Antagonists or villains
Antagonists or villains are not rarely remembered more than positive characters, be it films, books, or video games. Some begin to cause sympathy or simply becomes
They are sorry. Others, it is difficult to call villains. It’s just that there were different sides of the barricades, the views on things or problems are different, or did not understand at all what they were doing. It happens that the work is given by the fint with the ears and the protagonist is (or becomes) an antagonist. In video games, it is not uncommon when a negative character is so well worked out that the main character simply fades against his background. Here I will tell about the antagonists who I remember, for one reason or another.
Carefully! Spoilers!
Resident Evil 3: Nemesis – Hefty murder car with a rocket launcher in appendage. Is the final and intermediate boss of the game. And just annoying and nasty creature.
I don’t remember exactly how old I were, but then I was just starting my acquaintance with video games, and I will never forget this hefty bastard. Oh, how many nerves I spent on him. Then, the older brother showed me the Resident Evil 3 and was driving to work. Everything goes fine, I sit playing, Valya Zombares, I don’t feel any particular difficulties, and here, like a thunder among a clear sky, he appears. I thought – "Boss like a boss, nothing special". But it wasn’t there. The first death is ok … the second death-probably it must somehow be scored in a special way. The fifth death is how to fill you up, you are a rare bastard. Tenth death – b ** b! Yes, you will die someday. And so until my brother, who distracted me with a slap (for mats), and filled up this bastard. He offered to pass by, but I longed for revenge.
Gothic: Golems – In the amount of three pieces (+ one on the bridge to the ruins), they expect us on the way to the mage of Xardas.
At the first passage of Gothic, I did not really delve into the dialogs, so I ran through my eyes and everything. Since I was downloading a warrior, at the sight of a scroll with a spell, I exchanged him for a hawchik or what nonsense. And as it turned out in vain. After several deaths, it dawned on me that it might be worth trying opposite elements. So I did. The fiery gole was bent from the ice, the ice from the fire melted. But then was a more interesting golem. Live rock – stone gop. And then all my guesses about the opposite elements, crashed on this stone bastard. How I just did not pick him. I tried all the magic to which I could reach. Everything is in vain. I was finally desperate, and came to the conclusion – that I missed an important information. I still have a habit of maintaining the same slot. Spat, started a new game. In the end, everything turned out to be quite simple. We find a hammer, and by a pebble we analyze this immortal bastard.
On this nostalgic note, go to heavyweights:
Postal 2: Dude – The character who, under the sensitive guidance of the player, turns into a serial killer maniac. Dude lives in a trailer with a nasty wife and dog champ.
Here I admit, hesitated. On the one hand, he is a protagonist, albeit lightly a rushing roof. On the other hand, the psychopath, who was thrown by the wolf’s mother, was completely on the head, Jack was picked up by the Ripper with Chikatila and raised him in the Arkham hospital, surrounding him with “love and care”. Our "good villain" manages to turn a simple campaign for milk into a local judgment day. At the same time, excuse me, to piss everything around, make half of the visitors go, kill all the staff, shake milk, burn the coming cops, put a cat on the trunk of a shotgun, and for all this it took him 10 minutes. And then, as in nothing unprecedented, go to get a job as an artist, or
Cash a check to the bank. What can I say – a person has talent.
Batman: Arkham asylum\City: Joker – The genius of the criminal world. Clown psychopath. Man without the past. A man without a name.
Although he is a psycho with love for cruelty, he is far from a fool. He managed to drive the “greatest detective” by the nose, and not only his. Joker makes it dangerous not only his mind, but also his motives. He does not need wealth or power. He is interested in the very process of immersion in chaos. For him, this is all the game, and the sophistication and worse – the more interesting he is to "play". This makes him an unpredictable enemy. Now he can demand a ransom for hostages, and at the last moment to blow up everyone to the damn mother. So, laughter for the sake. In close combat with the heroes, the Joker, is extremely rare and only if he has a clear advantage. About the past of the Joker, for certain, nothing is known. Some claim that he was a gangster and fell into a vat with acid, others that he disfigured himself, others – that he himself does not remember where he got this “terrible” smile. May his thinness and “stupid” appearance not mislead you. He is one of the most dangerous villains of comics, films and video games.
How to hide a secret from the greatest detective in the world? You need to leave it in sight, right under his nose and … wait.
Far Cry 3: Vaas Montenegro – Leader of local pirates, madman. It is extremely cruel. Lover "scratching the tongue".
