I dunno
I just felt like making a thread where we discuss what makes the villains in games so interesting and what we like about them.
It can be the first easy boss or the Super-Mega-Ultra-Secret Boss, just explain why you like them.
Also use spoiler tags when necessary.
And I guess I can start..
[spoiler=Persona 4]
Adachi man.
He's such a great character. Just the way he goes from terrible comic relief detective to actual fucking insane murderer is brilliant. And the fact that his dungeon has great music is a plus. That and his social link in Golden is great because it shows the side you never saw in the original.
[spoiler=Portal/Portal 2]
Man these games were gems.
But I love GLaDOS/Wheatley because they were always there. While like Adachi they were always there, in Portal 1 GLaDOS was always there and you knew she was crazy. You knew you were gonna face her eventually and that made the final boss just great. Then in 2 you have Wheatley who you think wants to help you, which he technically did, but then he goes insane.
Just the presence of the bosses in these puzzle games of all things made them brilliant.
