Villains in Videogames.

Now, after the recent Avengers 2 trailer, and seeing how much of a presense Ultron has, I started thinking 'Why don't Videogames have such Villains?' Ultimately I conlcluded that I'd need to add an 'anymore' to the question...


Seriously, how many memorable Villains did we get in recent years?
I honestly could only count Father Balder from Bayonetta 1 & 2, Didact from Halo 4 and entire cast of Metal Gear Rising and Skullface from Metal Gear Solid 5 and I guess also Ghirahim, Mundus and Vaas.

But none of these reached the same status as lets say Sephiroth...

Hades.
Lysandre.
Master Core.
Cia.

I can't name many either, but I also don't play many games with big stories anymore.

I dunno about video games atm, but I do know Amon and Zaheer are recent villains that really left an impression on me recently



But yeah, even recent JRPG villains have been really lacking, and those were like the best of the best...

Master Core.

Really?

[shadowDOESrock]

Lysandre.

Has anyone ever mentioned that he kinda looks like a human fennekin)

Lysandre aint shit. Ghetsis is more memorable than him.
Master Core? Really? It really looks like Tabuu planted shadow bugs in Master Hand and that affected the Master Core. At least that's my theory.
Also, no one mentioned Fawful. Although he was just more awesome than villainous.
Hades was a good choice though.

Translation: "I don't have a reason for rejecting your choice so I'm going to state my fan theory like an argument and act like it invalidates your point! Ha!"

[Hakudamashi]

Fawful is old
We're talking recently

I'm assuming Kyo means 3DS, PS3, Xbox360, PS4, Xbone and Vita.

[jkid101094]

Wind, what about the villains from A Link Between Worlds?

[Hakudamashi]

Personally, I would count Yuga, yes.

[jkid101094]

How could I forget Queen Sectonia? Silly me.

[Hakudamashi]

What even is that?

[jkid101094]

You aren't allowed to know until you've bought Triple Deluxe.

Master Core is literally nothing but a black mass with multiple forms. It has no motives, it has no personality, it only exists to serve as a final boss. How is it a good villain?
