What?! Impossible! I am INVINCIBLE! (Villian Thread)

Mild ConfusionMild Confusion Smash All ThingsRegistered User regular
edited July 2012 in Games and Technology
Screw the heroes, badguys and killing them are what makes games so great.

It's about villians and how powerful/badass/lame/annoying/hated/loved they were.

Most powerful villian ever has to be Lavos/Time Devourer. Motherfucker could eat time.

Also, that 'soda-pop guy' from Punch-Out. I could never, ever beat him and I hated that mocking laugh every time I tried.

    I think the best kinds of villains are the sagacious ones who aren't afraid to send their small time subordinates at you..

    One of my favorite villians is Zarak from the MediEvil series. If for no other reason that when you beat him, he does the obligatory "Destroy my lair with the hero still inside" move...
    Only to be crushed with one of the first pieces of debris to fall from the ceiling. The timing was hilariously perfect.

    (I played uninvited when I was like 5 years old... or tried, anyways. I always ended up getting killed by her really quickly, and then got to the horrifying game over screen.)

    Also, I have to say the villain from Psychonauts. Its rare for me to actually laugh out loud during a boss fight.
    HARD TO AVOID... AREA ATTACK! OVERLY INTRICATE... COMBINATION!

    It makes me regret stopping the game a few levels after that.

    Luca Blight from Suikoden II has always been a favorite of mine, but mostly for ...
    the way that he dies. It takes an army to kill him with the main character delivering the final blow.

    Not an embodiment of darkness. Not some hell-spawn from beyond a mystery portal. No long drawn out backstory.

    Just a man filled with pure hate for everything and everyone. Destroy it all.

    My kind of villain.

    I always liked Bowser, even though he hasn't been the main villian in the recent games. His lines gave a good chuckle out of me, and the way he always thinks he is the best villian even when he is out done by others is funy.

    And even though I despise the series for reviving him each and every time, face it, Time Crisis would suck without him:

    He becomes a boss? I really need to go back and play it again! But that pyramid kept destroying me.

    The next door bully is a demon? It's nice that you get to kill him, but what kind of message is that to children about dealing with peers?

    Kefka will always be in my top ten video game villians, mainly because he succeeded in obtaining ultimate power and ruled the world for a time. Luca Blight from Sukioden II was almost at the Kefka level of crazy and his stubborness to just die astounds me to this day. The "bosses" of Psychonauts were all fun to fight. Solving people's mental problems by beating the tar out of some manifestation of what's wrong with them is alright by me.

    But yeah, second the vote on Liquid Snake. It's like not being able to die is part of his genetics.

    Alma from Nina Gaiden made me want to die. Somehow I had to try, I don't know, maybe 20 times to finally kill her. I can't think of another boss fight off the top of my head that was so difficult, but memorable.

    Fuck yes. Soulblighter. Everything about him was badass. The little intro story in the manual was him, in the form of hundreds of crows, killing and then picking apart a little boy.

    Plus, he was a number 2 who made that rare ascent to primary villiany.
