Welcome all.

Having random thoughts (which is actually quite an ironically common occurrence with me), and I started wondering....

What are you're favorite video game villain moments? (Anti-heroes included)


This came about whilst thinking about fictional animal noises, and I was reminded of the great (and highly memorable) scene in God of War when the main head of the Hydra rises up lets out that blood curdling scream. Every time I hear it reminds me of the first time.

And still on the GoW kick. I'll never forget the first time I saw Kratos throw King Midas in the lava fall to stop its flow.
(There's actually quite a few good villain moments perpetrated by the "hero" in that series.)

So tell me about yours.

In Spec-Ops: The Line, when you have no other choice but to drop white phosphorus on a group of American soldiers; because it's a game and it's for the greater good, you know?

Oooh. Willie Pete is some vicious $#!%. It should almost be considered a war crime.

Take a look round lively old London. Buzzing crowds we sweat and we revel. Red-cheeked shouts and songs In the flicker of the gaslight. Eager Blighty bursts from the cobblestones. Racing, climbing blooming fertility. Born from secret seeds that were scattered in the nighttime. London is fed upon the meat of the dead. They’re one shallow inch below the town. Them that whispered dreams that only poisoned us. Them that told us lies of their bravery. Them that preached of progress, and put us in the poorhouse. Them done horrid murder on bloody stages. Them that loudly crowed their humility.

I always thought that Kefka destroying the world in FFVI was a great villainous moment. I Literally thought i had done something wrong until i realised the game continued after that point.

I though Vaas shooting your brother in the neck then laughing as he bled out at the beginning of Far Cry 3 was a pretty hardcore moment as well. Such a great bad guy. But then that psycho rapist Australian dude in that game out-villain-ed him. It's too bad the final fights with both of them were so underwhelming.

Also the entirety of dark souls was an act of villainy perpetrated by the developers as far as I'm concerned.

I think commander shepard has some great anti-hero moments when played right, such as a renegade option at the end of the citadel DLC mission:

"be honest, you'll miss me" *breaks free and runs*

*shepard draws pistol and shoots them dead*

"not at this range"

that whole DLC in general is amazing

"commander, in my cycle when we retreated through large containers of aquatic. Oh wait, we didn't, you are a trail blazer"

plus there are at least 3 star wars references

back on topic

I also thought that when the SAS get betrayed in COD6 was pretty dam brutal

SPOILER ALERT!

When Vader rapes Starkiller in TFU to "deceive the Emperor." You just don't see it coming.

Lots of scenes from TFU1 come to mind - still think that's one of the better EU stories.

The first alien reveal in Alien Isolation got my blood pumping too.
