Being the bad guy is fun...

[MetaKnight19]

If you could be a video game bad guy/villian, who would you be and why?

I would probably be Ganon, but I dont really know why. Maybe because he is badass.

 

[CoverYourHead]

I've always wanted to be able to play evil Revan after KOTOR (not the stupid KOTOR II crap about him running away to fight ghosts), he was so evil! And Awesome!

 

[Curtmiester]

Illidan. Of course he's not a bad guy depending on who you are but he still did some bad things.

 

[Time Travelling Toaster]

Wesker, just for the voice...seriously.

 

[Radeonx]

Illidan. Of course he's not a bad guy depending on who you are but he still did some bad things.

I agree, although him being bad or good is a thin line. He DID try to kill the Lich King, but he didn't do it with good intentions. He did it because Kil'Jaeden told him to.

 

[Xyphon]

Wesker because not a damn thing would hit me if I could move that fucking fast.

 

[Dorian]

They already did this.

Overlord's I & II. They're also my answers.

 

[fedpayne]

DESAAANN!

 

[joe182]

Wesker, just for the voice...seriously.

Seconded. He's just so awesome.

Nobody loves you when you're evil...

But for the sake of discussion, I'd be Moroes, even though the way Blizzard decided to skin him in the game is silly.

Not my ideal choice but I'm having trouble thinking right now. I'm wracking my mind trying to think of a tragic villain and there's one on the tip of my tongue, but my memory is betraying me.

 

[Schnippshly]

I would be the guy who controls everything in Dungeon Keeper.

Being badass doesn't necessarily mean being evil. And what about the 2 Overlords?
On topic: Probably Sam Fisher. Well he isn't evil, but he's definitely badass.

 

[Arkhangelsk]

Albert Wesker. The voice, the speed, the strength, the evil laughter. Just plain awesome.

 

[Monocle Man]

Nobody loves you when you're evil...

Bah, your tears are all the comforting I need.

Who was that robot pirate captain from Rayman 2? Razorbeard? That was a good villain.
And I would own a flying pirate ship!

 

[Gyrefalcon]

Wesker, just for the voice...seriously.

Seconded. He's just so awesome.

Excellent choice! But I think I'd go for Sephiroth. He started a good chunk of the platinum-haired bad guy character concept. And he was a good fighter and spell-slinger. Honestly, he MADE the game. The other characters just didn't compare.

 

[Heart of Darkness]

Bowser, simply because I COULD DO A BETTER JOB THAN HIM. I mean, look at his fangs and claws--he could mortally maim Mario and/or eat him. And yet he hasn't done so.

 

[Kuchinawa212]

Darth Vader

I really wish I could play of him more then just the first level of TFU
I know he was slow, but I loved him for it.

 

[Biek]

I'd be like Castlevania's Dracula. Ive always liked the idea of having an enormous castle full of undead servants all for myself. And if I get lonely ill just fly out and kidnap a lady.

 

[lolmynamewastaken]

paxton fettel! he scares the hell out of me so maybe this is the batman thing...

Sshhhh. Also Behind Blue Eyes by The Who is better.

To revise my answer from before, if I could be ANY villain, I'd be Koshchei the Deathless from the Hellboy trade Darkness Calls. But this is video game so I'm just cheating.

I'll keep thinking.
