Sure it stands to reason that you would get to chose what type of villain you want to play; and i think variety is a top tier priority in this, so if you want to play an anti-hero, a murdering psycho, assassin with a code, etc. you can finally do it! (since not many games allow you to play as the bad guy)
What i personally like in a good villain, is his/her true evilness, that is to say how BAD they really are, in their nature. I think i got sick of the “modern” type of villains who all got their own reasons and justifications for their actions, or simply they’re convinced they’re doing the good thing. But no, the kind of villain i’m talking about is someone who could be seen as a saint if only they started pretending to be good, cause they know perfectly well, even better than most heroes themselves, what will do good, and what will do bad, and they always pick what will do bad, and excel at it.
lol well, in that case a true villain will postpone burning themselves to death, cause that would “do good” for many potential victims out there! xD this lets me think of “Crossed”, a very gruesome comic about some type of virus or something that turned people into maniacs, anyway their “leaders” would always be smarter than normal, and unlike them would also have an instinct of self-preservation, so that they’ll be able to infect even more humans and enjoy killing. (the others “stupid” ones would often kill themselves just for fun)
Getting to pick the kind of villain you are - a criminal in for the dough like Captain Cold, a would be world ruler like Doctor Doom, or an insane aimless psychopath like Carnage. Villains in comics are immensely diverse and games involving them should reflect that.
Well with Cold it’s the fact in the comics (haven’t seen the Flash show yet so I can’t speak for him) he and the Rogues traditionally have pretty big rules about how they operate, including most importantly that they don’t kill people… or I think at the very least innocent people.
Captain Cold on the Flash is the best Reason for watching it. He goes from villain to antihero to hero. And he’s deliciously hammy ( though being the guy from prison break along sone might say he’s just delicious and his prison break partner being his heatwave partner)
Yeah, getting through the entire Arrowverse at some point is on my to do list, it isn’t exactly getting any smaller… Right now I’m busy enough catching up with the Netflix Marvel shows and Legion.
I like a villain who makes me question the reasoning of the"good" side, one who points out the flaws of the good guys and their hypocrisy, one who’s arguments and cause makes more sense than those of the heroes.
That’s why I liked most of the traitor primarchs in the Horus heresy series, some of them actually had compelling reasons to turn on the imperium
To be able to be a “good” villain like the whole steal from the rich and give to the poor. Also being able to do what you think a villain would do like rob, kill, blow stuff up because you feel like it you know the classic villains that did what they wanted when they wanted. Hope this helps
This post was extremely villainous in itself and I really like that also If playing as a villian I want options I want to be able to redeem myself or go past the point of no return. Shakespearean Jullians like those in Macbeth or Hamlet are awesome.
I like the idea of a hero turned villain slowly due to moral choices best example being the main character of spec ops the line. The game has a good amount of moral choices that increasing severity the more you play through the game . Examples:Shooting at a civilian mob that’s hanging one of your men, Choosing between a deserter or a thief, Shooting at dying soldiers that you used white phosphorus on and many more that I cant think of right now.
If I had to choose one type. It’d be the type that never had a choice to begin with. A villian that’s almost pitiable because they never knew love, affection etc. I dig tragedy in all forms so maybe I’m biased.
What do I expect from a villain? Well, I suppose that someone like Koumori Kuroko from the manga “bat” of Kana Yoshimura is a rather nerdy view on my part based on the idea of a manga, but they always ask me: how could this be without really being? I think I make myself understand
Having my own army of minions being a bad ass and being able to be as ruthless as i want i will do what ever it takes to achieve my goals even if it means sacrificing half the worlds population there will be world order when i am done and if it is possible to get my self a harem i will cause i am a villain and i can do what i damn well want.
1.I’d like for the villain to actually have depth and be just as complex and interesting as the hero characters can be instead of being shallow walking clichés that aren’t even intimidating and end up just being pathetic. In my opinion, they don’t need to be redeemable or have redeemable qualities they could still be morally depraved and maintain the viewer’s interest.
The villain to be established as an actual threat by winning major victories over the hero or killing off other protagonists(or severely wounding the MC if they fail to actually kill the MC) instead of just monologuing about how powerful they’re or what their abilities are, followed by them easily being beaten by the protagonists with the protagonists receiving hardly any wounds or personal losses.
If the villain does need to team up with the hero I’d like it if the villain doesn’t have to go through a redemption arc while they’re working with the protagonist. Maybe the villain is working with the hero only because the new antagonist is a threat to the goals of the villain as well as the hero and they’re working with the hero out of desperation or to ensure their own survival.
