Insanity. It is a subject that is very near and dear to our hearts. We make it no secret of our personal fascination of the insane and psychotic. This is not only because they make interesting characters but the act of creating an insane character is a difficult one. Far too many writers think that psychotic characters are just those who wield a gun and go on a killing spree. Insanity is a lot more complicated than that. As such, We would like to share our top 10 most insane video-game characters!
We're combing through some of the most hidden or obscure JRPGs out there. We've got 25 Obscure JRPGs to look at.
Remake of Lost Odyssey, Open World Alundra(ala breath of the wild), Xenogears Remake, and Breath of Fire Remake. I also want Golden Sun sequel on Switch 2!
Assassin's Creed Animus is a brand-new board game from Mantic Games, the team behind the incredible Halo Flashpoint game.
Will we ever get a good Superman game? Here's how to make the perfect Superman game.
I can't wait to see how Rockstar handles Trevor's psychosis
Johnny gat deserves a mention
i think the real top 10 would all be characters from twisted metal.
Sweetooth isn't that crazy. All he wants is to win a car combat competition resulting in killing all the other contestants and do a deal with calypso (the devil) to find his daughter and kill her.
Kefka's one of my personal favorites because of how intimidating a villain he is. Every other Final Fantasy villain basically has to ride his coattails, cause Kefka, unlike the other villains in the series, WON. Halfway through Final Fantasy 6, Kefka WINS, he destroys the world and takes control exactly as he intended. The heroes are not trying to save the world, they're trying to rebuild after Kefka already turned it into a shithole. And after destroying the world, he basically gets bored and starts destroying settlements from his tower like a kid burning ants with a magnifying glass. Also, Kefka's a big part of the game's storyline throughout the entire game, and you see him start from a lowly minion to world destroyer as the game advances. He's the kind of guy who finds both poisoning an entire castle and destroying the world equally enjoyable. He's basically The Joker in the Emperor Joker storyline years before it happened in the comics. Gimme Kefka over Sephiroth any day.
I think that, while Chief Irons was certainly off his rocker, the title of most insane character in Resident Evil definitely goes to Alfred Ashford in Code Veronica. Plus Alfred was a much more active antagonist throughout the course of the game, while Chief Irons was just in the game for a few minutes. And I have NO CLUE why Travis Touchdown makes the list while Captain Martin Walker from Spec Ops: The Line doesn't. Walker is possibly the most horrifyingly insane player character in game history, the ending of that game was BLOOD CHILLING.
