Villains in video games are often the main driving force behind the plot. They constantly throw up a new portion of difficulties for the hero, filling the life of the GG with trials and not giving the opportunity to take an easy walk to the goal. And in order to hook the player, villains often turn out to be much more thoughtful and interesting characters than the environment of the main characters.

Handsome Jack

Handsome Jack is the director, or rather, a full-fledged CEO of the Hyperion Companywhich is one of the largest weapons manufacturers on Pandora.

Main Antagonist Borderlands 2 appears before the player as a classic reckless villain, ignoring any rules of decency and ready for anything in order to achieve the goal. In order to become sole director, he intimidated or eliminated all of his competitors.

Jack is not shy in expressions, constantly flaunts his wealth and in every possible way demonstrates his superiority to humanity, and in general behaves like a real artist.

Despite the fact that Handsome Jack reeks of a villainous aura from a kilometer away, he was able to win the hearts of many Borderlands fans with his eloquence and willingness to stand his ground even at the brink of death.

Albert Wesker

Albert Wesker of resident evilmanaged to be quite a promising scientist corporation “Umbrella”, who sought to advance science in order to unlock the potential of mankind, find a cure for many diseases and save people from future disasters. But gradually he became callous, moved away from most of his colleagues, became suspicious and suspicious. Albert felt like a puppet in the hands of the leadership, and that made him even more angry. True, he did not show it.

His image is a cruel, cold and cunning villain who simply amazes with the level of his calmness. Wesker looks down on his opponents like dirt underfoot, can show off and play with them. And for good reason, because even before being infected with the virus, he was a master of martial arts, and after that he completely acquired super strength, super dexterity, inhuman reflexes and regeneration.

Vladimir Makarov

Vladimir Makarov is the main antagonist Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3however, many will remember him for participating in the mission “Not a word in Russian” from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Despite the fact that Makarov is the successor of Imran Zakhaev, it was he who was remembered by the players as a person who will not be stopped by anything on his way.

According to General Shepard, Makarov “no ideals, no honor, no homeland”. And the player perfectly sees how he goes to any abominations, intimidates, blackmails and destroys those in power, unleashes wars.

It is difficult to find a person who would not want to help the main characters of the game rid the world of real, pure evil. At the same time, he unrealistically presses with his charisma, for a moment even forcing him to make assumptions that he methods justify the goalalthough it never was.

Joseph Sid

It’s not just that the gaming community scolds the games of the series Far Cry, which are almost 100% copies of themselves. But what cannot be taken away from these games is excellent charismatic antagonists. And the fifth part of the series was no exception.

Pastor Sid is the leader of a religious sect “Eden’s Gate”, which is rapidly spreading throughout Hope County. Based on his excellent eloquence, Joseph preaches his values. And even those who are skeptical about the words coming from the lips of sectarians cannot resist the voice of the preacher, calling them to a new life.

He appears before the player as a person who shows emotions only remembering his difficult childhood. A person who solves problems with words and is always firmly convinced that he is right. And in the same way, being absolutely calm and confident in his innocence, he defends his faith with the help of weapons.

Anton Castillo

And again, the main antagonist of one of the games in the Far Cry 6 series stands out with his charisma. This is Anton Castillo, dictator of the fictional island nation of Yarawhich he rules with an iron fist. The artificial division of the inhabitants of the state into “true” and “false” with the imprisonment of the latter, propaganda and executions – these are the weapons of El Presidente.

Anton Castillo is a born politician and does an excellent job of convincing his people that he is completely and unconditionally right. At the same time, he raises and trains his son, hoping that in the future he will be able to take his place and become a worthy ruler of Yara. El Presidente was remembered by many for his communication style, which makes his interlocutors instantly lose their presence of mind, whoever they are. And his feigned gaiety, which instantly evaporates from his face in moments of rage, has even become a meme.

Arthas

Arthas Menedil is the first of the death knights and one of the most disgusting creatures that Azeroth has ever known in World of Warcraft.

Everything is not so simple, because under the mask of the villain lies the story of a man who dreamed of saving his people. Going to this goal, Arthas pursued a noble goal, but, having stumbled only once and having lost the support of friends and relatives, he changed forever.

And then a charismatic villain with a difficult fate and his own philosophy appeared before the players, which was not so difficult to imbue. His motives were clear and understandable, and his actions were justified. He knew how to convince and, to be honest, he looked very stylish.

At the same time, being a real villain, creating countless atrocities and incurring the hatred of all of Azeroth, Arthas still showed the player that somewhere deep down he remains that same ambitious and kind warrior.

GLaDOS

GLaDOS (Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System) Genetic Life Form and Disk Operating System) is the main antagonist portal and concurrently the main generator of a huge amount black humor, banter and trolling above the player. The maestro has already managed to parse into quotes more than once, and some manage to use the phrases of this character in real life.

“Please note that this challenge has added penalty for mistakes. Any contact with the chamber floor will result in a “failed” mark on your test form and immediate death. Good luck!”

After these words, the desire not to be marked “unsatisfactory” in a personal file appears without participation by itself. This is exactly what GLaDOS takes. This amount of subtle trolling directed at the player needs to be looked for.

Pagan Min

Another antagonist of the Far Cry series, who won the hearts of people, is the ruler of the fictional state of Kirat, located somewhere in the Himalayas. Like the aforementioned El Presidente, Pagan Min holds power with an iron fist, constantly fighting off rebel attacks.

At the first meeting with him, it is quite difficult to understand this character, because he does not press with his charisma, although the image is chosen well. But a minute later, the player sees a ruthless dictator in front of him, ready to severely punish his subordinates for any mistakes. And his behavior makes him a little uneasy, because Pagan Ming explodes, directing his rage at the unfortunate person, and then again becomes as calm as he was a few seconds ago.

It resembles a compressed spring, ready to straighten out at any moment, after which chips will fly. And it is very captivating.

Joker

They call him the prince of the underworld. But in fact he is the king of madness, for whom the entire underworld is just a toy. The Joker is the sworn enemy of Batman, without which he simply cannot exist. As well as vice versa.

The insane psychopath, criminal and supervillain with pallid skin, green hair and a smile from ear to ear is one of the most recognizable and beloved characters by users.

The only superpower of the Joker is his sophisticated mind, thanks to which he was awarded the title genius of the underworld. He is able to turn absolutely any event into a party with dozens or even hundreds of victims. His laughter sends fans into ecstasy and his victims faint.

The Joker behaves like a real artist, constantly grimacing and attracting attention. He achieved what he wanted, becoming the star of a huge show, which he himself directed.

Vaas Montenegro

Vaas Montenegro is a person thanks to whom almost every gamer will now be able to tell without hesitation, what is madness. A real psycho, the leader of pirates, the creator of his own philosophy and the most charismatic of all the existing game villains, who completely undeservedly received only a minor role in the game Far Cry 3, although he was many times superior to the main antagonist of the game – the slave trader Hoyt Walker.

Vaas generates a huge number of interesting situations and really makes the protagonist move forward and become stronger.

This villain won the hearts of the players, forcing them to theorize about his life and death. He became not just a symbol of the game, easily bypassing the main villain and the main character, no … Vaas became a symbol of the entire series of games, because it is his image that comes to mind when someone talks about Far Cry.
