Biggest Bastards In Gaming History

[Monkeytacoz]

The Water Temple is the biggest bastard that isn't a person

 

[Michailov]

<<<< Also this guy

Specially that guy!

The SkiFree monster defines bastardillity.

 

[metalcore42]

not a character in a game, but: EA
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-
why!??!? Pandemic!!!!!

 

[Andsre]

The Kid...
I swear, he taunts me!

Seymour from FF X. You only have to kill him at least 4 damn times! And he wants to turn into a massive killer whale and destroy the world to save it.

Uh, huh...all right then.

Seymour is less a bastard and more a prick. Honestly, SRTG (Saints Row 2 Guy) comes to my mind very quickly when we talk about gaming bastards. Seriously, that guy makes Tommy Vercetti look like a saint!

I don't know the biggest gaming bastard CHARACTER is, but my thought is that the truly biggest bastard in the gaming world is the developer. Think of it, the developer is the one who gives you the gameplay that makes you feel like a wretched monster, or rips out your heart, or that is just downright soul-wearying.

And of course, that's why we love those games

me in any modern warfare 1 or 2 match lawl , no seriously i'd have to say adam ryan from bioshock having you built so you could die thats a ***** and a half

 

[Grayjack]

Tim Langdell. That guy needs to shut up.

 

[VanQ]

Arcturus Mengsk from Starcraft's Terran Campaign. God what a bastard, he leaves Kerrigan to die with the zerg, and then crowns himself emperor of all the humans after stabbing you in the back.

I agree with this 100%

Michael Atckinson

Thank you, goddamn Atckinson taking away my Alien Versus Predator!!!

Thank the lord I'm a Brit living in Briton lol... Why don't all the Ozzy gamers not just rise up against him and vote him out of office?.

 

[Lordmarkus]

The Overseer in Fallout 1.
It should be obvious why.

Oh god I love that I had "Bloody Mess" first playthrough.

Never became angry attached to Shephard as everyone else. For me it's Frank Fontaine, Andrew Ryan, Imran Zakhaev and the AI director.

 

[GothamWriter91]

Erich Rohmer from Syphon Filter was pretty much a shitfaced ****.

 

[ma55ter_fett]

All those 13 year olds who shout obscenities in their high pitched voices over chat.

 

[Telveryon]

I myself would have to say that the G-man is the biggest gaming bastard in gaming.

How many shady characters do you know that have succeeded in turning Earth in a post-apocalyptic dystopia with but a handful of people knowing it was him?

 

[Christemo]

well i have a small list:

Shepard.
Tingle.
the Pokemon rivals (especially the ones from blue and crystal).
The Smoker (he ALWAYS pop up in the few seconds you dont want him).
Michael Atkinson.
the entire staff of Activision.

 

[Archetypal_Maniac]

Custer. Nuff said.

<<<< Also this guy

The SkiFree monster defines bastardillity.

Holy crap this brings me back! Thank you for that.

 

[Hazy]

Kefka is the most obvious choice.

The kind of shit that guy pulls throughout FF6... Whew.. Legendary.

 

[TheSeventhLoneWolf]

Alex Mercer, and also the monster from ski free.

On behalf of all LOTRO players out there: Sarah Oakheart

Oh...I remember her...

Other than that, I'd say either Morrigan from Dragon Age (just for being a complete *****), that old lady whose name I can't recall from Grandia 3 (it's the voice), or Nathan Drake (by reason of being Nathan Drake).

Custer. Nuff said.

From 'Custer's Revenge"?
