So another topic of a top 5. list the top 5 video game villains you have fought against in a game. As long as they are in a video game, you can only use the context of the video game(s) they are in. Also, if it's not too much trouble, give a blurb on why they were your top 5.
SPOILER WARNING
5. Assassin's Creed 2 - the Pope - Look, I really enjoyed beating the shit out of the pope. Don't ask me why. Getting to play as Ezio and infiltrating the vatican to beat the shit out of him was just good fun.
4. Call of Duty Modern Warefare Original Trilogy - Makarov - Say what you want about the current crop of games, but the old crop was far far better. Makarov was a villain who was only a minor role in the first of the trilogy, then became the mastermind of the last two games who even took advantage of all the chaos that SAS 141 and LT Shepherd's feud cost. Makarov was always one step ahead no matter how many guys you shot, maneuvered everything well and had so many escape routes to the point where the only way to finally kill him was to have a 2 man assault with juggernaut armor on his giant buidling, and even then he almost got away by helicopter. I can only say LoL at this guy. The best part about the writing though was that he wasn't too ridiculous like in Call of Duty Ghosts, and wasn't too bland like the more recent call of duty's that are trash in my opinion when it comes to story writing and character.
3. Devil May Cry (not the shitty DmC version) - Vergil - Although he doesn't stay bad for ever, in Devil May Cry 3 he's the villain with the cold words. There was always something cool about him and the way he would completely destroy my health bar with that katana like sword. Not only that, the way he yells Dante when you beat him in the last level just screams awesome.
Actually, Vergil was the only boss I actively tried to perfect with Royal Guard because I fought him so much. Plus the general ability to just not care and completely disregard those whom he saw as beneath him was ahead of it's anime time.
2. Batman Arkham Series - Joker - The Joker in these games spanned 3 games where he was physically there (this include origins), and though not technically alive was still a huge factor in Arkham Knight. The biggest thing about this version of Joker was that he was so bad that even the Arkham batman decided he should have just killed the guy. First of all, this Joker was way stronger than all the other versions. When he was younger in origins, he could survive a helicopter explosion, he was good enough to take out black mask and impersonate him to put a bounty on Batman, hell there is always a general unease when he's around.
The goons he has are chaotic as well, and Harly becomes a zoned out psychopath from his wild and reckless behavior. This is a Joker that really doesn't give a f*** about anything but his own amusement. He's brutal, he's dangerous as hell and he's everywhere scheming things. All the other versions of the Joker have been extremely tame compared to this one.
1. Pagan Min - Far Cry 4 - I feel like this was Ubisoft's version of Joker. Honestly, he's my favorite villain in all of video games. When I played through Far Cry 4, he was always calling me and having a jovial chat, every time it felt like you'd kill him he would just find a way to escape and then when you finally do corner him he tells you he would have just given control of the country to you if you just wanted it.
Hell, this is proven if you just stayed and enjoyed the Crab Rangoon for 15 minutes instead of running out like the game prompts you. It was one of the few games where I liked the antagonist more than the people whom I was supposed to be allied with. You eventually found out that he actually loved your mother, and your mother left because it was your biological father who made it difficult for her that she fell in love with him.
By extension, he likes you because you're the last person related to your mother. It's actually a cruel twist in some regards, and he's always the video game antagonist I remember the most.
