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

After releasing the Dark Souls games on multiple platforms, it came as a surprise that FromSoftware would be releasing another PlayStation exclusive, their first since Demon Souls. Bloodborne is a master-class in gameplay and Open world games guide design and can currently be purchased for around

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

He quickly realizes his mistake and tries to cover it by saying Jim Milton right after saying John, but the damage is done. Mr. Gedes assistant Mr. Dickens realizes it immediately and gives a look at John of curiosity. Mr. Dickens also mocks him directly after saying "You hear that John Jim". This was a heart-dropping moment for players rooting for John Marston to keep things under cont

The success of the widely acclaimed Red Dead Redemption 2 is owed to its dynamic characters who draw emotion so intense that it can seem palpable. It's been almost a year since its release, but the hype for the game remains str

Abigail Roberts is the wife of John Marston. After the disappearance of John, Abigail begged Arthur to head out into the snowstorm to go find him. She was once an outlaw but decides to adopt a more peaceful lifestyle later in the story. She used to be a prostitute and had sex with numerous members of the Van der Linde g

The ultimate con-man. Throughout the first Bioshock game, the player’s only friend in the downtrodden utopia is a stranger named Atlas. Claiming to be the only one in the underwater city that can help the player, Atlas repeatedly gives what seems like advice on how to escape Rapture, but in reality, are just mind control commands. It turns out Atlas is none other than Frank Fontaine, a power-hungry smuggler reportedly shot and killed in a shootout years prior. As it turns out, Frank Fontaine isn’t even his real name, it’s Frank Gorland. He stole the name Frank Fontaine to gain access to Rapture and cons the player into doing his dirty work which then results in the murder of Andrew Ryan, the creator of Rapture. The player, Jack, turns out to be Andrew Ryan’s genetically-altered son who was brainwashed and grown to become Frank’s personal hitman, so long as Fontaine, or Atlas, used the phrase "Would you Kindly". One of the most breathtaking twists in gaming history results in Andrew Ryan’s own son being used against him by the monstrous, multi-named conman Frank Fonta

There are some problems with this reveal, however. While Molly’s actions do make sense to an extent, getting into the logistics of why she would rat herself out results in a scenario where Micah is able to go unrealistically undetected. Molly also gives herself up at a perfect time to get the spotlight off Micah, making the timing a bit too conveni

More importantly, John’s role isn’t like Jack’s. John does not inherit Arthur’s stats or money. While he does snag his weapons and wardrobe later on in the epilogue, John more or less starts over, needing to work his way up to where Arthur left off. Of all the spoilers in the game, this is perhaps the most exciting and interest
