Coolest videogame villain.

[TheWwwizard]

g-man (half life) and Kane (C&C)

Would you really consider G-man a villain? I mean sure he screws with Gordon in some ways but it's for the good of humanity as a whole.

Oh and uh I would say the coolest video game villain is probably Sephiroth... But that might change if I think of someone else who's more awesomely evil...

That's not even a contest.

Aight

I was hoping someone beat me to it.

Jack of Blades - The voice acting and design really sell him, it's really hard to take him for anything more than a jaded, has-been hero until he REALLY wrecks things up.

Sovereign - The most dwarfing speech ever in a game. The feeling of impotence and hopelessness he manages to convey on the first encounter is amazing. Especially when you realize later he was bluffing.

Pyramid Head - I have a hard time calling him a villain because of his motifs. But for sheer design, he's completely mindwrecking.

I liked Gary from Bully.

He was very flawed and human and his motivations were quite subtle and believable compared to most video game villains.

What, to take over the world school?
It's been a while since I played it, so if my memory is a bit wonky, I apologise.

OT: While Gary is certainly a good character, he's not really "cool" to me. Something along the lines of Vergil or the Reapers would probably be good for me.

Well to me, he just wanted to be the most popular kid in school in order to avoid being bullied himself.

Man, I loved Bully. Make a sequel already, Rockstar!

Guess that makes sense. I need to play Bully again some time.
I agree with the idea of a sequel. Just don't make it "uber realistic" a la GTA4.

ALBERT WESKER

Doviculus, no question.

...Need I elaborate?

 

[RileyFaux]

Deathwing

That is all.

 

[diabla616]

Agreed. Vergil was by far my favourite.

 

[Retardinator]

No villain thread is complete without Dr. Cortex!

I have to say he's always been my favorite.

 

[Lord Kloo]

Killzone's Scholar Visari and his General Radek.. The guy who wrote his powerful speeches should be helping world leaders to win back public confidence..

And Radek, wow, what an awesome-SS inspired-cool-general-dude.. I love space Nazis and the people who copy them..

 

[wolf thing]

kreia from kotor, she had some great dialog and had interesting motive expecaly compared to other villains for the star wars universe

 

[Artina89]

Albert Wesker. He has the moves and the accent. He is absolutely awesome. His personality and motivations suit the over the top cartoony writing of the Resident Evil games. Wesker is also one of my favourite video game characters, period.

 

[end_boss]

I know there's a bit of a backlash on the cliched popularity of Portal, but I still have to say that GLaDOS is probably the best villain in a video game I've seen in my 25 years of gaming.

 

[BoredRolePlayer]

Kefka, it takes a certain fellow to dress like a clown and destroy the world lol

 

[sms_117b]

Either Kane from C&C, he's just awesome

Or Sovereign(?) from Mass Effect, something about an ancient sentient machine just screams cool

 

[Leopard]

That's not even a contest.

Good choice. I think I'll go with Sejanus from Spartan: Total Warrior. A Pretorian Prefect sorcerer with an upperclass British accent. So cool.

Liquid Ocelot

SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!!!

Plus I love Liquid's Trolling face when he was retreating from Snake...

It looked like this:
