Villains. Love them or hate them, they’re a vital part of the videogame experience. No matter what form they come in, whether they be subtle (like Limbo’s underlying feeling of fear and hopelessness) or full frontal like Metal Gear Solid’s Liquid Snake, videogames just wouldn’t be what they are without them.
With this in mind, we here at Gamer Nation set out to discover just who is the greatest villain in a videogame, and came up with some very different answers…
Plenty of unforgettable games have completely messed up their players throughout the years, all the way back from the PS1 days to the dark recesses of the modern internet.
Japanese developer is launches its latest VR epic, futuristic brawler Soul Covenant for Meta Quest, PSVR 2 and PCVR headsets tomorrow.
Games such as Mad Max, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Batman: Arkham Knight desperately deserve a modern-day revisit.
Cortex, yes!
As strange as it might sound Handsome Jack from Borderlands 2 was an awesome villain to me. I both hated and loved that smug yet oh so amusing bastard.
I also hold Saren from Mass Effect in high regard as a great villain. He was well written and toward the end I felt a great sympath for the buy, before blowing his head off, obviously. ha!
Nintendo is the greatest video game villain with their incremental hardware revisions and ploys to pull people in with gimmicks that doesnt improve gameplay but holding back gaming progress. That's why 3ds has one circle bad and bad graphics with resistive touch screen. Wii needed wiimotion plus and it had bad graphics. Super Mario Wii u is in 2d with cartoon graphics like super Nintendo. Skyward sword had rubbish controls and bad graphics which seem like it was dlc for Zelda oot. The Wii u is worst than ps3 and xbox. The online system on Wii u is terrible. There are negatives all around Nintendo
Another great villain is shao Kahn
Ocelot and Joker!
Kessler because the reasoning behind why he does it is just bat shit crazy.
