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
Possibly the easiest award to earn in Red Dead Online — and there are a whopping 425 of them — requires you to sell items to each of the game’s three merchants . This is a natural starting point, as all it requires you to do is collect herbs, animal parts, and merchandise to the doctor, butcher, and fence, respectively. These can be easily found throughout the game world, especially herbs in the game’s forest settings. All these items are all plentiful among the game’s large Open World games news world, so get to search
Fans of the series have come to speculate that this is the work of Doug Rattmann, an NPC suffering from schizophrenia and the sole survivor of a neurotoxin attack. Much like the first entry, this is just as sad as it is sc

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

Often times the power to influence and manipulate is stronger than any gun, sword, or army. Red Dead Redemption 2 ’s Dutch Van Der Linde had the unbelievably powerful ability to trick and deceive, all while masquerading as a caring, compassionate man. To start off, he essentially preyed upon two outcast teenagers, John Marston, and Arthur Morgan, so he could raise them as his unquestioning supporters. He takes advantage of people’s bad fortune to gain their trust and essentially turn them into his mindless followers, and his power of speech is so unmatched he can talk men and women into doing terrible deeds and actually convince them they were doing good. As his true colors finally come to light, Dutch exposes himself as a murderous, money loving, selfish sociopath. In a way, Dutch talked himself into not only fame and fortune, but an early gr
On the outset, Portal 2 comes across like a pretty lighthearted game. Sure, there are mysteries concerning the plot, but there isn’t a lot to suggest it is harboring unsettling secrets. Well..spoiler alert..it is. In one of the game’s early test chambers, you can find a room covered in weird graffiti, and if you listen close enough, you can hear odd and disturbing chant
Shenmue is one of the Sega Dreamcast’s most shining titles. Unfortunately, controversy surrounds the remake. However, it is worth remembering how masterful the original was. One of the most exciting aspects was the game’s use of NPCs. Citizens were seemingly going about their day as you guide the title character through the in-game wo
It may seem from the outset that Mario is the good guy as he is on his way to save his girlfriend. However, it is revealed that Donkey Kong stole the girlfriend as revenge for Mario abusing him. We can thank Mario’s animal mistreatment for turning an NPC into one of the most popular video game characters of all t

Sadly, all is not well with each NPC citizen. Yoshikazu Takahashi walks up and down the street each day. However, while the guy looks reasonable enough, his backstory reveals that his company went bankrupt and he gets up every day with a suit and necktie to try to muster the courage to tell his family.
