Evil charachters you can't help but like

[Double A]

I think Starscream is freaking awesome, despite being a bit incompetent (but, hey, he's a Decepticon, whadaya expect?). Same deal with Tarantulas, even though he's technically a Predecon. And Waspinator.

Yeah. Definitely Waspinator.

Saren from ME2.

Nuff said.

He died like a true Spectre.

In extreme pain?

Spoiler

He realized the error of his ways and momentarily wrestled control of his mind from Sovereign and killed himself. He neutralized a threat to the galaxy (himself) and died in possession of his own mind.

I know. I was making a joke.

And you don't have to spoiler games that are over 3 years old. The rule actually stops at one year. 3 is overkill.

 

[ConnorB96]

Dimitri Rascalov from GTA IV.

 

[SteewpidZombie]

I gotta like the Helghast from Killzone. Even though they are the 'Antagonists', by all rights they should be more like the 'heroes'. They were forced from their homes by the so called 'Protagonist', and they are finally striking back and slowly defeating the (evil) 'Protagonists'. While they are technically the 'bad guys' and are a total dictatorship...it's kinda hard to hate them for it, considering 'They' are the same type of characters you spend every other game playing (The oppressed rebels who rise up and raise a army to combat against their cruel oppressors, so that they can reclaim the land...er...planet that is rightfully theirs).

Sorry, I often over think things. I just want to be respectful. I'm currently playing Bioshock for the first time and would not enjoy spoilers. Just want to apply the Golden Rule.

Vegeta and Sephiroth. Nuff said

 

[Vault101]

I know I'm probably a minority here, but I freaking love Wallace Breen from Half-Life 2. From the start of the game, where he's amiably delivering his propaganda to the citizen populace, all the way to the final confrontation with him as his arrogant persona gradually shatters as Gordon gets ever closer to destroying him until he finally breaks down and pleads he be spared for the good of humanity.

Oh, and the Gman, even though he isn't officially evil (and I like to think he isn't).

its also especially satisfying ripping arpart the TV screens with the gravity gun as he is giving you his "what have you created..." speech its just funny the bullshit hes trying to tell you to make you feel bad

yeah but its polite, somtimes you dont get around to playing a game for a long time, to accidently stumble upon a spioler is annoying

 

[Lordmurdalot]

Alucard from hellsing

so psychotic its funny

 

[Imat]

Albert Wesker
Revolver Ocelot
Hawke from Advance Wars
Scolar Visari from Killzone

can we make a new forum to discuss which New Vegas society is the good society?

There was no good society in New Vegas...They all had major downsides. The trick was to find the society you most wanted to support. For me that was NCR, hands down. Best chance of rebuilding the country as a whole, and not a group of crazies like the Legion. Of course, neither of those things truly matters at the end of the game, which is why my next character (I'm thinking melee strong-man) will be going the route of the Legion.

Honestly though, I prefer the BoS to any of the major factions in NV. Sure, the Mojave chapter is not as citizen-friendly as the DC chapter, but overall I find them the best.

And, while we're on the subject of Fallout: Super Mutants. I was happy when I met Fawkes in 3, then NV gave me an entire town of friendly giants. I was happy to unite with my much larger brethren in peace.

 

[brunothepig]

Some others have said Spike from Buffy, GLaDOS from Portal and The Joker from Batman... I agree.
As for my contribution. Darth Vader! Come on people. I do mean ignoring the prequels...

 

[Deadlock Radium]

Gilroy from Burn Notice is a bastard, but I kinda like him and his title "Freelance Psychopath".
Also, Larry from the same series, because he is also somewhat of a psycho.
And then we've got the villain in the film "Gamer", solely because it is Michael C. Hall.

 

[DanielBrown]

Does Kratos count? He's not exactly a sweetheart and I love him, so he's the one I choose!

 

[-Drifter-]

Gaston, from Beauty and the Beast. He's arrogant, pigheaded, pompous, and a moron. But he's so damn charismatic I can't help but enjoy the character whenever he is on screen. See also: Facilier, Jafar, Scar, and Maleficent. Also Kronk, but he's not evil.

yeah this seems to be what disnsey does best (well used to do best), Scar being my prime example

Personally, when it comes to evil talking cats (animated by Disney) I prefer Shere Khan.

 

[SuperGoomba64]

I've got a huge list, but one of my personal favorites would be..

Popple from Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga.


I just love those shady thief-type characters, but he's also got a few other qualities I can't help but such as his overconfidence, short temper, his mobster-esque "see?" that he ends his sentences with, and the overall sillyness he brings with him when he shows up.

Not to mention he's got the best theme in that game hands down.

Just a shame you don't see him outside of that one game.

 

[Commander Jack Rankin]

I'll go with good ol' Bowser because he's the Wile E. Coyote of gaming. No matter how many times a certain tubby plumber wrecks his shit, he always comes back. He's got no quit in him.

 

[Bloodastral]

Iago and that Necro dude out of Heroes of Might & Magic V

 

[ButanicXpandA]

Hannible lecter i find is my favourite evil guy, i like cold and calculating

 

[SkyeNeko]

Also Kronk, but he's not evil.

hahaha i love that movie. and kronk. i love kronk 8D. on the opposite side of the spectrum, all the handsome evil men. they know who they are ;D

 

[Reaper195]

Darth Vadar and Sephiroth.

 

[starwarsgeek]

Gul'dan.

Arguably the only major villain in Warcraft that freely chose evil.

Deathwing, Sargeras, and Loken were driven insane. (and Cho'gall was nuts to being with)

Azshara and Kael'thas didn't really have a choice but to serve the Old Gods and the Burning Legion

Arthas, Ner'zhul, Xavius, Medivh, Archimond, Kil'jaeden, the Scourge, the Old Horde, and most of the Burning Legion were corrupted.

The Old Gods and any demons not corrupted by the Legion (such as the Nathrezim) are simply evil by their nature.

Illidan, depending on how you interpret him in Burning Crusade, is either a well-intended extremist antihero, or he was driven insane/corrupted by the Skull of Gul'dan.

Malygos was a well-inteded extremist antihero.


When Ner'zhul discovered that the orcs were being used, he broke down. Gul'dan discovered the truth at the same time. He took his chance to take over and lead the orcs down a road of damnation that directly or indirectly affects every event afterwards. He views his entire species as a means to an end and thinks nothing of making them slaves to demonic influence, or taking two entire clans in search of ultimate power the night before a huge battle, costing the Horde the war.

He's evil because he wants to be, which really sets him apart from others in Warcraft.


Also, Revolver Ocelot for his complicated plans and backstabbing ability. I really want to see Konami vs. Capcom, simply to see him working with Wesker, another backstabbing fanatic.
