Top Ten fictional armies in video games

I'm gonna try and jam this thing back into a proper topic.

I question their claim that Combine are one of the most daunting armies on that list, but they're also high on it, so it's not that big a deal.

I'm actually rather curious as to how Reapers would handle something like the Zerg.

Armies mentioned already that weren't on the list, but I agree should have had a better showing: Heartless and Locust.

I'm not the biggest Gears fan, but I am a fan, and the Locust did blitz the shit out of humanity, so that's not a bad job. The Heartless have conquered multiple worlds.

Hey Moo, would Nobodies be worth mention as an army as well? I still haven't played through KH2 or anything after, so I might be missing some info, but the sheer quantity of heartless should stand that there's an equal number of Nobodies?

I honestly can't think of other armies, which I suppose says something. Then again, I'm tired as ****.

Not every heartless makes s nobody and The heartless heavy hitters out rank every nobody besides the organization.

Fair enough. I'd only gotten far enough in to KH2 to even start learning about the Nobodies. I really need to finish that game.

What about the Armies from Warhammer 40K?

The Imperial Guard get a mention on the list. They're at #10.

I think it's no secret that LoZ armies suck dick. Though I wouldn't put too much stock in an arbitrary list like that. There are quite a few video game armies not mentioned — just from the top of my head — that could easily steamroll some of the ones featuring on that list(including the Darkspawn).

Lists like this are never about power anyway; it's honestly a popularity contest or some other arbitrary criteria. Perhaps it's more of a relative thing, as the Combine are certainly daunting to Gordon Freeman, even if they wouldn't necessarily be that great in a war against any of the other armies on the list or off it.

Heck, the Imperial Guard probably steamroll most of the others and they're #10.

What constitutes as an army?

Like the Heartless/Nobodies. They're not really an organized and commanded army, more a "release the hounds" type.

If we do then they'd be really high up. They were invading, infecting and terrorizing around 30 different worlds.

Nah, Nobodies are more worth mentioning as a sort of "Top Group of Big Baddies" type thing, because their strongest are Organization 13, and they are quite powerful. Though I wouldn't say Heartless are generally any more or less powerful, the Heartless sheer numbers and survivability would overwhelm many opposing universes. Because the Heartless will exist as long as there is darkness in people's hearts. Nobodies are formed when a Heartless is formed and the body just kinda goes on functioning instead of fading away.

I can. Lombaxes and Cragmites, Several armies from Elder Scrolls, Space Pirates of Metroid, and kindasorta the Nanites from Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 that eventually produced Nanite Nick Fury. That's all I got at the moment, though.

Imperium shoulda been at #1. They would take the Reapers.

Remind me who they are again?

To say ANYONE can take the Reapers is a bold statement.

Imperium of Man from Warhammer 40k.

Imperium outnumbers the Reapers about 100000000000 to 1. Plus their tech is > Mass Effect tech.

It's just the Imperial Guard, not the entire Imperium of Man. Regardless, the Guard alone would be able to take down the Reapers without much difficulty.

What the criteria of the list? The strongest? Most creative? Regardless of what it is the Reapers are not number one.

A Forerunner mining ship can solo the Reaper fleet. Anything from Warhammer can solo the Reaper fleet.

The Covenant can take them on but I'm not sure on that. If you combine the Halo universe then the Reapers are fvcked.

A single spore of the Flood has the possibility of raping the Reapers. The Zerg definitely reap the Reapers.

The Mass Effect codex has Reaper weapons in the kilotons. A single soldier in Warhammer has more firepower.

Now the Reapers are definitely an interesting concept before Starbrat but no, a lot of sci fi universes see the Reapers as a typical Monday morning.

So you're saying a single Guardsman could take out the Reapers? Let's not get carried away here.

Just because he has the same firepower doesn't mean one man can solo a fleet so I don't know why you're trying to suggest I said that.

If you want to talk about ships, which I clearly stated, then yes I will argue that a single ship from the Forerunners or Warhammer can solo the Reapers.

Maybe. Even probably.

The federation is not a military. Scotty makes that clear. Khan also had a bit of help with the Klingons.

Cool. I usually just try to **** with him. Every time you make a decent argument at him he just goes "Nuh uh!" And I don't have the patience of Scenario like I used to. At least not for Quan. So **** it, might as well troll him.
