One of the most charismatic faces in gaming, Handsome Jack of Borderlands 2 is as hilarious as he is maniacal. Vault Hunters beware, Jack really is the Deadpool of video game characters. He is just as likely to crack an untimely joke as he is to kill you in twisted fashion. Constantly claiming to be the good guy and on the right side of things, Jack has understandable motives that are completely lost in translation with his murderous deeds. A very colorful vocabulary and an ego the size of Pandora make Handsome Jack one of the most memorable antagonists in hist
In his past, Xur was basically in the wrong place at the wrong time and got caught up in the disappearance of the Queen Reef’s lover, something that was likely the fault of The Nine. His result: a hammer to the chest and a resulting long-term injury. Talk about loyalty. No wonder this guy is so enigma
Resident Evil has long been home to many great villains. The likes of Albert Wesker and Jack Baker just to name a few, but Resident Evil 4 ’s king of the Las Plagas was special. Lord Osmund Saddler deceives his way into a cult following and forms a plan of world domination. To start this plan Saddler enlists the help of Jack Krauser, who is tasked with absconding with the President of the United States’ daughter. To make matters worse, once she is taken, Saddler infects her with the Las Plagas virus and plans to betray Krauser. This leads to an eventual winner-take-all collision course with Leon S. Kenn
GLaDOS of the Portal series definitely stands out from the other characters on this list in that it is not even human. GLaDOS is the central core of the Aperture Science computer-aided Enrichment Center. What makes this villain so great is that she doesn’t appear to be a living entity at first, as she initially sounds like prerecorded messages. In a crazy revelation, the main character realizes this is not the case, and the player has to survive and escape GLaDOS’s death traps. An unexpected reveal and very interesting dialogue make this character one of the more memorable Antagonists in all of gam
Cory Barlog and his team managed to accomplish both of these things and turned Kratos from a one-note angry strong guy into an emotionally complex and relatable father. Doing that isn’t easy by any stretch of the imagination and the journey you experience along the way is breathtaking and truly remarka
Along with the Showdown Series, Red Dead Online ’s Race Series will test your horse riding skills against a host of online competitors. Standard and Open World Games Guide races are purely speed competitions, but the newly patched target races add an extra layer of challenge as players must hit targets while they race against other riders. Winning these races is one of the best ways to farm XP, and practice makes perf
That is because Simon Pearson is the chef for the Dutch van der Linde gang, and he became their chef after he was rescued from loan sharks. As someone who you can speak to in-camp, and someone who is part of missions such as the one where the camp ran out of food, Simon Pearson is a good fri
Xur is a mysterious merchant that seems to show up at the right time when you need rare items in Destiny or Destiny 2 . However, who is Xur? Do you know who you are buying things from? Well, for starters, this guy is endlessly loyal to The Nine, rulers of the Jovi
In the spur of the moment, John has to decide if he’s riding for revenge, risking everything he has worked for, or if he’s staying home and putting it all behind him. He chooses to ride with Sadie and Charles as they trace Micah’s associate to Strawberry. This scene echos John and Arthur’s talks about loyalty and who to be loyal too. In the end, Arthur was his most trusted friend and even after completing what Arthur wanted, John to escape and live with his family, he puts it on the line for certain clos
Mass Effect gave to gamers one of the wildest fights for survival seen thus far in the form of the war against robotic behemoths named The Reapers. Beyond the Reapers, though, was The Illusive Man. Almost a Keyser Soze like figure, The Illusive Man heads the renegade group Cerberus, who the game’s protagonist, Commander Shephard, is actively fighting against most of the game. What really sets The Illusive Man apart, though, is what he does when he finds a beaten and battered Commander Shephard in space. He revives him and sets him free again. As interesting as he is puzzling, The Illusive Man lives up to his n
John can acknowledge his flaws in a funny manner, and it becomes even funnier hearing the background to this conversation. The reason for the move to Strawberry is because John shot someone that he claimed needed shooting. Like he said, honest, but not always g
After Dutch convinces Eagle Flies to lead his men to an army controlled oil field for an attack, John utters this line. This comes after John’s escape from Sisica penitentiary, and tensions are at an all-time high. Dutch states he is partially responsible for Eagle Flies attack, and that it is all a part of his p
