful, and rich were chosen. Everyone else was left to die.

The people left behind got pretty pissed and decided that they wanted to get revenge against the Chosen when they got back.

In that game, every time you beat a mission, you see a short cinematic scene that has no story development whatsoever. If you beat a Chosen (Red Guys) mission, then you see some Chosen units brutally killing some 7th Legion (Blue Guys) units and vice versa.

But what makes the Chosen such horrible bastards is that they're pretty much Nazis. They're not just satisfied with wiping out the 7th Legion. They want to kill them in the most brutal ways possible, and even then they're not satisfied. They also have to kill random animals for shits and giggles. Even their symbol looks somewhat like a swastika. In one 7th Legion mission ending, a Chosen soldier sees a lizard, and then for no reason at all, he starts stabbing it to death with his bayonet. Then a 7th Legion mech steps on him and the cinematic ends.

One Chosen ending shows a 7th Legion guy admiring a random bird while some peaceful music plays, then he gets run over by 3 Chosen tanks, and the camera focuses on his upper torso as he lay screaming and dying. Another one shows a 7th Legion getting shot while taking a piss.

The 7th Legion's last mission ending shows a row of Chosen soldiers bound and on their knees. A 7th Legion soldier shoots them all in the head. On the other hand, in the Chosen ending, their positions are switched, and the Chosen decide that headshots aren't brutal enough, so they go with running them over with tanks.

-Frank West: I know I left a few people to get surronded by zombies if they annoyed me just to get a few snapshots. Who hasn't done that? Also what gives for killing to children (the sniper kids). After you kill the dad it just seems so unnessissary to hunt the rest of the family.

-Stubbs the Zombie: I'm not to sure, because it's not really being an arsehole if you're doing what's normal to you. But you are eating innocent people's brains of people that generally want to live (teens, citizens) or save others (cops, soldiers).

-Jack Craver: Seriously, he has mutant powers. A bit of an over kill to the terrorists who sometimes try and escape.

Tequila (and any other game hero that can perform nut shots): See left.

Gordon Freeman: What did those antlion grubs do to you?

I'm gonna say Mario. You'd think after having Peach kidnapped so many times he'd see it coming and do something pro-active. But no, it keeps happening. I think he actually ENJOYS having to save her time and time again. The sick bastard.

No one's said the voice-in-your-head guy from Crackdown?
*SPIOLARZ!*





The Agency sets up three gangs with uber tough leaders making up the ranks of each one and have you run through the city killing them all just to make the people complacent to thier will? And on top of that he repeats the same irritatingly bad lines over and over and over again.

Maybe he's playing out a sexual fantisy of his.
