Coolest videogame villain.

[Cobbs]

AS the title say's, name your personal favorite video game villain, and why.
For me it is The Crawler off Fable 3. He/It manages to be both menacing and awesome at the same time, and the way he just gets into peoples heads is brilliant.

I really loved to hate Jack of Blades from the original Fable game. There's something about a masked villain...

 

[MiracleOfSound]

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.

G-Man's a villain?

 

[oplinger]

Ramirez!

...No no no, not the "defend burger town with this tooth pick" Ramirez. The one from Skies of Arcadia.

Yea he was a fun villain. I really disliked the part where he locked up the hero for a few years. I was happy to kill him both times.

"Coolest", eh?

I'm going to have to go with:

Pretty much this. Gary is just another human, a slightly insane one, but still only human.

 

[The Madman]

Coolest villain eh? Hm... nope, by default 'Best Villain' reply still counts: SHODAN

 

[DJDarque]

My favorite villain ever. Hm.

Spoiler: How about Twinrova?

This boss fight is my favorite boss fight from any game ever.

Currently there's no conclusive evidence that points to Gman as being a villain. In fact, most theories point to him being specifically opposed to the Combine.

Magus isn't a villain. You start-out with the impression what he's a villain, but once you learn his back story you realize that you and him were on the same side the whole time. Really he's more of the anti-hero; the guy who fights for good, but doesn't necessarily follow all the rules.

Anyway, my favorite villain (without putting a whole lotta thought into it) is probably Kefka. Insanity and power are just a scary mix to think about.

Albert Wesker, Resident Evil

At the beginning of the RE:Remake, he saves Chris's life, but by 5, he's a totally exaggerated awesome villain that's not believable at all.

That really depends on the ending you end up with and the path you take. He's still a crazy kidnapping vampire wizard.

That's not even a contest.

i don't see G man as a evil person he is more of a watcher of sorts hes not in anyway connected to the disaster it seems like it just watches what happens to Gorden he more Neutral in a way.

Shodan.

IIRC, the only ending where he remains a villain is if you beat the game right before going to his castle, and the ending is Frog going through the castle solo. Also, who does he kidnap, ever? Granted it's been a while, but I don't remember that at all.

Also, I think I'm going to have to change my reply to jump-in with the Shodan crowd. I still love Kefka, but I didn't notice that this was a "Coolest" villain topic, and Shodan has that in spades. I mean honestly, just tell me this isn't awesome:

First minute of this one is good, too. Decent mindfuck for such an early game; when the room just changes and BAM! Hello, Shodan.

Wesker. Wesker is so amusing, plus his accent is so dreamy......Yes, I am male. Moving on.
I think Wesker for his hilarious exagerated personality and that he catches rockets.
