When I saw FF6 on the spoiler list, I immediately heard laughter in 16-bits.
Vaas is probably my favorite villain in all of gaming… I still go back and watch clips of his dialogue from time to time
Deserves a spin-off game.
And, yes, only on 10 place - nice comment-bait )
Same
I really don't get that. He has about 10mins of screen time.
I quote his insanity monologue on the daily😂
The live action was hilarious
I recently replayed far cry 3 and what really speaks volumes about how good Vaas is as a villain is the fact that I'm always surprised by how little he is in the game, he's so impactful that i seem to remember him being everywhere all the time...
He doesn't die
the world is on a diagonal and he is the balancing point.
joseph seed is arguably worse. 1 blasphemous against god and jesus. 2 he nukes his own hometown.
@@DaveMc1996 That's the point of Joseph. If you play Far Cry New Dawn, he realizes this himself after Farcry 5, has this huge epiphany, casting himself out of New Eden (sorry, spoiler) and then when he comes back, he becomes your ally and helps you defeat the antagonist of that game.
I believe the developers were surprised and struck by Michael Mando's Vaas.
They kinda wanted to make Hoyt Volker a worse guy later on. By concept he is, but not by acting.
Loved Michael Mando in Better Call Saul, what a fantastic actor.
Nacho was the best character in the show
@@PanicAttack3211 He had amazing character growth, I really liked him as a character.
Nacho grew to be one of my favs. in the show.
Words can’t describe how much I hated David in The Last Of Us. Absolutely disgusting individual. I was cheering so hard when Ellie finally killed him.
Same here. Couldn’t believe that Nolan North voiced him when I finally read the credits. He’s can be way more indistinguishable than people give him credit for.
@@sugreev2001 Ellie was my #1 pick for Villain that Went TOO FAR
Yeah she really rearranged his face
@@sugreev2001 Him, Troy Baker, Mark Hamlin and Kevin Conroy are national treasures when it comes to video games. Ashley Burch is up there too. I've only heard Ashley Johnson in last of us so I can't put her on the Mount Rushmore of voice actors yet.
@@ryancbarrett96Don't forget Laura Bailey and Jennifer Hale.
Gameranx is literally the best. I wait everyday for their video and an hour ago I seen 30 best PC games of 2022 and I was sad because I dont have a PC but they knew people would feel that way and dropped 2 videos today. Absolutely the best game channel.
They did a PS5 video the day before though and there was no other video that day for people who don't own a PS5 lol. This was most likely tomorrow's video that was uploaded by mistake.
Alternatively, you can enslave the Dung Eater and make him fight for you. He’s actually one of the best summons in Elden Ring
agreed. also, the way he gets enslaved is so brutal that it actually seems better when you do it to dung eater as well. like you hear how its done and the option you get would be awful but dung eater, being completely conscious but trapped in his own body for eternity is fitting.
@@jimmusthegrimmace Cant believe he was a usable character, i just killed him in the sewers
Every time I summon him I say "go do that thing you like to do"
Can't believe we got Oddworld on this list you sir are a gentleman and a scholar
Falcon is a cultured and worldly bird. He's a connoisseur of the video game world.
Kefka, yes! Excellent pick. Also you forgot that the Joker was voiced by Mark Hamil, arguably one of the best Jokers ever.
Mark Hamil definitely shares the number 2 spot with Nicholson in best joker portrayals. And only because of my huge respect for Nicholson's performance because Hamil pretty much set the standard for every portrayal of the joker.
True; Kefka and the Joker are both two literal clowns in appearance with equally unhinged and unpredictable behavior
I'd love to hear Mark Hammill as Kefka
Both are boring "insane clown" archetypes.
I’d say Ted Faro from Horizon Zero Dawn and Forbidden West should be on this list. He lead the entire world and all life to being wiped out, destroyed all human knowledge that was to help the next generation to grow and flourish then tried to become immortal to be the god of those people a thousand years later.
Michael Mando as Vaas was an Emmy-level performance and it was in a damn video game. Just magnetic.
Villian: I'm going to destroy the world!
Kefka: Please. I did that last week.
Just want to say thanks for all of your content. It's helping me through a hard time right now. I've been a viewer of this channel for years. My mom passed away on new years day and your content has been helping me through some of these hard moments. So thank you again.