From the first minutes, to me, and to many players, Vaas liked it like a very interesting character. I first thought that he was the main antagonist, but then the leader flashed somewhere behind the Vaas. Something muttered to him, and Vaas rushed to the owner. There was even a little disappointment. Why is Vaas not the main thing in this story? But over time, everything fell into place. In fact, Vaas with his pirates is just a chain dog that bites only on the command of the owner. Several times I caught myself thinking – why will the Vaas not capture the business? After all, the owner has an army from mercenaries, and the mercenaries are subordinate to the one who pays them. But then I remembered who the waas is – a quick -tempered thug. He can shoot a man for his oblique gaze in his direction. He simply will not hold the business. And if he has enough money and goods to keep the business afloat is unknown. After the death of Vaas, the game became a little empty. Before his death, I was constantly waiting for a new meeting with him to hear an interesting dialogue or just a crazy scene with his participation.
Bulletstorm: General Victor Sarrano https://lucky-barry-casino.co.uk/ – Extremely rare and abominable creature. Extremely cruel. Pursues only their own goals. Genocide arranges – "just spit".
Victor, his mother, Sarrano, leads the detachment “Dead Echo”, under the command of Gray, forcing to kill the necessary (innocent (innocent (!)) to him people, under the guise of criminals. But our brave detachment copied the scoundrel and in rude form expressed him everything that he thinks about him, he, in turn, covers them with mats and pushes patriotic speech. About our acquaintance with the general. The general is remembered by his speeches, and the behavior in general. It seems that they save Sarrano from the clutches of Godzilla, he covers them with all kinds of mats, laughs like a horse, and in appendage – drops a girl who helped him to save him, down from the building. His laughter is something between a rustic rooster and a racehorse. In another scene – a girl that he dropped (yes, she survived) from the building pokes in his face. She asks him – “You killed my father?", From death, he is separated by one wrong movement or word. And then he gives out completely unexpected (even from him), for me, the phrase – "always wanted to fuck you". Recognizes in the murder, and again – laughs like a horse. He even has an insult launching code – an insult – U-R-A-D-U-M-B-T -I-T. The most interesting thing in Sarrano is that he beautifully covers obscenities. Just like a Russian person. In general, a specific radish. It’s hard or in writing, it is hard to describe Sarrano, it just needs to be seen and heard, because this is a crazy but charismatic person, and of course – one of the most memorable video games of the video game.
Carefully! A bunch of spoilers!
Bioshock Infinite: Comest. He is a "prophet". – The main antagonist of the game. Father Elizabeth. He is a booker Devitt. He is a protagonist of the game, but somewhere in a parallel world.
A striking example of “Finta with the ears” when the protagonist and antagonist are the same person, albeit in parallel worlds (or what else can it be called). Comstock proclaims himself a prophet, abducts at the Boker (or at himself?) the daughter, who, due to the “gap” loses the little finger, declares the bouker a false prophet and opens the hunting season for him. That Elizabeth does not escape, the Prophet locks it in the tower that limits its abilities. Bouquer, closer to the final, kills the Komstok – in fact killing himself. Comest, in itself, is not remarkable in anything, it is remembered only thanks to the main protagonist – Boker Devitt. If not for the booker, he would be ordinary crazy, with whom, in his opinion, the angel spoke and opened him the future. I would also like to note the nightingale – he is a guard and guardian Elizabeth. It was from under his nose that Buker took Elizabeth. I even felt a little sorry for him when the booker and Elizabeth drowned him “delight”.
Borderlands 2: Handsome Jack – Eagle egoist. Petty tyrant. Leader of the Hyperion Corporation.
As in the case of General Sarrano – Jack is remembered by his dialogues and statements. Jack himself, in the game we meet extremely rarely, but this does not diminish his charisma. Jack well, just like oooo loves to fasten, he even turns murder into mockery. I especially remember his “diamond pony”, to whom he gave a name in honor of the protagonist – “Zhopets”. When Moxy abandoned him, he destroyed her arena. The prospect in the still unfinished city, Jack wants to settle the "elected" – Tobish of the most wealthy people. And pump out all the earned wealth from them. Since Jack is a narcissistic egoist, he pushed his statues throughout the city. Which the protagonist successfully destroyed. Who would have thought, but our "handsome" has a girlfriend – the sheriff of Lynchwood. Patient on the head of a psychopath, with sadistic inclinations. Which only awaits the reason to kill someone. As they say – "every creature by pair". Jack’s goals are banal – money, power.
Mortal Kombat 3 Ultimate: Shao Kan – Hefty mOwlTo With a sledgehammer. Emperor of the outside world.
Still does not calm down with the seizure of the earth. When I was a child, and was just starting to play on the segment, to kill Motaro for me was like some kind of holiday. But the holiday ended as soon as Shao Kan appeared in the arena, with its powerful blows. Received a kick -1 \ 4 hp. Hook -already -2 \ 4. Next – green stars, sledgehammers and other delights of murders are used. I tried to kill him, an infinite number of times, until my friend had a cherished book, which, one might say, was the key to the victory over Shao Kan. After long training in PVP and studying all the combo, Shao Kang was finally defeated. I hastily opened the book and read what the symbols on the screen mean. Since then, for me to perform fatalities or brutality, it was something transcendent, I chose a symbol in the form of a skull, and observed the fulfillment of all final techniques.
