10 Video Game Villains That Were Total Rubbish

This list takes a look at the absolute worst video game villains, that were simply too laughable, weird or pointless to stand up as a main antagonist. Please note that a few of these entries may contain minor spoilers, as they’re dealing with certain games’ (disappointing) final moments.

Im pretty sure there are FAR worse characters/villians in other games than Harry Flynn. I actually thought he had a lot of personality and added to the whole experience of uncharted 2. Dumb article.

thorstein3515d ago (Edited 3515d ago )

I'm also done clicking on WhatCulture's 10+ click articles.

ATTN: WhatCulture. Here is how you make a list and (magically) make it fit on one page.

In fact, let's all read that article and approve it instead.

FarEastOrient3514d ago

It's a method to increase their view counts instead of proper formatting.

Army_of_Darkness3514d ago (Edited 3514d ago )

I thought Harry was a good villain in uncharted 2 because I sincerely thought that he was a sneaky back stabbing son of a b*tch and wanted to shoot him in the face by the end of the game lol

TricksterArrow3514d ago

Talbot was already a worse villain than him. Arguably, Marlowe as well.

Knushwood Butt3513d ago

Yeah, Marlowe totally failed as a villain once you realised she was an idiot.

badz1493514d ago

No Bowser? For a scary looking dragon-like bastard that he is, all he does is kidnap a princess? And for what? He obviously not gonna eat her although it's the most obvious thing a vicious animal would do to a weak, helpless human being. He's not raping her too. (Although there's still a question on how he gonna 'do' it) so...ransom money? From a broke plumber bros who got nothing but coins they picked up along the way and by killing turtles? I don't think they have enough to pay up for a princess. Mushrooms, maybe? But he is obviously a carnivour so...there's no way he's going vegan!

So...why kidnap a princess when it's pointless? Tell me how that is not LAME!

"And from there, we're in

Yeah, in like Flynn...right

What?

In like Flynn

I don't get it

Just give me a boost"

Flynn was pretty good

<SPOILERS>

However I think they should of kept him around. They already got rid of Eddie Raja so we should of saw him come back every now and then. Marlowe was the same in Uncharted 3, she was someone that should of gotten away to get revenge on Drake in the future.

I mean they could bring Eddie Raja back if they wanted, I suppose you could say as he fell, one of the descendants broke his fall and being badly injured he managed to find his way out of the cave...like one of the exits could of been near a boat and as he climbs in he sees Drake above jumping out of the room when he splits up with Elena to turn the power back on.

Could of made a great piece of single player DLC

Big_Game_Hunters3515d ago

Those are all horrible ideas, Imagine if Indiana jones had reoccuring villians.

-Foxtrot3515d ago (Edited 3515d ago )

They aren't really big villains though, they are basically side characters

Roman, Navarro, Lazarevic are the main villains. I could say Marlowe is but Talbot does most of the work.

Eddie is someone who has been in many situations with Drake in the past (Eye on Indra) and same goes with Harry.

"Imagine if Indiana jones had reoccurring villains"

This isn't Indiana Jones though, it's a game inspired by it, nothing more.

Ryuk_20073514d ago

Marlowe was ass and her death was anticlimactic. Lazarevic was fun tho. Running around like a mad man screaming DRAKE!!

Mikefizzled3514d ago

Hoyt from Far Cry 3. Other than the dark scene whilst playing cards he was entirely forgettable. So much so I had to search for his name.

bloodybutcher3514d ago

True, apart from Vaas, who was great and should've been more often in the game, i prefered Buck to Hoyt. Actually, everyone was more interesting, apart from'Jason and his friends. The most interesting one from the Jason bunch was his brother, and they killed him off at the start.

Knushwood Butt3513d ago

Yeah, should have killed them all off at the start, and instead you got to play as that mad drug dealer dude in the house above the cave.

Knushwood Butt3513d ago

Who? Was that the, 'real' baddie guy near the end? If so, yeah.

I didn't rate Vaas much myself but at least he was memorable.

Mikefizzled3513d ago

Hoyt was Vaas' boss. Less of an unhinged psychopath and more of an intelligent, cold and calculated shady type.

Rebel_Scum3514d ago

Dr. Robotnik, his contraptions were usually hot garbage. Especially Green Hill zone in Sonic 2.

He didn't learn his lessons very well.

mochachino3514d ago

Can someone ban this site from N4G, they're always releasing clickbait lists with only 1 item on each page. It's ridiculous.

Spotie3514d ago

We can vote the site down... But it does no good, it seems.

Rebel_Scum3514d ago

At least the written content is ok.

I wish we could ban the gamingsofar website for its ad ridden, poorly desgined CSS mess of a site that has articles that require up to 30 clicks to go through.

I'm Replaying Skyrim (again), and So Should You

Replaying Skyrim after 13 years is a reminder of the progress made in western RPGs over the last decade, but also what's been lost.

anast11d ago

I tried, but it's a poorly made game that insults its customers.

lucian22911d ago

nah, only mods make it decent, and even then it's bad, and this is after i modded for at least 3 years

Nittdarko10d ago

Funnily enough, I'm about to play it for the first time in VR with 1000 mods to make the game playable, as is the Bethesda way

The 7 Best Western RPGs: Immersive Adventures

RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.

SimpleSlave11d ago

"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!

How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera

And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden

DustMan11d ago

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave11d ago (Edited 11d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.