I loved this channel for years but being surprised that you knew kefka let alone put him on the top spot makes me respect what you do even more
FF is one of the most popular game series ever, and these guys play games for a living. If they don't know a villain from a classic game then they shouldn't be making videos
@@TheParkerThirteen FFVI tends to be forgotten even within the FF community because of how incredibly popular FFVII is
farcry 3 and 4 were some fantastic rpgs, just enough in the world to make it fun to explore while also making it feel meaningful. I actually enjoyed Pagan Min more than I enjoyed Vaas but i think thats because he had more screentime and his story came full circle with the decisions the player makes. Great story, great gameplay, rewarding, fun, and compelling.
Action adventure, but yeah they were really good. Especially FC3
I wouldn’t call Far Cry an RPG though
Grey Digital Target has a pretty boy but in some war that humans made technically. It's verry hard set in War and suffering for no reason. Imagine making true AI and then it misunderstands something or becomes corrupted. It plays at War like a kid with plastic soldiers. The Tan and Green ones. Makes people become soldiers just to make them citizens of this elusive city the computer "invented," meaning we burned it long ago and forgot. The remains of this elusive city the computer talks about in the anime does not exist and is ruins now. Sex and War. (Early 90's era late 80's) Mad Bull 34 and a view of corruption of police versus The System itself. Titties and the deaths of street punks in sprays of blood (90's era) then what we got now (Heard good things but I do not trust Netflix) Cyberpunk 2077 anime. Black Butler Season 1 and 2, Book of Murder, Book of Circus. (2000's era and first iteration of the Xbox 360 anime.) You'll have you mind blown what got passed the censors of the early years of anime and TV. It was the 80's after all. MTV was the thing and Coke was King. (Not the soda specifically but the Coke Kids discontinued made Cocaine soda and then the actual drug too.) It WAS the 80's after all. Genocyber, MD Geist, Akira, Knights of Ramune, Elven Lied, Angel Cop (SICK ass music too) I think you get the point.
@@BlackMoonHowls absolutely fkin nailed it lol
@@ryanlafferty5815 GPTChat AI or whatever it's called, seems like.
People say The Joker lives in Batman's head because of the magic(?) blood transfusion. I just figured Bruce knew the Joker so well that he'd know what he'd say and do in certain situations.
And I think that makes it all the more effed up.
Been saying this about Kefka for years thank you for putting it out there.
I never knew Nolan North did the voice of David!!!! 🤯🤯🤯 thanks for that bit of info, Falcon!!
With the remaster coming out
I'd say Luca Blight from Suikoden 2
The man was terrifying
The joker is one of the most hilarious and psychopathic villains I've ever battled.
Wilhelm "Deathshead" Strasse from Wolfenstein The New Order. His presence can be felt everywhere in the game. He also does some horrendous stuff in the game.
2 Gameranx videos in one day?! How’d you all know it was my birthday?
Happy Birthday
@@gameranxTVThanks! 😃
I know right!
But what if he uploads a Third one😳
Love your videos fellas! I remember watching you when you had like 3 million subscribers, which is A LOT, but it's so fun to see now you have grown to 7.4 million and counting, and I'm rooting for you guys because you're awesome in every way.
I don't get to play games as much as I once did, but its so nice having a channel like yours that helps me explore games I've never heard of, you've also peaked my interest in lots of different genres and just i think you're so influential in your narrations and help lots of others! Keep up the great work!
Hell yeah! So happy Final Fantasy 6 made it on the list!
That mid-game twist had me wondering if I had done something wrong at the time... like the bad guy had literally just smashed up the world.... it was mind blowing at the time.
Thats why gameranx does not disappoint me: I knew from the title that Kefka was going to be number 1. Good knowledge of decades of gaming. Cheers!
I was really hoping they wouldn't forget him. I can never forget his laugh on the SNES. So iconic.
I've looked through the timestamps and I don't need to know more about the Joker from the Arkham series. What he did to Jason Todd for example is more than despicable. And he keeps doing these terrible things like it's nothing. Never wanted to kill someone more even though I know I shouldn't. Props to Batman for being able to withstand that evil.
Yeah, props to him.
