Great yet Overlooked game villains

[Tautimona]

Faulkner from Vanguard Bandits, he had a great and somewhat charismatic revenge plot like Logain from dragon age

 

[The_Shepherd]

Walton Simons, of course.

 

[2xDouble]

The two spoiler-related bosses at the end of No More Heroes. That game was over the top and the endings equally so.

Also Hojo from Final Fantasy VII. Sephy gets all the spotlight for being all badass and going insane, but none of the major bad things that happened would have without that meddling doctor...

 

[Kakashi on crack]

Killing whats-his-face who *spoilers* kills your girlfriend *end spoilers* in GTAIV

Also the final boss in Kirby 64, and Andros for starfox 64, I mean man, you had a real sense of accomplishment after those guys. (yeah I can defeat em easily nowadays, but as a young child, it was a mega-ultra-awsome accomplishment that took me approximately 20 tries REPLAYING all the levels, to pull off.)

 

[Something Amyss]

Ramirez! No one ever mentions Ramirez!

...no, no, not the one defending the car wash with a rock and a sparkler because the arbiter told him to. >.>

From Skies of Arcadia He's a great villain. You don't even know how important he is until he freezes time and chops you to tiny bits. ..Among other things.

He's my favorite

The Great Pansy? Nah. Galcian was better.

 

[Mechalemmiwinks]

Walt Disney in Fallout: New Vegas. Oh, sorry, he was called "Mr. House" there.

 

[Mr. Omega]

My 3:
Galcian from Skies of Arcadia.
Rukifellth/Sthertoth from Bomberman The Second Attack.
Dimentio from Super Paper Mario.

 

[Tanis]

MMM...I'd the Joker form 'Klonoa' was a rather enjoyable villain, just for being so stupid.

 

[fenderstrat]

King Bohan, from heavenly sword. really funny guy. and veeery hard to kill

 

[springheeljack]

Blackmore from The suffering Ties that Bind
he was just so evil and hes voiced by Michael Clarke Duncan

 

[Shade184]

Dagoth Ur from Morrowind.

Possibly one of the most disturbed villains I've ever seen. Not "fucked in the head" disturbed, like the Joker, but "mad with power" disturbed. Amalexia from the same game was pretty close to his level, too.

 

[Cogwheel]

Spoiler

Kerghan

from Arcanum.

He

Spoiler: Again, spoilers ahead

Lied to/tricked the entire world repeatedly, invented necromancy, turned himself into a horrific skeletal snake monster, enslaved an entire tribe of dwarves, assassinated countless people looking into the whole thing, has tried to kill you any number of times, and his plan is essentially omnicide followed by suicide.

And yet, he has a point. So much so that it's quite possible to agree with him, and the game even says he may well be right. And even if you disagree? Hard not to feel sorry for him.

Takes a lot of skill to make an omnicidal scheming necromancer seem like that.

 

[Break Stuff]

King Logan was pretty cool from Fable III. He wasn't even a villain really, but he had awesome voice acting and dialog.

 

[Fr]anc[is]

The Chantry, if only because many wouldn't consider them a villain. They destroyed the elves and enslave anyone with magic. Screw the chantry

 

[joe90]

Exdeath from final fantasy V gets my vote! him and Sage Ghido had one of my favourite exchanges during their fight
Sage Ghido: ''You think I sat around seven centuries munching on pizza?'' (he is a turtle, hehehe.)
Exdeath: ''Ha ha ha... Perhaps you should have taken the chance... You shall find no such tasty diversions in the afterlife!''

awesome.
