Everyone loves a good villain. They can be the difference between mediocrity and a masterpiece in storytelling. Think of villains throughout cinema history such as Hannibal Lecter, Darth Vader and the Joker, and then try imagine a world without them. We love to hate, we love to fear and we love to be thrilled. However, there seems to be a shortage of great villains in video games. Is this purely because video games are still in their infancy, or do the limitations of the medium prevent villains from taking over the video game world?
Nintendo Switch games that haven't received patches are still getting performance and loading boosts across the board on Switch 2.
PlayStation - The Concert is a magical musical experience for fans of the brand.
Ubisoft's latest Far Cry 4 update enables 60 FPS on PS5 after releasing an update earlier for Far Cry New Dawn with similar improvements.
Sony....you're really letting ubisoft out of all all companies to out class you??? Give us the bloondborne 60 fps patch....ffs
I second this (Bloodborne 60fps) plus damn, Ubisoft, you're doing great but now the last thing I want youi to do is mae Far Cry Primal 60fps and AC Unity
Everytime someone asks for a bloodborne patch it gets delayed 1 day.
ETA next century
They know it's gonna cost them sales of the inevitable Remake that'll probably come around the PS6 launch.
Kudos to Ubisoft for once again going back to older titles and then offering a nice upgrade for free. I know the company gets a lot of criticism, in quite a few cases understandable and justified, but in this area of contintued post-launch support for their SP games, they deserve some credit.
I still believe Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne had one of the best villain pools in gaming history.
Good read. I agree on fc4 completely. I started it 2 weeks ago and im 33% of the way in. Haven't seen pagan min since the prologue. It's a shame.
I thought wolfenstein the new order did a great job with developing those villians. Probably one of the only new games in the last year or so that I've thought that.
Witcher 3 - wild hunt ... meh
Shadow of Mordor - nemesis system was lacking.
Evil within - that hooded guy was a watered down wesker.
Bloodborne - enemies were interesting enough but that end was predictable.
edit: Awesome that Genova84 brought up TNO as well. I really wanted to see these two dead.
I absolutely love this article. Read it people.
It is weird how hard it is to think of decent video game villians, ones that actually inspire hatred.
I'd probably put Wilhelm Strasse and Frau Engel from Wolfenstein: The New Order up on my own list, as well as Vaas from Fary Cry 3. I actually really liked the villain from Singularity, even though I do not remember his name.
Even now, it's so hard. I've been playing games since NES, and it's hard to pull out an antagonist that actually made you want to play the game just to beat him, and punish him/her for what they have done.
It's crazy how tough it is to come up with a villain that's memorable.
Seriously? No love for Handsome Jack?!
