Top 10 Worst Villains In Video Games


oh these villains are so bad and not in
a good way
lead me to the gold and I just might let
you live welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’ll be counting down our picks
for the top ten worst villains in video
games
for this list we’re taking a look at the
least satisfying bad guys from a
gameplay plot or design perspective
since we’ll be discussing the fate of
many of these characters a spoiler
alerts is definitely in order number 10
Derrick C Simmons Resident Evil 6 at the
time of the attack you had abandon your
post leaving the present home when we
think of resident evil villains
businessmen in suits typically don’t
come to mind this is just one of the
many problems in Resident Evil 6 where
we get stuck with Derrick C Simmons as
our big bad guy are you here to avenge
the president is that it slimy smug and
corrupt this National Security Advisor
is responsible for the president’s death
and a bioterrorist attack it’s okay
though because he did it all for it’s
for the benefit of the United States and
global security can’t see how killing
the president is good for the country
yeah like we never heard that one before
cliche and one-dimensional it’s
impossible to take Simmons seriously and
his character only manages to become
sillier upon acquiring superhuman
abilities and yeah turning into a t-rex
number nine general scales starfox
adventures the spellstone out of here
this GameCube title has gotten a bad
reputation for not being a traditional
starfox game but it’s actually a pretty
underappreciated action-adventure when
taking its villain into account though
we can see why everyone dumps on starfox
adventures key Ashley cocoa dog
I shot – cold we might have been able to
overlook general scales as prissy voice
and beautiful appearance if he proved
himself in battle during the final
showdown however this evil tyrant
aimlessly walks around for Foxx to
strike first and once the player finally
makes a move this happens is you wanna
longer any use to me
so if scales isn’t the final boss who is
o Andros
where did he come from don’t ask
questions this is just dumb I’d be
looking forward to this day to see you
again fox mccloud number 6 jasper bat
jr. no more heroes to desperate struggle
so much hostility why why to tell an
ironic question coming from an assassin
seeing how No More Heroes 2 has a
comedic edge you could argue that Jasper
bat jr. is an intentionally embarrassing
villain with that said he’s still pretty
inseparable nonetheless Travis took you
long enough
thought the suspense was gonna kill me
an unlikely top ranked assassin
Jasper targets Travis after the death of
his family while Jasper does have some
cool toys at his disposal he still feels
like a Wimpy er version of Lex Luthor
possessing a boys like fingernails on
the chalkboard and the tackiest fashion
sense imaginable beating this scrawny
torque with a beam katana is pretty
satisfying we’ll give you that let’s
just hope he never gets his own parade
balloon number seven exdeath final
fantasy 5
the Final Fantasy games have no shortage
of great villains but exdeath is sadly
among the lesser ones where so many
other antagonists in this RPG series are
complex colorful and genuinely menacing
exdeath is just a straightforward bad
guy who’s evil because he’s evil
the only thing that’s even remotely kind
of memorable about him is that he’s a
tree which is weird but sort of cool I
guess
I know dragons are cliched by now but
okay okay
tree it is considering the high
standards this franchise has set for
character development however we
expected a lot more from this dark night
Plus exdeath is kind of a crappy name
number six Lucien Fairfax able to it’s
come to my attention that you have some
sort of magic box pass you to be fair
Lucien Fairfax actually had the
potential to be a compelling villain
complete with a tragic backstory that
drew him to insanity alas any respect we
had for this character is squandered in
the end with one of the most
anticlimactic boss battles ever do you
think you’re the only one ever to suffer
loss for starters you stopped Lucian’s
evil plans with a music box as if that’s
not lame enough
Lucien puts up no fight whatsoever
waiting for you to kill him
normally delaying the inevitable even if
the player light solution deliver his
bloated monologue Reaver eventually
finishes the job with one shot and you
thought general scales went down like a
pansy oh oh I thought it’d never shut up
number five team galactic pokemon
diamond pearl and platinum
some of the more recent Pokemon villains
have gotten a bit over the top like in
X&Y team flare schemes to destroy
mankind with an ultimate weapon as
ridiculous as that sounds
Team Galactic Splott reaches another
level of stupidity led by master Cyrus
team galactic wishes to create a new
universe deprived of emotions we have no
idea where this criminal organization
gets their funding from or why anybody
would sign up for such an absurd plan
considering the sheer lack of logic
behind team Galactic’s motivations in
execution it’s not surprising that there
inevitably thwarted by some meddling
kids and their Pokemon
number four general Shepherd call of
duty modern warfare 2 that’s one less
elusive
everybody hates a trader especially when
they stab you in the back for no good
reason such as the case with general
Shepherd Shepherd is practically given
unlimited resources to stop Makarov and
in the war yet his most remembered
moment was betraying and framing the
elite task force he formed why you ask
supposedly to inspire patriotism and
millions of Americans which would
convince them to enlist right man there
are so many problems with that logic
number three the Didact halo 4 you had a
nice to me than these breeches and that
has not attained the mat hello the
Didact is essentially the General
Grievous equivalent of video games where
all of his imposing and terrifying
traits are shown in the expanded
universe media yet in the main event he
comes off as a toothless and disposable
foe also you beat him with a QuickTime
event I don’t need to explain why that
sucks do I
three four three Studios seem to have
repeated this expanded universe mistake
in Halo 5 – we know a lot of people just
play for the multiplayer but come on
guys you gotta meet us halfway here you
like to discuss the finer points of
casual reconciliation Oh shocker number
two skull face Mel Gear Solid 5 the
phantom pain skull face may have been an
intimidating bad guy if this were a
Saturday morning cartoon show intended
for seven-year-olds
for a Metal Gear Solid game however this
guy couldn’t feel more out of place the
fact that skull face is supposed to be a
legitimately threatening foe only makes
his presence more laughable to add
insult to injury he succumbs to numerous
idiotic villain cliches you know like
giving a long pretentious speech instead
of just killing the good guy already mic
was stolen from and so was my
we could point out that since he and his
special forces xof speak English then
his genocide allanne to eliminate the
english-speaking world has a fatal flaw
but then again this is coming from a guy
who wears a Zorro mask that in no way
hides his well skull face I’ll see you
in Hell before we get to our top pick
here are a few honorable or in this case
dishonorable mentions fascinating
document huh
seems like this francis wasn’t my line
of work to rob you of one would have
deprived me of the other and those
Templars had to die number one lyric
sonicboom rise of lyric you
you and I have unfinished business
lyric isn’t just one of the worst video
game villains ever but also possibly the
worst character in the entire sonic
franchise which is saying a lot I’m
looking at you big the cat with the
deplorable design and generic voice this
armored snake feels more like one of dr.
Eggman’s minions than a primary
antagonist no they didn’t I had to be
this to keep myself alive planning to
destroy all organic life and rebuild the
world in his robotic image he’s about as
subtle as a Captain Planet bad guy oh
and do not even get us started on the
ludicrous time-travel plot twist that
connects sonic to lyric he appears to
have landed in the near future not yours
and while we’re at it what kind of name
is lyric anyway what does he do
terrorize karaoke parlors let’s just say
that we’d all like to travel back in
time and prevent this villain from ever
being the only world of metal you’re
going to is the junkyard do you who’s
our list not bad who do you think is the
worst video game villain for more
entertaining top 10s published every day
