You've become the main antagonist in a game

[pulse2]

Just sit there at a desk at the far end of a room and do something harmless like stack cards or read a book. If he tries to engage in conversation just act polite and cool and be like "well I guess you gotta kill me then, best go ahead and do that". No way is any hero going to attack a man who is sitting down, being polite and clearly not defending himself.

Either that or repeatedly use cutscenes as a form of attack and if it all starts to go bad just force him into a flashback, then run away while he is reliving the moment.

I think if you killed his family and burnt down his village he would consider it

Nope! Remember this is videogames. Some lame ass railroading would stop the protagonist from attacking and then I would give him a quest. Once you give them a quest its all over, they can't do anything. The protagonist has to begrudgingly perform the pointless task no matter what and by the time he gets back ill be off. Every played Fable 2? Remember Reaver? Yeah thats the tactic im going for.

Realistically, the boss fight's over in about three seconds.

I hack Resident Evil 1 and 5, then torment the player with Barry audio and the S&W M500 with infinite ammo. 5000 damage per shot, suckers! Did I also mention I hacked Dawn of War II so I have a chainsword that heals me when I hit you with it?

 

[fates_puppet13]

i'de be in a franchise and thus run away to make a sequal

either that or its a horror game in which case
lets see you beat me now that you have to run for dear life

 

[YawningAngel]

A WILD PLOT TWIST APPEARS

 

[Xaio30]

I would first check the great list of "Things That Must Happen Before The Hero Can Die" and then finally execute him in any dramatic, heroic, martyristic way he wanted.

Because in the end, I am alive and he's not.

 

[gothic wolf]

Pretend to of commited suicide and when the protaganist turns aroun to leave stab him in the back. No quick time end of game i win

 

[Semudara]

I would play the "sympathetic villain" card. You know, I had to kill your family to save the alien world that I come from. Something like that.

If the hero continues to approach me menacingly, I would launch into a ridiculously long monologue. I'm hoping the player will get bored to death and just turn off the game.

As a last resort, if I get killed I'll just revert to my "true form". That never fails!

 

[ReaperzXIII]

Start crying and bawling my eyes out, kneeling down begging him for my forgiveness saying that I had to do it for some slightly heroic reason, start mentally beating myself up.

The hero would then be hesitant and not realize that I have just stolen his weapons and shoot him in the face then hack it so it is a permanent game over screen and the game blows up.

No more hero.

Or I would corrupt his save data every single time and kill him dead in the beginning level so I can just practice weird creative ways to kill the same protagonist the same way every single time.

This would be more interesting if it is what would you do if you were the main antagonist.

I would make sure that I'm level 99 without any other creatures in the vicinity that the player can effectively grind from and hit him with my insta-kill attack over and over again. I would also get rid of any pesky, blinky weak points that I never got around to covering.

 

[Nyrad01]

Tell them I'm their father. It worked in Star Wars, and unless there is an out cry for a sequel nothing could possibly go wrong!

 

[triggrhappy94]

give the portaginist the option to join me, then the option to spare me.
Let's hope he's not playing as a nuetrol character.

 

[Free Thinker]

His strength comes from chest high objects! How could I have been so stupid to decorate my entire fortress with chest high furniture! I shall remove anything chest high or lower so the hero may never draw from their power to wipe raspberry jelly from their eyes!

 

[Raddra]

Faceheel turn and join the player as a party member after showing that I was holding back the real evil all along or was being manipulated by the real evil and want to defeat them to make amends.

Works every time!

 

[wetfart]

I would remove one of the platforms from my level. No matter how much he tries to make the jump, he'll never reach me.

Barring that, I'd simply use my super spell that deals damage equal to 1/2 your max HP and spam it.

 

[Raziel_Likes_Souls]

I'd make the player control me halfway through the final battle. Oh wait.

 

[Neo10101]

Easy, Im the final Boss on IWBTG and Ill make sure the difficulty is on impossible, Ha! Good luck getting to me in one life, *****!

 

[Biosophilogical]

Practice my "purple tentacle attack"- it kills in one hit but can be easily dodged and stuns me for a couple of seconds.

Im bound to win!

EDIT= or make sure the game is Demon's Souls, hoping that the guy will fail enough times so he breaks the controller in rage.

And put Pits everywhere. Nothing is more annoying then not being able to dodge cause of pits.

OT: Traps. Thousands of Traps. So many traps that if they enter the room they get killed instantly.

Even better, have teh entire floor/walls/roof covered in traps, but all the traps do is launch them into a a narrow, straight pathway down the centre of the room. Then, I use the super-secret-instant-kill ability that every annoying boss has. So he can dodge it (which makes him bounce uselessly around the room until he lands on the pathway again), or die. Eventually I'll win.

OT: I'd be that evil thing that absorbs people, like the spiderman symbiote crossed with Buu from DBZ (or is it GT?): I absorb them and take their form/abilities. So they'd 'kill' me, then a tiny bit of me (microscopic even) would float invisibly through the air, into their lungs, and the final cutscene would be them writhing in pain as their body is slowly absorbed by me. Then it's time for a sequel.

EDIT: Actually, better idea, the previous person I'd possessed (basically, the source of my power) had been able to open dimensional rifts (hence the hordes of demons I'd used to attack him), so when I absorb/possess the protagonsit, I send him/me back in time (before I actually absorb him, so I can still do it) to his childhood. I finish absorbing him so I still look like him, I have all his memories, all his powers, etc, and now there are two of me. All I need to do is go find myself (and the protagonists powers can apparently get me to the final dungeon), merge with my former self, meaning I now have both powers (protagonist and dimensional rifts) and whenever a new protagonist tries to kill me, repeat the process. Eventually, I'd be invincible, having every conceivable super-power ever.

I mean sure, I know I could just say that I keep my former powers from the get-go, but having to go back in time to get both powers is basically an excuse for replay value (like if you finished Fable: The Lost Chapters, and wish you could go back and play through as Jack of Blades (because you put on the mask but then you can't do anything, whereas if you went back in time as the possessed-hero, you could play through again, have an excuse for 'new game+ extras', and actually get to do something with the possessed-hero plot device).

 

[LFC Scouser]

Leave unsubtle hints around the game world that there is only one weapon that can hurt me make them go on a huge quest that is very hard. So they get the weapon and confront me I act all surprised that they have it so they attack me but the weapon in truth doesn't hurt me so I pretend to die. Then when they loot my corpse for my bad guy let you get out of the boss fight key I jump up and use my special insta kill attack on them.