For those who don't know what he did he tortured jason todd so much that he became a while antihero and is the dlc for Arkham knight
In a sort of weird twisted way, I feel like Batman can’t let the Joker go. Like, well they are “DeStinEd tO dO tHis fOrevEr” I feel like Batman kind of likes the thrill of the chase with Joker. Maybe not specifically in The Arkham games though.
@@saitheruler3581he did that in the comics but not only tortured him but proceeded to trap him and blow him up with a bomb
@@aj-taz_editing on yeah i forgot about that, he also killed his mom with said bomb
I didn't expect to see Kefka in this list, especially not at #1, and this just made my day
Awesome video. I think a video of bad guys/ antagonists that are the most likeable as apposed to the most vile would be a good watch too. I know it's not common but sometimes there's bad guys that actually had good intentions and just went about it the wrong way. What comes to mind for me would be someone like Caius Ballad from FF13-2. He's definitely a bad guy but the more I played the game the more I came to understand his motivations and even sympathize with him. By the end of the story I even found a part of myself wanting him to succeed.
Pretty good list, ma peche ;)
By the way it's General Leo that Kefka murders. Cid can potentially die too though if you don't save him as Celes ^^;
I feel like Ardyn also deserves at least an honorable mention for the insane lengths he goes to for revenge.
Final fantasy 6 is one of my most favorite games. It's always nice seeing it in list's.
FF7 is more famous but FF6 is, by far, the best FF6 there is. Best story, best villian and best characters.
it needs a full out remake like FF7 got.
If you've played the two Final Fantasy 6 is definitely the better game. And that's saying something.
The Dungeater will forever be my puppet.
Another worthy mention, I think, would be Algus from Final Fantasy Tactics. He believes the noble class to be above the rest and he's just an all around jerk. And a murderer...
"Your grandfather would be proud."
I like these type of villains if they succeed it's scary, but it's even scarier when you see the build up of over the top horror and chaos
Yeah, gotta love Jack as a villain. Definitely one that has to be rated highly, he’s so hateable but somewhat relatable
@@danrn9370 agreed
Vaas Montenegro is my all time villain he taught me the definition of insanity i will never forget it
So glad you guys brought up xenosaga....one of my all time favorites
i know you old talking bout xenosaga with a cal sign akira. but you dead on. great series of of games
Do you know that song playing during the albedo section? It doesn't seem to be his actual theme
MY FAVORITE CZcams CHANNEL LOVE YOU GUYS FOR ALL THE WORK YOU ARE DOING
"Playing as the video game hero, you need someone to defeat - Hi folks, it's Falcon." - Perfect intro.
Allistair Tenpenny? Nukes Megaton just because it spoils his view of the blighted wasteland from his penthouse balcony.
Good call !
Very glad the Dung Eater made this list. His questline and ending were by far one of the most nihilistic ones I've ever done.
I knew Kefka was gonna be on this list, the only Villian I know of that fully succeeded in their world domination attempt
...and on that day the world was changed forever...
Trash jrpg villain
2 videos in a day, what a treat
💯% love the Luca Blight choice, brought back so much hate I had for the guy. Well established at the beginning and end though I wish I saw a bit more of him in between.
it took us 3 whole battles back to back just to corner and finally killed him
and he's not even a final boss with multiple forms, just a human
but wow, that whole sequence was so satisfying
What game is it? Im hard of hearing and cant quite make out the game he said sweep a gun 2?
@@gibby3767 Its from the Suikoden franchise under Konami but more specifically, he came from the sequel which is Suikoden 2
@@danrn9370 thanks man, is there an easy way to play it? It looked super interesting
@@gibby3767 wait a little while, suikoden 1 and 2 remaster is on their way
Thanks for the most evil characters on the top 10. We might need some top 10 most heroic characters that did some most dangerous heroic moment or even sacrificed themselves into saving the world or any important situation.
I know this is off the topic of this video. But where can I suggest some ideas like top 10 topics? On the comments, on the twitter? Somewhere else? I really like it when you working hard to always finding top 10 stuff. Just a fan suggestions hehe. You are awesome Falcon.
Thanks. We read the comments…thanks for your suggestion
Personally I would've put Luca at No.2. The guy kills his own allies to kick off a war, kills his own father because he hates him, sacrifices hundreds, if not thousands to activate a True Rune and is such a beast in battle that it takes getting peppered with arrows, fighting off eighteen heroes, getting hit with more arrows before finally getting into a one on one with the MC to be stopped. And even then he shows no remorse, reveling in the atrocities he's committed.
