10 Best Video Game Boss Speeches

10. Far Cry 2 - "The Harder You Beat A Man, The Taller He Stands"

The Jackal, Far Cry 2's antagonist, is a curious one. Most of the time, the villain is trying to kill you. They may wax lyrical before doing so, but that comes as standard.

They don't, usually, patch the protagonist up after they catch malaria upon arrival to their base of operations. Goes against the modus operandi somewhat.

The Jackal is different, even to the point of justifiable in his actions. Well, to an extent. Throughout the adventure, we're told the Jackal is playing both sides for profit in the arms trade.

But as the story progresses, players begin to see that he's actually working to save the civilians, whilst letting the two warring factions take each other out.

To pinpoint one exact speech would be a disservice, so instead the video above is a summary of the Jackal's intent throughout. It may be heavy on the Heart of Darkness vibe, but that aside, it adds some great humanity to what could have been a standard Far Cry villain.
