Arthur is quite the family man. Not long after having Jack, John left the van der Linde in a moment of selfishness and self-reflection. Not much is known about his time away from the family, but one thing is for sure – Arthur was not happy about it. It’s pretty clear that Arthur was quite hurt by John’s selfish action, as he brings it up about five thousand times in the early part of the game. The family rides and dies together, and John completely abandoned that ideol
While many members of the gang were close to Jack, it was Arthur who essentially took him under his wing while John was busy pouting. For example, he takes Jack fishing, talks to him with great affection, and gives him a few life lessons. Jack also leaves Arthur candy after Arthur finds a book. Arthur also scolds John for his neglect, and he shows just as much worry after Jack is taken and given to Angelo Bronte. At times, Arthur was more a father to Jack than J

Resident Evil has long been home to many great villains. The likes of Albert Wesker and Jack Baker just to name a few, but Resident Evil 4 ’s king of the Las Plagas was special. Lord Osmund Saddler deceives his way into a cult following and forms a plan of Open world games news domination. To start this plan Saddler enlists the help of Jack Krauser, who is tasked with absconding with the President of the United States’ daughter. To make matters worse, once she is taken, Saddler infects her with the Las Plagas virus and plans to betray Krauser. This leads to an eventual winner-take-all collision course with Leon S. Kenn
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
It may seem from the outset that Mario is the good guy as he is on his way to save his girlfriend. However, it is revealed that Donkey Kong stole the girlfriend as revenge for Mario abusing him. We can thank Mario’s animal mistreatment for turning an NPC into one of the most popular video game characters of all t
Fans of the series have come to speculate that this is the work of Doug Rattmann, an NPC suffering from schizophrenia and the sole survivor of a neurotoxin attack. Much like the first entry, this is just as sad as it is sc
Saint Denis, a city of great opportunity and arguably where the Van Der Linde gang finally died off in a sense. Right-hand man to Dutch and fellow leader of the group, Hosea Matthews was gunned down as a personal message right in front of Arthur and Dutch during a failed bank robbery. Hosea was the first to go, and Lenny shortly after while escaping on the rooftop. The question is why wasn’t John dealt the same fate Hosea was. He was captured by lawmen in the chaos and spared. Both men could’ve been sent to Sisika Penitentiary, but only John made
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
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
