This Generation’s Villains That Are Too Hard to Hate

Brodie from DC writes: Sometimes, it’s just good to be bad. I’m one who constantly finds himself on the darker side of the line, often preferring beautifully written villains to the moral knights that strut through the battlefield, emerging from the dust and debris with the princess under one arm. These are just some of the generation’s villains just too hard to hate. The ones you can’t help but love.

To me, that's why there hasn't really been any good villains this gen. I want to DESPISE the villain and be afraid of him/her/it. You can relate to a villain without having to like the villain.

I'm not so rigid. I think the only thing you need to have a good villain is simply to have a well-characterized villain. Every character should be a fully realized, three-dimensional person--the villain most especially.

I would, however, agree with the sentiment that their really hasn't been any great villain this generation.

I mean, hell, I've played virtually all of the games worth playing this generation--and then some--and as I sit here, I remember the name of a single antagonist.

But, hell, I can remember names like Marcello, or Jon Irenicus, at the drop of a hat. THOSE were great villains.

Sephiroth comes to mind for me. Everything he did to Cloud was just...heartbreaking. Of course I would do the same if I found out my whole life was a lie.

Illusive Man is probably the best villain this gen.

Every character should be fully realized, you are 100% correct.

I Think It's About Time We Realize Fallout 4 Wasn't That Bad

Ahmed from eXputer: "2015's Fallout 4 received harsh criticism upon launching, but I think it was unwarranted and the game deserves more praise than it got."

It was totally that bad. I couldn't finish the campaign it was so bland and boring as I recall. Got so sick of it. 1000 stimpaks on hard. It is very rare that I play half a game and then just quit. I usually always finish it. But i was so bored with this game I just stopped and never went back and never regretted it. Just thinking about that game makes me shudder

That's exactly what happened to me too lmao
Fallout 4 is not a fallout game period it's a bethesda game

The comparison with Skyrim is mind-boggling. Yes, Skyrim has streamlined many of the systems that Morrowind introduced. However, it did not tamper with the core of the Elder Scrolls franchise; it did not diminish the freedom and sense of exploration that made Bethesda RPGs famous. Fallout 4, on the other hand, did exactly that to the Fallout series. It eliminated what made Fallout such a beloved series to play. There are no consequences for your choices, no reason to explore, and barely any interesting set pieces in the game.

It's not terrible, but it's a painfully mediocre game in a franchise that typically doesn't produce such mediocrity. So that is why people see it as bad, the bar is just much higher.
