I am sure there has been much discussion on this issue in regards to the All Time Greatest Game Villain, so I am giving my 2 cents on the issue. For those who have been following, both Darth Vader and the Joker are contenders in the All Time Greatest Game Villain. There are also a few morequestionable characters as well, but I am just going to talk about those two specifically on why I think they shouldn't be in the contest. The fact that both Darth Vader and the Joker are doing so well does annoy me and I will explain why they shouldn't be on the list.
1) Darth Vader is famous for being a movie villain, not a game villain. The Joker is famous for being a DC comic villain, not a game villain. So in conclusion they are NOT game villains, but villains who have just also been utilised in a game.
2) The contest is for the All Time Greatest Game Villain, not the All Time Greatest Villain who alsohappens to be in a Game.
3) Both Darth Vader and the Joker are really popular villains. They aren't just praised as movie villains, but also get praise for being great villains overall. This does make it unfair for true, pure game villains, who made their fame through videogames,to get anywhere in the contest.
Well there are my main reasonings on why Darth Vader and the Joker shouldn't be included in the contest. On a related note, I am ranked pretty badly in the contest. I chose Cyberdemon to win with Alma as runner-up, both were knocked out first round. :cry:On an unrelated note, I picked up Heavy Rain and downloaded Alex Kid in Miracle World (SMS), Metroid (NES), and Lylat Wars (N64)off the Nintendo Marketplace (is that what is called? :oops: ). I have been busy so I haven't had much time to get right into them, but I will get to them! :D