Wasn't worried about spoilers but damn I kind of want to play Judgement now
You haven't played judgment? Damn you are missing out
It and the sequel are good games
I was busy with the game when this video came out and then I saw that judgment was in it so then I immediately played the game (while taking my time, that is really important with these games) and now I’m in the credits watching this
I need to finish it myself.
That albedo reference got me personally. I was able to get the OG unedited version where you see all the violence. Seriously underrated series and character.
Loved the Captain Planet shoutout!
2 other villains I would add to this list: Zoran Lazarevic from Uncharted 2 and Raphael Drake from 007 Nightfire. We hear a lot through the game about the various war crimes and atrocities Lazarevic committed and he even routinely murders his own soldiers just to further his ambition. Raphael Drake (no relation to Nathan Drake), tried to nuke the entire world from space.
Another villain to mention here is Dr. Weil in Megaman Zero 3 and 4.
Destroyed 90% of the Reploid population and 60% of the human population, corrupted the Mother ELF, made Omega what he is... All before his first appearance. Then he takes over Neo Arcadia, branding all dissenters as Maverick regardless of whether theu are human or Reploid... Oh, and tries to wipe out the last pocket of resistance with an orbital laser, and when he's thwarted tries to colony drop the device onto it as a last act of hate and spite.
2:43 When getting rejected goes wrong. *David went batshit crazy.*
Oh man, Albedo was just a flashback. His character was insane. The Xenogears/Saga games were soooo damn good back in the day. Really miss those games.
Go play them again as an adult, you'll come away with a different opinion. The character momo is just disgusting, all the little school child androids are disgusting. Everytime they are on screen the camera points right up their skirts. These are like 9 year old girls
2 uploads in one day? Its a good day ☺️
The fact you have Xenosaga on here is one of my favorite RPG'S Ever and Kefka!!! I see you on your RPG's Falcon. Going to replay the series now
Handsome Jack in Borderlands 2 sl should've at least been an honorable mention imo. I don't think I've ever hated a villain in a game more lol
Thanks for adding Luca Blight.
Gameranx how do you do it? How do you find all these great list titles and go back to the 90s for the content? It's crazy impressive, you just don't run out of content
Most evil heros video please. Handsome Jack at number 1. Thanks
It's awesome to hear Falcon 😁
Kefka deserves #1 spot played a lot of games and he really stands out as the ultimate.
A shout out to falcon .....it wouldn't be gameranx without you dude , I watch ya clips of a night and pass out usually 2 em and catch up on my lunch breaks at work mate u are a legend mate please PLEASE KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK
P.S NO OFFENCE TO THE OTHER NARRATORS THOUGH TGEY DO GREAT BUT gameranx is falcon as far as I am concerned
Vass was amazing!!! Would like to see more characters like him!
I love Falcons videos. I look forward to them!!
The loathsome dung eater is interesting.
In Japanese mythology the soul of a person is in a small round stone that’s in the rectum. So it’s insinuated by his name that he is devouring peoples souls also.
WTF
@@bernardoheusi6146 This old myth started because when a dead body would be found in a river or lake and it bloated, the rectum would be puffed out like something had been pulled out of it. So the Japanese thought it was an aquatic creature that was taking something out of the body. This led to the mythological Koopa, a turtle like demon that rips your soul from your body if you entered their waters. Bowser from Mario was based on this (King Koopa). So yeah, there's a lot of things revolving around this in Japanese mythology and urban legends, like ghost hands that come out of toilets and poop demons.
Thats. Very strange but interesting at the same time 🤔
Another question do any of you know what the name of the music he used in the background of the Elden Ring part of the video is called?
@@JimboTheEngineer Shazam or Siri should be able to pick it out
Vaas Montenegro is one of the greatest villains in fiction history and one of my personal favourite
Falcon you can never retire from working on these vids
2 videos in one day? Blessed
I’ve watched enough falcon that I knew his #1 before I got there
Love your content, keep ‘em coming
The one thing I enjoy the most about this channel is the creativity.
You could've put Handsome Jack on here no problem. The guy tortured his own daughter, that's just scummy.
