Hazama is such a bastard. Almost made me break my controller.

Yeah, he pissed me off when fighting him in arcade mode on hell difficulty.

Captain Martin Walker (Spec Ops : The Line)

I think you're confusing an antagonist with a tragic hero with this one.

He's actually both a protagonist and an antagonist (post white phospherous) as almost all his struggles were the result of his delusions which are triggered by his PTSD. After the white phosphorous incident agitated his PTSD, Joseph Konrad basically became the proverbial white whale to Walker's Ahab, but in Walker's case the whale died weeks before he entered Dubai. Plus his delusions almost got the player killed on multiple occasions during gameplay, making Walker's mind his greatest enemy.

Ha... OP I remember him... I was shock you can beat him everything time you fought him. Because when I played I lost to him until the battle you had to win.

From the games I've played, it's a tie between Master Xehanort, Vayne Solidor, and Sephiran. Oh, and Liquid Ocelot. And... um... others still. I dunno.

Vayne Solidor managed to turn an entire city's population that hated his guts and wanted him dead into an adoring crowd that loved him to pieces with a simple 2 minute speech, after having manipulated events prior that led to said city's current predicament. And then he continued to manipulate things afterwards that helped him in his goals.

The man's that much of a ****ing manipulative bastard and a chessmaster.

Toshimi Tagami is also a pretty well written antagonist. She's from the Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex video game for the PS2. Her ire at how ideals she and others fought for had been perverted makes her do some amazing things.

General Shepard from MW2

Yeah, he was a pretty badass antagonist as far as antagonists go. I liked how the Modern Warfare series started to tell some amazing stories in campaign mode, something that Black Ops and Black Ops 2 followed up upon.

It makes it so much better then the earliest Call of Duty games that were just World War I and II missions. Fun, no doubt, and they weren't bad. But it's just better to play a Campaign mode that has a well-crafted story all its own.

Damn, beat me to it. His elaborate, time-based, and somewhat complicated plan of acquiring the X-blade makes him a pretty badass antagonist. And he's been hindering Keyblade users in his various incarnations like a boss.

Yeah, it seems that right from the get-go he fleshed out every possible thing that could go wrong, made plans for them, and even if these mishaps to his plans didn't quite go the way he envisioned them his backup plans still manage to kick in. At least, that was the vibe I got from BBS. It seemed like he made some backup plans in case his plan didn't quite go through as he intended.

But then, I haven't played all of BBS. Just enough to know that he was a very well-written antagonist.

And it's all in the pursuit of knowledge, as well. Warped, no doubt, but he's doing it....

...FOR SCIENCE!!!

Well, and to try and fix an imbalance he perceives the universe to have in regards to Light and Darkness.

Organization XIII on the whole is pretty awesome as well.

Ok, maybe not the best written exactly.. but one of my favorites is Albert Wesker.

Vayne Solidor is up there for me. Sephiroth from Final Fantasy VII I also up there for me. Loghain from Origins. Joker from Arkham City/Asylum is also on my list. Jack of Blades in Fable: The Lost Chapters is also on it.

Zagi and Commandant Alexei from Tales of Vesperia, however, are the very top of my of list. The bloodthirsty and quite insane assassin who's constant interference at the worst possible times, along with his obsession of fighting Yuri Lowell makes him quite humorous, and dangerous. And the scheming mastermind behind all the events of the game, all the while looking like a good guy until near the very end, made for a compelling antagonist that I honestly wanted to kill, especially when he gets the better of the main characters time and again.

[Catastrophy]

I like Kerrigan.

Ooh! Sarah Kerrigan, Ghost # 24601 (possible reference to Les Miserables? lol) Superb villain of Star Craft, and excellent anti-hero in Star Craft II: Heart of the Swarm. Very nice choice.

I also like Sun Li the Glorious Strategist from Jade Empire. He kind of set the bar for what an antagonist can be to a protagonist and hero.

[Hi my name is Ryan]

Dr. Eggman, obviously.

[saMoorai]

I'm going to add Tim from Braid into the mix.

Jon Irenicus is a favorite of mine. I still find his final conversation with Ellesime touching even though I seen it over and over. He was also one of the few villians clever enough to say no if the player ask him for a explanation of his motives. Not to mention it's not entirely his fault. If the elves had any clue at all he would have been dead long ago instead of suffering under a curse that would make anyone a monster.

Best...Written? Oh boy, that's a toughie. Personally, I never saw the allure of Letho, but then again, I never really liked TW2. Never could get into the characters, though the dynamic narrative was wonderful.

*FO:NV DLC SPOILERS BELOW*

Back to the topic at hand, though, I'd have to say that I found both Father Elijah and, to a lesser extent, Dean Domino (both FO:NV: Dead Money) to be some of the better written and more compelling antagonistic characters of those I've met. Elijah's callous cunning, coupled with his genius and obsessive nature make him someone to respect and pity (especially if you leave him in the vault). The same applies to Dean Domino (and especially if you have to kill him).

Mobius and Klein were also wonderful. Never really a fan of Ulysses.

These jokers. Under the guise of chivalry, they would sooner commit genocide than let go of a single energy weapon. Hate what Bethesda did to them, but I find them to be a good example of a morally ambiguous enemy. I love how New Vegas made all the Brotherhood fanboys mad because they only saw the Fallout: 3 version. No, the real Brotherhood is actually just a step below Father Elijah in terms of craziness. They are a plague that actively impedes human progress.

Jon Irenicus. Loghain, Saren, off the top of my head..

Kain (Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1&2 and during Raziel's parts in Defiance. Quite honestly I am shocked he hasn't got a mention here because he's a very complex character and he sends Raziel literally to a hell for 1,000 years to be tortured. That's better cause for revenge than "you killed my family!" and need I mention that Raziel and his "brothers" are actually the resurrected corpses of an order of knights that used to hunt vampires?)

Agree.
If you play whole franchise you will find that Kain's motives have more
twists and turns than a chemistry set made of springs and corkscrews or any other video game character ever made.

The only reason why Kain isn't picked so much as antagonist is because he slowly turns through the series from antagonist to protagonist especially in Defiance, but yeah he is IMO dbest video game character ever and with Simon Templeman behind his voice it's complete win-win situation.
I'm surprised Bioware didn't give him any villain roles in ME series, it would be 100x times more intimidating and better to hear him as a Reaper or some other villain rather then a Quarian.
