That Boss You Never Wanted To Kill

[Mr. Gency]

Any Boss is my enemy and if they stand in my way, they must pay.

Wait never mind

Spoiler: Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days spoiler

Xion. She's your best friend throughout the game and you have to kill her for the greater good... that's probably the most fucked up thing I've ever seen in a game.

Spoiler: This is the only Boss I didn't like killing.

 

[geddydisciple]

Kratos from Tales of Symphonia he was one of my favorite charactors.

Spoiler

Revealed in the second Tales of Syphonai for the Wii that Kratos is still alive and fly out in to space.

it said that at the end of the first tales of symphonia.

Well I don't know if it counts but Justice from Dragon Age Origins Awakening. He turned on me because I allied myself with the architect.

And isn't it always the case with the final bosses in the Tales of series? In the two games I played the main villain just wanted to help his homeworld

 

[Mikkaddo]

The Boss from Metal Gear Solid 3

I concur, as well as the Beauties. Hence why I did in each of them with non-lethals. Instead of watching them die, Snake just watches them . . . um . . . pass out? it's kinda creepy and akward, but hey, at least they have a chance at life right?


Aside from that the only ones I can think of are some of the Collosi. There's more than a few that aren't even concerned with you untill you start fucking with them. Especially the first one . . . he doesn't even know you're THERE untill you stab him in the leg and knock him down. I hated killing them . . . but I felt the path being taken was rightious enough that it was a worthy price to pay.

The Heretic from halo 2

The Heretic... thats that wierd alien thing that you play as or something isn't it?

 

[Silva]

I'm going to join the Symphonia chorus and say Kratos Aurion.

Thankfully, Lloyd is generally too idealistic to "kill" most of the characters in the game.

Zelos would be a better candidate in a way though, since in a non-canon playthrough, if you make him dislike Lloyd enough... well, you find out.

 

[HT_Black]

I never wanted to kill the dark ones in Metro 2033. Fortunately...

 

[TheIr0nMike]

The Boss from Metal Gear Solid 3

This

 

[Irridium]

The Colossi in Shadow of the Colossus.

Those magnificent beasts were just minding their own business, just chillin'. And here comes you and you just kill them all...

Whether or not the ends justify the means was/is up to you.

 

[real life potato]

Rundas, Ghor and Gandrayda in Metroid Prime 3 Corruption. They were good guys, but possessed by the enemy, and you had to kill them. The whole time I fought them, I just kept thinking "Don't make me do this, please". Especially Rundas, he kicked untold amounts of ass.

Rundas was a pimp among pimps.

 

[Ldude893]

GLaDOS. But that was until i found out she took my cake. ***** deserved that death.

She's still alive.

Seconded on Rundas. He did kick ass.

Also this.

Rest in piece you magnificent badass...

I think the term you're looking for here is 'antagonist'. Villains have to be evil; antagonists are just on the opposing side.

That being said, I hated killing Shinatama in Oni (a game, by the way, which all of you should play). Basically, she's an android that is life-bonded to you, only to be captured by your enemies and used against you. That was a tear-jerker.

I remember that. That made me very, very sad :'(

 

[Korten12]

Kratos from Tales of Symphonia he was one of my favorite charactors.

Spoiler

Revealed in the second Tales of Syphonai for the Wii that Kratos is still alive and fly out in to space.

but he never died? that wasnt a secret. 0.0 I remember he left with the planet thing (cant remember what its called.)

 

[Counter_Southpaw]

Selena from Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones. She charged to her death out of love for her country, nothing more.

 

[flame5029]

Sinclair from bioshock 2 he was my only friend in that game

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

Sinclair from bioshock 2 he was my only friend in that game

...This...
And to a lesser extent: every Big Daddy in the Bioshock series.

 

[The Youth Counselor]

Max Payne 2

Spoiler

Vladamir Lem was my favorite character in the series. He was also Max's friend. I was hoping we could've just had a chat and resolved our differences before things got too out of hand. Instead Max goes into his nightclub guns ablazing. Then Vlad he kills a bunch of people, shoots Max in the head and kills the love of Max's life.

 

[King Kupofried]

Zalbag Beoulve from Final Fantasy Tactics, the only one of Ramza's brothers that I liked, the one who came to his senses when he realize the intentions of Dycedarg were corrupt. A shame he had to die, and a shame you had to kill his possessed body.

 

[RatRace123]

In Jedi Academy

Spoiler

Kyle Katarn if you go darkside

Though you don't actually kill him, given that he's the Star Wars version of god, you can't kill him. The fight ends with you retreating.

 

[K4RN4GE911]

Probably Scott Shelby from Heavy Rain. He was a cool character.
