What Makes a Good Video Game Villain?

With David Warner’s masterfully delivered opening lines we’re introduced to the coldly detached and ruthlessly calculating Jon Irenicus. It’s not long before circumstance carries you away from his underground lab, but his far-reaching influence is felt again and again as the game progresses.

I think what makes any good villain, no matter what media is a combination of intelligence and power. I thought best video game villains this gen were Saren, and The Illusive Man.

DryPancake4301d ago

I think the best villain is one who is merciless and who actually has a plan and a motive. Most videogames today have the villain as just a 'bad guy' with no reason as to why.

versusALL4301d ago

Exactly! I think most video games should take notes from movies and books as they have the best villains.

Blacktric4300d ago

I completely agree about Saren but Illusive Man is nothing but a botched villain thanks to Mass Effect 3.

brish4300d ago

I think the best video game villain is Bobby Kotick.

He has power but I don't know about intelligence.

WeskerChildReborned4301d ago

Something that seperates them from other villians.

Chris5584301d ago

There is no rule what makes good villian he has to be badass or just someone differend outstanding person

TekoIie4301d ago

Depends one what sort of villain your going for. Is it a big tough guy who is a challenge for the protagonist in a fight face to face? Or is it a leader of the enemy forces who always manages to escape you?

Then theres personality! This is where there are endless possibilities :D

Keep in mind that regardless of your stance or interest in this, be it good or bad; the ToS agreement makes it so you can't leave negative reviews once accepted.

Hence why I posted video so people can watch and make up their own minds and I will reserve my final thoughts until the final build.

Star Citizen showcases the creation of the two brand-new animals coming to alpha 3.23

Land on any planet in Star Citizen currently and you’ll be greeted by things like weather patterns, flora, and very possibly a derelict or two. What you won’t find are any animals, however. That’s going to change with alpha 3.23’s release, as CIG has finally put together two animals to populate certain planets. That’s not quite three, but it’s more than one!

People will have had entire careers by the time this game reaches Gold status.

Two brand-new animals? Fantastic. This game should be ready by the time the Vault Dwellers come out from their Vaults Two Hundred years after the Apocalypse.

Any minute now...
