10 Video Game Villains Who Were Right All Along (And You Hated Them For It)

10. Big Boss - Metal Gear Solid

Before his greater development in later games, Big Boss from the Metal Gear Solid series was originally a villain who sought to plunge the world into an endless war for the idealistic but ultimately misguided goal of letting people fight for what they personally believe in.

From the perspective of our world, Big Boss sounds like a maniac, but in the reality of the Metal Gear series, his ambitions expose a bitter truth about Snake and many other characters.

You see, the world's nations in Metal Gear have a tight grasp on most of the world's media and information sources, which, combined with the great technological advancements made within the games' universe, allows them to control people however they like and with little regard for their personal well-being.

In the military, this leads to plenty of soldiers being fed to the war machine and then callously disregarded. Most soldiers you play as or meet throughout different Metal Gear games suffer a similar fate, most notably Big Boss's own mentor.

This is why, although an endless conflict might sound bad, it seems better than the pointless and equally endless fighting you're already doing for the world's power-hungry governments.
