likable than their respective

characters are necessarily bad but they
just don’t quite match up to their own
villains number 10 Sephiroth Final
the destruction of clouds hometown at
the hands of his nemesis Sephiroth is
what motivates cloud in his journey to
defeat him but this isn’t quite as
interesting as to why Sephiroth went on
his rampage in the first place upon
discovering that he’s the result of a
twisted experiment with the cells of
alien entity Genova he decides to desert
his soldier first-class position and
summon a meteor with the intention of
absorbing the life stream to make
himself a god and as cool as cloud is he

catch an HR maker fish showing up as a
secret boss in Street Fighter 2 turbo
Akuma’s only reason to live is to master
the satsui no hado and become the
greatest martial artist of all time the
arch enemy of Ryo and Ken and most of
the other Street Fighter heroes he often
struggles to find an opponent he deems
worthy of matching him in combats
however despite calling himself evil
incarnate
the fact he still abides by the moral
code of the warrior gets him a certain
amount of respect from the fans he’s
much more than simply another Shotokan
a long way to go
number eight gear ahem The Legend of
Zelda Skyward Sword link may be one of
the most recognizable and
longest-running heroes in gaming but his
quiet quest to constantly rescue
Princess Zelda would definitely be
getting old if not for some interesting
villains gear him like link this you
Zelda relentlessly only he does it so he
can eventually free the demon king
demise it’s his fault that link and
Zelda are even separated in the first
place as he uses his powers to summon a
but being incredibly powerful isn’t
enough to make him a great villain on
its own is also a theatrical narcissist
who sometimes hums his own theme Jun
number seven Kefka Palazzo final fantasy
6 what do you get when you let a
megalomaniac jester seize control of an
entire empire this guy by scheming
behind the back of Emperor guest star
Kefka becomes one of the most powerful
figures in the world and is also
hell-bent on destroying it
[Music]
this psychotic clown has absolutely no
regard for life for civilization and
even succeeds in splitting the world in
two as well as basically becoming the
god of magic it’s it’s off-the-wall
insanity and annoying laugh and kill
anyone in everyone mentality that makes
him such a popular villain number six
senator Armstrong Metal Gear Rising
revengeance just a little too late
as usual I’m strong in his bid to make
America great again this politician
plans to use the titular metal gear to
destroy the United States and everything
it encompasses is gold to create an
anarchistic and truly free state out of
the remains of the richest nation on
earth is what dr center come to blows
with ridin everyone’s favorite cyborg
ninja the Patriots planted the seed we
don’t need them around to filter and
foster their memes any longer we’re
spreading them just find ourselves every
despite is problematic methods however
the idea of a corrupt politician wanting
to get rid of other corrupt politicians
it’s almost as logical it is ironic with
modern politics becoming a quagmire of
controversies maybe there’s something in
the idea of a clean slate the week will
be purged and the strongest try free to
live as they see fit
don’t make America great never find
handsome Jack
Borderlands series you’re right on time
Keys nearly ready but before I cleanse
this planet for good I’m gonna avenge my
daughter it’s a bit of a kick in the gut
coming into Borderlands 2 to find out
that the credit for discovering the
alien vaults in the fist game has been
stolen from the original heroes by
handsome jack leader of the Hyperion
corporation Jack’s ultimate goal is to
take control of Pandora
by any means necessary and eradicated of
criminals even going so far as to
enslave his own daughter I’m your boss
which means I can terminate your
employment no no I mean I can see
through you I was just threatening to
kill you that wasn’t being subtle
however Pandora is a dangerous
playground for monsters and psychos so
his aim to civilize the planet and bring
some order to it isn’t entirely without
merits the ends justify the means after
number four the Joker Batman Arkham
series traffic on the Justice driven
Dark Knight may be an awesome superhero
but as constant brooding can get a bit
grating for some after a while this is
why we have the Joker as his ultimate
antithesis even after his death he still
finds a way to return in Arkham Knight
to get the last laugh and spends at
least half the game as Batman’s
hallucinatin companion we know that
Batman’s ultimately going to save Gotham
while the Joker’s true aims and even his
role in the story are often complex and
hidden behind the elaborate persona this
serves to make the Joker into one of the
most unpredictable and volatile villains
of all time number three Glaros portal
series you found me congratulations was
it worth it because despite your violent
the only thing you’ve managed to break
so far is my heart shell is the
archetypical silent protagonist but
because of this it’s sometimes hard to
have any real opinion about her however
your nemesis GLaDOS the evil artificial
intelligence in control of Aperture
Science is anything but silence I went
and spoke with the door mainframe let’s
just say he won’t be well living anymore
anyway back to testing throughout both
games she constantly insults and mocks
shell as she navigates the facilities
many death traps though you find
yourself actually missing her jeering
voice in the few chapters she’s not
around
even after potentially being redeemed
with her brief transformation into a
potato she just goes back to her plain
evil self we’ve come to know and love
we may even forgive her for lying about
the cake someday and our solution to a
problem is usually the easiest one
I watched with pride as you grew into a
weapon of righteousness from the moment
he was born Prince Arthas was raised
with the sole purpose of saving Lord
Arryn from the plague of undeath a noble
goal but it’s one he ultimately fails at
while he does manage to stop the plague
initially he soon corrupted by the
cursed sword
Frostmourne and becomes the leader of
the undead himself carrying out the
destruction he had been raised to
prevent it’s honestly hard to not feel
bad for the original Arthas who just
wanted to save his people from certain
doom I tell you this for when my days
have come to an end you shall be king
number one vos far cry 3 the Far Cry
franchise prides itself on its villains
but while pagan min and the seed family
aren’t definitely twisted none of them
hold a candle to vos a guy so insane his
most famous scene is defining insanity
he’s a character you won’t be able to
get out of your head insanity is doing
the exact same thing over and over again
speaker shit – Ching compared to the
game’s hero the last teenage tourist
Jason Brody who inexplicably becomes a
super soldier killing machine vas is far
superior
here’s enthralling dialogue interesting
motivations and a complicated past while
Jason was just caught in the wrong place
