KMC Award for Best Villain Redux
This time, I'm revamping the award for best villain. Instead of me picking the nominees, you get to choose which baddie gets the title and why.
Me personally, it comes down to Sephiroth, Al Wesker and Queen Myrrah; Sephiroth for stabbing defenseless flower girls in the back, and Wesker and Myrrah for their genocidal plans in regards to humanity (Myrrah holding the edge over Wesker for actually executing said plans).
Who should take the title home?
IMO? Ganondorf, though it may just be because he is my favorite.
Powerful, intelligent, cruel, unredeemingly evil, a viable threat to the world and the heroes, and just reeks of a certain "coolness" that I always find appealing.
Some honorable mentions, villains I personally liked in gaming at least, are characters such as GLaDOS, the Reapers, Jack of Blades, Terumi Yuuki, Zeus, and probably some more I forget.
Originally posted by RE: BlaxicanThe year? I assumed this was overall.
Those are all stupid choices except for the Reapers. DJ Harbinger is the best villain.Second best villain [of the year] is General Shepherd, if only for the shock value, and because of his motives.
Harbinger is pretty boss.
After playing insanity, I have dreams about "I AM ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL."
I think it is overall, I just narrowed the second choice down to this year because there's too many villains to name.
Was joking about Harbinger though, he's just "cool". Kerrigan is the greatest VG villain in history, imo. I've never played a game where by it's end I legitimately wanted a character to die.

The Reapers are bawss, mechanical eldritch horrors at their finest, IMO. Kerrigan sux, GTFO with your Starcraft bullshit boi. estahuh
I cannot really judge a character based on hateability because... I tend to love villains who are irredeemably evil and monstrous. 😐
No character has ever made me hate them for evil or cruelty alone.
Kreia- one of the most brilliant, certainly the most interesting villian I've ever come across. Probably helps that you can actually talk to her for 90% of the game. Nihilus also gets mad props just for atmosphere and coolness factor (let down by a crappy boss fight obviously).
Irenicus also get a mention if only because his voice actor took what could have been an otherwise flat role and really brought the character alive. Plus having one of the hardest boss fights ever with the Ascention mod.
Also SHODAN, Psycho Mantis, Dracula, GLaDOS, Jack of Blades, Bison, Nemesis, Lavos, Kain, Saren, Lezard, Akatchi the Betrayer etc etc.
Greatest video game villain of all time?
EASY...
Right wing conservatives.
I am dead serious.
Inside of the video game worlds? Harbinger was pretty damn cool. The awesomeness and hopelessness that he brought was pretty dang solid. I wasn't "scared" but I certainly thought it a good villain as it brought a pretty dang good picture of what a villain should be.
Jack of Blades, as well. Just a good story from start to finish, imo.
Word.
