This ought to be fun and seperate the men from the boys in regards to the last option.
A fun game for Sunday after this weird week, inspired by a crazy ski masked rapper and a livestream I watched yesterday
I'll put 3 categories of villain for you to choose from, and also note I said favourite not greatest so you can't hide behind killcount, effectiveness or effect they still had on society now. In rising spiciness, the choices are:
Favourite gaming villain
Favourite media villain so can be anime or western media
Favourite historical villain
And since I suggested it I'll go first:
Gaming villain: Kane from C&C franchise, he was a mastermind with style and in the 3rd game played EVERYONE to win in the end
Media Villain: Demiurge from Overlord series, despite putting himself as number 2 behind the MC, the actual mastermind of the series, from 'happy farms' to his 'majestic weapon', you want evil look this guy up
Historical villain: I could be a wuss and say Vlad the Impaler or someone similar but let's go with someone very spicy, Shiro Ishii. Why him? Because after ALL the atrocities he committed for his 'scientific experiments' in Unit 731, he not only got away with it after the war but got military medals for it, pardoned and paid $200k by the Americans in exchange for his research and is responsible for a lot of the true vaccines we use today.
So anyone want to play?
Ooh boy, I'll have to think long and hard about this one. I have so many to pick from, but if I had to pick only one, it would have to be the Aparoids from Star Fox: Assault. Yeah, the controls haven't aged all that well, but there was just something about the concept of an alien insect hivemind, whose queen has psychic powers, consuming the galaxy that hit the right horror notes when I played it all the way through many years ago. hint hint Nintendo
Ramses II in The Prince of Egypt. This is completely putting aside the religion aspect of the movie. You get to see him grow up alongside Moses, and eventually grow apart as he solidifies himself as Pharaoh of Egypt (going so far as to, among numerous other things, to have built an even larger statue than that of his father, Seti I, who also plays a major role despite only being in the first half). After all that transpires in the second half, it all culminates in this climax that I feel few movies have ever matched.
I've got to go with Al Capone. He was a real bastard, but damn, was his PR game top notch. When he was eventually caught, they didn't pin him on murders, kidnappings, and extortion. No no no, they instead got him on tax evasion in what would be the first of many big takedowns by the federal organization known today as the IRS.
And that historical villain is why even The Joker doesn't fuck with the IRS lol
Nice media pick, I like the opposing sides grew up together but fate divided them onto different paths storyline
