Top 10 Video Game Cults


you’re either with them or against them
enjoy the reunion with your old friend
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
video game cults I sort of fell into it
I guess I woke up here and I just stayed
after a while I became one of them since
we already have a list for the top 10
fictional religions and video games we
need to distinguish the difference
between a religion and a cult you know
the significance of today do you not for
the sake of this list any following that
has a dominant presence in their games
respective worlds such as the Covenant
from the Halo series is considered more
of a religion than a cult thus ruled out
for this list and true this is a time to
rejoice a moment that all the covenant
should save number 10 warriors of
sunlight Dark Souls rule number one
about joining a cult always inquire
about the benefits
players who swear their undying loyalty
to Lord Gwyn’s firstborn gain access to
the power of the sunlight in the form of
lightning magic the higher a follower
grows within the ranks the more miracles
they’ll gain along with higher
precedents to online co-op covenant
events with the many perks the warriors
of sunlight grant their followers
loyalty is something they don’t take
lightly as a player will be stripped of
their sunlight spear as well as half of
their sunlight medals if they ever
betray them number 9 citizens of rapture
Bioshock 2 out of your pain Paradise was
on without a functioning society people
are inclined to believe just about
anything I wish to remind each of you
that rapture is your city
the initial philosophy of rapture was a
society for those who sought to rid
themselves of the governmental and
religious constraints of the upper world
however it was this very freedom that
led to its downfall even in the naming
of it we refused to believe in its wake
came remaining citizens who were lost
and without meaning leaving them all too
susceptible to the word of Sophia lamb
but your suffering is over now these men
will ease your burden converting the
citizens to her ideology on how to
recreate society allowed her to forge
her own rapture family a group who
sought to turn Sophia’s daughter Eleanor
into a utopian free will if all number-8
the epsilon program grand theft auto 5
then I discovered an incredible truth a
truth so incredible that if I told it to
you now you would melt into nothingness
if it walks like a cult talks like a
cult then it’s probably a cult I become
a thesis bro in record time so Chris
said I could hunt for extraterrestrials
out here using this incredible meter
Cayman Islands native Chris Foreman
founded the epsilon program under the
false pretense that it was a religion
his followers call themselves epsilon
ist’s and based their belief in the
existence of multiple paradigms I’m so
happy to see that you understand
everything under their deity key Flom
the epsilon ESTs follow 12 tenets and of
course donate to their church in
exchange for salvation and merit badges
kefla gift um becoming a follower of
this cult takes not much more than
submitting a simple survey on their
website and of course pledging your
undying loyalty or dignity hello Jean
died oh are you ready
number seven the sixth house Elder
Scrolls 3 morrowind every rape god I
have here a cult doesn’t always require
a designated leader just an ideal
together we shall speak for the law and
the land and shall drive the mongrel
dogs of the Empire from moral women
housed a goth is the unofficial sixth
house of the Great Houses of morrowind
during its time the house was ran by
Boren Dagon a climber Lord that would
soon see his demise in the Great War due
to treason
with his house dismantled de Gotha
sought refuge in Red Mountain from
millennia until his power and influence
grew strong enough to call out the
remnants of the sixth house thereby
creating dreamers who seek to fulfill
his will come to me through fire and war
number six happy happy ISM earthbound
want to guess this cults favorite color
upon discovering the mani mani statues
hypnotism powers
mr. carpenter set out to make the people
of peaceful rest Valley see the world in
his vision Baloo those recruited draped
themselves in blue cloaks and wandered
the town with blue paintbrushes while
chanting the color the happy happy ISM
cult had successfully convinced
themselves that painting the world peace
would bring peace and that all those
that didn’t agree were opposed to them
the track number five the tree minders
fallout3 so it looks like you decided to
do things their way here’s a group of
people that bring a whole new meaning to
the term tree hugger such is our
tradition when honored guests are
preparing to leave the respect that the
tree minders hold for the earth has
transcended into following the word of a
mutant that has taken the shape of a
tree this tribal bunch can be found in
happening the Oasis and quite literally
live off the fruit of the land if it
wasn’t for oasis and bloom seer poplar
I’d be dead right now
while the cult has taken a solemn stand
against modern technology they can still
be found employing the use of firearms
to protect their sacred land yes what
can I do for you on this beautiful day
number four the order Silent Hill series
finally she will birth God one tip when
in the presence of this doomsday cult
don’t drink the kool-aid in hopes to
bring about the apocalypse and to
achieve salvation in the process this
delusional organization takes part in
sacrificial rituals that quite often
involve the use of young children
through means of drugs and brainwashing
the order has successfully recruited the
majority of Silent Hill residents into
their twisted religion which hasn’t only
rendered most of them insane but also
makes them responsible for the evil
entities that plagued their town and I
saw the dead the Great and the small and
they were judged according to their news
number three the true I cult Dead Rising
shall return you’re changing blunt
nothing like a zombie apocalypse to
bring the crazies out the origin of the
cult is somewhat of a mystery however
they’ve been discovered to have taken
refuge in Colby’s movie land in
Willamette Park View Mall during the
outbreak donning yellow raincoats and
green masks the followers roamed the
mall in search of survivors to sacrifice
as their leader Shawn Keenan has
convinced them all that they’ll be
spared the undead’s wrath if they do so
often seen traveling in packs the true I
cultists armed themselves with knives
knockout gas and explosives as they’ll
also resort to suicidal attacks when all
else seems futile
number two the unit ologists dead space
serious Unitologist believe that one
game all mankind will be united through
the power of a sacred artifact known as
the marker there are those that refuse
to believe that we’ve been put in this
universe alone and then there are those
that force others to believe it too
well you didn’t have a choice Isaac I
told you that was a cure and you came
running the Church of unit ology came
about from scientist Michael Altman’s
research of an ancient artifact that
made its way to earth called the black
marker oh my god
under Altman’s findings the artifacts
markings transcribed the fact that human
beings were the creations of an alien
race and that man’s purpose was to
reunite with our makers in heaven Oh
together with one purpose with one mind
with one song the false teachings
prompted its followers to partake in
sacrificial rituals as well as of course
suicide to achieve atonement
before we unveil our pick for the top
video game cult here are a few honorable
mentions
number one loss in new monado’s Resident
Evil 4 you’re nothing but an extra in my
script so don’t get too carried away
cult followers often stake their minds
and bodies for their religion but what’s
the price of one soul mister originating
in ancient Europe this cult based its
teachings on a parasitic organism called
Plaga that subjects its hosts to mind
controlled murderous behavior upon
obtaining possessions of the Plagas the
cult leader Osman Sadler and Napoleon
wannabe Ramon Salazar infected the
better half of a small rural region in
Spain with Sadler implanting himself
with the dominant species Plaga so that
he could assume control believe it or
not it takes quite a lot of money to
keep this church up and run recognizing
his vast influence Sadler sought to
infect the president’s daughter Ashley
Graham so that his reach could spread
through the entire world
early on I think they shot something in
my neck do you will be with our list
