just because you go in with the best
intentions doesn’t mean it’ll turn out
the way you hoped Oh welcome to
watchmojo.com and today I’ll be counting
down our picks for the top 10 video
games where you’re unknowingly the
villain I have undergone a spiritual
cleansing the warrior Knight will have
detected an evil stain upon my soul for
this list we’re looking at games and
characters where you initially don’t
know that you’re doing something bad
until the inevitable twist occurs of
course games where you willingly take
part in evil deeds like the Grand Theft
Auto and hitman series are coming up on
another list I made a lot of pretty
shady characters in my line of work
we’re also excluding games and
characters where you have moral choices
to make throughout the game like Mass
Effect and Commander Shepard it should
go without saying that there are some
SuperDuper high end spoilers ahead even
when we mentioned the titles so proceed
at your own risk this is going to be the
spoiler iasts spoiler – ever spoil
something number 10 Mortal Kombat
deception I would very much like to
train you myself
perhaps I can mold you into the next
great defender of Earth realm when an
emissary of the Elder Gods gives you a
task you’ll likely do whatever it takes
to complete it except for a background
check on the person that’s talking to
you of course greeting should you go
what are you afraid
Shuji coed oghuz and it takes him for
decades to find them all then he
discovers that the person who sent him
on this quest is the evil dragon king
Onaga what are you
your words learning that you’ve been
working for the ultimate evil is a tough
pill to swallow but learning that you’ve
been working for them for over 40 years
you might as well just let Kato rip your
heart out blinded by the Lord Adventure
I have endangered the realms and
betrayed the Elder Gods the blame is
mine alone what have I done
number-5 heavy rain the families of the
victims of the origami killer asked me
to investigate the murders I came here
just to ask you some questions about
Johnny Scott Shelby is a private
investigator working on the case of the
origami killer while playing through his
story you get to talk to the family
members who have lost someone to the
sinister killer including a mother who
helps you belong the way do you know if
they found anything on the wasteland any
leads or witnesses but it turns out that
Shelby isn’t investigating the murders
to find the killer he himself is the
killer and you’ve been covering your
tracks the entire time
Shelby has been searching for a father
who loves their son enough to do
anything to save him even if that means
drowning innocent children and killing
anyone who tries to solve it
number 8 BioShock Infinite burial at sea
part 1 don’t get too comfortable keep
your eyes open it seems that Bioshock
has a thing for making its protagonists
into unwilling villains we don’t need to
spoil everything here but suffice to say
that the shocked part of this franchise
almost always has to do with the story
this tradition continues in burial at
sea where Elizabeth asks for Booker’s
help in finding a young girl named Sally
during their quest Booker realizes two
things one
he’s Comstock and in this timeline he’s
responsible for Anne’s death let her go
haha she’s shut it down shut down the
machine
shut down the machine he tries to
apologize to Elizabeth but it’s too
little too late I am so sorry but you’re
about to be number seven Golden Sun and
Golden Sun the lost age
it’s one thing to not know that you’re
the villain until the end of the game
but to not know until the sequel
Isak sets out to stop the eternal
lighthouses from being lit he succeeds
in killing his two main votes and it
should be a victory celebration from
there
q the sequel felix picks up where the
first games villains left off or should
we say heroes it turns out that Isaac
was wrong and that the lighthouses
actually need to be lit to prevent the
world from collapsing in on itself so
not only were you unintentionally
dooming the world in the first game you
killed two people who are trying to
protect it good going
number six near I knew you’d come around
we expect our action-rpgs to follow a
simple formula eradicate all monsters on
screen especially when it means gaining
experience points and money along the
way so here we are slaying some wicked
creatures called shades who are the
remnants of humanity apparently 1300
years ago humanity faced extinction and
in an attempt to survive they separated
their souls from their bodies then they
created clones who would later reconnect
with these Souls but those clones began
to form their own identities I answer
they are placed in their corresponding
shells near was meant to be a vessel who
reunited with the Shadow Lord who isn’t
actually the villain like we’re led to
believe he simply wants to restore his
daughter and humanity as a whole
oops number 5 Silent Hill to Mary could
you really be in this town in this
classic if a bit blocky horror-thriller
our protagonist James Sutherland enters
the desolate foggy town in search of his
wife Mary after receiving a letter from
her oh did we mention that she died
three years ago the dead person can’t
write a letter
in any other town this search would be
crazy but this is just another day in
Silent Hill where all of the monsters
who have been terrorizing us including
the iconic pyramid head are
manifestations of James’s psyche because
he killed his wife no longer able to
handle the sickness that had been
plaguing her I’d do anything if I could
be with her again
number four braid if Super Mario
Brothers has taught us anything it’s
that when there’s a princess to save
you’d better go save her bro
raid plays on that notion as Tim
searches for a princess who has been
captured by a horrible and evil monster
end quote
we don’t know much about his connection
to the princess but we know that he made
some kind of mistake and he’s trying to
rectify it
hence the rescue we assume the good news
is that the princess is saved the bad
news is it’s not by you the last page of
the game reveals that the princess has
been running away from Tim the real
monster of the story
number three Star Wars Knights of the
Old Republic we know we said no moral
choice characters but Darth Revan is a
special case
okay so let’s say there’s an ultimate
evil that you have to defeat now let’s
say that the ultimate evil used to have
a master who disappeared all this time
and you still haven’t figured it out a
Star Wars interpretation – the phrase I
learned it by watching you it turns out
that you’re the former master of the
game’s main antagonist Darth Malak
recognize that you were once the Dark
Lord and know that I have taken your
place the Jedi had your character’s
memories wiped so he or she would no
longer be a threat it’s up to you what
to do with that information but the fact
still remains long ago in a galaxy far
far away
you were the biggest asshole you are
weak I was right to betray you you are
not even to number two spec offs the
line you did this no you did the life of
a soldier isn’t an easy one as they not
only put their lives on the line on a
daily basis but they also have to make
some difficult decisions
whatever you say Walker no matter what
happens next don’t be too hard on
yourself the horrific events that go on
in this game are bad enough to deal with
ranging from choosing who to execute to
accidentally using white phosphorus on
it isn’t civilians but it all comes to a
head in the game’s gut-wrenching
conclusion the truth Walker is that
you’re here because you wanted to feel
like something you’re not
you Conrad the game’s antagonist is
revealed to be a traumatic hallucination
of Captain Walker your character the
real Conrad committed suicide and Walker
has been using him to try and
rationalize his actions I know the truth
is hard to hear water but it’s time
you’re all that’s left and we can’t live
this lie or ever before we reveal our
number one pick we have every intention
to reveal these honorable mentions sorry
I wish I could tell you how you did but
a lot this is a recording you will have
to figure it out all by your stem one
could have similar now it’s about Shella
or you know it ain’t like we really know
who you are
you don’t trust me number one Shadow of
the Colossus
we could place the blame on doorman but
honestly your character wander is not
innocent in this either at no point does
he question doorman the God telling you
what to do and I guess we as the player
don’t question him either we’re so used
to saving the girl and taking out the
towering creatures that we encounter in
video games that it never occurs to us
that maybe just maybe the colossi are
the good guys also why is Lord Ammon
pursuing wander to begin with and who is
this girl we’re trying so hard to revive
and how did she die exactly you do you
bid senator like any good game that
makes us feel bad for our actions some
of these questions go unanswered
ekoo cold uh do you agree with our list
I’m gonna be nice shut up Oh which video
game hero turned out to be the biggest
villain of them all for you for more top
10s published every day that have the
best of intentions be sure to subscribe