Also, Joker's intro in Arkham City(12:25 for those not paying attention) is easily one of my top 10 villain intros of all time.
Xenosaga needs a comeback. Man I miss that universe
gameranx saves my life daily
Glad you put Kefka on top. I'm going to suggest Handsome Jack in a part 2
I'm so happy he mentioned Albedo!!!!
No one ever mentions Albedo.
Guy deserves an award for traumatising any little girls who were playing that game, myself strongly included.
Then they had the audacity to give him that evil boss fight in the second game where you finally think you're getting the upper 'hand' and he just regenerates.
Man, what a villain.
So I only played xenosaga 2 and I was young but seeing you bring it up makes me wanna bust out the ps2.
Keep up the great videos❤
Thank you! Will do!
Gameranx: "Vaas wasn't able to reach his full potential and died too early."
Everyone who played through FC6 and reached the end (and to a lesser extent played the DLC and saw the ending of a certain one): *content smile* "They have no idea."
I'm a huge advocate of the Witcher series, and I really wanted to see Gaunter O'Dimm (short: GOD) on this list.
some other honorable mentions are sephiroth because of his connection to cloud making him unique and Wesker from RE because until the 6th game he is a major villian and mastermind of many events in the whole series
Great vid 👍
A villain people tend to forget which I still hold as one of the greatest game villain ever is Kane from Command and Conquer series. He has destroyed an entire planet using a deadly crystal named Tiberium that spreads rapidly across the world(if one don't count one of the endings where as he nukes the entire planet with it)
Also manipulated leaders throughout our timeline like Stalin.
All this....while still being a charismatic leader that his followers and even poor people actually still love and sees as a hero.
I was gonna say to not mention Luca Blight would have been a little surprising...but they did. Nice Job
Falcon- "megalomaniacal". I've never heard that word but it's definitely my new favorite. Absolute stroke of genius.
You might've heard a different version of the word in a soundtrack for a final boss fight that might be your own music...
Saw the title and decided to watch to make sure Kefka made it on the list. Was not disappointed
Oh my, I haven't heard Luca Blight's name in a while, and just hearing about him now in this video reminded me quite vividly how much I absolutely hated his guts in Suikoden 2 and how much I relished his complete destruction when I reached that arc.
13:46 Falcon, you meant General Leo.
We need more villains like this as it’s missing from today. Villains are meant to go too far, makes for a better impact and impression. Handsome jack is a good example. Always taunts you through out the game and kills a loved character from the first borderlands. Handsome jack does so much more but it’s best to find that out. You hate them of course but you love how good they are as the villains to push you to kick their ass, all the better if the voice actor nails it.
nah, we need strong independent women
@@doorisclose yes! Those are the worst villains 😆
so you want villains that commit unspeakable atrocitices that make you rage until you finally defeat them?
Villains like Havelock too, a guy you think is an ally only for him to betray you and be even worse than the original dude in power.
@@doorisclose 🤣 and misunderstood people not villains 🤣
melania performs "water foul dance" for the first time...
"oh, ok. well... I am dead"
I love evil villains. It makes it so much more satisfying to beat them in the boss battle
What about Joseph Bertrand from the infamous games
Sephiroth and Vaas are my all time favourite villains in gaming
FarCry 3 got me hooked on the series, and currently I've played almost all of them but I haven't been able to get a copy of the first game. The games are so good!
I have played TLOU so many times and I still dread meeting David every time. He creeps me out so bad
I'm so happy Luca Blight was mentioned. He's hands down my favorite RPG villain and I love hating him
I am surprised u didn't do handsome jack from Borderlands 2
Vaas was evil, but the Faith family was nasty too! I just loved Far Cry 5!
WOW! Pulled out the XenoSaga. great series. if you want to get into a great story play this game. you will love it "my pesh"
I thought Vas from FC3 was incredibly overhyped. He has like 10mins of screentime.
Watching this video as an old gamer:
I wonder if they'll remember Kefka.
Falcon:
We could never forget his atrocities!!!
That dude also poisoned Doma, 10 seconds after being left in charge!!!
Might not be the most evil but I couldn’t stand Seymour from FFX
I was hoping Luca would appear on this list. Man, I think I've never hated a game character more than him. JRPG's of that time had a thing for over the top villains.