Mass Effect: Lord – Giant dreadnought. Representative of the race of reasonable machines known as the "Reapers".
I still remember the beginning of the first me, when I first saw a reap. During the passage of the game, I was horrified as interesting – what kind of ship it is. And Bioware did not let. The conversation with the ruler on Vermair, instead of answers, gives an exiled even more puzzles. If you do not take into account the second and third me, then the Lord attracts its mystery. Cars are deprived of feelings, but it is extremely arrogant. Considers organic life a mistake. People and other races for the Reapers are superfluous crop that they collect as soon as civilization reaches the peak of their development. In a conversation, he claims that each of the reapers is a separate nation. The Lord is a scout whose task is to observe. And as soon as civilization reaches its peak, it falls a signal to the “keepers” on the citadel. They, in turn, turn the citadel into a giant relay so that the Legion of the Reaper could fly from the dark depths of the cosmos. But since the proteins reprogrammed the keepers, the lord had to fly to the citadel and open the relayer. It is in an attempt to open a relay, he dies from the "hands" of the alliance. From the point of view of the reapers, the death of the Lord can be described as – a bunch of little Chihuahua bit a healthy, two meter man.
Fable: The Lost Chapters: Jack – The main antagonist of the game. Hiding his face behind the mask. It is considered immortal. Age is unknown.
Jack is known very little. It is known that he can remain immortal by preserving his soul in a mask. And the one who puts it on her body to Jack. It is also assumed that Jack for many years, he lived even before the appearance of a human race. Jack wants to capture the "sword of centuries", but for this he needs an archont heir, with whom the main character of the game. It was he who killed his mother and father of the hero, and burned his village. At the end of the game, Jack appears in the shape of a dragon. After the murder of Jack, the hero has to make a choice: throw the mask into the lava or put it on. If you throw the mask, then Jack will forever be expelled from Albion. If you put on a mask, then you will hear Jack’s words – “I told you that you just won’t kill me” and your hero will forever become evil. As in the case of the Lord, Jack was remembered for me with his mystery, I was interested in the whole game – who he is and what he is. But nothing concrete in history was told, and the mask, in my eyes, gives +50% to charisma.
In conclusion, I would like to add that I described all the characters in my memory, as I remember I remember. I also wanted to add a wild hunt – but this is not a character, but an event, but I did not remember the king of wild hunting. Except, perhaps, the connection with wild hunting.
Don’t Make Me Laugh!"
The best comments
Since it was about the antagonists-protagonists, you can safely enter Martin Walker from Spec Ops: The Line.
I plug, good topic. But to the description of Serrano, you just need to attach a video, especially since you yourself say that you need to hear it.
Good, but I do not agree about the dude. All the same, all these "atrocities" and crazy antics on the conscience of the player himself, and not the originally prescribed character type. If you do not run with hooting and do not create indecency, then you can observe how the rest of the world is more and more crazy, and the dude becomes a victim of circumstances and the only more or less sane character.
It was interesting to read. True, from the villains Mass Effect, I prefer the ghost (Illusive Man). And I don’t remember Jack Fable at all. Strange, because not once passed … sclerosis looks like.
Well, about Bioshock Infinite solid spoilers. The game was not so long ago, not everyone still got acquainted.
Yes, and not trash. Such a solid, extremely cynical and sarcastic parody of a bunch of all sorts of different social phenomena and stereotypes. With a huge amount of black humor. But, due to the weak localization, a weak understanding of the foreign realities and the low-age of the average gamer, the shooter was perceived as a pile, where you can piss on people, put cats on a weapon barrel, play with dogs with a severed head and a bunch of other indecent.
Tachata, it is not necessary to be a killer maniac in. You can go through the whole game (I’m talking about the second part) without killing anyone, and in replacement you are given the title of "Jesus". So for a dude you can be what you want.
Good topic. I voye about golems from Gothic – I hated them. I tried to go through them for a very long time. And Sarrano is a cool character, yes. In general, nothing that you would not say.

To be honest, it’s not enough, but interesting.
I would add Vladimir from Max Payne.
Well, Dagot UR/Almaleckia could still be, the story of 5 demigods is simply interesting.
For me, so this list should be made very carefully. And, in a good way, to divide the antagonists and villains from each other. Antagonist – the one against whom His Majesty makes the plot to fight. The villain is the one whose moral principles are strongly contrary to public morality.
