IGN Top 100 Villains - GlaDOS is No.1. Do you agree??

I agree wholheartedly. Though she is not the most evil, GlaDOS is certainly the most memorable villain I've ever beaten. What do you say?

I am not sure If I would pick GlaDOS as the nr.1 but I have nothing against it, it is a very very wellmade character, altho I almost have a hard time calling it a villan...

I would likely rank GlaDOS lower then Id rank SHODAN, but in the end I do understand thier reasoning :P

I didn't find her that memorable. I might remember a line or two and of course the song but I can't recall entire scenes of dialogue like I can for certain other villains, like Jon Irenicus. Actually, I rarely even remember her name. Of course, most villains aren't really memorable at all so she would definitely be somewhere on my list.

Scenes with Jon Irenicus

Some of the best parts at 5:14, the scene at 6:08....actually theres no point in listing scenes everything he says is great, he even kicks ass in his death scene (I don't think it is in the video)

Death Scene

Could have beaten a few down even as a Mage in the old D&D rules.

"If you love it so much, why don't you marry it? WELL I WON'T LET YOU! How does that feel?"

GLaDOS is definitely top 5 worthy, but No. 1 Idk. I mean Kefka, Sephiroth, Ganondorf, Liquid Snake they could all have easily gotten th Number 1 spot. Although I wont take away from GLaDOS she definitely does deserve the recognition as one of the greatest villains ever, but No. 1 just doesnt feel right, I just feel that there are so many other worthy candidates.

That's so so so so so wrong

[QUOTE="bigboss1203"] YES! If they were going to choose an AI as greatest villain they should have chosen Shodanbigboss1203

'The only thing you're managing to break, is my heart.'

THE best villain? Dunno, but she definitely memorable.

oh, IGN does have some sense.

they have Kane up there. from the C&C games. win

Where's Blinky the red ghost from Pac-Man? That was one heinous villain and criminal mastermind. His character wasn't quite as polished as Sephiroth, but he was far more badass, IMO.

No swords, no long hair, or memorable quotes, he just chases your ass down and erases you. Now that is heavy stuff.

I'm rattled Nook was 72...he should be #1!

I'd list GlaDOS in a top 5, but find Liquid Snake to be most memorable from the games I've played.

If they ranked the villains solely on how memorable they are, GlaDOS should not be #1. You can argue that GlaDOS is a better character than Bowser, Ganondorf, or Sephiroth but there's no WAY GlaDOS is more memorable. JML897

Is the titular monster from the game "The Darkness" on the list? If not, the list is automatically invalidated.

The Darkness was one of the best villians in recent gaming, especially because the creature was not only an evil form that had control of you, but it was also one of your greatest weapons against your other enemies. Mike Patton did an awesome job bringing the monster to life.

Also you put in Sub Zero but omit Scorpion? That's a vdeogame sin as far as I'm concerned.Nifty_Shark

If it was most hilarious villian of all time then maybe...but honestly when i saw the top 100 villians GlaDOS never even crossed my mind. When i saw sephiroth, ganondorf, bowser, I was like who the heck is #1? Idk i would put her on the list but i don't know where. A lot of the villians got ranked way to high, such as the pac man ghosts.

I usually judge villains on motivation and action. A good villain should be a character with a reasonable motive. I should be able to, on some level, no matter how twisted, sympathize with the villain, or, at worst, understand why he does what he does. If I can't feel bad for the villain, he's just a black hole of pure evil, which isn't particularly fun. However, the villain also has to do something. Kill the girl, destroy the town, threaten the fabric of reality, it doesn't particularly matter except that it should be a fiendish thing to do. Villains that are funny (such GlaDOS and Fawful) can be an entertaining change of pace, but generally aren't very well developed, so I can hardly count them as "good villains".Fragasnap

I actually disagree. Just because Glados doesn't kill your best friend in a huge action scene, or do anything else that would be typical of some sort of action movie villian, doesn't make her a bad villian. She's actually pretty unique, as IGN pointed out, she acts both as someone who guides you a bit through the gameplay, but also provides a grander goal in the story, in the way of the antagonist.

Portal impressed me, because it's actually one of the few games I've played, that manages to maintain both an incredibly cold and mysterious atmosphere, while actually being quite funny. You play the lab mouse, and Glados is the cruel maze master, yet, she also has tons of personality. Her relationship with the player is more effective and focused than that of most game villians out there, who usually only appear in a few certain cutscenes throughout the game.

The lack of Jon Irenicus' presence in the entire list completely invalidates it. :D

Anyone who knows who Irenicus is and what his motivations were will completely agree.

The list focuses too much on popular/mainstream games. Otherwise, Luca Blight would've been on that list.

I don't agree with IGN period in anything and definately not on their Top 100 villians list. GLADOS? Come on I can think of way better Villians then that to put in the #1 spot. They totally ripped off a lot of good villians to give spots to Zombies and The Combine?! What the hell is that all about? That's 2 perfectly good spots wasted on something as unoriginal and carelessly thought of as that. Rediculous, IGN needs to stop existing.

I agree, The Darkness is an awesome villain and Mike Patton nailed it.

GLaDOS is a great choice, but the rest of the list is crap. Half of it consists of enemies, not actual villains.

Never heard of her, so no

Tom Nook from Animal Crossing being on the list is hilarious.

And the explanation is even funnier.
